I am 5'7, average looking and have muscles. I can speak Hausa, Ibo and am fairly intelligent. I always treat people with respect and can be very witty at times. I know that women prefer taller males but for me this is extremely terrible news. I wasn't even aware that my height could possibly matter at all until after my first year of college. I just assumed people didn't find me physically attractive or that I wasn't social enough (I've found that that is only part of my problem). What I've noticed is that according to 95% of girls, height is one of the primary determining factors in mate selection. 20/20 devoted a segment decades ago of a 5'0 male (a successful one at that) getting repeatedly rejected by women. There is a documentary about such heightism and in China there is a 5'3 height requirement to merely obtain a driver's license!!! Sperm banks have height requirements in America!! Outrageous! There was even a need for an organization named NOSSA (The National Organization of Short Statured Americans) to be established. What do you guys think? Anyone here going through what I am right now? (trouble finding dates, less respect at work, ppl treating you less than you deserve etc...)

So what height for a man, is considered short...By you anyway.

Am 5.7 as well n i dnt ve any difficulty finding a date.
Its all about hw u feel about ur self

it's depends on the individual and ur level of confidence,i know some short guys dat controls battalion of girls....but bros,u don do research gan unto this matter

Well, short is short. It's an irony...i prefer short girls!

Misplaced priority, why obsessing over height instead of your career.

short guy + money=alot of hope

short guy + confidence = there is hope

short guy + no money + no confidence = no hope

5.7 is okay na. Its ur complex u ave to work on cos I feel dats wat is disturbing u. Maybe a girl ave dissed u cos of ur height iSsue. Stop hiding in ur shell, be happy, be dat fun lovely person u want to be.

Why are you obsessed with your height? 5.7 is not bad .
As long as you are physically fit and exudes self confidence, men and women will overlook height.
You should not be obsessed on things you cannot change example height.
Pursue success in life and have it, you will see how tall you really are .
Cheers!

When u luk down on urself it has a way of reflectn on d outside d way u communicate,do things and all of dat so Be Confident bruv...many short guys get married 2 taller ladies so there's noin 2 worry about...just pray u meet d rite person who'll appreciate u.

don't see why this can't make the front page too. if the 'fat girl story' could make it and got lots of advice and attention as a result, then I think what is good for the goose is good for the gander.

Mods, do it!
