The Short community needs a movement to find the cure for shortness.

Yeah I dont see why you need to make a new account. Politics aside I think you should just stop sweating it.

Sweating what my friend?

You are thinking too much and in a childish way. We know the benefits of being taller and the difficulties of being short. If not we wouldn't be here. If there was a way to grow easily and safely without breaking your fking legs, we would be the first to do it. I think I prefer this forum as a concrete help for future and current LL and not to do philosophy or rant about why your crush doesn't love you.

For a 3 cm gain I suggest tall shoes...

We need to stop putting down people and making threads like these. Arguing about crap like this is not going to help anyone. This is the type of thread I should see in someplace like r/short not here.

I do not get you guys... no one is putting anyone down or thisis not a matter of philosophy. The point is, this is a forum where people are interested in height all I am saying is that maybe we need too stop being so quiet about this and start asking more questions or start being more vocal and work together too find new solutions. Thats how things get done. Yet you do not seem interested in changing things or even asking questions as it seems too offend you guys. Anyways I will move somewhere else and hopefully find more hope. God Bless

The thing is that most short guys would not want to join a "movement for short men" or something like that, because that would make height their defining trait. Most guys are probably raised with the belief they have to work for their success, and that nobody owes them anything. They don't define themselves as short, even if they are, that's just part of what they think about themselves as human beings. If they are comfortable with their height, they don't feel they have to join a movement, and if they're uncomfortable, they wouldn't want to exaggerate their height issues by joining a short men movement. Do you understand me?

Yea I agree, having a movement for us short people would probably make things worse.

Same here. While I appreciate movements to help minorited I cant help feeling that sometimes it can become 'othering'. Like c'mon man, we're short. We don't need another us vs them.


When I said stop sweating it I meant to not worry about your height so much. Most people aren't too concerned about height. If you really are bothered by height though, try tall shoes first.
