Her posts took off way more than we expected, so I'm doing this AMA to answer some of yalls questions.

Thank you. To everyone who left kind comments about us, it meant a lot. To the people who are skeptical, if she's Al or a new bot, you're entitled to your opinion.

She has always been a private person. I suggested she post on Reddit because I thought it was a creative way to share her cosplay, opinions, or even vent. She's logging off for a while because people have been DMing her photos of glizzy and tracking down her socials, so I'm covering for her. (She might still lurk on my phone tho)

Let's keep the comments chill so it won’t be removed, tryna get to everyone's questions. 🙏

Hi you all!

Im 5'6 or 168cm for my metric folks and I kinda struggled with my height for most of my life as you might can imagine with me posting in this sub.

I had a boost of self confidence in the past years so It hasn't been a big problem for the previous years but now, I went back to university to get a higher degree and it kinda removed all of the external confidence I had attached to my previous position.

So now Im just a short engineering student who is older then most of the fellow students in class.

Naturally in electrical engineering, there are close to zero women but we currently have 3. One of them started to hang out with the students I have contact with and she is particulary close to like the loudest dude in class.

They have a weird dynamic together. Both are very judgy, arrogant and kinda rude but what is literally killing me lately, next to the stress with learning, is that she constantly makes comments about my height and he is getting along with it like Im some kind of zoo animal.

They are walking behind me and she says things like "Damn look how short he is" or sometimes directly in front of me that my other fellow student is a grown up version of me and Im just standing there in disbelief, unable to help myself. Last week they kinda wend down the stairs behind me and I just heard my name and they started laughing and I know they were talking some shit again.

Becaude of this my mood went down a lot to a point where 7 students asked me if Im alright and I usually say yes because I want them to stop asking but funnily enough she and that other dude ALSO asked me the same question cause they beliefe Im still friends with them and I just told them that Im hanging in and then I just left them. Like can't you both blind asses see that you guys are the reason why Im down?

Why making more rude comments about my height when you already see that something is off and Im kinda isolating myself?

Im nearly 30 now and get basically destroyed by some kinds 7 years younger than me and there is nothing I can do about it except being passive agressive, leaving or smiling which makes me feel like the sad, weak kid I've always been. This sucks and the amount lf times this happens makes me think about if she is obsessed with me or some shit like this. Like why is she bringing this up all the time?

I hope Im able to get into therapy soon as I had a initial meeting 2 weeks ago and I think I told the therapist everything I sruggle with which is a ton. Im waiting for a spot since 8 Months cause the last one noped out after she decided that she can't help me with my issues which I respect. Im just not entirely sure If I can get rid of this insecurity with therapy as it is a way bigger issue then I always thought.

Pls I need any advice because im going to a new school with a bunch of different people idk. Plus im short as heck and idk what to do and I need some advice.

When I go to gay places I either get tops thinking I’m bottom ( I’m a top ) but 99% of the time no one hits on me but they’ll go hit on my tall gay friend who ain’t even good looking.

I don’t really understand this logic.

How do short gays deal with this ?

I believe a man's height doesn't matter as much in real life as social media makes it seem. Don't get me wrong, height is definitely one of the factors that can matter when it comes to attraction, but it's nowhere near as important as people online make it out to be.

Bollywood actors like Salman Khan and Aamir Khan are reportedly around 5'6" and 5'5", respectively, yet millions of women were crazy about them during their prime.

On the other hand, I've known plenty of men who struggle to attract women because of their looks or personality. Even during my school days, the boys who were good-looking, had great personalities, and—most importantly—were confident enough to approach girls often had girls interested in them.

If you have good looks, a great personality, and confidence, I believe many women would prefer you over a tall guy who lacks those qualities. In many cases, you just need to be a little taller than the woman you're interested in, which many men of average height already are.

Height can matter, but it doesn't matter nearly as much as social media makes it seem.

• Global average male height: 171 cm (5′7″)
• US average male height: 175–176 cm (5′9″)
• UK average male height: 175–176 cm (5′9″)

Where does 5′8″ (173 cm) actually sit?

• US: 5′8″ is the 36–38th percentile — shorter than ~62% of men.
• UK: 5′8″ is below the national average (177 cm).
• Globally: 5′8″ is above the world average (171 cm).

Meaning:
5′8″ is not a universal “normal height.”
It’s below average in the US/UK and above average globally.

Short men aren’t unusual — the internet just makes tall men look more common than they really are.

Hey guys, this is my first post here, so bear with me. I'm 5'2" and pretty average-looking. Honestly, I've never really experienced dating. I don't have zero female friends, sisters or cousins, and I barely talk to women. Most conversations I had with girls didn't even last 10 seconds and they also not seem interested anyways. Whenever I'm with my taller friends, I notice girls approaching them for help or starting conversations, while that never really happens to me. I'm not blaming anyone, but yeah, it hurts sometimes. I've kind of accepted that I might end up alone, but I'd still like to enjoy my life. Any advice on talking to women or dating? Also, recommend me some movies, shows or books that short guys like me could relate to. I'd appreciate some honest advice.

Hey, im a 155cm/5'1 woman in Germany and doctors giving young girls growth stoppers fucking annoys me.

Im not tiny tiny but in Germany im the shortest person in the room most of the time and it annoys me. I hardly get taken seriously and when i hear that doctors are advising parents of young girls who are likely going to be tall like 180cm/5'9+ to take growth blockers. Like for what?? So that they are more attractive?? Isnt that insane? God i wish i got the opposite from doctors.

I might be petty because im mad that im short but it definetely is weird.

Parking is awful and I look small as hell driving a Ford Ranger😭. I never liked big cars cause I'm used to my Spark's size but now borrowing my father's care confirmed it.

I just want to share a little encouragement for men who are under 5'3" (160 cm) and sometimes feel insecure about their height.

I'm 5'3" (160 cm) myself, and I've been able to date taller women. So please don't convince yourself that you're automatically unattractive or that taller women could never be interested in you.

Of course, some women prefer taller men, and that's completely fine. But women don't all have the same preferences! Some care much more about personality, humor, confidence, kindness, and the way a man treats them.

You don't need to be 6 feet tall to be masculine, lovable, or desirable. You don't have to compete with taller men or prove your worth to anyone.

Your height is one part of you, not your entire identity.

Work on yourself, pursue your interests, take care of your body, develop your confidence, and treat people well. Don't let your height stop you from approaching someone you like or believing that you can be loved.

You won't be everyone's type, but nobody is.

To all my fellow short guys: don't give up on yourselves. You deserve love, respect, and happiness just like anyone else!

Just thought it’s interesting to compare with your heights!

Anybody shorter then me?

Of course it screams insecurity if you ask but I got a couple of dates who told me they didn't imagine I was short even it was on my bio.

Tomorrow I have a date with a 5'5 woman and I'm 5'4. I already told her If she doesn't mind being taller than me. I told her I don't give a fuck If a woman is taller than me. Of course she didn't see my real size on the app even it's written.

She said it's the first time for her to be with someone shorter but she seems very open minded. She liked my comment about not caring being with a taller woman.

I'm lucky with this one but a lot of time I spend days, even weeks talking to a woman and she has no idea I'm short. I don't know how to say it without sounding like an insecure guy. (which I'm tbh).

Do you guys have any tricks ? Like you put it in your bio in a funny way idk ?

Timeline of Human Stature

Over 3 Million Years Ago (Early Hominins): Early ancestors like Australopithecus were petite; males averaged about 125–130 cm (4'11") and females averaged around 105 cm (3'5").

2.2 to 1.6 Million Years Ago (Homo genus / Homo erectus): The emergence of the Homo genus brought a major surge in height and body size, with Homo erectus males averaging around 160 cm (5'3") to 175 cm (5'9").

40,000 Years Ago (Upper Paleolithic / Cro-Magnon): Early Homo sapiens (such as Cro-Magnons) were remarkably tall and robust. European males averaged around 176 to 183 cm (5'10" to 6' feet), matching or even slightly exceeding modern averages due to a protein-rich hunter-gatherer diet.

10,000 Years Ago (The Agricultural Revolution): The shift from foraging to farming caused a sharp drop in nutrition and a spike in disease, shrinking average human height by 10 to 13 cm (4 to 5 inches).

The Last 200 Years (Modern Era): Industrialization, better sanitation, and modern medicine allowed human heights to bounce back and climb toward current global averages (around 171–176 cm or 5'7" to 5'9" for adult males).

People inherit genes from the extinct species which is totally normal.

The guy:

-He enjoys his work and has hobbies he’s been passionate about his whole life.

-He lives very close to his parents and has two siblings with whom he gets along well.

-He has a wife, two daughters, a dog, an appartment and a car. Not crazy properties, not crazy investments. Just a very average or even modest income.

He was fortunate to grow up with a mother who guided him well, and he never had any trouble meeting women—even though he’s short and, in terms of looks, a 5 or 6 out of 10. That said, he is very extroverted and somewhat popular; he’s well-known within the small circles (very niche) he moves in.

He didn’t go to University, though he did pursue some further education after high school—and he actually enjoyed what he was doing.

When I think about this guy, I realize that some people seem to have been touched by a magic wand, and that there are things far more important than height.

I suspect that if he were 20 years old today, he’d do just as well.

It's my first time dating taller and it's such an eye-opening experience. She has a stunning face, perfect body, two bachelor's degrees, a masters, and a successful career. The profile of someone who has an incredibly wide range of options for potential partners. But our height difference is completely meaningless to her.

In our entire time of dating, height has only come up three times. First was when we first started talking and we exchanged profiles/pictures to check for mutual attraction (2nd pic). The second time was when a convo about physical preferences came up (1st pic). And the third time was in person when I asked about her friends (she's in the fashion industry so most of her friends are very tall) and she told me many of them have dated shorter.

I've never considered myself short or had insecurities with my height, but I've definitely seen all the memes/posts on social media so it was on my mind when I approached her. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that many attractive girls do not hold the same views that are propagated throughout dating apps / social media and thought I'd share here.

Deep inside, I know talking about stuff like this is very embarrassing and relevant, but it really is to me. I know I’m never gonna find a real relationship although my last one we are currently friends I don’t know if she really wants to take this too seriously which makes sense. Even though I have a good personality, good hygiene,making income this picture is making me a little emotional I had fun don’t give me wrong but every time when I’m at home, I’m just a completely different person that nobody wants to see unless if they really wanna give me a hug but living in Georgia, overall has been not bad but there’s just a couple things I want to change, which I can’t even if I’m still growing.

I’m 20 and 5’7”. Never been in a relationship, pretty insecure about my face and body, and lately I’ve been feeling like shit about myself in general.

A big part of it is my height. I keep wondering how different I’d feel if I was taller or just better looking. But there’s also this other thing I’ve been dealing with for a long time. I’ve had thoughts about being a girl since I was a kid, even before I really understood sex or relationships. Those thoughts still come up now sometimes when I’m not thinking about anything sexual, and sometimes when I am.
Part of me thinks I’d feel a lot more comfortable being a guy if I actually liked how I looked and wasn’t this lonely. Another part of me wonders if I’d still want to be a woman even if I was confident and happy with myself. I’m scared this is just my brain trying to escape how undesirable I feel as a short guy who no one wants.

I don’t want to dismiss these feelings as nothing, but I also don’t want to make some huge decision based on the hope that becoming someone else would fix everything I’m unhappy about.

For anyone who’s been stuck in self-hatred or height insecurity for a long time… how did you start figuring out what was real vs what was just you wanting to escape yourself? Did working on your self-esteem change how you felt about other stuff, or not really?

Not looking for anyone to tell me who I am. Just want some honest perspectives because I don’t really have people I can talk to about this

I'm 5'4" and my boyfriend is 5'1". I've been dating him for a while now, and I'm tired of people acting like I need to explain myself.

When we started dating, people kept saying "I never expected you to date someone shorter" or "You look like you’re into taller guys." As if I'd downgraded. Then my friends got in on it. They made short jokes, and when I got upset, they told me I was wearing rose-colored glasses. I almost ended a friendship over it. You're telling me my own happiness is fake because of 3 inches?

His uncle's first words to me were "seee being short doesn't matter." You don't say that unless you think it does.

Here's the part nobody wants to admit. I've dated taller guys, and honestly they treated me worse. Height was never the thing that mattered.

The weirdest part is the club, where we met. I get more attention with him than I do with my girls. One guy told him "nice black shirt" and walked off, and he said that had never happened to him before. Later, while we were literally making out on the dance floor, a guy tapped me and asked if I was single. I just kept kissing my boyfriend as my answer.

Then a group asked him if they could "pimp" my friends out to them. One of them hovered over him when we sat down, like they were waiting for my boyfriend to leave so they could have a turn.

Is a taller man really a "better catch," or is that just what we're taught to say out loud?

Why does a woman dating a shorter man get treated like she's in denial, while a man dating a taller woman gets treated like a threat to someone's masculinity? ugh.

TL;DR: I'm 5'4", my boyfriend is 5'1", and people act like I settled. Tall guys treated me worse, and I get more attention with him than without. Why is a woman dating a shorter guy "in denial," but a man dating a taller woman is a "threat to masculinity"?

24m 5’6 and half. Last night I made a hinge (on my profile I say 5’7 though) and about a half an hour later I got like from a pretty girl who was 5’6. After a couple of flirty messages I sent her my number. I didn’t know if she was going to text back but after a little later she did. I know we barely know each other and a relationship is not guaranteed. But I have never dated a girl who was around my height before. To the fellas who have or are currently dating around their height, how has that experience been ? I personally know i won’t mind, but im nervous if it ever comes to in person maybe she’ll change how she feels about it .

Hello friends what physical sports or hobbies(football, backpacking, etc.) do you guys enjoy doing? Personally I love boxing and cycling

Do you feel that going to the gym to build an athletic (NOT juiced up bodybuilder) physique improves your chances with women if you are a naturally petite short guy (ie. 5’5)? Or once you are that height, it doesn’t make much of a difference? I used to weigh 100 lbs. prior to weightlifting & am wondering how much of an effect that had on my dating experience (or more accurately, lack there of). Please give practical experience.
