I'm 5'11 barefoot and there are many times when I feel kinda short.
Vladimir Putin is 5'-7". You would not want to mess with this guy. The real measure of a man is never with a yardstick. The real measure of a man is in his mind and his heart. Other men know this, and all women know it.
Better than being a 5'6" male, like me. Still, I was a three-year, starting, varsity track and football athlete in high school.
Never had any problems dating mature women, to whom my height was the least of their concern. In fact, have dated women my height or taller for the most part, with no complaints.
I would always be sure it wasn't a problem right away. I almost always "dated out of my league" and you know why? Almost every woman be they 5'9" or 4'6" said "I had a great sense of humor and always made them laugh." Being nice and polite, and humorous always came through.
I know plenty of men who are 5'4" to 5'7" and I sure don't want to find out how they feel about it.
I'm 5'7" and I can tell you how I feel about it: it does not much bother me.
Short men aren't much different than slightly plump women. A man might be sure in his mind every single slightly plump woman is a walking ball of tears wishing she was runway skinny, and needs the constant reassurance from every male in her vacinity that she is beautiful.
But that may be in the perception of men and not be what is going on in the mind and emotions of every single slightly plump woman.
Likewise, many women have the perception every shorter man is constantly thinking about his height. Pretty much akin to if you are an American who thinks every single Muslim is constantly thinking about blowing non-Muslims up.
What you have here in this thread is a man of average American male height who is obsessed over his height. Does not shock me. I find taller Americans are more concerned with my height than I am. This reveals more their insecurities than mine.
I would like to be much taller. But if it is low, I repeat low, on my wishes for self enhancements. If I had a small penis, even if I were tall, I would have a harder timen mentally with that. I'm happy with penis size and would not trade it to be taller or even 6'5".
I think muscle mass, shaping of muscles to close perfection, are physical areas that bother faaaaaaar more. My pectoral muscles are not bad but every time I look in the mirror get irked thinkibv they could be better. Looking in the mirror and catching my back, the muscular development of it, bothers me more.
Actually, I don't think I ever looked in the mirror and perceived myself as short. I was aware of my height like I was aware I have light brown skin and curly black hair. That was it. Come to think of it my hair type has always bothered me faaar more than my height. But muscularity probably tops my concern in terms of physical appearance.
With that said, 5'11 is actually on the tall side. I am 5'6, which is short.
