Reminds me of this GIF for some odd reason:How do tall people deal with having something like a smaller dick? Even a taller guy with an average sized unit makes it look less impressive. Being Shaq's size and having a small dick? Fuck that.
I'm 5'4".
I've generally learned to be okay with it after 30 years. To be honest, I've never had much problem with the types of girls I've met or been with having issues with my height. I've never been turned down (overtly) or anything because I was short. I've been with taller girls and actually quite like it, a bit of a turn on. I don't do online dating really so I don't know what my luck or ability would be like in that gamescape.
That being said, if you're short, you need to have a strong personality. And I think it's a little shitty when people claim a lot of short people have Napoleon Complexes or get defensive or aggressive or whatever when we kinda need to in order to not be forgotten or looked over. I don't have the physical stature that would impress me upon someone's memory to recognize me immediately; I've had bright neon hair and piercings and still had people bump into me without realizing I was there walking down the street or on the subway. But if someone knows me, if I talk to someone and interact with them and show my personality to them, then there's not too many people who forget about me. Personality is everything if you're short. Some guy I worked with at Newbury Comics like 10 years ago plays guitar for Cave-In and when I saw him at the merch table last year he instantly remembered me. That's the way you gotta be as a short guy; you need to make impressions on people.
My height is seemingly a total non-factor in my life, so sure, I'm happy with it. I'm 5'9" (175cm and change), so I'm shorter than all of you 6ft+ mountain people, but it's all good. If it's been a limiting factor with women, it's never been brought up to my face. My girlfriend is 5'3", so she can still wear shoes with a bit of heel without being taller than me, so she's got no complaints.
I'm also 10/11 shoe size, which basically means shoes are always available in my size. That's pretty nice, I suppose. I also don't have cramping issues on planes, which is definitely a problem for my taller older brother (who's 6'2"/188cm).
If a genie popped up and said, "Hey, here's a freebie! Do you want to be 3" taller?" then I'd probably go for it, sure, just to be 6'. But on a day to day basis, I never think about my height, so I guess that's pretty good.
I'm 6'5" and I honestly couldn't be happier. I love being tall. However I sometimes forget how tall I am until I meet the rare person who is taller than me or someone points it out.
Sure, it's great. I'm 6'1". The only downside is that my shoe size is 13 and a lot of shoes that I like aren't made larger than 12.
Yep, I'm 6'6" and I hate tall freaks. Messes me up when I have to level my head out in order to make eye contact with someone.

I'm 5'8". I wouldn't really be bothered by it if:
A. I didn't have tall guy proportions.
B. I wasn't 8" shorter than my dad (whom I hangout with all the time).
It's never affected you negatively in the dating world? I always thought most women disliked short guys.
Happy with my height...my width, not so much lol.
I swear I was about to make a post almost identical to this. Also 5'11"/1.81 m and happy with it, as I'm usually the taller person in any given situation, but it's never a problem. But yeah, the Dutch are freakishly tall for the most part. I'm going to Amsterdam next week and am already mentally preparing myself for "short mode".5'11", and while I'd like that extra digit, I'm fine with it. I don't have to deal with the problems taller people have or the problems smaller people have. It's like the world is made for my height. I would say that I felt my height a bit when I was living in The Netherlands, where it seemed nearly every man was taller than me, and quite a lot of women as well, but since I've been back in Ireland, I feel much like a giant.
