On the few occasions I am out with my friends, I always feel awkward and uncomfortable because I am too short (5'4). I Also feel that it is O.K. for a gal to be that short, but not a guy. Does anyone else feel this way or have any comment? Thanks

I didn't put this in before but by nature I am very shy and not outgoing. I feel that my height makes these problems even harder to overcome

I use to feel that way too, I 'm short as well, however I learned long ago that it is a lack of confidence that causes people to feel insecure about themselves. I too was once very shy. I found that once I started to get over my shyness that I stopped being uncomfortable and didn't feel awkward anymore. It takes time to cure your lack of self confidence, you may need counseling or you could try what I did to overcome mine. I started to do things that I wasn't too good at, practiced until I got good. I started joining groups or organizations where you had to interact with others alot and even did some public speaking. I say get started, make a plan write down what you feel is holding you back and then come up with solutions that will help you with your confidence. If anyone teases you about your height tell them that good things come in small packages and not let them deter you from reaching your goal. good luck to you .

No, I'm tall enough that my feet reach the floor, so what else matters? If it's not okay for a guy to be your height then go ahead and correct it if you can....(I'll wait)...
Well, if you can't do it, maybe you should just make peace with yourself as you are. Nearly every woman I've ever dated has been taller than me...believe me, it's not an issue. Everything I've wanted to do I've accomplished in some fashion or another, and you can do the same. You need to develop a short man's attitude: full of "in your face" boldness! Convincing the rest of the world is a piece of cake...convincing yourself is the hard part, but that's the first most necessary step to confidently achieving anything. Do it!

I believe it only counts on personality and how the person is. That is why my favourite saying is that it only counts whats on the inside. The world these days believe only appearance matters. You could be short, tall, fat, skinny but make the most out of how you look, also as a small tip if you would like to grow a few inches taller, do not drink coffee for it stunts your growth, orange juice and milk are very good too. But like I said it only counts whats on the inside.All the best!!

honey, its not whats on the out side that makes you a big man its whats on the inside. keep your shoulders back and your head high, walk with dignity and like your self for what you are and people will see that in you, not your height as far as 5'4" that just doesnt matter to any woman who is worth having anyways.

hey im a girl and im 5"10, so im kind of in the opposite situation as you. its like, all the guys are shorter than me. (im 15 by the way). i also feel that its right for the guy to be taller than the girl. but ive dated guys ur size, because im proud of my height. sure im taller than everyone my age, but i stand proud because thats what God gave me, and i cant change it. girls can wear high shoes, but guys really cant. so i say, stand proud, and act as if your 7 feet tall !

no i haven't felt that way...well i used to a lil. but i have a couple of friends who have. but it's ok cuz it doesn't change anything. u shouldn't let it bother u. i mean tall people wish they are short and short people do wish they are tall. so yah...i guess the advice i could give u is to not let it bother u.

yes dear well i felt that way for years nearly all my high school years until i met my hubby and hew as 5'3' now its ok but you can't make yourself too tall anyhow and tha tis what ever someone wants. i am short wanted to be tall and people tall wanted to be short its a vicious circle and no one is ever happy about it.

No, you are not. Height does not equal value.
