Dear anonymousindian:

I grew up in a country where I at 5’5” was taller or the same height than most men at the time I lived there (teenager and early twenties). The thing is, I did now walk around thinking: “These short people are lacking” kinds of thoughts. I was thinking: “I am too tall. I am defected.” I walked with flat shoes or sandals, curved my back so to be shorter. In these very days, decades afterward, I am still working on trying to straighten my posture.

When a person walks around feeling inferior (too short, too tall, too heavy, too…) that is where the problem is.

True, statistically with all variables constant, a taller man has a better chance getting a date. But these are statistics only. You only need one woman to date or marry, not a percentage of female population. And the women around you may, like me, feeling badly for being too tall… or too _____ (many possibilities).
