I'm below the height of the average man and I'm not gonna tell my actual height cause I like my privacy thank you very much.

But that still leaves me the question on what should I do when I'm short?
...Cause one things for sure i'm not going to scare off someone taller than me and will be inadvertently seen as cute by people taller than me when I barely qualify as cute.

Just asking random advice and thoughts on a Friday.
...Cause what else is there to do when you're not learning or working on anything at the moment?
I'm still steer clear away from reddit and twitter/I refuse to call it x because the only x that is in my mind when brought up is this guy --->

Someone who can crawl through vents like John McLaine in Die Hard(or Gordon Freeman). Perhaps use this skill to save the world, or stuck kittens.

What an adorable question.

To me, make yourself interesting but using other qualities of yourself, you can't change your height without a very risky and not worth it surgery but anyone who is looking for something deeper in a relationship would want someone who interests them. If you get rejected because you're short, they're probably extremely shallow anyway

🤷‍♀️ embrace it. I’m taller than the average woman and it’s been a feature of mine that’s been commented on my entire life and probably will continue to be.

Open a chocolate factory and be the fun size version of Willy Wonka and only hand out those tiny fun size candy bars. I'm not sure where you'd get shorter oompa loompas though. Maybe you can just hire squirrels to run around and throw levers.

You could just be a normal person.

The average height difference between a is approximately 5 or 6 inches, so if you're not too short you can probably just look into dating shorter women to keep things proportionate, and odds are she won't find it too weird because race is an influencing factor to height, so that'll likely be normal for her race.

Though truth be told I'd just advise being yourself and not worrying about it too much. If a woman rejects you because of your height, then you were never in her dating pool in the first place and you have nothing to lose by asking her on a date like you normally would anyway.
