Whats up with 5'9 guys who think they are short. They seem to be everywhere. I seen them in height boards complaining about their height. and how they suffer from height dysphoria. Its like try being way under 5'9 and see what it really is like being a short guy. |

You could look at it that way, but I look at it as society becoming more and more obsessed with height, to the point where even 5'9 guys realize that if they were merely an inch shorter, suddenly they are nothing but a manlet and everything they do is a sign of compensating. These guys are probably freaking out because they are mere inches away from being treated like an alien rather than a normal male.
Besides, the more the merrier to be honest. Most men are around 5'9, so if they start to care about height prejudice, we might be getting somewhere. Unfortunately, I'll be the first to admit the 5'9 guys tend to only care about not having the dating perks of being tall. The ones who care outside of that are cool though. I'll also agree that the 5'9 guys who call themselves short are strange, unless they live in the Netherlands or something.

Heightism is seriously getting out of control. Just saw a post of a 6 feet guy on a height board saying he is thinking of getting limb lengthening surgery. I don't know about heightism being mainstream. But in a lot of the height forums..they are very aware of heightism. Its getting to be really bad. I don't like where this society is headed. Anyways..you wanna maybe do something about it.

Some of the shit I have been hearing how short people are inferior is absolutely ridiculous.

Been seeing that lately. It’s just going too far, in my opinion. If I were 6 ft tall, I would never even complain about my height. That 6 ft guy is EXTREMELY insecure at that point.
A 5’9” who thinks he’s short should try being 5’6”. Any height lower than 5’8” is when pain, and mysery shows up. It’s more clear when you live in a place that has too many tall people living there.
In my area, I feel like I’m 5’2” instead of 5’6”, because people here are getting too ridiculously tall. Even old people are well over 6’3” here. It’s like they got tall families that moved here from Netherlands. That would be my only explanation.
My area is so weird, because we even got little people that live in this small town as well. Families who are little people and families who are close to 7 ft tall.
Anyway, I barely see that many tall people other than the small town where I live. If they have a problem being 5’9”, then it’s more likely too many tall people live there, and these 5’9” guys just need to realize that it isn’t them that’s short.

Yea you are right its definitely getting out of hand. I think a part of me thinks they are mocking short people,,specifically short men. I just read on a post on r/short how he doesn't see a lot of short people walk around. And some other short guy its because they feel ashame of their height and don't want to get stared at or mocked.
