#ShortGuyProblems #RelationshipIssues #HeightInsecurity
Are you a short guy dealing with relationship issues due to your height? It can be tough when your partner is upset with you over something you can’t control, like your height. But don’t worry, there are definitely things you can do to improve the situation and make your girlfriend feel more comfortable.
Here are some tips to help you navigate this situation and improve your relationship:
Understanding her perspective
First and foremost, it’s important to try and understand where your girlfriend is coming from. Height can be a sensitive issue for some people, especially if they feel insecure about it. Take the time to listen to her feelings and validate them, even if you don’t fully understand why it’s such a big deal for her.
Communicate openly
Communication is key in any relationship, and this situation is no different. Make sure to have open and honest conversations with your girlfriend about how she’s feeling. Let her know that you care about her and want to work together to find a solution that works for both of you.
Focus on what you can control
While you can’t change your height, there are other aspects of yourself that you can work on to boost your confidence and make yourself more attractive to your girlfriend. Focus on things like grooming, dressing well, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle to show her that you care about your appearance.
Show her love and support
Above all, make sure to show your girlfriend love and support during this difficult time. Reassure her that your height doesn’t define you as a person and that you value her for who she is, not how tall she is. Encourage her to embrace her own insecurities and work through them together as a team.
Seek professional help
If the issue persists and continues to cause tension in your relationship, it may be worth seeking professional help. A therapist or counselor can provide valuable insight and guidance on how to navigate this situation and strengthen your relationship.
In conclusion, dealing with relationship issues related to your height can be challenging, but it’s not insurmountable. By understanding your partner’s perspective, communicating openly, focusing on what you can control, showing love and support, and seeking professional help if needed, you can work through this issue and improve your relationship in the process.
Remember, you are more than just your height, and your worth as a partner goes far beyond physical attributes. Embrace who you are, and show your girlfriend the love and respect she deserves. Together, you can overcome any obstacles that come your way and emerge stronger than ever.

Mate just get rid.
She’s been with you a year and she’s upset over something you can’t control and that she’s known about all this time anyway.
She seems to care more about how she appears to others than how this might even make you feel.
I’m sure I’m jumping the gun, I’m just jaded from dealing (and seeing people) deal with that type of partner. You’ve said enough red flags for me in your post.
I know it’s basically a meme at this point that every comment on a relationship advice post is just to break up, but in this case I think that might honestly be all you can do.
She’s upset at you for something about your body that you can’t control. That isn’t something that will go away because there’s nothing you can do about it. If she can’t get over it, then these issues are never going to go away and you will both likely only grow more and more resentful towards eachother until the relationship eventually blows up.
This is a problem with her, not with you. It’s not up to you to fix it.
No offence but your girlfriend is an idiot.
She can have her preferences whatever but it’s not like she didn’t know about your height when you started dating.
You aren’t short for your age, because you stopped growing years ago. This is it.
find a better partner. this girl is being pissy at you about your height? that’s utter bs. she’s going to be pissy at you because of “how it looks to everyone else”? absurd.
if she’s that shallow, and lashing out at you because of her own insecurities, then she’s not worth your time. you deserve better.
22 going on 12. Imagine getting upset with someone for something they cannot control and something they were completely aware of when they decided to start dating you a year ago. This relationship is reaching its expiration man
Sorry to hear that.
Why are you tolerating such disrespectful behaviour? imagine if you were the one mad at her for a physical feature she has, does that not sound ridiculous to you?
>how can I make things better?
By finding a new gf.
Ok, just think about it the other way around:
Would it be ok for you to be upset about her that her boobs are not big enough, that her hair has the wrong color, that her hands are too small?
She is doing body-shaming and also seems to be superficial if she is concerned at how others will look at both of you…. i mean who fucking cares?
Sorry to say this, but this behaviour shouldnt be normal and shouldnt be accepted. Do yourself a favor and seriously think about if you want this kind of toxicity in your life.
Oh, and btw – it is normal to be small and its not unattractive… i dont know how in other words to tell you this – but realy dont let this kind of toxic views get into your brain – your height has nothing to do with how normal you are or how attractive you are…
You shouldn’t be with someone who makes you feel bad about something that you can’t change. You deserve better and she has some growing to do
First of all, I’d like to say that 5’7 is a perfectly normal height. It’s true that the average height for men in some countries is taller, but globally, you’re actually above average. Population height is determined by a lot of factors, including genetics and nutrition. And while it’s also true that many people find taller men more attractive, it’s just a general trend, not a universal rule. It’s not something that you should view as a personal deficiency or something that you need to fix.
In fact, there are plenty of women who prefer men around your height or don’t care about height at all. Consider Peter Dinklage, who is 4’5 and considered very attractive.
As for your girlfriend, it sounds like she may be projecting her own insecurities onto you. She’s worried about how the two of you will look as a couple if she’s taller than you, but that’s her issue, not yours. Maybe she grew up in a culture that values height and she’s internalized that as a norm. But the fact is, norms are changing, and more and more people are recognizing that height doesn’t determine a person’s worth or attractiveness.
I know it’s hard, but try not to let her make you feel small about your height. Instead, stand tall, metaphorically speaking. Show her and everyone else that you’re comfortable in your own skin. That can be a very attractive trait. And if she can’t accept you as you are, then maybe she’s not the right person for you.
Of course, I understand that you love her and want to make her happy. You might suggest that she wear kitten heels or a lower heeled shoe in order to feel comfortable around you. But ultimately, she needs to learn to love and accept you as you are, not how she wishes you could be.
I am a 5’7″ adult. I have never felt short or unattractive at this height. I have never once given a shit about my height. I have never had anyone worthy of my time give me any shit about my height. I have never had any issue with any woman I was interested in because of my height.
This is a her problem, not a you problem. You can date any woman of any height. Confidence brother!
Coming from a girl she doesn’t want you anymore
Tell her to deal with it or fuck off
Your girlfriend is a shallow idiot. Did she not notice your height when you started dating? Ditch her and get a not-idiot girlfriend.
“I know it’s not normal and unattractive to be this short at my age, but how can I make things better?”
That’s plain bananas. Those thoughts are all in your head and I encourage you to not let it live rent free. Sure people have opinions about height, but if “not normal” and “unattractive” are part of their opinions they either keep that shit to themselves or they aren’t worth the time.
1st of all when she chose to be with you (because it’s a choice, no one is forcing her) she knew about your height (which honestly is not that short to me?? I’d say normal height)
2nd do you really want to be with someone who gets mad because something you can’t control? She’s supposed to bring you peace not problems. Especially with really immature 💩like this
I’m almost 5-6, 5-9+ in heels.
My Mr ECU is 5-4 and built like a Viking.
He has ZERO qualms with my height or his. None of the ole “wear flats” (unless I want to) shit.
Don’t settle for any type of body shaming. You deserve to be perfectly comfortable in your skin with your SO. Always.
There’s a really easy solution for you. Actually two.
The first is to dump your shitty girlfriend.
The second solution is to go get checked by a doctor because there’s no way you’re normally this stupid.
I wish men would understand that being short doesn’t make them unattractive or abnormal. My partner is short and perfect the way he is, and you are too. Your girlfriend should go ahead and fuck off if she’s going to tell you otherwise. Shitting on anyone for an immutable trait is despicable. And for the sake of vanity? Fucking gross.
Team 5ft7 🥲
you need to date smarter people, mate
You know what you can do to make it better?
GET RID OF HER. Jesus christ what a fuckin shallow monster.
I hope she finds a guy who is 7feet tall and then flies into a volcano with him
Get out before she continues to erode your self esteem, you deserve better
5’7″ is really not short for a Mexican dude. She’s making you feel shame for being born into a Mexican body, for not conforming to her western beauty standard. Fuck that, have some pride and kick her to the curb.
