    I’m 165cm (5’4")

    Everything I say is a short guy thing to say

    I can’t believe so many men are insecure about being me. I’m me and it’s pretty damn cool. The feeling of fresh grass on my chin in the spring… the cover of mushrooms when it rains… the company of leprechauns… I see only pros and no cons

      Lol. But here, have some actually great benefits I wish I had:

      • The bed is long enough (u don’t need a custom made)
      • cars are great (u don’t need to imitate a giraffe to half-assed see the world outside, or take the seat out)
      • you can kiss a woman while… Errr…you know. (Not trying to pull her nose out of your bellybutton first)
      • clothes actually are your size (you dont need 12xl shirts, just so the arms fit but you can also go camping with your tent)
      • airplanes are cheap (u dont have to buy 1st class just to not fold yourself in the middle)
      • doors are OK (u dont need to duck. Which u learned through pain)

      But there are also benefits…like having a better oversight over crowds and. Err…yes.

        You missed the “everyone thinks you are there just to reach things for them”. Women in particular seem to feel entitled to my reach. The few men that ask are either walking with a cane or sitting in a wheelchair.

        Even my Wife, 5"4"/163cm has no problem interrupting me from whatever I’m doing to reach things for her. Despite having 3 step stools in the house just for her.

        But if it gets to be too much of a hassle and pisses me off, I start asking her to pick things up off the floor for me because she’s closer to it. She then has a fit because I’m making fun of her height, and then she stops asking me-- for a while.

        Here’s more benefits:

        • you can wiggle your feet in the air when sitting on a chair
        • adjusting car seat is always easy; just pull it all the way to front
        • you can eat her ass while standing
        • you can have a nap even on two person couch
        • you don’t have to buy a huge pickup even if your dick is small
        • you can work in the mines and have innate knowledge about metallurgy and smithing

        Wait, what was the topic again?

        Another benefit is slightly longer lifespan as the heart doesn’t need to work as hard for blood to travel as much distance.

      Ya but I bet you’ve never felt the abrupt bliss of donking your head on a doorframe.

      You learn to cope or you get mad. I’m glad you coped with being Frodo’s brother.
