    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

      I don’t think a lot of men are insecure about 5’4. I think it’s more the 5’7 to 5’11 guys that are insecure. Better to be abnormally short than average.

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

        I’m 6’3 and tall to most people, but fit under most doors just fine.

        Basement stairs can fuck right off though I’ve done that lotsa times and it managed to be a surprising painful thing every time.

        Also I think I’d laugh if someone said and if the short guy things to me, I get called things like string bean and “big guy” by bros who don’t know me.

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