I'm a short male; am I screwed for life?!
Question: I am almost 20 years old. I have a good looking face, pretty eyes, but I am 5 foot 8. I smoked since 9th grade (marijuana AND cigaretts) so I stunted my growth. If I lived healthy during puberty, I could be a tall beastly good looking mofo. ALL my friends are 6 foot+. My dad is 6'2. My brother is 6'4.
I can't even talk to girls. I feel like a little boy. I feel so insecure and feel I can never do anything good or be confident because I have nothing to be confident about compared to these tall developed men around me. I kind of want to kill myself....

No, you are not screwed for life.
I am only one inch taller than you.
What you have is a bad image of yourself. Change that and things will be much better than you think.
Plus, you will not stop growing till you are 25.
get male stimulants from your doctor
post a picture...and i'll tell you..
What's up with being tall? Why are so many men hung up on that? I love short men!! I am 5'11'' and I prefer boys that's between 5'7'' to about 5'10''. I think that's sexy...short boys that is. Short boys are so sexy and cute!!
Hold your head up and know that not all men are super tall. Every man can't be over six feet. I mean you must love yourself for who you are. Since your almost twenty (like me), your growth may have stopped growing by now but I am not completely sure though.
Hi Bo, you are making too much of your height. First, the average man is 5'9", so you are just shy of average. Focus on your assets, and find a woman who does not feel that being tall is a high priority in a man. I would definitely take a shorter, decent, interesting man with a good sense of humor over a tall man lacking in these qualities. I don't think I am alone! Best of luck.
please don't kill yourself you sound really cute. believe me 5 foot 8 really isn't short at all. I know guys that are 25 and 5 foot five or six. just own it. but seriously that really isn't short. :)
hope I helped!
I'm 5 10 my bro is 5 8 my sis 5 4 none of us have issues with height. Do yourself a favour look up the height of Prince, Tom Cruise.. do they look like they suffered and they are shorter than you. In Japan or China you would be taller than them all. Hold your head up. You are not a boy you are a man.
You havn't stunted your growth by smoking during puberty, that happens by your parents smoking while you were in the womb. You have self esteem issues, which may or may not be helped by a councilor. You have to decide what you need to do
BUT IF YOUR SO SHORT, ARE THEY REALLY THAT TALL IF SO ARE THEY YOUR MUM N DAD I THINK NOT SHORTY
Well, its not always bad being short. Some girls like the underdog, because if you stop smoking, and stuff, people will like you. If you never give up and don't do drugs and that stuff.
Yes. You absolutely are screwed for life. Nothing you can do about it. Bye bye.
personally i love short guys. i think they r so hott and cute. and most of them ive met hav had pretty good confidence in who they r
. Hope i helped u!
5'8 r u kidding me

oh shut up :)
im a short girl and know loads of short guys who love their life and girls ;)
and 5 foot 8 is not that short! and your 20!
go on, go get em!
Don't worry about that crap for a second. The average height for a grown woman is about 5'4" and there are lots of these women who aren't interested in men that are 6'4". The average height for a man is 5'9" so you can consider yourself average height. If you're confident in yourself, then women will be interested. If you act nervous and inferior because you have convinced yourself women have already rejected you for being short, many would reject you, but because you are giving them the feeling that you have no confidence in yourself. A self-fulfilling prophecy.
There is nothing wrong with being short. And you are even not so short, you are about average. Some women like shorter guys, some like taller. So I see no reason why should you have problems with women?? But one thing that women notice is CONFIDENCE, so all you need to do is change your attitude and get more confident.
I'm only 5 ft 7 inches and have no problem around taller people. Its all in your self confidence. You don't have to be tall to be good.
I am 5'7 dating the best man in the worls sexy and manly beyond beleif he's 5'5"
Height is not your problem. Self esteem is.
I'd suggest you educate yourself about proper diet and exercise as a foundation for energy and good health. Start lifting weights and running to add muscle to your frame. Girls like that. Enroll in a martial arts class and develop skills in that area for both self protection and self esteem. You'll gain the respect of your peers. And, get yourself a good education and/or skilled trade. Nothing as rewarding as a satisfying career. Face your fears headon!
It'll take some work and discipline on your part, but the rewards will be tremendous. A good, satisfying life demands a lot of goal setting and work on your part. It doesn't just happen.
Good Luck.
Your problem is not physical, it's spiritual!!! lol J/k. I heard that on Legally Blond the Musical. And then they did the bend and snap. But that won't help here. I'm 5'2" and I don't like being short sometimes either. At least you're 5'8"! Get a grip dude, b/c I'm way shorter. You're not short. It's all in your brain. Be happy, live healthy and drink Aquafina. lol
