When reading the others I was wondering how tall you are. I'm 5'4" myself, and I do find that people have a difficult time of respecting short dudes. Sometimes it feels like I'm excluded from being a man at all - you know how in school where the teacher would ask some of "the boys" to help with *some physical laborish thingy*? I still get passed over in my adult life and it's like. Yeah. Not that that example is the worst thing in the world, but it's loads of small (lolololol) things that add up over time with other bigger things sprinkled throughout.

And it gets into every corner of your life. I mean, I know, LOLFURRIESTHINKABOUTSEX but like, you'll definitely be expected to play certain "roles" and even when you aren't there's almost their weird fetishzation going on, "oh I love small tops!" but it's like, idk, almost as if it's this joke. (This part may be entirely just my own experience with a crappy ex though! Where it was communicated that I was being "allowed" by his "good graces" and that I was definitely smaller, weaker, less than him - didn't really do much for the ol' libido or self confidence!) (Also sorry if that seems weird or TMI - I'm not trying to be murry~ but instead acknowledging that sexuality is a part of a lot of peoples' lives and as short men those two subjects cross paths on occasion)

You basically just summed up my feelings
I understand how you feel. Were the same height

I love how you made it so you still want to be tall despite what the bear said. I love that feel of realism.^^
