If yes, what are the problems you are facing in day to day life for being short. If you are an average height person, what problems you face with short persons.

Im average but my boyfriend is short. I love him but sometimes our relationship gets affected by this "height problem". Looks weird when we go out on a date...makes me feel really uncomfortable

I am only 4'10" so I consider myself shorter than some. But I dont make it a problem for myself cos, there are a lot of people who are very much shorter than me. I think ones personality doesnt depend on the height. I sometimes wear even flats, specially when I wear Salwar. I make it a point to stand streight and look at others in the eye, so that they will only see my eyes and not my shortness. Not because I am short, but I personally think, women should not be very tall but small and cute. I dont know what you'd think about that, but that's my own thinking. Have a great day.

You have given a terrific answer. I did not know that one should look straight into eyes of other person. I have a sister who is now in Singapore. She has 3 daughters. 2 of them taller than my sister. When my sister is not accompaniying them to shops, the shop keeper asks my neice Where is your sister? Your response is quite interesting with many tips for short persons.

I am 5 foot and most would think I was short. I don't have any problems with it probably because I never worried about it. I feel people should be measured by their personalities and outlook on life, not by bodily looks. Good discussion.

Philosophically speaking what you are saying is wonderfully fits and applicable. But when it comes to practicality, it has its own problems. My sister-in-law is 6ft and my co-brother is 5 ft. When they walk on the street, they are subject of discussion. At stores, they are looked at by passersby. Relatives and friends keep asking many questions about their height difference. They avoid going together.

Now that you are married and having a child, you should not feel sad about that incidence, you should say good riddance.

Definitely you are not. Do you know there is a saying: Never believe a short person, even if you believe a thief.
