One of my biggest insecurities pertains to my looks and height (yeah, I know its a bit taboo to bring it up around here). It doesn't necessarily have to do with women (I've had women in the past tell me I'm hot) and it's sort of an interesting case.

I'm actually 5'4, but according to other people, I'm actually pretty good looking. I feel like on most days, I feel like I am too, but there are definitely days when I look in the mirror and don't like what I see. I'm actually less concerned about what women think of my looks (not that I don't care at all) and more about how I think I look. Especially since I'm so short, I feel insecure if a guy is significantly taller than me or if a girl is taller than me.

But honestly, I think the real reason I feel like this is because I haven't put myself out there as much until recently. It's funny how when you go out there and talk to people how much of these problems seem to fade away.

Hey. I feel for ya. Guys that are taller definitely have it easier. Does that mean you're out of luck? Absolutely not. You might just have to work harder than the average bear. I'm 5'7'' (5'8" with shoes) and I can get tail. It might be a lot tougher, but it's doable.

Unfortunately, society has programed us to become very superficial but what are you gonna do. A nice solution may be to purchase shoes that can add about 2-3 inches to your height. They have some good ones out that you can find on the internet and they make them very subtle. (I think these are going to be extremely popular if they aren't already). On top of that, you can add a special insole. Overall, you can add about 5 inches to your height!! 5'4'' + 5'' = 5'9''. Now you're height is fine and you can definitely get by, but if you want a quick fix, you can try this out. Women fool us all the time when it comes to their looks. They put on loads of makeup to cover up their blemishes, so how is this any different? You're just levelling the playing field ;-) Try that out and see what you think. Cheers.
