[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][url][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a female and I don’t think I could find short men or very tall men attractive.[/quote]

My friend is married to a guy who is probably 5’5” and he is fantastic. He has everythhhg minus height - good looking face, great hair, super fit, very athletic, smart, kind and funny.

[b]Op, please don’t let your son have a complex about his height.[/b]

My son is 5’8” and close to being finished growing. Most of his friends are all over 6’ with one close friend who is 6’5”. He is the short one in his group. I never focus or mention height.[/quote]

I don’t think OP has much control over what her son feels. At best, she can try to shape the narrative and help build resilience. PPs somehow think that kids don’t have thoughts and opinions of their own. [b]5’8” vs 5’4” is a world of difference for a man. Not that you can’t be a great, successful guy at any height but don’t be so dismissive about a kid’s feelings at 5’4” or 5’3”.[/b][/quote]

This! Sure 5'8" is on the shorter side for a guy, but your son's experience is completely irrelevant to that of a kid who is done growing at 5'3"![/quote]
