[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't like that your gf is framing the problem as her mother's problem. It's cowardly and dishonest on her part. If your height bothers her, she should own it and not make her mother the bad guy.

Even if her mother said it, why did she feel the need to repeat it? Height is out of your control so it's not worth discussing and not something you can work to improve.

Also, 5'3- 5'6 is a strange way to list height. Unlike weight, height can't fluctuate, lol. You are either one or the other. Further, 5'6 is also short for a man, so no point in stretching a truth that still places you in the same category.[/quote]

Because OP is also insecure about his height. as someone says he needs to own it and match with someone who is shorter than himself or someone taller who doesn't care that much.

GF has a problem with the height, but  I suspect her bluntness is a cultural difference.  [/quote]

That's the thing-- she's not actually being blunt; she's being passive aggressive.[/quote]

I am not sure this is right. OP is obviously insecure. Did he ask his girlfriend what she thinks? Did he ask if anyone has said anything to her?

Most guys I dated who had some sort of insecurity would ask stuff like that so I am guessing he got these comments only after quizzing. [/quote]

I was never insecure about my height growing up, mainly because I was clueless that women even cared about height until I was 20 or so. Once I realized it was a major issue I definitely became hyper aware for a while and blamed it for my lack of dating success. As for the quizzing, my girlfriend brought it up first and has always been the one to mention it. I never talk about my height with women because I know it will do absolutely no good and it’s already plainly obvious that I’m short. I let the girl bring it up and I shrug it off without getting angry or defensive, it’s really the only thing you can do. A man becoming visibly insecure is like blood in the water. [/quote]
