I dont see what the problem this guy has with his height.For a start he is taller than me and i wouldnt have minded being 5’5 for a guy and being short is the pits i cant stand it.There isnt any good things about it.I have just turned 19 and still look like i am 12 when i pass the kids going to school i am round abouts the height first years in high school.I have always been short in primary school it wasnt too bad till my last year there and we had to have our heights checked in our year.I was the shortest guy and the next one had 3 inches on me.I was the same height has 3 girls in my class.When i started high school i was 4’5 i left with my height at 4’10.My date for the prom was Julia and she was 5’3 has non of the short girls would come with me Julia didnt even wear heels so it wasnt too bad.I wore my shoes with 2 inches on them taking me to 5’0 so the prom pics werent too bad.I am the same height has my 14 year old sister but i cant see her staying that height i usually try to check that she is still the same but i have a suspicion that she may grow taller like our mum has she is 5’5 and our dad is 4’11.It seems strange but us guys took our dads height and the girls took our mums height. So i stand at 4’10 Louis stands at 5’0 and Mark is 5’1 i am the youngest guy my sisters are Sarah she is 14 and 4’10 and kirsty is 5’6 and 20.There isnt much you can do with the height you are given so we have to deal with it and get called names for the fun of it.

I dont know what all the problem is with this sarkosy guy.Just get over the fact that being short isnt the be all and end all.I am short and i experience problems everyday with my height.I could have blamed my parents for being short and passing on the gene to all the family BUT we all get on with it.I am around 4’9 and 30 years old.I am the oldest sibling next is Francine and she is 4’11 and 27 Lastly is Robert and he is 5’2 and 22 years old.Now we all know why we are so short because our parents are.Our mum is 4’9 and our dad is 5’1.What chance did we have but we live with it.Out of all the family the tallest is 5’6 which is our uncle.I endure people in the supermarket siding up to me and looking down this is mainly other women.Just leave me alone i know i am short and everyone is taller so what.I think my mum had it much harder being has short has we are because it was different then.I can handle the name calling i mean i am still called shorty by my friends.When i go out i find my shoes with the highest heel and if i am lucky i may add 3/4 inches that still takes me to around 5’0.The good things is buying cheaper clothes has childrens clothes are a treat and never hardly need taking up. I am lucky to have found a lovely guy and we live together he is 5’5 so about 8 inches taller.Living together we dont get much use out of the higher cupboards as i have to climb on work tops otherwise.So it can work it self out in the end.

I think alot of French guys are pretty short anyway so he shouldnt stand out that much.Wearing lifts is a laugh people should accept themselves for what they are.I am average height 5’10 and 22 yrs old.Now i know i aint no giant has other guys at work are taller we also have a couple of short guys so what.At work we are all treated the same anyway.My best friend is 5’4 and he thought he would try out these lifts he said it ached his feet all day and threw them out.Sarkosy is abit of an idiot has if his height bothered him why be with a tall women it dont make sense.

I found it hard growing up having the mickey taken out of me all the time.I always wondered if i was gonna grow taller over the years but it never happened.I must have been about 13 when i stopped growing i suppose it was a good job that i only had my younger sister in the family.I was unlucky to get my height from my mum she was around 4’10 my dad was 5’6.At the time i thought i was even gonna end up shorter than my mum.It seemed to take a lifetime to reach her height. My sister Lois who is now 16 is 5’5 i am hoping she has stopped growing.I am 20 and i am now 4’11 i couldnt even reach 5’0 which wouldnt have been too bad.When we go out has a family i know what is gonna happen has it is always the same.I have found a pair of shoes that have an inch and half on them that just brings me to around 5’0.My mum on the other hand digs out her high heels which have no lower than 4 inches on them.When we go to the restaurant i get a few stares has people try to guess my age.I do look younger than most people my age which doesnt help.I have just found a blinding woman who i have been with for about 3 months.I found all the short women didnt want to know me but Kirsty is different she is 5’5 and we get on very well.She understands that because of our height difference which is 6 ins she doesnt like to wear high shoes which suits us both.There is someone out there for everyone i feel.

Well, look at michelle and mr obama. IF she wore 6″ stils she’s be over his head. So she wears mostly flats.
That sharkozy guy found a taller woman…bad idea if you are so uncomfortable in your own skin. My Gf is 5″3.5 and i’m 5″6. Not much room but she does get to wear her high heels and be about an inch over me. Most times she in heels we on the same height.

But to all the short guys out there, one thing i’ve learnt is that it might look awkward but the subconscious mind makes it even worse when everyone sees ur not comfortable with it. I’ve always seen some other short guys with sexy taller women and admired them…no one said anything to them..and i realise its the self confident smile they haev on their faces that made the difference.

Be confident in your own skin. Get playform shoes if you wanna (i wonder what those feell like), but remember with or without just be happy with urself. You could have been born without legs for Christ’s sake!

Give thanks, be happy

I dont give a stuff about Sarkozy being short.The guy is still taller than me anyway.
I have endured name calling since i was 10 yrs old and to this day still happens.
The name that has stuck is Small Paul due to my lack of height.I am 40 years old now
and barefooted i am 4’10 not much for a guy my age is it.I just put it down to coming from a
short family my mum is 4’11 and my dad is 5’3.So what did i expect to get from that.
I have a brother who is older and he is 5’0 and an older sister who is 5’5.For convenience i do still shop in the kids section for trousers has they fit much better.I am married to a woman Julie for the past 20 years and she is for obvious reasons taller than me.She stands at 5’8 i did try to snag a nice short woman but no one wanted a short guy.The wedding pictures were funny Julies side were all tall and my side were all short.We has a video shot and to this day we laugh about it.Julie decided not to wear heels on her big day has they would have put her nearly 6’0 and what with me being under 5’0 it would have seemed like i was in lilliput.When we had our first dance i was cuddling into Julie and what with the music being loud she was trying to talk to me so my head was looking up at her most of the time.My mum who is 4’11 danced with Julies dad who was 6’0.My dad who is 5’3 was with Julies mum who was around 5’9.I think mum pulled the short straw has the height difference was more noticeable.I had a couple of pics taken on the church steps where i was made a little taller by standing on the step above Julie.
We have a son who is 20 and he is 5’9 and a daughter who is 18 and she is 5’5.I am glad that neither got my height and that suits me just fine.I still notice things like when me and Julie sit on the sofa and of a night she sits one end with her feet up and i sit the other end we put our feet on the sofa and hers are just so long compared to mine.To this day she still forgets and puts cetain things up high and i am having to climb on the worktop is no one is around.I am used to it and evey day is good for us.

I cant understand why the guy makes so much fuss about his height.It only makes it worse.I heard that when he goes to factories the staff must not be taller than him.he is such a shallow guy but what more can you expect from a french guy.If height bothered him why is he with such a tall women the guy needs his head read.

I am 20 now and i suppose for a women height isnt a problem has we can wear heels.My height is 4’9 and i am the same height has my 10 year old sister.I am dreading the day when she grows taller i know that it wont be long has my family and friends keep saying how much she is sprouting up.I am the shortest in the family.My mum is 5’2 and dad is 5’5.I am the eldest then comes Jamie he is 17 and he is 5’3 Kirsty is 14 and she is 5’0.Lastly is Heidi she is 10 and my height i think she may be inching up over my height has i passed her in the hallway where we have a large mirror.I have some great friends who have always helped me get on with things.I have Maddie who i have known since school and she is a couple of inches taller than me but she is always saying she wanted to be over 5’0.When i go shopping for clothes my mum is forever adjusting them i dont like buying juniors has the styles arent very good so mum alters them for me.I generally try to buy the short length trousers and they tend to have to have a good 6 inches cut off them.My shoes i have to buy when all the kids are at school has they sell out otherwise.I thought i got my height from maybe my grandmothers but one is 5’0 and the other is 4’10.So maybe from them i suppose.

Being short is the pits i know so has i spend everyday being shorter than alot of other adults.I am now 25 yrs old and i am barely 4’10 and i sadly take after my mum who is 4’10 just like me.There is also my 24 yr old sister and she is 5’7 i used to find it awkward growing up and watching my sister get taller than me.I am lucky to have found a woman that accepts me for what i am okay i may be shorter than her and people laugh at us when we are out.My g.friend is Samantha and she is 28 yrs old and she is 5’9 wearing her high heels she is nearly 6’0.She is sometimes accommodating when we go out and she doesnt always wear her high heels.She generally calls me littlelegs when i have trouble reaching something in her house.I would love to have been about 5’9 like my dad but it wasnt to be.

I always thought i was short but now i feel better that i am an English man and taller than the French p.m .I always hated being 5’7 barefooted till i see this Sarkosy in the papers.He looks like a little Hitler bloke doesnt he.I still try to find shoes with at least 2 ins on them but i would never wear lifts like him.So what if i am the shortest guy out of my friends when i wear my shoes i feel okay has they only have a couple of inches on me.I heard that Sarkosy went to a factory or something and wanted to be on the platform with short men and woman.Come on man what is up with you.There is a saying once a shortarse always a shortarse lol.I have even heard that he has to stand on a box to be able to stand to speech.What does he expect when the height of french men is not very tall anyway.I bet even his mother is taller than him stupid sod.
