Ask a short (5'4ish) guy

Ask a gay was taken so I went with this instead 
Fire away

How does it feel like to be short?

Neck aches from looking upwards.
Mentally, ranges from annoyance at having to look so much harder for cute clothes, to celebration in your quirkiness.

But if a piece of clothing is too long for you, there is a chance it can be tailored. Try being to tall for clothes, there's not much that can be done. That's why I hate buying clothes here, I need to buy from American and European brands because here I'm an elf.
A question: do you ever need help to reach kitchen cabinets?

That's a good point about getting clothes tailored I guess. Still extra money though
Ummm if it's like the top shelf or getting something on top of the cabinet yeah, I need a stool lmao

Yeah, most dresses and skirts here make me look like a deviant.
 I think you just need to find a tall boyfriend to help you reach that place 
Lord knows I need one

omg that reminds me of these Jamaican street preachers in my city. They're not violent but this one time they were talking about "cover your breasts! Cover your legs!" to all the women in the street. I didn't know whether I was shocked or wanted to laugh, the nerve of these people. You best not come to Birmingham with those skirts then You might razzle dazzle a few Jamaicans
Yeah any guy I see is like "at least my height or taller". I don't mind a guy being same height as me, but please not shorter haha

haha, the worst that has happened to me is catcalling and wolf-whistling, which I do find very distasteful.
Jamaican street preachers in Birmingham?
they've come a long way to preach, they should start with all the woman in bikini and the men in speedos that lurk around their beaches.
Seriously though, I find it so funny how Americans seem to have an aversion to speedos, but they're okay with bikinis. Do Europeans have the same problem?

Continental Europeans, no. Italian and German men in particular love wearing speedos, and I'm sure a lot of them shove pairs of socks down there to make the image look more impressive.
British people are more prudish about sex tbh, and I think any man who wears speedos is either seen as vain, narcissistic and/or gay. I wouldn't be caught dead in them.

haha, I'm sure they do, just like sometimes we pad our bras and bikinis, but there's a whole industry devoted to that
So, you just wear shorts to the beach? Do you have to buy them extra short so they don't extend beyond your knees?
