WELCOME TO r/short

What is 'short'?

For the purpose of this subreddit, 5'7'' and less is considered "short" for men, and 5'3'' and below is "short" for women.

However, everyone is welcome; we don't care as long as you're polite, respectful and a positive member of our community.

There's also a chat-room, everyone is welcome!

For our non-metric friends, a handy height conversion table

Useful links:

Short Discord: The affiliated discord server where you can chat to fellow users. All heights are welcome.

Support Thread: A List of users willing to listen and help out for those who are having a tough time.

Will I grow?: A collection of thoughts on the issue. There's really no need to rehash this.

Don't forget to check out our sister subreddits: /r/tall, /r/dwarfism, /r/XXS, and /r/shorttwox.

Looking to meet some other people of limited stature? Check out /r/shorty4shorty or /r/shortmeetshort for all your shorty friend finding needs!
