Nothing wrong with 5’7 height, it’s the 5’7” attitude, I’m sure you don’t have a 5’7” attitude x

What's the 5'7 attitude? Asking for a friend.

In guys, it’s the attitude that they have to be extra masculine to “make up” for being less than average height. This usually comes off as gratingly cocky and insecure at the same time.

I think that’s called being a fucking asshole. Not being short.

You're not wrong. But most people like to excuse their asshole behavior to themselves, at the very least, and height is one of the excuses they'll use. Same with race, gender, weight, religion, etc.

As a 5’2” tall mid teens boy I hate it when people are dicks and then say that they’re being a ass because they’re short. Like, I hope I’m not that much of a fucking asshole, but it makes a stereotype that short people are a bunch of angry little dicks.
