Re: Discuss the benefits of being short.
I am very petite and 5'1 1/2'' .....I luv it for the most part!
Some of the benefits are repeats... sorry!
- Looking younger than my actual age... starting to become more and more convenient ex. able to order off the kids menu and getting away with it ex. getting away with paying the 18 and under price at the movie theater
- able to wear sky high stiletto's and still be shorter than every guy in the room.
- ability to buy kids designer clothing is also convenient for cost friendly reasons
- noticed that people are more apt to being helpful..... doors are always opened, offers to help carry heavy items, offers to reach things higher up, offers to clean the snow off car & shovel, etc.
- people have more a soft spot for you... like awee... she's so cute...baychaari type attitude. Its comes in handy.
- I luv kids and i'v noticed that they tend to warm upto me really easily because I tend to mix right in with them size wise....
- I like the feeling of being taken care of and you automatically get it when you are so much smaller than your dad and significant other. It goes both ways as well.... I'v noticed that my dad has a special soft spot for me as compare to my sister (she is 5'7'') for this reason.
- I can get away with some clothing options that may look scandalous on others.... but looks just fine on me since I am so petite and short.
- Find it easier to get comfortable in the usual "cramped" places... aka. .... bus's, trains, subways, planes.
Cons
- Looking younger than my age.... not good from a professional pov. No one can believe I am a lawyer.
- Needing others help to reach high things in stores.
hm... and thats about it for cons. :D
