I honestly never truly considered my height disadvantage with my friends until college. At parties, walking around, etc. I am not sure if it’s a Short King thing or not, but all my buddies have super long strides when they walk, I don’t.. lol! I do walk fast at times but my stride is less than a 6ft plus mammoth dude . Additionally, thanks for honestly pointing out that being short is a factor of many things in life other than just weight. I’ve always looked at my self more or less as having trouble with dating before Courtney and such was being a chubby. I was so self conscious about my weight in high school, which I regret because I let it hindered me from exploring new social groups other than just surface level conversation. I am 5 ft 8.5 inches, but one of my legs is 5/8 of an inch shorter so consider us nearly the same height 🤣

Additionally, consider Short King officially apart of my vocabulary, I haven’t heard that term till today 🤣🤣- Bobby

Yeah, I've always found my dad bod to be more of a barrier than my height, but especially since teaching, it's hard not to notice how short I am lol.
