Today, I was eating at a restaurant with my boyfriend. He's 6'2 and I'm 4'11. Out of nowhere, the hostess started openly flirting with him, and asked him if he needed a booster chair for his daughter. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was working as a host at a pasta diner. The hostess I was working with was very attractive and we were flirting quite a bit. A large woman walked in to be seated, and I leaned over to her and dared her to ask the woman if she wanted two chairs. She leaned back and said, "That's my mom." FML
Today, someone thought I was my boyfriend's daughter, instead of his girlfriend. I'm 4'11", he's 6'2", and this has happened four times already. FML
Today, I was on a first date. I asked her what she brought to the table since I’m a pretty well established guy. A voice in the booth behind me yelled out, “How bout a booster seat, Smurf!” Everyone laughed so hard I got up and left. I’m 5ft3 and bitches always make it about my height. FML
Today, someone asked me if I was my boyfriend's little sister, just because of our height difference. He's 6'2", I'm 4'11", and this is the fifth time it has happened. FML
Today, I went to a restaurant with some friends. I noticed a very cute waitress about my age, so I walked over to her and asked if she had a boyfriend. The extremely fit, attractive waiter standing next to her immediately turned, held out his hand and goes, "Yeah. Meet me." FML
Today, I asked a girl at the restaurant I work at if she'd had enough to eat. When she said yes, I said, "Are you sure?" I didn't realize how insulting it sounded until her equally overweight mom was up in my face, demanding to see my manager. FML
Today, while waiting on a customer at a restaurant, I accidentally asked a midget if she'd like a children's menu. FML
Today, I went out to eat with friends. My crush was also at the restaurant with his friends. He smiled at me as I took a mouthful of food, and I choked. The waitress had to perform the Heimlich maneuver on me, while he and his friends fell off their chairs laughing. FML
Today, I went out to eat with my girlfriend. The waiter came up and was being nice. He said, "What can I get you two gentlemen?" FML
Today, I was out to dinner with a friend I had a crush on. The whole time, he was flirting with the waitress while I was trying to get him to notice me. When we got the check, he looked at her and said, "She's not my girlfriend, I only go out with pretty girls. So, can I have your number?" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

He loves you. Ask yourself this. He is handsome enough for people to randomly flirt with. He is with you. This means you are very worth his time and his love. Be proud. Height is irrelevant.

It's happened to me too, hon. ETA: and the above replies are assholes.

# 2 - That is just plain ignorant # 18 - That is just plain...well, no, that is even more ignorant. My sister is 4'3". She is sixteen and never growing past that height. She weighs just under fifty pounds. There's absolutely nothing wrong with her, and we don't consider her to be a 'midget/little person'. She is completely in proportion. There is nothing you can do to help what height you are, barring surgery and possibly exercise. I myself am just over six feet and I prefer much shorter girls. Referring back to # 18, perhaps the reason you really couldn't get a girl in high school had more to do with your personality than your height, eh? Grow up. *Slight grin*

i dont know whether to cry or laugh, but being tall around short people is a problem. i one time took a girl shorter than you out to the mall. She said she was going to go to the bathroom and so i waited. i sat there for thirty minutes and didnt realize that she had come back and was standing by me the whole time.

I'm a 6'4" man -- and I completely agree with other posters that short girls are extremely beautiful. There's something very different and lovely in the looks of shorter women -- nobody looks more vixen-y than a short girl. I would love to date a short woman at some point -- and I also adore tall women -- but I've never had a serious relationship with either. No matter what, it should be about who you are; I hope you love yourself, even if you are short! Even though our society hates short people, there are lots of advantages to being short: try flying, driving in too-short cars, sitting in normal-sized chairs, or finding decent-sized clothes that don't make you look like lurch -- it's not as easy as it seems! I can also tell you that our bodies aren't built to be this tall, with problems like growing pains, back pains, injury-proneness, and much more. Even though I enjoy benefits of being tall, I'd rather be a couple inches shorter; 6'2" is a good, normal-looking height.

#121 - One begs to ask, why did she not say something if she was standing there for 30 minutes? Haha. I hope you two had a good laugh about that.

i am 4'11" and if i didnt have DD boobs then people would think i was 5 or something... my younger sister is taller so people assume i am the youngest...i get so pist Little People of America (LPA) defines dwarfism as a medical or genetic condition that usually results in an adult height of 5'0" or shorter, among both men and women, although in some cases a person with a dwarfing condition may be slightly taller than that

I CALL BS. What kind of waitress asks if a 4'11 child needs a booster seat?! Kids stop getting booster seats by the time they're at most 8!

Shakira is 4'11 and super hot.. I would pick her over any tall model type chick.. Short girls are the best. I never date a girl taller than 5'4 and i'm 6'2.. Tall chicks look like men.

Is that why the tall girls are models for Victoria Secret and such?? Because they look like men???

That sucks...I would have left her a penny tip. I'm 4'11 too, but my boyfriend isn't quite 6'.

I feel your pain, though I'm a couple inches taller (5'). My boyfriend's a bit taller than 6'2, also. But it happens constantly, only those girls think I'm his sister. We're only 16.
