Any of you around my age of 55? For twenty years I have a Gambling Addiction.I am also a truck driver spending most of my adult life on the road. I am short 5'3" and have a complex over that.I am also very hard working, more than average. Don,t keep jobs more than a year, but never without work. But this Short Guy phobia I have ,which I believe is the culprit of my Gambling addiction Has got to go. My god, I am 55 never had a girlfriend and crucify myself for my stature.I had a troubled childhood do to parental sickness and often taunted and teased for my size. Many cases during early adult years when people often are establishing relationships. I,d pay for help.

Welcome! What you need is a shorter woman--and there are some great ones out there.

I'm already taken, but I am a 58 year old woman who is 4'10'' tall.

I think it's a shame that we short people are looked down upon. (I try to have a sense of humor about it.) And it is worse for a man, alas.

Would you like a resource for ADHD? I know one book that says that it can be like a blessing. I have a son (around 5'9''), who has ADD and is doing quite well at an elite university.

Send me a personal message if you'd like to talk more about this situation.
