Nah, tall guys don't think about your height at all. The problem is that short guys sometimes think everyone is so busy thinking about their height when really they just don't care. It's a self-created, self-defeating thing.

This is probably even more the case if you grew up where a lot of people were short, say in Asia, or where there were lots of Latino immigrants. Some Latinos with a lot of Indian in them are incredibly short, like under 5 feet tall.

Being 5'6" is pretty unremarkable in L.A. if you're around many Latinos or Asians. There are plenty of Asians, and Latinos are everywhere.

The real downside to being short is not how other guys regard you -- we're too busy thinking about ourselves, like all guys, to think about you at all. It's that women often like taller guys.
