Groups of short/small people

Good Morning Folks

I hope you're all well. I am a male who is only 5 foot 2 in height and would like to connect/meet up with any other individuals who are small/short in stature.

Is anybody aware of any such groups that exist?

Thanks

  • You'd have to book a stadium! 1% of men are 5 foot 2 or shorter, that's a quarter of a million in the UK. You could also invite the shortest 1% of women (4 foot 9 or under).
    In fact, it's quite a good idea, you could start a festival for the shortest 1%ers, and everyone would be able to see the bands without all the taller people in the way! Amazing.
  • Not sure there is a website for the vertically challenged, but nothing stopping you from starting one, I guess. It's not like your height is something you have much control over.

    If there is such a group I wouldn't join it. Can you imagine how tedious and lacking in interests you'd have to be in order to spend your spare time meeting people just because they are the same height as you are? At least if you joined the Beard Liberation Front they'd have good beer.

    If this is about meeting women, and it probably is, there are plenty of online dating websites that will let you filter by height.

    You should come round to our house, we're all titchy here. Our wedding photo looks like it was taken at a Munchkin convention. On the plus side, at least you'll be able to reach our cupboards!
