Living in a world of constantly getting your pants hemmed and being asked “How’s it going down there?”, you tend to think of the negatives of being short. Rarely do we ever thing of the many positives there actually are about being a short, little ball of sunshine. In a world full of negatives, here is a list of 10 positives that make being short not so bad.
1. Getting pants hemmed has become part of your shopping routine.
Regardless of where you buy them, there’s a good chance you’ll have to get your pants hemmed. Thank goodness you have your seamstress on speed-dial aka your cute Grandma.
2. Capris are always regular length.
Just like the whole getting your pants hemmed, there’s a good chance that capris or 7/8 pants fit you just like regular jeans should. Why spend the extra money on regular length pants when you can just buy capris?
3. You have an awesome excuse to stand on EVERYTHING.
Good chance you have a step stool around your house somewhere for those hard to reach places. Standing on the counter becomes such a regular thing that people don’t even question it anymore.
4. T-shirts are easy to turn into casual dresses.
Tall people have to constantly worry about dresses being too short and their butts hanging out, but that isn’t something you have to worry about with being short! In some cases, you can even wear a shirt that counts as a dress!
5. Shaving your legs is a walk in the park.
Being short, aka short legs, aka less leg to actually shave. Every girl hates shaving her legs so that’s definitely another perk of being short.
6. It's so easy to fit into small places.
Whether you are playing hide and go seek or just trying to find a nice, comfy place to sleep, being small comes in handy.
7. You're never too tall for things (shower, desk, car, hallway, doorway, etc.)
Tall people have to worry about being TOO tall for so many things- shower heads, sitting somewhere, and so many more things. Being short, you never have to worry about getting your whole body clean because you can’t fit under the shower head.
8. Your significant other is always towering over you.
When you are short, most people are taller than you (obviously). Rarely do you ever have the problem of your significant other being being shorter than you, because not too many people are.
9. You can pass as a small child.
Being told you can pass as a kid when your 18+ years old definitely has its pros and cons. Pros: kid’s menu and kid’s clothes.
Cons: Being carded at every rated R movie you go to.
10. Heels are an essential.
Tall people have the problem of not being able to wear heels because they are too tall, but short people never have that problem. You can wear heels all you want because you’ll finally be the same height as the rest of your friends.
