I'm 6'7", suck it, nerds.
My head just about touches the roof of any car. Long distance driving hurts my legs.
It's impossible to find fitting clothes/shoes without going online.
People always ask me if i play basketball.
My back and knees often hurt.
Tables are too low.
My feet hang off of beds.
Nothing is made to accommodate my height.

This.
6'4" here and being tall is fun and good except nothing really fits. And if it does fit, it's more expensive, harder to find and your options are limited.
The world is really designed for someone 6"-8" shorter than you.

Also, we don't live as long and all our parts are made of the same material as you shorts, but they have more stress put on them day to day, so they wear out faster. Knees for example.

Also, you hit your head on stuff, like, a lot.

it really makes me hate women when they can't just be honest about how what they really want is a tall guy. i mean im 5'11 which isn't like MEGA short but i've still been shot down so many times for being "small" (not my dick tho heh heh) by girls who I'm still at least a couple inches taller than. i just flip the table and go "CMONN!!" and they dont call me again!
The otherwise terrible movie "the change-up" had one good exchange. Jennifer Aniston is looking for a sperm donor and Jason Bateman asks what the most important quality she's looking for is. She says "his sense of humor" which he calls bullshit on, and she grumbles "ok it's his height." Solid honesty there Jen.

Women aren't upfront the same way most guys won't be upfront about wanting a thin woman. We all know it's the average preference, and having that preference doesn't make you a monster, but voicing it does.

I just wish it was acceptable to admit it's a factor in average sexual attraction period. Every time you point it out there's a dozen ways people try to shoot you down. "Oh it makes dating easier? Well *I'm* 5'10" and *I've* never noticed" and so on. Like, no one is going to kid a girl about her dating life being affected by her weight, why is it so hard to acknowledge that being 5'7" or under adds an increasing handicap when approaching most women?

yeah i agree its pretty similar to weight for women, although men being the horny sex perverts we are, i think a lot of guys will happily look the other way for a pretty girl who is a little overweight much more often than a girl will date a guy slightly shorter than her, or even equal height. i remember some girl once telling me that guys who are equal height always feel like her brother and yeah i can understand that being a nonstarter.

(i dont really hate women it was just a goof)

Maybe, but there's still a large number who will "look the other way" for a guy of equal or slightly shorter height. If there weren't then I wouldn't have had half of my girlfriends.

At 5'8'' I can dart between your legs faster than you can react and rip your gargantuan tallman dick off with my tiny rat claws, claiming its power for my own.

Mercy killing. I'm 5' 6". It's really loving difficult to get laid sometimes as a below average height dude.

At least I got a nice hog, otherwise I'd blow my brains out.

Yeah if you're just looking for casual Tinder/Bar/Club sex as a short dude you're largely SOL unless you've got major charisma and social status on your side. Casual relationships are generally the best you can hope for.
