Over the past few years, I've been on a rocky but worthwhile Christian walk as I've strived to be more like Christ in everything I do. I've gotten my anger issues under control, I haven't cussed pretty much since I was born again over the summer of 2010, I've decided to never take harmful drugs and to wait until marriage to lose my virginity, I treat girls with respect and dignity now (while I used to be the typical teenage guy who only thought of girls as "eye candy"/"pieces of meat"), and I've tried to have a better attitude on life and toward those around me. However, so many things keep making me wonder about what am I doing, or what is my purpose.
As my jr prom approaches, I've realized just how bad I have it with girls. It seems that God has created me with so many things going against me.
1. I'm extremely short (5'3"-5'4")
2. I've got poor social skills (mainly due to SA aka social anxiety)
3. I'm scrawny (and because of my height, I can't really gain weight without looking like a mini Ahnuld lol)
4. I'm a deep thinker (girls don't really appreciate that - regardless of their faith)
5. Below-average looks (I honestly don't think I've ever had a girl geuninely be attracted to me)
6. People's perception of me (my faith makes people think I've always been a good-natured guy which is NOT THE CASE! - I've come a long way since then)
7. My lack of self-confidence due to all of the above
And God made me with all of these features, and my question is- Why? Why would He set me up to fail with girls, and possibly in life? Short guys are treated as less than men by girls, and they get ZERO respect from pretty much everyone. I get treated like a weakling or a little kid all of the time (when most tall guys aren't that tough at all!). Add in my lack of charisma and my less-than-stellar appearance... I have no chance with a girl the way I am.
Can someone give me valid reasons why God making me small, socially awkward, quiet, and mediocre-looking can help society or further His plan? (Like 3-5 good reasons)
I just am frustrated that God knows the way women work, yet He put me at a disadvantage with them, and has seemingly stacked the odds against me. I want to find hope, and maybe change my situation, because I don't think I can be like Apostle Paul where I don't even pay attention to the opposite sex. Please, I'm simply looking for guidance in a tough situation.
If you can help, it would be much appreciated
