      The only way I could see her finding a boyfriend is a short, very young looking guy under age 25 (age 18-25 but looks maximum 15-16). Otherwise yeah she's going to be a magnet for men w paraphilias.

      They'd probably look more like their dad than that lol.. jokes aside, she deserves whatever type of man she wants. If she wants 6ft and tall she can. She does not have to appease the public with her choice in a lover. If you loved her and cant see past her height, you don't belong her. She does not need to apologize or compromise.

    I feel for her but I get why it would be awkward for a normal guy to date her. First of all most men aren’t attracted to children. If they are attracted to her that is a big red flag. Then if they get to know her and see past the looking like a child issue, imagine the looks and comments they would have to insure by not only strangers but their friends and family too. Poor woman. Hopefully as she gets older and wrinkles things will get better.

    As someone grew up sheltered, I really feel for her. I was desperate to prove I was not as innocent as I looked/seemed, and impatient for romance. There were positive and negative experiences I feel I had to have in order to become less naïve. The most significant ones couldn’t happen until I went to college (lived in dorms and then apartments) and had the chance to gain independence. Not sure of her career goals, but college in a walkable town/neighborhood with public transport could be a great environment for her- no driving needed, and you can easily meet people your age in class.

    • @faolan2174

      I think that's an excellent suggestion. College would give her a chance to socialize with people her age and get to know them before entering a relationship. And roommates and friends can introduce her to people they know are safe, instead of trying to meet strangers on your own whose background you don't know.
      Plus, she seems to want someone who's educated, so a college area would be a great start.

    I’m sorta glad to hear her say “I don’t think online dating is for me.” at the end 😬 cause tbh that sounded like a recipe for disaster. I bet there’s waay more creeps online.

    Oh gosh I feel so bad for her my sister also looks so young and is 4'11. She would get carded everywhere. She finally looks about 27 now that she is in her late 40s. Her husband also looked young when they got married at 18 but he aged normally and now the poor guy has been married to her for 30 years and they still get stared at. I feel so bad for Shauna as she might only attract creeps.

    It's gonna have to come from a friend. So many red flags, anyone who doesn't enter a relationship with her having learned about her and shared platonic interests is definitely going to be setting off alarm bells.
    Get out to local events, join some clubs, do things.
    Less bar dates, less online dates, more "hmm tim I kinda like him, he knows me so well, I wonder if he likes me" dates.

    I hate that all these people keep saying they feel bad for her or they feel sorry for her or they pity her I don’t pity her I think she’s a strong woman and I think she’s a very brave person for being able to deal with these situations in a calm manner without freaking out on people all the time that takes a lot of patience to still be a nice person when people treat you that way and I respect her for that

    This applies to everybody: Dating sites are unrealistic, because it necessarily turns into an interview/audition for a relationship. Also, the paid ones are invested in a person staying on the site for a long time, going through serial failures.
    Instead, look for groups in which people of all ages get together for common interests. Meetup is most well-known. Karaoke, books, religion, politics, food, wine, art, science, entertainment genres, etc. That way, there is no expectation of intimacy. Instead, you're enjoying common interests. If anything develops one-on-one, it's more natural -- because there is already something to share.

    I have congenital hypopituitarism. I stopped growing at 5 and started growth hormone shots at 8. I was 4 years behind my peers by the time I started heading upwards. I’m now 5’8 and so grateful, but I could have easily been the size of a young child. I grew so fast that I have knee and a few other problems that I’ll forever deal with.

    I feel bad for Shauna. It appears as though people still treat her differently from other adults. She seems to be having some inner personal struggles when it comes to finding someone to enjoy her time with. Hopefully online dating will help her as a connection can be formed before her height comes into the picture and Shauna having doubts about why the guy likes her.
