Now if only I weren't a skinny bicycle dork! [editline]3rd May 2012[/editline] Oughta muscularize myself at the pec-factory. [editline]3rd May 2012[/editline] *gym
5' 4" Short.
I'm attracted to very short women. Recently, I saw a man my height hug a girl of around the same height I like, and I thought, "[I]That looks kind of hilarious.[/I]" So I guess the joke's on me, because I must look very silly when hugging short chicks. Another side effect of the height discrepancy in hugging-etiquette is that all hugs are exaggerated. A casual, just-upper-body hug makes me have to bend all the way over; a sweeter hug has the other party wrapping her arms around my stomach; and a big ole' fun hug, arms over the shoulders, leaves the lady's feet dangling by my knees. For these reasons, I sometimes think it'd be cooler to be short, if only for more comfortable hugging purposes. In summary: being short ain't so bad, OvB! [editline]3rd May 2012[/editline] And besides, you're going to live at sea on a houseboat. Houseboats are probably very uncomfortable for tall people. [editline]3rd May 2012[/editline] Also, you never have to squat to get to low water fountains. My college has nothing but low waterfountains, and I sometimes feel like I should stretch out first before trying to drink from them. Do a few minutes of power yoga, or something. [editline]4th May 2012[/editline] [I]AND[/I] you have a much bigger variety of cars that you can comfortably drive! "Leg room" is first in my priority list when shopping for new rides. [editline]4th May 2012[/editline] Face it, it's a short person's world.
I'm 6'4" and my girlfriend is 5'2". :v:
Oh yeah, and those desks they have at schools, where the table bit and the chair bit are connected together? Totally impossible. You've either got to sit sideways or find a way to shrink your femurs.\ And airplanes! Don't get me started about airplanes!
me and my girlfriend are both 5'10" we are equal in all ways
[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;35818589]I'm 6'4" and my girlfriend is 5'2". :v:[/QUOTE] When people tell you that you're tall, wink and tell them that you're wearing stilts. Maybe give 'em a conspiratorial slug on the shoulder, too. Like it's your little secret.
Average height is best height, you don't have any of the problems that short/tall people have
I'm 6'7 and my roommate is 6'9 fucking basketball
One of the problems with being short is the social stigma that the guy should be taller than the lady in relationships. Height is certainly a limiting factor when on the search for potential future mates. It's not really that big of a deal, there's just something awkward about it! You are right though BDA, we do fit nicely in tight spaces. I've never had trouble on planes or with legroom in general! [editline]4th May 2012[/editline] And when we're younger getting on rides is damn hard!
[QUOTE=OvB;35818926]future mates[/QUOTE] heh
Jesus the average height in this thread is like ten feet tall [editline]4th May 2012[/editline] On that note I'm 6'2, but I'd rather be 6'1 or just 6 even I'm almost always noticeably the tallest person around even though I don't FEEL that tall Plus flying becomes doubly bad for every inch you go past like 5'11
i'm completely agreeing with ashley here, and i'm 5'2" and i love tall guys - something about automatically feeling protected an' all that. hugs don't have to be a problem either. i'm fine with knowing i'll nearly always have to be on my tip toes to properly hug most people. then there are people that i'm close enough with that you can just jump up and do a little monkey hug :v:
i wanna be a princess :(

You limit yourself and I will not allow for such excuses to be fed to the audience of this thread. Biologically speaking, yes, it might lessen your chances, but it is most definitely not a limiting factor.
It slightly lowers your chances of people looking at you and thinking love at first sight but other then that it really shouldn't effect anything.
I'm 6'8" according to this cm to feet calculator. 205cm. every time I meet someone or catch up with someone I haven't seen in 6 months plus, the first thing they comment on is my height.

Being the tallest person in school including teachers is cool i guess.

5'11 - Social Height Thread
[QUOTE=Seith;35820240]5'11 - Social Height Thread[/QUOTE] Best height. High five.
May Ball tonight gonna get drunk with my friends yay
All this talk in feet is confusing :v: why not use meters and centimeters like everyone else?
I hate being 5'10 but I've learned to deal. I just hate that almost every girl I've been attracted to and gotten anywhere with has had "it would be sexy if you were taller" go through their heads atleast once. And I can't help it.
5'10" ain't bad, unless you're like me and prefer tall girls. In which case it's significantly more difficult to get anywhere.
[QUOTE=junker|154;35821696]All this talk in feet is confusing :v: why not use meters and centimeters like everyone else?[/QUOTE] Because most of us are smelly americans that don't use centimeters.
Afaik most countries still use feet to denote height I much prefer it in that context at least
I'm 5'8, so I'm a tiny little man.
