A Point of View: Why short men make better husbands - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Aman;46160071]Same here but this is coming from a giant at 6'6". People think they'll offend me if they ask me how tall I am or say "do you play basketball?" but its been asked [I]so[/I] many times it's just an automatic response, doesn't bother me. Better than being 5'6" that's for damn sure.[/QUOTE] Tell me bout it, 6"6 tall bear here. That same stupid question, over and over and over again. Also being a bear doesn't work out because when others see me for the very first time they're always scared, I swear others always think i'm evil or something, or dumb, because being a giant equals that you're dumb.

All this heightism is making me sick

5'7 at 20 years and proud of it.

I honestly wish I was shorter. It's hard to convey the kind of person you want to be when your height contradicts it.

[QUOTE=Firewarrior;46163269]What's it with Americans and their obsession with height? Funny thing is, on average, they are "short" compared to the average of many European countries[/QUOTE] I guess that's why they're obsessing about it?

I was once attacked by a short adorable woman because being 6"2 I apparently havean easier time bullying people. Short people fascinate me.

I'm happy being 5'6" for the rest of my life. My girlfriend is 4'11", so she has to bury her face in my chest every time she hugs me.

[QUOTE=mdeceiver79;46162995]Most short guys I know are super obnoxious, self centred and gym obsessed.[/QUOTE] To be fair a lot of that is because many of them feel they have to otherwise they won't be taken seriously and will get walked all over.

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;46164281]To be fair a lot of that is because many of them feel they have to otherwise they won't be taken seriously and will get walked all over.[/QUOTE] This is true though, I'm 5'6 and everyone I know is 6'+ where I live. Do I ever get taken seriously? no. And it's fucking annoying, but oh well, nothing I can do about it. I just go to gym and get given shit about doing that because "lol short guy must be insecure" It's lose-lose, I've stopped giving a shit, but I can see how it can get some guys down.

[QUOTE=InvaderNouga;46163253]Imagine referring to getting laid as "mating and reproductive tactics" and not sounding autistic.[/QUOTE] Different terms for different contexts? It'd be weird to say "getting laid" when talking about evolutionary biology.

[QUOTE=Sableye;46161099]fuck that term, there's no such thing as a manlet[/QUOTE] sounds like something a manlet would say

6'0 master race, though I wish I was like 6'2 but no more then that.

[QUOTE=mdeceiver79;46162995]Most short guys I know are super obnoxious, self centred and gym obsessed.[/QUOTE] I'm 5'7 and I've never been in a gym in my life. Fucking hate being this short though because most other guys around here are minimum 5'10 and most girls are the same height as me if not taller.

I'm 161cm but I'm nice :c Darn all your feet and inches.

Makes sense, I walk around all day with my head in the clouds, can't focus on short man things like commitment and responsibility.

I still wonder why people make such a fuzz about height. I'm 6,5 and whenever someone makes a remark about it, I give em a high-five. They just can't reach that far. :(

I'm 5,9. My gf is 5,0. She's fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine

That's another tall guy advantage: The gym is purely optional. If you wanna become a hulk, you can go for it and pump loads of iron every day, or you can just hang out and be a tall soft guy. Either way people respect you more just because you're tall. But yeah, height really doesn't matter much at all, at least to me. That could also be a tall guy thing though

[QUOTE=InvaderNouga;46163253]Imagine referring to getting laid as "mating and reproductive tactics" and not sounding autistic.[/QUOTE] Imagine talking about the reproductive behaviors of chimpanzees or birds and referring to it as them 'getting laid' and not sounding like an idiot. There's a time and a place for both terms, learn them. People get so bent out of shape for no reason the moment you start talking about humans non-objectively like just another species of animal, or comparing humans to another species.

I'm the same height as hitler

My faith in humanity is lost. Wait someone saved a puppy? ITS BACK. We're fucking animals, we are in that tree and the sooner we drop this handstand act of trying to be above animals the better, our ideals that we're above animals has lead us to having moral standards that damage the environment because we'll use it better than animals! Because we're better than animals, RIGHT GUYS? Guys? ....guys?

Whether we consider ourselves above animals or not doesn't really matter, in the end it's a question of who is most adaptable, and you could argue that being able to turn the table on the environment is a sign of adaptability indeed. Now then we don't exactly have much control on how we impact the environment to this day, but if we were able to alter it to best fit our needs, it would be a great advantage.
