Title: What do you guys consider to be "short".
Post by: Mussolini on August 15, 2008, 09:53:30 PM
I consider anyone 5'7' and under to be relativley short. 5'8-5'11 normal, and 6'+ to be fairly tall.. anything over 6'4-6'5 most girls find them to be too big, like overmuscled body builders.

Anyone 5'6 and under has a good chance of suffering from napolean syndrom

I'm 5'10" and am slightly below average height.  Tall is good, taller is better.  I don't think women would start getting put off until the guy was 6'8"+.

IMO over 6'3 it starts becoming a problem. It's just the way things are design. Made for average size people. You body isn't made to handle being 7'. You're knees, back, and organs start failing. A lot of 7'+ people die early of heart attacks. :(

anyway, it's in a woman's genes to look at shortness as inferiority in a "man" and to look at that person as an unsuitable mate who won't be able to satisfy them.

It seems like taller people care a lot more about this subject than shorter people. I'm short but it doesn't really affect me on a day to day basis.

I think the taller people are the people on a power trip. I'm just ok with the fact that I am who I am.

Maybe it's just me, but I feel I've had equal opportunities as tall people. The exception is tall women, which to me are just another race of people I'm disinterested in.

B.S. First you'd have to SHOW UP, which you wouldn't. You've already proven that you're a poontang.

But if you'd like to play and put some money on it, I'm down. Let's bet ~$2K. Game to 21, loser takes out. Indoor court, 2 points from the college 3 line, 1 point otherwise. Neutral referree. I'll fly to Missouri to make it happen.
