Title: Do short guys?...
Post by: Captain Equipoise on March 05, 2009, 11:27:10 AM
hate being short ? , I'm talking guys under 5"10... do they wish they were taller? are they embarassed that sometimes girls tower over them or are at their height level?   personally I'm 6"0-6"1  I wouldn't want to be any taller, even if I could magically gain 3-4" I wouldn't want it. How do you guys feel ?

5' 9". I carry it well so I've never had a problem with it even though most of my friends are all above 6 feet so it's almost like umpa loompas following Willie Wonka around......

keep in mind that the average height for a male in America is between 5' 8-9".

I'm 5'5, do I wish I was as taller, yeah, like 5'7-5'8. like my "lil" bro. But I never hated being short. And I have dated women from 5'0-5'11, and they chose me. Am I embarassed, hell no? Why should I be.  I'm just a cool, easy going person. I like people, and it shows.

I don't why many the fellows on here obsess over your flaws, fault, whether they be imaginary or real. If you focus on that, then people can tell.  

Furthermore, as a female friend was telling me yesterday, With women something has to click between the guy and woman, you can't force it. If chick is not feeling you, she's not feeling you, regardless of your height, good looks, etc.

Nope.   Being black is working out great!  People expect the worst and get the best.
Thanks for asking ;D

How's that shortness working out for ya? ;D

I'm a tll Paul Bunion like physique,
When in shape, kind of like The Rock
now, but not as big, Long Limbs, with
decent size.

I find this to sometimes be a disadvantage
because people think I have "Crazy Eyes" as
well, and they think I'll show up at work with an Uzi,
and are generally scared.

I don't wish to be any shorter, but
I wish people were not so intimidated
by me sometimes.

Look at some of the short guys who have perfectly symmetrical physiques, if they were only 2 inches taller they would be top 3 in the O

short people hate being short...don't let them fool you.  If you don't believe me, next time you're next to a short guy at work or something stand up real straight and right next to him when you are talking to him.  Make sure it's obvious you need to look down to look him in the eyes....it drives them insane....even better if you're wife is taller than said short people...

lol and they say the short guys are the ones trying to prove how tough they are

i'm 5'10, i don't see the point in being taller than 6'1 unless you play basketball

cars, beds, etc were built for average sized people

I'm fine being 5'8". If I were larger I'd have to eat a lot more, buy new clothes, etc. 5'8" isn't a bad height. I'd be embarrassed if I were any shorter though.

i'm 6"1 and i wish i was 6"6 or even taller. being muscular and tall is a deadly and rare combo. something like noah steere!

i'm also surprised that most of you guys are less than 6feet. seems like it's true that the majority of bodybuilders are short, but it obviously makes sense  ;D

Being 5'11 I am about 6 foot with normal dress shoes on....so I guess in reality I am pretty average hight.  I dont think that 5'9 is short and I don't think that 6 foot is tall. Imo, average is 5'9 - 6'1 in the states.
