being short

i'm not super short or anything but i'm still short idk, recently i've started to find myself feeling inadequate for having to look up to ppl sometimes to talk

i wish i was like 2-3 inches taller but i can live with being 5-10

i wish i was 2-3 inches taller so i was 5-10

5'8 isn't that bad

There is a lady at my work who is probably not even 5 feet. She wears big shoes and is still so little. I feel weird whenever we talk standing up. It's awkward. 90% of the time I am happy not to be short but sometimes, esp after hanging with little ladies, I feel gigantic and wish I were small. Only sometimes tho.

Yeah Jordan that's not that short!

I could do with being 3 inches shorter or taller

i know i said i wasn't that short!!1 i'm just saying

that 1 was unintentional

sorry i'm going thru my first bout of body insecurity, it's a weird time for me!! i've come to 1p3

also would rather be a short gay guy than a short straight guy cause at least you can be someone's 'type'

5'4 straight guys have it pretty bad

yeah that's how i excuse myself from doing zero minutes of exercise a week xp

they have to be really charming!

<3 short guys so qed I guess

Aw J it's ok man, we're here for u.

And yeah I was thinking that being a short gay dude is prob easier than being a short straight one.

being short & super skinny was cool when i was younger but now i feel weird about it -- not in a huge way but it nags at me a bit

at what height difference do you all feel shortness

I used to have a friend who happened to look a lot like me but was about half a foot taller, it was very unnerving, I mean not at the time, but now that I think about it, it must have been

i didn't know you were short, j0rdan, but i feel v close to you rn. i hate it tbh.

i guess i'm a girl so it's not as fraught but it still sucks

Short people -- do you sometimes have trouble hearing tall people when they speak????

I would like to be 3 to 6 inches taller.

as a tall person, i sometimes have trouble hearing short people when they speak. but WHO CARES, THEY'RE JUST SHORT PPL AHAHA i think my hearing increasingly sux

how tall r u

he is giant iirc

6'4" and shrinking fast alas

Feelin u / can't hear no shorties.

betwixt 6' & 6'2" is the best for a dude

Dawg how dare you talk this shit when jj barea is wearing a championship ring

for gals i would say 5'5" - 5'7"

I'm 5'9 which is supposed to be average but all of my friends are taller than me :O

short ppl -- every time you see a taller person, are you consciously thinking about how they are taller than you?

I don't. But I'm 5' 7" and don't think I could ever date a girl taller than 5' 4" or so.

I'm 5'6", and I have the legs of someone a foot shorter. (There's bigger problems there than just aesthetic--I have to crawl down a number of things that I should be able to step down from.)

i'm 5'8" but my posture is such crap people take me for like 5'4" which it's kinda shitty for a short person to be thought of as much shorter than they are! like c'mon guys, i made it all the way to 5'8", give me the credit jeez.

I'm 5'4 and I love it, I a happy being a shorty. Have 6'6 flatmate so he can fix all the lights and whatnot. Last bf was about 5'5 so it was adorbs being face to face standing up for kissin.

5'4 is average height for a woman fyi

i researched and deej is actually correct on this one for many countries!

hey jordan fucking get over it

:o

hoos is 5'3

i'm over it, but i used to only want to date girls that were 5'0-5'4

v narrow pool

lol

good post by gbx

jj barea that shit

damn, there's like 50,000k posts a month of ppl being insufferable saddos & i catch shit for whining about being short! what a world

thats because a lot of the time ppl are being sad about stuff that is actually important

well i guess that's debatable

I am beginning to suspect, due to my recent few years' worth of crushes, that I might actually have a preference for short dudes.

you've crushed on Peter Dinklage?

who hasnt

From my observations during my time as a corporate whore, I have concluded that women in senior corporate management are disproportionately:

--super tall
--super smart
--super mean

or some combination thereof. I must have gotten by on just the first. Getting shorter, though--last measurement clocked in at 5'10'', so I don't think I can get away with saying I am "just under 6 feet" anymore.

I'm 5'6 like Cindy Crawford I think that's sexy

sounds legit

A couple of months ago, I was at a party with the current Object Of My Obsessions, and although I studiously avoided him all evening, I found I had to walk past him to leave. So of course, as I did, I kinda checked him out a bit. And as I was creepily studying him, I was thinking to myself "y'know, he's not as short as I was lead to believe; his head is nearly level with mine." Then I almost tripped over something, looked down and realised he was standing on a step above me.

Still almost unspeakably hott, though.

(I guess, as if being short isn't bad enough, you have to be subject to Branwell's unspeakable lusts. I am so, so sorry to make this worse for you, attractive short dudes of the Earth.)

i am huge

me too

I'm 5'10 1/2" and feel "tall" usually, even though I know this is average.

Damn, all the guys itt bemoaning their shortness who are like 5'7" and up!

I'm 5'5" motherfuckers, behold.

i have a thing for short squat dudes, v tall people kinda freak me out

maybe this should be in the ask treesh thread but why do u think u 'feel' tall if u 'know' you are of average height? is there ideology involved?

white

i'm the same height and feel v. average. walking to the subway there was this group of cologned football coach looking dudes who were all really tall; made me feel short and also wonder if they choose their friends according to height. all of them must've been around 6'2"

that's around my height. that or an inch taller

I'm avg but stand hunched cos of having an enormous head I reckon

Nakh, it has to do with the fact that if you take women into account, 5'10" is taller than like 70% of people. If you take children and the elderly, the number jumps even higher. Also I'm the tallest person in my immediate family by a significant margin

alright. that makes sense. introducing children into the equation really shifts the whole conceptual paradigm in a way i didn't anticipate. still think there might be ideology involved somewhere though.

But you're an adorable 5'5"! we were a modern day Mutt & Jeff as we walked around NYC.

I had forks to keep me company in the lower strata.

And I'm just a big dude, no matter how you define it.

Markers is tall and I always forget that. I think every time we've met I've been surprised and asked how tall he is again.

Same height, but I rarely feel like a particularly tall person. This is probably half down to proportions and half down to terrible posture.

i went to the store today and the fancy soda i wanted and went specifically to this store to get was on the top shelf so far up that i couldn't have reached it even if i jumped. and jumping/grabbing the soda was not an option. there was nowhere to climb either. i was standing there staring at it wondering what to do when a tall person walked around the corner into the aisle and i asked for help.

this is what being a short person is like
it wasn't a big deal, but i did need to go out of my way to ask for help

Otm. On the other hand, our shoes are not feats of engineering the size of boats, and that's nice.

Haha, aaawww, LL. I am the kind of person that people always ask for help reaching stuff in the supermarket. (And, OK, yes, I usually volunteer if I see little old ladies staring in a pining manner at tins on the top shelf.)

I occasionally hang out with these two Scottish girls who are both about 6'. It makes me feel short, which is kind of funny.

I love it when people ask for my help reaching stuff! It is nice for one's height to be useful rather than just a pain of the ass when shopping for pants.

i love it too. i was in the law library the other day and the librarian was helping me with a question and she was like "but i need you to get that for me" and i felt so heroic.

'height supremacist'

like you ain't

Yes, due strictly to his height, that's the reason...

(with a full beard that distinguishes his adulthood)

im 5'7", pretty skinny, i used to not like being short and i wouldn't mind being a little taller but overall im pretty happy w/ my size

it is hard finding shirts though, the sleeves are almost always too long

Is that a MAGA cap he's wearing? Asking for a friend.

And I'm 5ft 9, does that qualify me as a perfidious female height supremacist?

looks like it. the waistcoat is the real problem imo

https://i.reddituploads.com/f74a1507b4014cd8ad936e44f6e677ba?fit=max&h=1536&w=1536&s=c353cbb931d23995585ee44071231100

the problem with this man is that garishly wide tie with the full windsor knot

big tie knots are indicative of barbaric temperament, it's true. top button undone... it's rich in abominable details

the enormous dress shirt bunching underneath the tiny waistcoat armholes

I was going to make a joke about how nobody used to do their tie up properly in school, but then I decided to be the bigger person O WAIT I ALREADY WAS LOL
