being short

medium size t-shirts, so hard to find.

i found him pretty intimidating for a while, just because of that. not used to talking to people who are that much taller

It's so weird when this happens because sometimes I don't even realize that's what it is at first.

idk height is weird

And that is my profound conclusion to this discussion.

;p

having a long torso means there are basically no t-shirts for me that don't cause Bill S Preston Esq bare midriff awfulness.

I think my posture is messed up from crouching. I hate looking down on people (literally) during convos.

jordan you gotta be kidding, 90% of sales items are for dudes with 30 inch waists ime, gimme the names of these xxxl bargain stores

If you go to outlet stores for fancy menswear brands basically everything on their shelves is 44/46/48 inch chest and 38+ waist - I once asked if they ever had anything smaller and the guy said "oh no, those sell out instantly".

oh outlet stores, right.

I may be fat but i wear from this season, tyvm

lol

I thought most clothes sold in outlet stores nowadays were either seconds or made especially to be sold there.

It depends on the store.

As for height, I am 5'6". I like short, average, and tall men.

so what's the dividing line between 'short' and 'average' - like I think of the 5'7-5'10 range as some kind of DMZ between the two but would be curious what your ranges would be

Haha, so discriminating!

Dayo that range is average

Like, average in the states is 5'10, worldwide is 5'9

I guess 5'7 would be " short side of average"

i think the spread is 5'9"-5'10" in uk, maybe an inch taller in europe. any shorter/taller than that and you are a freak imo.

the peoples of the former yugoslavia are the tallest in the world iirc

no it is the peoples of wales

whales are not people man, wouldve thought youd know that being a a scientist and all

It's interesting that you say that!

My maternal grandparents were from Yugoslavia and my mom is also 5'10". She said she felt like a complete freak growing up because I think overall ladies were even smaller then. She and my dad went to Yugoslavia as part of there honeymoon and she said that she noticed how tall everyone was and was like, "Yes, my people!".

"their" not "there" honeymoon

i am sure i have linked to this on ilx before, but this is full of fun facts http://www.newyorker.com/archive/2004/04/05/040405fa_fact

goes a long way towards explaining why theyve produced so many good basketball players too xp

whales cant play basketball

I'm the worst height - 5' 11 3/4". How stupid is that.

The only other person I know of at that height is GEORGE WALKER BUSH. We could share the same train car at the county fair.

But I feel for you short dudes. If it makes any difference, I have a hairless chest and no Indian blood to give me an excuse.

I was in the Yucatan for a month, full of those descended from the Mayans, and they're all pretty short. I'm 6' 2" and I didn't see a single person taller than me. I was at a few parties for my GF's family and they pretty much stared at me nonstop. Kids were constantly bugging me. I've never felt like a giant before but it was pretty cool!!

a friend of mine is a 6' redhead who visited ass-nowhere rural china in the late 90s and people treated her like an actual freak. she said it took ages to get down the street because ppl would stop to have their picture taken with her, and she was constantly being asked to come in for food or tea or w/e so ppl could have a braggable experience with the giant ginger weirdo

DUDE

i am that height too!

at the DMV when they asked for my height i put down 6' and then i felt ashamed so i switched to 5'11" and 3/4

ha i mean i switched to 5'11", stupid DMV wont let me put in quarter-inches

I told my wife I was six-feet tall when we were getting to know each other.

Then one day she comes to the doctor's office with me and I GOT BUSTED.

ha, i feel too weird lying about it so i go into tortured explanations about how im five eleven and three quarters

Also kinda hard finding pants with a 33" inseam.

i go with 32"

in high school i auditioned for our production of "the miracle worker," and the director said "okay everybody pair off, in this scene one of you will be helen keller and the other will be annie sullivan." i am 5'9" and i got paired with a teeny 5'2" girl, but for some reason we decided SHE should be annie and i would be helen keller. we got maybe ten seconds into the scene before the director laughed at us outright and made us sit down. i ended up being prop mistress.

I finally figured out that old guys wear their pants up too high because they shrink and refuse to buy shorter inseams.

Maybe I'll go with 32 next time.

Surmounted I personally found the fact that you're 5'11" quite interesting. Not that I'd ever thought about it but I think I assumed you were short!

PP i am 33 inseam and 5'11" and change are we THE SAME

what am i chopped liver

oh yeah u

i already know we r not the same, u r a famous writer

yeah but he's only famous for being triple morbidly obese so

Oh man he's TMO now? Damn, son.

it's sad he wasn't even six feet
