My driver's license says 5'6, but i think i'm actually closer to 5'5.

I feel like I get called "buddy" more than your average guy because of my size. It strikes me as vaguely condescending.

I have to sit on a textbook in order to sit at this desk and use the computer comfortably. Wish I had another one tbh.

lol at plains and max agonizing about being 5'11 & 3/4

feel that this is a shibboleth and that there are no 5'11 & 3/4 republicans

Nilmar Honorato da Silva, Tuesday, 11 December 2012 16:39 (thirteen years ago)

so either assume george w bush was not a true republican or that in anticipation that his presidential medical would falsify any exageration, elected for honesty

Nilmar Honorato da Silva, Tuesday, 11 December 2012 16:42 (thirteen years ago)

5'9" and have definitely thought many times that my life would be objectively better if a few inches taller. But you have to shoot the bullets you have in life. Waste of time to obsess on things you can't change.

When all else fails, make a booster chair out of books or pillows.

At an open mic the other night, I had to pull my barstool out to practically the middle of the floor to see past the heads of all the tall people at the bar. Oh, did I say tall people? I meant to say tall ladies. I was told 5'7" was average dude height but I'm not sure I buy it.

Careful, that means the shiv is closer to your entrails.

damn this thread got heated, short people going at each others necks, we need to stick together

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 12 December 2012 01:57 (thirteen years ago)

i don't feel this insecurity anymore btw... all my friends in chicago are my height for w/e reason

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 12 December 2012 02:00 (thirteen years ago)

I'm 5'7 but don't mind I just buy boots with thick soles

乒乓, Wednesday, 12 December 2012 02:01 (thirteen years ago)

i actually have no memory of what the source of this was last summer

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 12 December 2012 02:03 (thirteen years ago)

Jord I'm not your friend but I'm considerably shorter than you are AND I'm in Chicago. Even your extended posse is short.

passion it person (La Lechera), Wednesday, 12 December 2012 02:16 (thirteen years ago)

I'm taller. We can never meet.

Of course, the neck is the most logical place to go at, if you're a head shorter than the other guy

drunk 'n' white's elements of style (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 12 December 2012 02:19 (thirteen years ago)

I think I was about 5'5" until my junior/senior year of high school, and some part of my brain still expects me to be shorter than most people. So, I feel you, people who are shorter.

buzza, Saturday, 22 December 2012 02:57 (thirteen years ago)

javier bardem has the head of a 6'4" man tho

mookieproof, Saturday, 22 December 2012 02:57 (thirteen years ago)

Jergins was a little taller

buzza, Saturday, 22 December 2012 02:58 (thirteen years ago)

the female ilxors I have met were shorter but not unusually so

buzza, Saturday, 22 December 2012 03:00 (thirteen years ago)

mookieproof, Saturday, 22 December 2012 03:01 (thirteen years ago)

They were wrong

buzza, Saturday, 22 December 2012 03:03 (thirteen years ago)

mookieproof, Saturday, 22 December 2012 03:06 (thirteen years ago)

buzza, Saturday, 22 December 2012 03:10 (thirteen years ago)

What, isn't tom cruise supposed to be like 5"3?

formerly EDB (ed.b), Saturday, 22 December 2012 03:12 (thirteen years ago)

people who play in sandboxes tend to be very short, not sure their perspective is best

k3vin k., Saturday, 22 December 2012 03:13 (thirteen years ago)

yeah same here, i was 5'3" at the end of my sophomore year and came back junior year like 5'7". i'm 6'-6'1" now and still think everyone is taller than me even though in reality i'm at least a few inches over most of them.

arby's, Saturday, 22 December 2012 03:20 (thirteen years ago)

I would have guessed Bardem near 6 even!

mh, Saturday, 22 December 2012 04:15 (thirteen years ago)

Bards is reported at 5'11" or 6 ft lots of places online. Not gonna lie tbh, being 6ft tall is pretty f'in cool.

LIKE If you are against racism (omar little), Saturday, 22 December 2012 04:24 (thirteen years ago)

eh, I could lie up to 5'11" if I was standing up real straight

mh, Saturday, 22 December 2012 05:18 (thirteen years ago)

I'm 5'11". It's a pretty sweet height tbh

fiscal cliff huxtable (latebloomer), Saturday, 22 December 2012 09:08 (thirteen years ago)

6' to 6'2" seems fairly ideal to me. trust me, anything above that and life becomes needlessly complicated.

Hey, poor people, in case you were wondering, having a million dollars is pretty sweet. You're welcome.

Alien Lays (Old Lunch), Saturday, 22 December 2012 15:53 (thirteen years ago)

I'm 5'11" but by brother is 6'4"-6'5" so everyone thinks I'm quite short. Everyone I've met from the Netherlands is at least 7 feet tall.

toy_sleigher (Sufjan Grafton), Saturday, 22 December 2012 16:44 (thirteen years ago)

I'm comfortable enough being able to hide stuff in the top cabinet while also being able to go up in the McDonalds Playland with my kid when no one else is around.

Dad's 5'7". Mom's barely 5'0". I can't complain about being 182.245 cm tall.

(Even in metric, my height is stupid.)
