uh, yeah,where did you get that idea??

I like to kiss/hug/etc people who are around the same height as me

I'm too tall to hug anyone comfortably, I always get a shoulder in my tits or something equally painful. It's a bit depressing.

tall man admin, can you answer my question? i could be interested, but there is nothing i hate more than a nice, good looking clock that is calculating. it makes me very anxious.

a tall man who knows his way around the keys is something to be intrigued by for sure.

the cane elevates this to A++ territory, surely

100% absolutely.

unregistered is that you? you don't look very tall and your world does not look small wtf

я рилли (harbl), Sunday, 22 February 2009 16:28 (fifteen years ago) link

i think the large clock affects your perception of tall.

unregistered, you look v v familiar.

class act, thanks bro (tehresa), Sunday, 22 February 2009 16:44 (fifteen years ago) link

Not meee! It's some random flickr dude who answers to the search terms "clock tourist." If Clock Tourist feels dwarfed or humbled by the size of the clock, then he doesn't show it. He exudes a quite confidence -- "I am tall, I have toured bigger clocks than this, everything is relative." When he gets home, he'll feel taller and prouder for marking off one more clock on his checklist, the way some guys feel more manly after notching their bedposts.

Is he familiar because he looks a bit like a gentler, turn-of-the-millennium Henry Rollins?

blimey (unregistered), Sunday, 22 February 2009 19:28 (fifteen years ago) link

he really does look familiar to me too but i think there are millions of guys who look like him. i wonder why he's using a cane though, at his age. he looks about average height. it's good that he doesn't let his averageness bother him.

я рилли (harbl), Sunday, 22 February 2009 19:37 (fifteen years ago) link

i think he looks like matt dc + someone else.
perhaps he had a clock injury that made it painful to walk.

class act, thanks bro (tehresa), Sunday, 22 February 2009 19:38 (fifteen years ago) link

Ah, so it's an umbrella, apparently. I still say he's at least 5'11", with or without an umbrella to prop himself up. Smartly-dressed 30-something dudes with square jaws and receding hairlines are pretty much all you ever see in certain upscale urban areas, so I can def understand why he reminds you of someone(s).

blimey (unregistered), Sunday, 22 February 2009 19:52 (fifteen years ago) link

are receding hairlines really common in upscale urban areas!? anyway i say you are not tall unless you are above 6'1". he is an average man in an average world

я рилли (harbl), Sunday, 22 February 2009 19:58 (fifteen years ago) link

and he is not a tall man with a large clock

я рилли (harbl), Sunday, 22 February 2009 19:58 (fifteen years ago) link

i feel cheated.

perhaps my anger is unfair. you may also have been duped by this picture of misrepresented proportions. i am sorry.

in most countries the average male height is around 5'8" or 5'9"

thank you max

я рилли (harbl), Sunday, 22 February 2009 20:08 (fifteen years ago) link

I'm just as much of a dupe as you are, and I beg your forgiveness. Tall men with large clocks, are they as rare in this day and age as quality felt hats and old-school chivalry? I wouldn't know a real one if I saw it. Well, Tehresa, I'm afraid we were both born a few generations too late.

I've met both of you quinces and harbl but I won't opine on who is taller ;-)

q is taller iirc

computer champion (harbl), Sunday, 29 March 2015 22:02 (nine years ago) link

though the other day a man who is the same height as me asked if i was 6'1" lol

computer champion (harbl), Sunday, 29 March 2015 22:03 (nine years ago) link

I've shrunk. Degenerative disk. Clocking in just over 5'10'' these days, when I could once claim a solid 5'11''

mom tossed in kimchee (quincie), Sunday, 29 March 2015 22:05 (nine years ago) link

I also feel shorter in general because I used to wear heels a lot at lolcorporatewhore job, now I'm a social worker and basically wear nun shoes.

The worst thing about being tall is having to take a shower in a hotel. They are all designed for people that are 5' 8".

calstars, Monday, 30 March 2015 00:33 (nine years ago) link

i'm 6'8" and wouldn't mind having some of those cards

ciderpress, Monday, 30 March 2015 00:41 (nine years ago) link

I have a friend who's like 6'9" (very skinny type so he looks even taller) and we've had some conversations about that. for a long while he had many complexes and didn't feel comfortable with himself.
but at some point, around his 30s, he got OK with it and even began to have a kind of superiority complex on some aspects.
I remember feeling bad for him many times because the one thing everybody would talk about with him at parties, dinners etc was his height... must be so annoying...
On the other hand, sometimes I think it must be so great to be much taller than most people. when you're standing in a crowded metro, for instance, and you're fine and able to breath above !
still, as a much shorter person, sometimes I wonder how people who are taller or bigger manage with planes seats etc. I find them so small and uncomfortable even for my size...

Was visiting my parents this weekend and realized that the sink in their bathroom is actually set into the wall below my crotch.

In my own house, all of the bathroom mirrors are set up for my wife and son to see themselves, but I have to hunch over to catch a glimpse.

Me too! And I hate that I feel that way but I'm used to being the tall one. It's not even miffed so much as surprised and OK a little miffed. My best friend is almost 5'11" and I feel like a shrimp around her. It's weird with heels because I pretty much always wear flats and if I do have a heel on people always say something. I'd wear heels more often but they hurt my feet!

Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Monday, 30 March 2015 12:02 (nine years ago) link

Once while at my last job I met a man who I'd been working with over email for some time. He sought me out to introduce himself and the first thing he said to me was, "You're tall!" It was so strange because I am sort of but I'm not THAT tall. That said, he was pretty short.

Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Monday, 30 March 2015 12:04 (nine years ago) link

i was talking to one of my jailed clients sitting down and when i got up to leave he said, "you're tall?" in like a surprised way that was cute

computer champion (harbl), Monday, 30 March 2015 23:15 (nine years ago) link

How about being taller than the privacy dividers in the restroom stalls? Head all poking above the partition like a goddamn gopher when you stand up.

Apparently on dating sites it pays to state that you're tall

calstars, Thursday, 9 April 2015 12:30 (nine years ago) link

xpost - I'm not tall enough so that happens in regular sized stalls but one time years ago my friend and I did a bunch of bong hits and wound up in a bathroom that had been designed for kids only we didn't realize that at first and thought it was a bathroom of little people or elves and were in there for like 20 minutes talking over the stalls and kneeling to wash our hands while dying laughing and talking in what we decided elves voices sounded like.
