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

jeff, Saturday, 18 June 2011 03:56 (twelve years ago) link

I would like to be 3 to 6 inches taller.

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

buzza, Saturday, 18 June 2011 04:27 (twelve years ago) link

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

arachno-misogynist (D-40), Saturday, 18 June 2011 04:27 (twelve years ago) link

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

jeff, Saturday, 18 June 2011 05:39 (twelve years ago) link

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

naus, Saturday, 18 June 2011 06:07 (twelve years ago) link

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.)

Christine Green Leafy Dragon Indigo, Saturday, 18 June 2011 06:21 (twelve years ago) link

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.

Clay, Saturday, 18 June 2011 06:55 (twelve years ago) link

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.

Bloompsday (Trayce), Saturday, 18 June 2011 11:01 (twelve years ago) link

5'4 is average height for a woman fyi

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.

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.

Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Monday, 8 September 2014 15:00 (nine years ago) link

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

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

monoprix à dimanche (dog latin), Monday, 8 September 2014 15:01 (nine years ago) link

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.

Rand McNulty (Jon Lewis), Monday, 8 September 2014 20:06 (nine years ago) link

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.

Shugazi (Branwell with an N), Monday, 8 September 2014 20:11 (nine years ago) link

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.

mom tossed in kimchee (quincie), Monday, 8 September 2014 20:30 (nine years ago) link

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.

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?

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

Treeship, Thursday, 9 March 2017 16:52 (seven years ago) link

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