But you can be real fast and sneaky!

y'all's swag is much taller, all of u

yeah i am fast and sneaky, or i used to be fast and now i am 35

im still growing tho

can't believe how short jordan is tho

I'm going to concentrate really hard so I can have a early 30s growth spurt.

im not short or tall, im basically average, just so you guys know

my uncles are 6'8" and 6'10" and my grandmother was 6'1"

let me know if you want to know more about my family and its heights

6'10 is really tall

like im not sure ive met someone that tall

6'8 ive met for sure

u live in new york iirc!

yeah the one who is 6'10" has to basically sleep sitting up. he played basketball w/ bill bradley at princeton

niiice, to the bradley part not sleeping sitting up

Relieved max isn't a freak

My father is 5'3". I'm 6'. Dodged a bullet there. Thanks genetics.

*bullet*

Itt everyone disses hoos

I'm 6'2 but I make up for it by having no other alpha characteristics of note / sucking at basketball + having to justify my sucking

rly good at fouling people on accident tho

also I will own you at soccer (unless you are a foreigner)

i are a foreigner, you will probably own me at football anyway.

being tallish doesn't help me there. plus i slouch so no-one actually thinks i am as tall as i am.

i'm 5'5". hoos and ice cr?m = keeping pretty great company imo.

I am the tallest person in my family

i rarely notice how tall people are unless they are ridiculously tall or a guy my height or less. my last bf was 6'3" and i only ever noticed the height diff when i looked at a photo of us side by side and though omg we look ridiculous together. or adorable, of course. sometimes i thought that.

i'm 5'2" and it rules except when my neck hurts from craning it to talk to giants or i can't communicate with ppl because i can't hear them from way down here

i feel like being tall is a bigger body issue for the ladies

yeah it doesn't bother me at all except sometimes i feel like ppl don't take me seriously. that's probably my fault on a number of levels though.

maybe it would help if i didn't wear a clown suit all the time

i feel like being tall is a bigger body issue for the ladies

i have dated tall ladies and very small ladies and yes :(

xp Or if you stopped communicating your important ideas by honking a bicycle horn.

I figured that would be standard procedure when u work at the circus?

well sure it's just that honk blurp AOOOOGA AOOOOOOOOOGA people have a hard time taking me seriously
i dunno

J0rdan I have met you before iirc, and the thought that you were short never even crossed my mind. i don't think you've got anything to worry about.

and for people that really are noticeably short, it's nothing to feel bad about anyway. People that let someone else's height affect the way they treat them are irredeemable assholes. (i guess i'm pretty bullish on this point because i was the shortest kid in school until 10th grade and had to come to terms with it)

I love short people even though I sometimes feel like a clumsy Godzilla around them.

oh i always imagined you wee, abbbottt.

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

yeah me too. i had some roommates in college who were v petite and tiny and could be really girly at times, and i felt so awkward by comparison. took me many years to be able to get dressed up on occasion/wear heels/makeup without feeling like a ridiculous fool

I thought I was 5'9" for years but I recently learned that a more accurate measurement of my height is 5'7". It kind of fucked with me!

My best guy friend in high school was 5'3" (or maybe shorter?) and I was always doing things like
- throw a ball and it bounces the wrong way and hits his portable CD player and breaks it
- go rollerskating together and fall on top of him, knocking over him
- trip on some stairs at his house and knock over his even smaller mom
- other clumsy Godzilla things

I am really short and often find it hard to follow conversations and thought I was just developing hearing problems, thank u thread

though, my hearing is deteriorating too (if I switch ears when I'm on the phone the difference in sound timbre is jarring), and I've always found it difficult to follow people over background noise or other people talking, so shortness may not be much of an excuse in my case

in the michael lewis book the big short theres a guy who thinks all his social problems stem from the fact that he has a glass eye, until he realizes that hes autistic

One of many clumsy (6') Godzilla stories:
I was walking down the street with a friend. We were talking and I was so engrossed in the conversation that I wasn't looking where I was going. Two other guys doing exactly the same thing (talking/not looking where they were going) were coming straight towards us. Without realising what had happened, I collided with one of the other guys and sent him flying back onto the pavement. I looked around at him, I'm confused all "what happen?!", and he's "whoa dude! nooooo! don't hit me!" like he thought I was going to beat him up, but I'm "er, sorry man, apologies and all that, I wasn't looking where I was going".

I thought I was 5'9" for years but I recently learned that a more accurate measurement of my height is 5'7". It kind of fucked with me!

height is fluid, you probably were 5'9 at some point and could be again ლ(ಠ益ಠლ
