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

maybe this should be in the ask treesh thread but why do u think u 'feel' tall if u 'know' you are of average height? is there ideology involved?

i'm the same height and feel v. average. walking to the subway there was this group of cologned football coach looking dudes who were all really tall; made me feel short and also wonder if they choose their friends according to height. all of them must've been around 6'2"

clouds, Monday, 8 September 2014 00:43 (nine years ago) link

that's around my height. that or an inch taller

I'm avg but stand hunched cos of having an enormous head I reckon

Nakh, it has to do with the fact that if you take women into account, 5'10" is taller than like 70% of people. If you take children and the elderly, the number jumps even higher. Also I'm the tallest person in my immediate family by a significant margin

Treeship, Monday, 8 September 2014 03:02 (nine years ago) link

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.

But you're an adorable 5'5"! we were a modern day Mutt & Jeff as we walked around NYC.

I had forks to keep me company in the lower strata.

Rand McNulty (Jon Lewis), Monday, 8 September 2014 14:50 (nine years ago) link

And I'm just a big dude, no matter how you define it.

EZ Snappin, Monday, 8 September 2014 14:53 (nine years ago) link

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.

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.

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.

'height supremacist'

Yes, due strictly to his height, that's the reason...

(with a full beard that distinguishes his adulthood)

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

marcos, Friday, 3 March 2017 16:28 (seven years ago) link

it is hard finding shirts though, the sleeves are almost always too long

marcos, Friday, 3 March 2017 16:35 (seven years ago) link

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?

Girl with Curious Hair, Thursday, 9 March 2017 16:14 (seven years ago) link

looks like it. the waistcoat is the real problem imo

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

ogmor, Thursday, 9 March 2017 17:02 (seven years ago) link

the enormous dress shirt bunching underneath the tiny waistcoat armholes

Treeship, Thursday, 9 March 2017 17:04 (seven years ago) link

I was going to make a joke about how nobody used to do their tie up properly in school, but then I decided to be the bigger person O WAIT I ALREADY WAS LOL
