height

[robgmun]

+1 for a poll. I'm 5'11" and like being tall. Actually it's 11.5", so i'm 1cm away from 6ft, a bit fustrating that i can't call myself 6ft

5'11" here. This is a good height to be.

5'4" with shoes on here ... fun times

Personally I'd say 5'11" is a great height to be. 6'3"ish seems a little bit on the tall side.

Either way, being small is definitely no laughing matter, and it's hard to just 'get over it'. Especially when people in general look down at you for being small (don't deny it, it's a prevalent as any other discrimination. Society has made it so taller = better. Any for small men, that's a giant PITA for your daily life.) and when it can deny you career opportunities, ect. it sucks.

I was once smaller than everyone throughout my school years and it really did suck.

Do you tall people ever knock over/walk into little kids by accident when you're out and about? I'm not THAT tall but I remember I once walked into a kid because I couldn't see them, the mother of the child gave me evils

I'm often the shortest in my basketball games. Doesn't stop me loving it. It's more my incompetence that gets in the way rather than my height

But yeah... Does get frustrating at times

OP is a manlet.

Must be awful for you. I heard of one guy who just couldn't take being short anymore, so he killed himself. He jumped off a curb.

Wear some decent shoes/boots, and make sure whatever clothes you wear fit you properly and don't emphasise your shortness.

Kinda hard when you need to shop in the kids section tho

Not 6'3". Was measured at the doctors today. Typical me overestimating my height lol. I'm 190cm barefoot.

I'm 5ft5 was never bullied or bothered about my height. Never caused a problem for me.

I dated many birds who were taller than me and they didn't care either.

Albatrosses's are notoriously unpicky it would seem.

I prefer to think it's my dashing good looks, and endless charm

A friend measured me a couple of years back, and It turned out to be 177cm. I think thats 5'9 roughly. Maybe a bit more.
I feel like an odd 5'9 though. I have short legs
