Just like not all short people are war-mongering Frenchman, not all tall people play basketball. Stop asking!
2. Women are intimidated by you
Come and talk to us, we'll treat you well. We don't bite, I promise!
3. Short guys are always trying to fight you
Relax little man, I don't want to hurt you. I just want to go about my day.
4. Harder to attract women
Some women like taller guys but do you know how difficult it is to talk to women when you are always a foot taller than them!? Look up here please! :(
5. You always hit your head on stuff
The world isn't build for tall people :(
6. People (especially women) constantly ask how tall you are
I'm 6'5". Stop asking!! I'm not a monster :'(
7. Leg room (or lack thereof)
You short people are lucky, you'll never know the struggle of having to squash into a aeroplane seat!!!
8. Harder to gain muscle
It sucks. Shorter guys can spend a few months in the gym and they can be ripped, but for tall guys it's much harder. So when you see a tall guy with a good body, make sure you appreciate how much effort he has put in.
Even though yeah taller guys tend to have lower metabolism and such it's just as hard or as simple for us to gain muscle and strength as other men but I DO tend to notice it takes more work for it to show through.
People assume that you play basketball? Not necessarily, some tall guys play volleyball, or water polo... Women are intimidated by you? Not really, most women like tall guys. Short guys are always trying to fight you? Yeah, that's true, short guys are feisty like roosters :P Harder to attract women? As I said, most women like tall guys, but I understand it's very difficult to find a girl if you are too tall (7 ft or taller). You always hit your head on stuff? Obviously true :D People (especially women) constantly ask how tall you are? Nah, only once is enough ;) Leg room (or lack thereof)? True again. Harder to gain muscle? Hmmm, I'm a tall girl but I'm very well toned, I find it hard to believe that tall guys can't gain muscle... Anyway, very cool mytake :)
1 has become so annoying that I kind of just want to be a hermit so I don't have to be asked about basketball anymore. 3 is the reason why I don't go to bars or clubs much. 5 I basically need a helmet at work. 7 is hell on earth on planes when the person in front of you reclines all the way back. I decide to put headphones on and start rocking out so it disturbs them and they pull their chair back up or they make a fuss and then I say they can ask to be moved because I am not going to sit quietly with half their chair in my lap. 8 I'm also an ectomorph so it's a bitch to build muscle especially around the forearms and calves.
Dont forget people always asking you to get stuff they can't reach, yeah i like helping but come on 8+ times a day? Dont forget finding clothes that fit and how much more expensive they are and cars, fitting in a car is a nightmare, first you got to try for several minutes getting your head in because the low roof then you have to figure how to get your legs in without them resting squished against the dashboard, forget about drive if you dont have a moon roof, when i drive i have to have mine open so i can stick my head out and see, get a lot of stares but come on average sized sedan or suv is more like a clown car
Dont get me started on riding motorcycles, when my brother taught me how to ride on his, it felt like riding a kids bicycle lol his was a 1500cc kawasaki cruiser, one time he had to pick me up from my doctors because the isurance wouldn't pay for a ride back, long story, i had to sit on the back of his bike, oddest looking thing ever, he's 5'7 his head only came up to the bottom of my chest and my feet dragged against the ground, everyone stared seeing my big ass in the back and him in the front lol, cars are your worst enemy when your tall. My neighbor tried picking me up once and it was a chrysler sebring coupe, i looked at him and said "nuh uh" i can't fit in that, somehow i managed to squeeze in, knees up to my chest my head low, he went over a speedbumb and i broke his vanity mirror and put a dent in the roof of his car
ever see the episode in the big bang theory where rajesh koothrappali complains about the difficulties of sleeping with two women but is actually just bragging? this is exactly the same. and shorter men trying to fight you? man! as a short man i can see it's the tall guys who keep calling me a shrimp, manlet and so on to provoke me. of course i'm mature enough not to be enticed into that but it's actually tall guys who are obsessed about it and for some reason need to keep making me notice i'm short even when it's totally irrelevant and try to get me into a fight. of course when they do they look manly rather than immature and stupid, and if i fought back i'd be an angry little man rather than manly...
Yes I agree - For each type there are some pros and cons - It is interesting for those that are not that type to read a take like this - I have a very tall friend who tells me that it is really hard to get trousers often have to get them tailored in the leg length.
I dunno, when I started high school I was 5'1" so I got used to always being short. Now that I'm 5'10" I'm taller than a good number of guys, but since I was always short it never bothered me.
I do often wonder how tall really tall guys are, but I'm not asshole enough to ask.
Unless you're near 7ft you don't have it THAT bad. I'm 5'7" so I'm not a midget but I'm kinda short. I've noticed that guys taller than me tend to get more respect. Seems like I have to work for it. Plus nothing is worse than trying to flirt with a girl that's taller than you 😂
Honestly the whole "tall guy" fad is everywhere and I think men have this sort of pressure for being taller and somewhat macho. Lol as for the shorter guys trying to fight, shouldn't that be amusing? And it's just a complex. I think an issue a tall guy would have is showers too
Lol no. They aren't called marines at least. It's a nickname. I was given it by a patient of mine because I help Veterans and Active Duty Canadian Special Forces/Armed Forces get over or cope with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
My husband is 6'4" and I am 5'3"... he never intiminated me. I mean making out was awkward in the begining but you get used to it quick. The only thing that bothers me now about his height is that he tends to put everything up high forgetting that most people are not 6'4"-lol.
people do ask me if I play basketball. But women are not intimidated by me. A lot like my size. My muscle gains are pretty good, but I have to eat SOOOO much food to increase my muscle size.
Tall guys are usually stronger and they actually gain muscle easier. Almost every muscular guy is tall. And women LOVE tall guys! The taller, the better (unless you're talking over 7 feet tall). We're more intimidated by short guys.
Number 6 though 😂 I answer that daily. I'm 6" 3ish and sometimes it gets so annoying that I say m 7" 5 or something and some idiots actually buy that. Lol Number 8, Damn tell me about it.
