Do you get jealous of other people’s height?

Question

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

I had this hilarious conversation with my staff at work at my old job on a lunch break. I had a couple of male staff members who were 6'5, 6'3, and 6'4. We were talking about how rare it was for them to be able to look someone directly in the eye, or have to look up at someone, or be intimidated by someone else, because they are usually looking down on others by way of their height. So I was asking when they do meet someone taller, do they hate it and feel like, why are you taking my "super power" away by being taller than me and getting the attention and the power that comes with it all, and they admitted that yes, they were not fans of other guys who were taller than them because it was "their thing," and they really liked being unique and people being wowed just by them walking in a room being so tall compared to everyone else.

When I was younger maybe, mostly because I got picked on for being so short. As an adult my height is fine (I’m 4’11) even if it would be nice not having to climb for everything and having it be easy to find clothes/shoes that fit properly in the adult section.

There's no point in being jealous of another person's height. That won't do anything for your personal situation.

On the flip side, I'm 6'2". I don't want to be any taller. In fact I'd be OK with being 6'0". Why? Well as an example, I had to move a woman's car this week end while clearing my driveway of snow. She tossed me the keys. I could barely fit in the driver's seat after moving the seat all the way back and moving the steering wheel up as high as it would go. Some sports cars I've wanted to own just weren't an option for my legs.

Stuff, clothing, furniture, car seats, aircraft and train seats, etc. is all made for the average human body. Being too far from the average (height, weight) just makes life harder.

No lol. Height isn’t something that can be controlled. I’m 5’11 so not short not tall. If someone judges me based on height. Why would I want them in my life anyways?

And I don’t hate people for height either. I look at a person based on what they can control. Not what they can’t.

When I was younger, I was jealous of my best friend's height. She is 5'10 and I always thought that was the perfect height to be as a girl. But now I like my height. I'm 5'4.

MikeMcMansion · Answer

Im 6 foot and these youngins are getting taller albeit narrower and weaker. It’s like these young guys gotta take tren get big and strong like we used to naturally get (almost). Here’s the thing when it comes to horses and cattle guildings which were castrated often grew taller. Their disposition is more like a female females they don’t fight as much and they have a stress-free life if they’re castrated early. Since kids aren’t disciplined boys not fight as much and there’s no shortage of good food for most kids across the world now boys are getting taller. But without Tren/roids they’re straight up pussy made.

I'm very short and have never been jealous of tall women. I'm 4'11" and love being the height I am.

While I'm very short my hair is extremely long. Longer than I am tall in fact. I'm very happy with my short height and long hair length.

Joshydavid25 · Answer

I'm 6ft so above average/kinda tall, and I don't necessarily get jealous of another guys height.. But I do try and compare myself to other guys heights sometimes, and do sometimes think that I could have at least reached 6'3".. But, I should be happy to have reached in the 6 ft range.. Even if it's a bit weak..

I have friend who is 6’10 and im 5,7 im not jealous at all of his height. There advantages and disadvantages. He has to get certain things custom made like clothes and shoes. We served together in the army and he couldn’t fit in the humvee :) but i will say he is very strong and he does attract a lot of people when we hangout.

DonaldDarko · Answer

I never knew height was a thing for most of my life. I kept hearing about it but didn't really pay much attention. I think it's some kind of peacock tail kind of thing with humans.

I get a bit jealous but I’m average height. I’m 5’5 and I get called tall and short by multiple people. I do wish I were a few inches taller though.

Billlewis · Answer

Short women are the absolute bomb. It's very rare for me to become interested in a tall woman, even being 6'3" myself.

RandomGirl42 · Answer

I don't really get jealous but being barely taller than a hobbit I sometimes wish I was a couple inches taller. 🤣

zagor · Answer

I'm average, and I used to wish I was taller, but after watching a 6'9 acquaintance have to bob his head going through doorways, and after enduring 18 hour plane trips crammed in a coach seat, I'm pretty happy just as I am.

spartan55 · Answer

Never, and I would feel ridiculous if I did feel that way.

Wiredone · Answer

People tell me that im short but I don't care. At least I don't hit my head on a lot of things when I walk like tall people do. No I'm not jealous of anyone. Jealousy gets you nowhere

LiamJHayden · Answer

No. I tend to not get jealous of anything, but it seems silly to be so over things over which one has no control - unless willing to go through painful surgery and a long recovery and PT time.
