Topic: Do tall people have more advantage than short ppl? | |
---|---|
I am 1.75 meters or 5'9. It has its advantages and disadvantages especially for women. As you say, it's difficult to find clothes that fit. My problem is finding women's shoes that fit my feet. I take an 11 W.
One of the advantages that I'm grateful for is that when I'm out walking alone after dark, nobody bothers me. I have never been mugged or attacked. My height can be intimidating, but it also helps to have "the look" as my daughter calls it. |

In my supermarket I sometimes buy wine. Most cashiers know me, or don't care about my age. Some say, "are you old enough to buy this?" I always respond "I am way too old".

It's all propaganda and lies.
Tall people are cursed. They will never enjoy the simple pleasure of driving a cute fast sportscar. The will always be bumping their heads on stuff and low ceiling objects. And tall people never get to wear cute fun clothes. |

On a side note...
There would be no tall people if there were no short people |

How tall? How short?

I think advantages and disadvantages to both. I'm 5' 10 and I love being tall except when it's time to buy jeans or scrubs. Companies make pants to fit us talls but they don't adjust the waist so mine are always baggy from the thighs up. and I've found that along with being tall you have longer feet. I was always self conscious about wearing a size 9 shoe.

Are there advantages that go with being tall,and do short people lose anything for being short? Are you talking about the dating field? I think it depends on whom you're referring to. My experience has been that shorter men are less successful and on occasion, very short or very tall women are less successful. |

From a funny song Short People by Randy Newman
They got little hands And little eyes And they walk around Tellin' great big lies They got little noses And tiny little teeth They wear platform shoes On their nasty little feet They got little baby legs And they stand so low You got to pick 'em up Just to say hello They got little cars That got beep, beep, beep They got little voices Goin' peep, peep, peep They got grubby little fingers And dirty little minds They're gonna get you every time |

I know the song, and never liked it. I often wondered why he did not follow it up with one about tall people, many of his songs were written for films Most of my girlfriend's were around 5ft,and the one that got away was just 4.9 |

I hate going places with my tall friends. It's like when we go shopping they are walking what they say is normal. And I'm like wait for me I gots lil legs! For me it's the other way round: I don't like going out with short people because I have to constantly look down and stretch my neck that way when talking, and after some 15 minutes it triggers my tinnitus, vertigo etc. Meaning after 15 mins I have to leave and go home. And I ain't even all that tall, 1.78m, but people in this area tend to be shortcakes (1.55m ish). Just goes to show that height does matter even though many think or say it doesn't. Height difference impacts socialising and practical life. |
