Are guys who are tall and skinny more likely to be jerks?

In my experience - and that’s all it is, my experience - guys who are very tall, and very thin, what you might call “gangly,” I guess, tend to be bigger jerks and have poorer social manners, a more rude and ill-humored attitude, and act like they have a chip on their shoulder, more than people with other body types. This is not true of huge guys that are 6’5 and 300 pounds, like football player types - in my experience it tends to be guys who are very tall, and very skinny. These guys also usually seem to have bigger noses, bigger ears, and bigger teeth.

I don’t know what it is, but I find that guys who fit this description, for some reason, are often surly and lacking in social skills.

Is this just a totally skewed, fucked up, inaccurate perception based on my skewed experience with a small segment of the tall-thin-guy population? Or has anyone else noticed this too?

Gee, I’d like to give you my opinion but since we are in IMHO…wait just a minute!

Moving thread from IMHO to The BBQ Pit.

Your opinion is totally fucked up.

I’d imagine so. I work with an engineer who fits that description and he’s a pussycat.

Just coincidence and confirmation bias.

Humm - Mr. Wonderland is pretty tall and thin (6’3", 185) but he has normally sized ears, nose and teeth - he’s actually pretty hot (has done some modeling work).

He’s also totally sweet and kind, and not jerky at all. Well, I guess he’s a bit of a shit disturber when he plays hockey.

Speaking as a tall, skinny guy, I would say yes.

Bitch.

Fuck you.

Does that answer your question? :wink:

Well, I’m 1,93m and 65 kilos (6’4", 143) with big ears, big front teeth and a long nose that’s been broken twice. I’m a bit of a jerk, but not in the rude fashion. (Very polite, but also very egotistical)

But this just seems like trolling to me. Would the Dutch and the Norwegian populace be more than average jerkish, because we’re on average taller?

Could you close this thread, moderators? I don’t see any good coming of it, now that it is here.

You don’t get to have your thread closed just because you don’t like the way it’s going.

Bwah, ha, ha! They are so not going to close this.

Bitch.

In my experience, jerks come in all shapes and sizes.

Why not? People request to have threads that they started closed all the time. I see it happen frequently.

I think I ruffled some feathers with this post and it wasn’t my intention to do so, even though I can see now, in hindsight, why it would. So I want to first apologize to anyone I may have insulted, and second, request that the thread be closed.

If Argent Towers doesn’t have a history of this sort of thing, we might as well consider him duly chastised at this point, and let the thread die (by which I mean, kill it). What good is going to come of the inevitable five pages of “What? No, of course not.” and "Fuck you!"s?

Unless anyone has a plan for taking this thread in another direction?

Tall skinny guys are jerks because short fat guys can’t afford to be.

No.

cackles You’re gonna BURRRRNNNN!!!

(And why no, tall thin people aren’t vindictive either.)

Argent, are you trying to tell us that you’re tall and skinny? That’s what I get from this.

Argent Towers, you are looking for the old idea of “body types”

Yeah, okay. Whatever. You’re abusing your “privilege” as a moderator. I was not directly insulting ANYONE in my OP, but because you wanted to cuss me out, YOU moved my thread to the pit. OK. I already apologized for the thread, I said I thought it was a bad idea and a mistake, I shouldn’t have posted it to begin with, and I’m sorry to anyone I might have offended. Now you’re just being a stubborn, hard headed little cocksucker for no reason.

You get your little vicarious thrills from letting everyone pile on me. Go ahead, why don’t you jerk off to it while you’re at it. Vindictive piece of shit. You think you’re so great because you have the power to move a thread from one forum to another. Go fuck yourself.

Uh-oh… if you’d quit poking ants’ nests, this thread might just die a natural death.
