[QUOTE=Wesley Clark] Thank god shorter guys arenā€™t insecure about their height otherwise theyā€™d read this thread, get angry and defensive and then respond. [/QUOTE] Thank you for perfectly illustrating my point. If I posted something like ā€œAlthough we all know that blondes are stupid, how do you feel about red-heads?ā€ Iā€™d get shouted down (and rightly so) that thereā€™s no direct correllation between being blonde and being stupid. But if short men respond to allegations of inherant inferiority complexes, you seem to think thatā€™s just further manifestations of their insecurity. So what is perfectly normal behavior is labeled as ā€œinsecurityā€ and ā€œdefensivenessā€ in short people. ---

[QUOTE=LouisB] Iā€™ve also noticed that men 6ā€™3" and taller have diminished IQs; the taller the man, the lower the IQ. [/QUOTE] Now thatā€™s just ridiculous. My psychic says Iā€™m so smart Iā€™m guaranteed to win the lottery _twice_, just so long as Iā€™m careful about always investing at least half my welfare check in tickets every week. Luckily, thereā€™s a lottery ticket store right next to the check-cashing place so itā€™s easy to remember. ---

[QUOTE=Chotii] No, sir, Mr. OP. I feel no need to compensate for them. Now do tell: what real good has your height ever done for you or anyone else? [/QUOTE] Iā€™ll return to address this. My height has its advantages. Thereā€™s the ā€œfunā€ advantages, I can reach the high shelves in department stores. In sports where height is a natural advantage, I have that advantage. If I want to physically intimidate somebody (even though Iā€™ve been described as a six-foot koala bear) I have the advantage on being able to look down at 95% of the population. Thereā€™s the ā€œpracticalā€ advantages. Itā€™s much easier for me to do work around the house. I installed a ceiling fan in my daughterā€™s room a couple weeks ago - no ladder or step stool needed. Then thereā€™s these things I like that strike me every now and then. I rarely get claustrophobic in crowds. Iā€™m, literally, head-and-shoulders above the crowd, say, leaving a sporting event, and see easily. My shorter wife is stuck staring at shoulder blades and is uncomfortable in crowds. In my cube farm workplace, I stand and see a vista of open, well-lit space. My shorter co-worker works in a rat-maze as she canā€™t see over the top of the cubes. There are disadvantages are, as \*\*Epimetheus \*\*implied. Iā€™m dreadfully uncomfortable on airplanes, clothes are hard to find (especially being fat. Most stores sell Big \*OR \*Tall clothes, not Big \*AND \*Tall). I ā€œtry onā€ cars when I car shop. The smaller, cheaper cars are usually built for the 5ā€™10" and under crowd. All things being equal - If I could remake my body how Iā€™d want? Iā€™d be about six-feet even and 150 lbs lighter. As long as Iā€™m dreaming, Iā€™d like my hair back, too. Yumemiā€™s comment, though, strikes a bit at to where this thread digressed. Sheā€™s willing to date any man she doesnā€™t have to look down at. To a man in the 5ā€™6" range, given the number of women these days who seem to be pushing 6-feet tall, this would be a real problem if her attitude is prevalent. Then thereā€™s this whole thing about how we believe weā€™d like ourselves to be and how we actually are. We like to think ourselves to be more accepting that we often really are. Some of the fire I took on this thread was because I stated what, I believe, we often think but is socially unacceptable to actually say out loud. That is to say, short men are at a disadvantage in America. ---

Since I always enjoy a chance to talk about my taste in men, let me say that historically Iā€™ve tended to end up with guys shorter than myself. This may be a demographic thing (Iā€™m 6ā€™2", so there are a lot of guys shorter than me), but also itā€™s because a lot of short guys are really hot. Iā€™m thinking of two red-haired dynamos from Ottawa who were each around 5ā€™6"ā€¦ not to mention a certain 5ā€™8" Briton. ---

[QUOTE=davenportavenger] Count me in as another bigā€™un (D or DD depending on weight) that would like to be smaller. The thing Iā€™m most jealous of is the lingerie. As and Bs get all kind of satiny bras in all kinds of neat colors, while Iā€™m stuck with grandma bras in the exciting choices of beige, white, black, andā€¦ thatā€™s it! [/QUOTE] Agreed when you look at the options for the average B cup girl. I wear a 34A (and fill it on a good day) and there are darn few options for A cup girls. Heck I only even wear my size because 32A was being discontinued left and right. Vickyā€™s has a special category for A cups (just like they do for DD) so you donā€™t have to sift through all of them, find one you like, then find out it doesnā€™t come in anything below 34 or B. Whatā€™s weird about it, is that I am very happy with my body, and so is **OnlyMostlyDead**. I just wish American clothing companies would realize that not everyoneā€™s a B/C cup and make clothes to fit all of us. (Or that the genes in my family would have been a little more even handed. My sister busts through her D cups, and is on her way to DD. And sheā€™s still in high school.) ---
