Quote from: microman on October 06, 2015, 04:18:37 PMlol waaaaaaaay off base there, and yeah i have been this height before with lifts, usually if your 5 7 and are in a public gathering of 30 men there will be about 7 men your height, how can you be 'the short guy' then?

microman, that is the most stupid comment ive ever read... you are in public and there are 7 people your height so you're not short? you are contradicting your own statement without even realising, which highlights how unintelligent you really are.. you're basically saying just because you arent the shortest that you arent short? you are in denial.. its kinda like a 6'3 guy saying he isnt tall cause there is people in the room taller than him.. fact is 5'7 is short period.. . not to mention you are also the laziest person ive ever met,,, you havent showered in months, ive been told you have been wearing the same clothes the entire time, you leave garbage everywhere and piss bottles everywhere, you stink the whole hotel out, which is extremely inconsiderate to everyone else in the hotel, and you spend your whole time coming up with stupid facts that dont exist.. you've asked millions of questions on this forum, and uve only done things that require no effort.. you tell everyone u can stand up, when the fact is you are standing on your tippy toes due to how severe your ballerina is.. i know its sounds harsh but its the truth, you are unintelligent and extremely lazy.. and u need to stop kidding yourself that what you're saying is true..

6'0 - 6'2 - almost never be seen as short unless you are around a group of abnormally tall men, or a basketball team
5'10 - 5'11 - very occasionally, if you are from a tall family than can happen more than normal, out with a group of friends who are in the normal tall range of 6'0 to 6'2 you may be called short out of jealousy of other qualities you have, or just boys having generally harmless banter..
5'9 - occasionally be called short but normally just seen as very average
5'7-5'8 - pretty much always been seen as the short guy due to the fact that you are noticeably shorter than the average person, however not so short that people will reguraly comment on it
5'6 and below -  face extreme discrimination whether it be with women, socially out with friends etc.. can really effect how people treat you and respect you

These are the facts if you are living in any are with an average height of 177/8.. ive experienced people with all these heights first hand and its always the same..

I agree with this. This is spot on, and exactly why I'm doing a second round to get to 5'9". 5'9 to me is the start of average, very rare to get called short at this height, or rejected by girls on the basis of height alone. 5'8 is where short begins, but I'd say 5'7 and under is where it's REALLY bad.

exactly.. youve experienced 5'8 now so you know what it feels like.. even tho youve improved drastically, youve experienced what 5'8 feels like in reality.. 5'9 will get you out of the 'short zone'

both my orthopedic surgeons i visited were 5' 6 1/3"  and they said they never felt short once in their life.

why would their views be invalidated because someone else feels differently.

so because 2 random short surgeons deny that they have ever felt short,  this means 5'7 is magically not short all of sudden? lol

its the exact same principle that you are saying when you make your statements.

---
so when 1 random guy on a forum says 5 8 is short then its short then?

lol

----

i respect your opinion, i just disagree with it, you however disagree with me and dont respect my opinion.

why can't you grasp that many of the 20% of men in the room that are 5 7-5 8 don't feel short and are happy?


notice that i respect that you feel short or discriminated against at your height of 5 11, i disagree with it but if your mind truly believes that then i wont try to change that, i hope you can respect that some men dont feel short/discrimnated against at a height you consider to be a short or get discrimation.

I can tell you that im 5.8 barefoot and i wear nike airmax and when im in LA i feel short when i go in a shop, supermarket, etc.
i think that i would have to be at least 5.10 to feel normal here because i dont see many 5.9 dudes. I mean most guys are 5.10 thats really the average.
( i feel short compared to white people and im white, but with mexicans and asians i dont feel so short)

in italy ( my country of origin ) i felt short even when i was living there. Not as bad as LA because most guys are 5.9 there. If i reach 180cm, a weak 5.11, i would be at the beginning of tall.


it doesnt mean that if you are 5.7 you cant have a decent life, yesterday i saw a dude at ralphs (5.7) that was shorter than me and was with a hot girl (5.4  5.5 ) i think that when you are 5,7 or 5,8 you will get labelled as short but you wont get the discrimination that people get when they are under those heights.

i find it odd that you feel short 4cm below the male average but if that's how you feel then that's how you feel.

not sure on the feeling normal at 5 10 comment, but again, if you need to be taller than half the men in the room to feel normal then go for it.

well there you go then, someone 4cm shorter than you, happy with his height, not spending $30,000 to cripple himself for 8+ months to make himself taller, just like 99.99999% of the population that dont do LL, if he can accept his height, you can to.

but if you can't, and need to be 5 10, i still respect that, although i personally feel normal at 5 7-8 and don't feel the need to be 5 10.
