Height discrimination stories

Quote from: NotSoBigBadBruin on September 17, 2020, 09:53:20 PMI haven’t really decided yet. And yeah, my wife will definitely try to talk me out of it if I decide to do it. I guess it would make more sense for me (and my family) to simply move to a different part of the world where the average height is lower. As mentioned in another thread, I live in a city where only immigrants, like myself, seem to be < 6’1” (the official average male height is 184 cm). But again, I haven’t made up my mind yet.

6'1 average holy. You in Germany or Netherlands or something?

I don’t feel comfortable disclosing too much personal information, but I can tell you that I live in Northern Europe. Fortunately, I’m still considered handsome and regularly receive compliments about my looks—and, most importantly, I’m married to the woman of my dreams—BUT I still feel super insecure about my height, especially at work. Only two of my male co-workers are shorter than me, and they’re both in their fifties—all others are > 6’2” (unfortunately, I’m not exaggerating). And even though my height is not preventing me from being promoted etc., it simply sucks that all the guys my age are much taller than me.

Just as an additional note, I‘m well aware that many people here on this forum are in a worse position than me and that my height neurosis may seem ridiculous to some of you.

Then she looked at us and said, “Given YOUR height, though, high ceilings are not really an advantage.”

(I’m 5’11”, and my wife is 5’6”.)
Thats a very important reason to do LL...especially when you are married.
Some people here are really mentally ill and its a pity to do LL, something so hard and only for the brave, because they'll end up way worse.

I’m two inches below the male average height where I live. You’re average height where you live and are still thinking about doing another surgery. Or am I wrong?

At 5.11, even if you are 2 inches less than average (although I don't know any country with an average height of 6.1), you still have a respectable height.
5.5 is pretty average for India but it is short worldwide for a man so there are plenty reasons to do LL. So being completely average in your town is not so important to have something so massive like LL when your height is very good for a man generally. Especially when just an "owner" mentioned that high ceilings are not important for you which is something normal but only someone with major height complexes would think as something bad.

So, at 5.11 and with a wife it is really stupid to do LL. You have only to lose. However it is completely up to you to risk for nothing.

I don't understand how no one realized that this guy is just humblebragging. The same reason, as a average-dcked guy, I would go to r/smalldckproblems to feel better about meself.

@NotSoBigBadBruin As for you man, just want to let you know that I don't resent you in the slightest. I only resent ethnic males who are taller than me. Other than that, I feel ok. But your revelation above is basically a confirmation that none of the things you say should be taken seriously.

Peace man

I think Brendan looks alright, tbh (not the bald guy; that's Joe).

According to a study conducted by one of the most reputable universities in the country, the official average male height in the city where I live is 184 cm (which is slightly above the national average). And if it weren’t for the large number of immigrants, it would probably be around 6’1” (the same applies to Denmark, but it would be around 6’0” there).

I don’t expect someone from Turkey to understand my height neurosis. I’ve been to Turkey more than ten times (I love Turkey!) and always felt above average there.

I never felt short back in my home country or in the US (where I went to university) either, and I’m well aware that 5’11” is a good height almost anywhere in the world. But when I moved to Northern Europe, I immediately started feeling insecure about my height. None of my male friends here are < 6 ft, and my wife has quite a few female friends who are > 6 ft (my wife also feels short here, but it’s not a big deal for her).

So if you think I’m here to brag about being 5’11”, please visit the Netherlands and Denmark and see what it’s like to be surrounded by giants all the time.
