One inherent advantage that short people have over tall people.

In fistfighting, given equal skill, tall people are have advantages due to heavier mass and longer reach.

In gunfighting, it's the other way around. Given equal skill and short people have advantages. Apart the fact of being a smaller target, a short person would be more agile in moving and dodging the bullets. Also, easier to hide and cover oneself.

Now, we found one reason to be short.

I'm glad your thinking more positively Bruce

Thank you. It's not so much about me thinking positively. I'm just stating what it is. I didn't say that every short guy shall reap this benefit or this advantage outweigh the disadvantages.

And who cares about height when your opponent's dead, right?

Seriously though, this is an extreme example. There are more realistic benefits that shorter people can experience without guns or aggression: more leg room on transportation vehicles, bump into things less (e.g. older architecture), and can sleep comfortably on a couch when crashing at a friend's place.

I'm giving a legit example. What you mention, however, are jokes.

Convinced more than ever that your account is satire.

It's not. Advantages in gunfighting give you power, who the fk is worrying about sleeping comfortably at friend's place? You gotta be kidding.

Unless you live in a warzone I wouldn't count this as a benefit.

The only advantage I ever felt was in small airplanes

One of the stupidest and most pathetic copes I've seen this user post in my entire time on this site.

1.) Nobody is impressed by people who pull guns on anyone. Being able to beat someone's ass in a fist fight is a sign of masculinity. Pulling a gun on someone like a scared pussy isn't.

2.) You're not a character in a war movie. You're not a veteran either. You have zero experience being on a battlefield. Being a "smaller target" isn't going to help you not get shot.

3.) Unless you live in the U.S., and in a state where it's legal to own and carry a gun, or in some war-torn country like Syria, it is literally one hundred percent inconsequential whether or not you're a "smaller target" for gunfire or not. Are you expecting a shootout to break out spontaneously? Give me a break.

The real "advantages" of being short are inconsequential bull  like what Android said: more "leg room" on public transportation, slightly longer lifespan, pay less for shoes because your feet are smaller, blah blah blah. No one cares about this crap. If any of these "advantages" were worth a damn this site would be a ghost town. Get real.
