Yep, and it’s like a massive thing to them, and if you give any hint that you believe that they aren’t 6ft it’s like you’ve destroyed their poor, fragile manhood. Because apparently their entire self esteem depends on officially being 72" tall. I don’t understand it.

I actually had a protein shake guzzling, Pickup Artist reading, douchebag of a co-worker who wouldn’t stand next to me once he realised I was taller than him …

I think my appearance and personality don’t match up so well. I think I look like I’m going to be meek and mild and young, and possibly like I might giggle and butter up their egos for the slightest thing. That isn’t me.

#34

no shit!

It’s weird but once I hit about 27/28 something changed in me and I stopped giving a shit about what other people think of me. Was it the same for you?

#36

Would just like to state, on the record, that I know that I’m short but I am still quite annoyed about it.

Maybe you just need to find some really short friends who you can feel unjustifiably superior to.

Got a couple of friends the exact same height as me, I have no feelings of superiority over them or anyone else really though. We can discuss being quite annoyed at being short together though which is nice I guess.

Haha, I’m beginning to think we may have actually worked together, as I had a very similar colleague. Every day he’d eat two chicken breasts covered in Nandos sauce and some steamed broccoli. I was kind of darkly fascinated with him.

Film stars tend to be surprisingly short. Claim you are “Hollywood-sized”.

Unfortunately I think they infest a lot of place. You should have seen the look on this guy’s face when I told him that the human body can only absorb so much protein per day, so he was probably pissing out the majority of the over-priced whey he was drinking.

struggling to understand why so many people don’t know their inside leg measurement.

#47

mostly wear jeans that just say L, R or S tbh. i seem to vary between R and S.

#49

Because it’s pointless information. Genuinely never given it any thought when buying jeans or trousers. Unless you’re very tall or very short you’re absolutely fine just going off waist sizes. 90% will be the average (31") or at a push an inch either way…but then i suspect you already knew all this.

this is of course, complete and utter nonsense.

I guess a bad combo of both being really insecure and having a huge ego? Like they want to feel big and important, but aren’t willing/are unable to actually do anything impressive, so they have to find someone who sets the bar low.

It’s like when I was at school, there were plenty of 19-20+ lads who used to meet their girlfriends at the school gates. At the time it had this vague image of “cool older boyfriend”, but now it’s more like “who is this creepy loser who couldn’t find an adult, and is dating a 15/16 year old instead?”

Anyone with experience of tailoring would tell you that 31" is the average inside leg measurement for a British adult male. Well over three quarters of all British adult males have an inside leg between 30" and 32".
