Define tall. How short are you, spurge? :P I'm either 6'0 or 6'1, and I sometimes feel weird talking to people who are too much shorter than me. I feel my body involuntarily trying to slump over, lol. I don't particularly like having to look down at people. Makes me feel weirdly condescending. I've found that if someone is 5'10 or taller I pretty much perceive them as the same height as myself, though.
| Yerm said: society generally favors tall people, and bigger things are generally viewed as better. to a degree having something of a bigger size can be a status symbol. having a 50 inch tv is respected a lot more than having a 20 inch tv. having more money is better than having less money. and being taller is favored over being short. I myself am a 5'7" male, meaning i just hit the average height of men. i envy people that are taller than me, the 6' and above people specifically, but i cant put down anyone shorter than me because while i am not as short as them, i still know the pain. |
5'7 is below average where I'm from. I used to have nightmares of growing up to be your height back when I was 16 and 5'5. Back then I cared so much about height. These days it doesn't bother me too much. I wonder why.
