Holy shit TheButt is basically an Oompa Loompa.

Am I the new UM shortguy?

You and HBB

 

[The Butt]

Ok. I magically grew in height by a foot. Sorry HBB you're on your own.

 

[CiG]

You're not really a short guy even though you're short, you're more like a homunculus.

 

[Krow]

Okay so my BMI is 32.8 which means I should probably put down this kangaroo and gherkin burger I'm eating right now.

Mine was about the same. 5'11'-6' depending on the gas station i'm leaving and ~240 pounds. I dropped like 15 pounds a while back when I quit only doing deliveries at work. Would probably wither away if I quit beer and pizza.

 

[no country for old wainds]

phew i think i just about cleared the UM Shortguy bar at 5'8

 

[CiG]

I'm 6 ft myself.

 

[Funerary_Doom]

I was tall in middle school, but the problem is I stopped growing. The BMI calculator said 18.6, which is normal. I’ve always wished to be taller. There was some study done about tall people being successful or like people viewing them differently

I'm short af. I could stand to lose 10lbs but it's not holding me back.

I wonder if that holds true for women.

18.0. It was 20.4 at the start of October but I've had health issues since then and lost 15lbs. Skinniest I've been since freshman year.

I know the feeling. I was severely ill for a couple of years and I've never really gained much weight since that time.

6'1" 130 lb ... at all the short guys here. Also in regards to tall women being more respected, a lot of men are also intimidated by you and won't find you approachable if they're shorter than you. Being a cold and robotic person when focused on data entry probably doesn't help.

 

[Funerary_Doom]

I wondered that too. The study stated that most CEO's of companies are men who are like 6' and over. I actually think the taller you are people perceive you to be confident for whatever reason . Us little people gotta really push forward confidence to even compete with that. I also just think its one of those things that people notice quickly.

i dated a girl taller than me one time and didn't really like it. that's probably more CiG's kinda thing

 

[The Butt]

My gf is slightly taller than me. Not by much but eh.

 

[Funerary_Doom]

I never had an issue, but someone shorter than me may or may not be a midget.

Honestly, I'm sure i'm intimidating in other ways besides height. Generally look unhappy or upset, especially if I have my hair pulled back. Also, i've got no volume control. I speak really loudly

 

[CiG]

Yeah if I were a CEO I'd hire exclusively tall intimidating women, it would keep all the douchey short-guy-syndrome twats in line and I'd be in heaven all day long.

That said, nothing can beat a genuinely intimidating average height/short woman. More Miss Mousseline types please.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

I can get a good blend of Dead and Attila going on.

Sounds good. How are you on replicating those Euronymous riffs though?

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

21.5 apparently. 5'10, 150 pounds.

At the risk of sounding like a generalizing racist douche, black women are probably the most intimidating women in existence.
