  • Hi Guest - Did you know?
    Hot Topics is a Safe for Work (SFW) forum.

If you r a short guy, are you envious of the tall guys?

I'm not really short, but I'm also definitely not tall. I'm used to looking up and looking down. :-)
 
This obsession with height is something that I have never understood, I know it goes way back , the Bible makes reference to King Saul being a head taller than all of the other men.

Still, it puzzles me, I see no advantage in being tall, ok, maybe a guy can reach the top shelf, hardly a life altering event, is it? At 5'7" and shrinking with age (I was 5'8" in my youth) I have never given it much thought, outside of "what's the big deal?"

I can see children thinking that it's good to be taller, it looks like you have grown up faster. But as adults I think that we should be beyond that sort of thought.

"Jealousy" and "envy" goes beyond childhood, unfortunately. People will always be superficial and have insecurities.

It clearly should not be a big deal at all for us in the gay world, but in the world of the breeders it plays a part. Men who are taller than average (but not too tall) have a higher chance of finding a partner than shorter (and significantly taller) men. This is due to the fact that taller people tend to have higher IQs and be more successful in the work place, which again is due to the fact that they were most likely raised by parents who gave them more resources (which is also a sign that they will give future offspring more resources as well).
Still we are outside of all that crap and should be call with what we are and have.
 
Does anyone else tend to "normalise" their own height, no matter what it is? For example, I'm 6'2" which might statistically be taller than most guys, but my brain rounds off to being "average." To me it is normal to be this height and it doesn't feel tall or anything.

The interesting thing is, even if most guys are shorter than me, my brain also rounds them off to being "average." To me their height is also normal and it doesn't seem short. I'm typing this thinking of guys I know and really having to think hard to picture their height in comparison to me and going "Oh yeah! I guess he is shorter...."

So when I see a guy who is taller than me, he really registers in my brain. I notice his height, and I also enjoy it!
 
I'm 6 foot even and am attracted to short guys, between 5'5" and 5'8" is perfect, over 6'....not interested.
 
I'm a short guy, but it is annoying that people associate height with age. Also guys assume I am a bottom, which I am not! Sometimes I get a little envious of tall guys, but it isn't a big deal. I've accepted my height lol.
 
I'm 5' 7" and most of my lovers are taller than me expect when we are in bed and that makes me happy.

If you're neither, and also short you're screwed ;). Although I'd concede a tall guy who's not cute is no better off than a short guy who isn't :p.
 
I'm 5' 7" and would like to be closer to 6 feet, but envy is too strong a word. I accept reality and realize that people too tall have other problems.
 
No. Not really.

It can get annoying being short sometimes. But I don't know a single tall guy i'd rather be.
 
I'm 5'6 and I'm fine with being short. When I was kid I wanted to be tall but I'm over that. The only thing I dislike about being short is having to get so much of my wardrobe tailored.
 
Well guys, I've figured it out. I am jealous of taller guys but it doesn't stop there.

I'm jealous of taller guys, hotter guys, guys with partners, guys with friends, guys who are social and outgoing, guys without major quirks...all that jazz ;).

I guess to summarize I'm jealous of every guy that's better off than me right now.
 
I'm a little over 6ft tall and have always liked shorter/smaller guys, but never been with one. There's something about a shorter guy that's smoking hot to me. Sadly I haven't come across any who wants anything to do with me. Too bad cause smaller masculine guys make me think nasty things.
 
I am 5'8", neither short nor tall. I wish I were a bit taller maybe, but not over 6'.
 
Both of my parents are the runts of their litters. Both of my grandfathers were around 6', as were my uncles, and male cousins.

At my peak, in my youth, I was just a tad shy of 5'6". And, like others, I've somehow managed to loose about an inch in my advanced years. I'm still a bit taller than my parents, though. Mom is 5' even, and Dad is 5'4".

As a kid, I was physically intimidated by bigger, taller, guys (which was most of them), and really, Really, wished I was taller. However, I was usually the "leader" of the groups I was involved with.

When I finally got to see my school records, my IQ score was 126. SO ... I guess my quick mind, and fast legs, helped keep me out of trouble, except when I was the one instigating it.

Being short does have it's advantages when it comes to comfortably fitting into small spaces, and such. However, it can also be a pain when things are out of reach, or not being able to see over things, etc.

Taller guys always seemed to have things go easier for them. I seemed to have had to work harder to overcome my physical short comings. However, I became quite pleased with being the size I am.
