"University students asked to rate the qualities of men of varying heights said short men were less mature, less secure and less capable than tall men."
:grin:

My line manager is short and he's very annoying.

He'll be "overcompensating for a lack of physical stature" :lipsrsealed:

Maybe, but i think it's more to do with him being a tw*t.

Yes certainly sounds like SMS, do you have any tall successful counterparts as "Short men were, as expected, most jealous in the presence of powerful, tall, strong and rich potential rivals."

"University students asked to rate the qualities of men of varying heights said short men were less mature, less secure and less capable than tall men."
:grin:
that statement is utter nonsense what i have found in my working life [i'm 5.5] is that those of normal height have less common sense, have less intelligence, are more prone not to think things thru, and overall put less effort into anything than the shorties :rolleyes:
anyone wanna argue? fcuking outside NOW! ya big fooking w4nkers! :grin:

"Those of normal height" makes me feel blessed and glad I'm in the 6 foot plus section :grin:
-
mate i like being my height cos when you can work harder and do more than most guys ive met in my life you gain much more respect :wink:
-
Did you read the one by coolaid about the baths?
The more I read them the more I'm LMFAO :laugh:
Nutters.

I'm 6'4".
Experienced short man syndrome too many times, and I'm the right height for a head butt right on the nose!
And @ raf, I'd make you wrong, I agree with that quote doc stated, to a certain extent!
And most people where I'm from are idiots, regardless of size! :laugh:
-
6'4" Baby! i see SMS all the time with work an general social times.
Shortys really need to get over it, its not like the biggest man can just take whatever anymore, its not the stone age! Everyones really on a level playing field now
All being tall means above (hehe) being short is that its generally a quality women like, we're seen as more able to provide and protect and people generally listen when we say something because subconciously, height is authority.
:laugh:
i'm just joking, some of my best friends are short!
-
the 1st line in that story is a mate of mine. 5'4.
he even once started on a bloke who was talking to his missus at a friends party, a bloke who turned out to be gay. :laugh:
his best man at his wedding last year made sure everyone he knows and his family is now aware of that.
-
I am also 6ft 4 and have met many SMS individuals in my time :grin:
-
I feel short now I'm only 6 ft 3 :sad:
-
I'm in the middle (5,11") and I really do agree with the article, except for the tall men get the good looking women bit. I agree with the fact that more avarage sized people have less common dog, but what percentage fall into the tall or short catagory in the grand scheme of things?? Far more avarage sized people, and it stands to reason that there will be far less common sense around!
My work takes me from place to place for a couple of years at a time, so I've met quite a few short and tall. The taller ones actually tend to be a bit dim, maybe its because everyone was intimidated by them so gave them everything and they didnt learn by themselves. Shorter on the other hand, seem to be quite intelligent. This is obviously due to the fact they subconciously try harder at everything, to make up for their SMS. And the majority of the shorter men DO have this. When put in positions of power, they jump ship from being a midget frenchman who's a bit firey, to a egotistical arse'ole German! :grin:

Nothing like a good old stereo type :grin:.
You could make these kinds of generalisations about almost any group in society and as this article has demonstrated very well some people still do !
I gave up pre judging based on appearance years ago, I used to see someone and think "I bet their this that or the other" but often people can be the polar opposite of what you pick up from appearance.

Exactly!!
Im also inbetween at 5'10"..... dont judge people before you know them. I know some short people who are... well without doubt very smart and know how to handle themselves shall we say. I have often seen them say stuff to much taller guys who literally sh!t themselves.
Size matters.... if you are shallow :cool:

Hey... thats without heels!! :kiss:

Also one example of jealousy are my sister in law and her husband. Both good looking, fit, and average height. (they are thick as fcuk though!). But the jealousy is outrageous, they can't even talk to another family member without the other being in the room, and the phone on loudspeak! It really is a sad way to live your life!

Can I join the 6,4 crew aswell please, I think i may be breaching 6,5 but I prefer 6,4
-
5'6 for the win!!! :grin:
-
I'm 6' 4" :cool:
I may have attracted a fair few pretty women but they were all proper insecure nut jobs (wife included), I think being taller attracts them?
-
im only 15 so im 5'7/5'8 probably a bit taller, but from what i see, i have mates a couple of inches shorter than me, who could take a mates a good 3/4" taller than me with ease, but i also know some the other way round, from what i see, some people are born naturally hard, and if you aren't you will never be hard, i've got a mate who is literally a gym addict, proper big, he must be about 5'10/5'11 and he would get slaughtered by my 'naturally hard' 5'6 mate in seconds, the 5'6 mate is one of the hardest people i know, so i seriously don't think theres a correlation in height and being hard, you just are or you aren't, my little brother who's 10 months younger than me but a good 5inches shorter literally has the worst sms ever, constantly nazing me around, being a twit, so i do think it exsists, but i don't know many with it.

I think we could all do with being a bit more 'naturally hard'..
-
Naturally hard = learnt how to front it! :rolleyes: safety mechanism.

Apparently I'm naturally intimidating!
This has always come as a great shock to me as I like to think I'm anything but that, an anyone on here who's met me knows I'm not a knobber.... Well most people :laugh:
