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.

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'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:
