Back when OKCupid did datamining blog posts, they posted a graph of the distribution of self-reported heights for male members. There was a visible hump right at six feet where a ton of 5’10s and 5’11s fudged it

Chef Boyardeez Nuts posted:Where does the height insecurity phase in on dudes? I've lived my whole adult life at 5'11" and was blissfully unaware that height was a thing to be insecure about. Some people treat shorter guys differently, it's just how it is. If you don't learn to brush off certain comments and such it could easily develop into an insecurity.

Like she'll cover her mouth when she eats even when she's alone at her desk. She holds everything so daintily, sits like a mannequin, and talks like a mouse. And she stands so strangely like her feet are crisscrossed, pointing in different directions. she sounds adorable OP; i think i figured out what you're mad about

I'm used to it and it doesn't cause me issues but I've been short my whole life and it is definitely noticeable that you sometimes get treated differently. I just found an even shorter woman and married her and it's never really bothered me.

6'0 is usually the fixation for guys who care about that kind of thing. I'm 5'9 and 5'10 guys will say to me "well you've got to be taller than 5'9 because I'm 6 foot and we're about the same height".

RenegadeStyle1 posted:I'm 6'3" so obviously tall but honestly I never even notice other dudes heights or if they're a lot taller or shorter than me. I guess you could say that I'm privileged in that way but I don't think it enters the mind of other people as much as short dudes think it does. The closest I get is when I meet another tall person and think "wow I forgot my neck could do that."

I'm about 5'8" and always felt... average height? I never thought of my height as notable in either direction, and nobody commented on it in that way - instead it's some of the rest of my family who are notably tall.

When I think of people when they're not around I tend to think of them as taller or shorter than they are based approximately on what I think of them. Often times their perceived height is opposite of real life. Does anyone else do this?

Most people tend to go around being "me-sized". I live in a me-sized apartment with everything based around my height/width, and when I visit someone whose stuff is all too close together and I have to stoop to use a tabletop it feels completely disorienting.

I'm really pleased that I missed whatever brain disease that could have taken root when I stopped growing at 5'11 and 3/4" then. I think it helped that my best friend in elementary school was this kid named Dusty who was super short and I just internalized short dude = cool dude. Man that kid ruled. Too bad his parents got divorced and he had to move to Florida

We were all dishonorably discharged from the cub scouts when Dusty's mom found us trying out the knots in the book at precisely the wrong moment. To this day I don't know what brain genius included "Hangman's Noose" in a book for second graders.

Yeah I had a friend who was insistent I was 6'3" because he was shorter than me and claimed to be 6'. Sorry dude, I'm not, that's just the way it is.

Often times their perceived height is opposite of real life. Does anyone else do this? I think of my boss as taller than me even though he's either the same height or maybe half an inch taller. It must be because of his authority over me, I wouldn't say I particularly admire or respect him.

It's definitely one of those cases where the OP may be in the right, but in being right they reveal deeper-seated assholishness beyond the immediate situation.

BOOTY-ADE posted:Weirdly hypocritical how she's got no problem participating in porn, but her adult dad watching porn is "disgusting & vile" Not really. As a sex worker she must get tired of all the creeps and weirdos she has to deal with on the day to day. Now mentally she counts her father among said creeps and weirdos and is disappointed and upset. She tries to hold him to a higher standard because, you know, Dad, and her frustration that she doesn’t want to think of her dad as a creep gets buried under a swirl of emotion and disappointment.

OP had rheumatoid arthritis or similar disability and was the only one who got a boobytrapped gift (uncle had a long history of injuring people with his punishment-box presents).

Bruceski posted:The closest I get is when I meet another tall person and think "wow I forgot my neck could do that." It's not just "another tall person", it has to be someone significantly taller. I'm 6'4 and worked with someone for a few years who was at least 6'7 or 6'8, maybe more, and it was odd.
