Short? 7"-1'3"
Tall? Anything over 14' really.

Some of the most infamous and terrible people in history were shorter than me, coincidence?

I don't know why but when I think of somebody who isn't immediately present I tend to view their height based on how much I respect them. People I have a low opinion of I tend to think of as short while people I respect seem tall to me. Anyone else think that way?

This is called unconscious bias. You may think it's harmless but it actually colors your interactions with the vertically challenged and we can tell.

I encourage you to challenge this bias within yourself and work towards understanding how height does matter in this world. I wish you well on your journey.

Now this isn't really fair, we gotta be clear about what short people we are talking about here. Not all of them have hairy feet, those are only halflings/hobbits.

yeah it was decided that the best height is 5' 11". tall enough to not be called a lil short guy but also not so tall that you look like a freak or have trouble fitting in showers

as someone who is 5'11 everyone assumes youre a loving liar and youre really like 5'5 and trying to trick them. my brother who is 6' even gets the same poo poo. so now i just tell everyone im 5'2 so when they see me their like wtf thats 5'2?

Short people advantages:

Always down-to-earth
Never have their head in the clouds
You can count on them to always speak up
They always look up to you
You can stoop to their level but they can't stoop to yours

Short people end up inadvertently inhaling a lot of farts. This can be an advantage or a disadvantage depending on the person.

absolutely yes. compound lifts are best. the "big 4" classic lifts you can't go wrong with (dead, bench, press, squat). there's no such thing as too much lift. add to your lift until you can lift the earth above your head. great question smug
