I’ve seen people consider even 5’7" as short for some reason so i’m curious if it has happened with someone
I lucked out into being born 5’10, not tall enough to need special clothes, but short enough so the shallow “6ft or nothing” women self filter themselves and I don’t have to deal with them myself. I had a buddy who was 5’4ish who was an absolute disgusting human being but always blamed being alone on his height, also have a buddy who 5’2ish and married to an absolutely wonderful woman
I lucked out into being born 5’10,
RIP mom
Only two ladies didn’t like my height lying down
HEYOOOOO
… Out of two
HEEYYOOOOOO
I was once rejected for being too tall. I’m 1.96m (~6’5") and she was ~ 1.65m (~5’5"), said that she didn’t like the thought of having to crane her neck to see my face.
Is that a problem I’m too tall to understand?
Being 205cm (6’9"), yeah what kinda problem is that? Now let me go tend to the bump on my head from running into a doorframe again
At a mere 6’5" over here, how do these examples make you feel?
Bus seat, airplane seat, powered car seat, Toyota RAV4.
rolls on the floor crying
Fuck that, how expensive are your shoes?
it’s fine I only have a 47 (13.5) so I can still buy them in regular stores. usually around 50€ if it is everyday wear1
I’m at 13 and have a hard time with availability in stores sometimes. I’m so glad they didn’t get any bigger than that.
P.S. thanks for the translation.
Once you know what brand you like, you can usually get them online pretty easily. That’s what I do most of the time nowadays
You should check out the Dara o Briain comedy bit about buying size 13 shoes.
Laughs in back and knee pain
ive never Been rejected, (i dont ASK people out)
Same, I just awkwardly glance at them few times of I like them and hope they will ask me out. So far nobody asked me out.
That’s the spirit!
Someone cracked the code i think
I’m a 5’7 woman. Yes, I’ve been rejected a couple times because I’m on the taller side.
Wait really? Are you straight? I’d be really surprised any guys would think 5’7 is too tall.
I am straight. Some men just enjoy shorter women.
I thought this thread was talking about applying for jobs and was so confused
Yes. I am 1,70 and got rejected for being too small. Well. It happens.
Yeah, most awkward job interview I have ever had
I (woman, 5’10") was dumped for being too tall.
Condolences my dude.
dudette, I think
Is dude not back to being gender neutral again? What are we going with?
now that you say, I’m not sure anymore
Can be agender, can be a gender.
Fuck dudes, hanging with the dudes, “… Duude…”, “sex with dudes”
Same with bro or man. Also, progressively, defaults shouldn’t be masculine and people shouldn’t push that narrative.
Like, “I like having sex with multiple dudes at the same time”, but, also, my gf is not a dude, dude.
But ALSO to complicate things further, sometimes chicks ARE dudes or bros just because they want to be and that’s okay. And the more you think about that sentence the more your brain will hurt.
I dunno. Just… Don’t be a dickhead and respect people, and it’s probably fine. “Gotta know the rules before you break the rules.”
I think it might be dependent on context, unfortunately/confusingly.
Would you have sex with a dude? If yes then it’s fine
That’s one hell of a standard
Why? If dude is gender neutral, then you should be comfortable using the phrase “I’d have sex with that dude”.
I’d say it’s a expression that does have gender associations, but it’s not offensive or anything to call a woman dude in the right context. If anything it is usually used as a gesture of camaraderie, in this case because a woman has suffered in a way that men can understand.
Reading the thread. Most of you guys are not THAT short lol. I actually married my guy who is 5’1". He has a nice smile, funny and smart.
He has told me unfortunately that he has often been declined often by women due to his height. We have asked our mutual friends who said they won’t date someone who is that short which is unfortunate because they all love him too.
He’s pretty confident, professional, so people from work finally meet him in person, they are surprised he is not taller.
No but then women tend to get a pass for being short. I don’t have much going for me so I feel the shortness lends me a bit of cuteness. I’m fun-sized!
Everyone is tall compared to me so it’s kinda funny that I ended up with a guy who’s actually tall to everyone else too (6’1).
Edit: 5’1
too many people based it on porn standards, 6’+ and 7-10inches long.
Yes. Rejected to ride on the adult-sized go karts. Has to ride the kiddie bumper cars instead. But this was when I was younger.
Regularly throughout my life. I’m also 5’7". It seems to be less of an issue now that I’m older. People are going to like what they like. But people who limit their choices to strict deterministic traits tend to completely skip right over awesome people, and then they wonder why they’re partners are so terrible.
So yeah, this shit is going to happen. You’ll also get chosen for your height. Focus on improving those physical traits over which you have control.
Weird; I mean, I know it’s anicdotal but I’m 5’6" and I’ve never had anyone so much as even mention my height (maybe when around other men when I was younger once or twice but the bulk of my friends have always been more women such that I don’t truly remember).
I guess it doesn’t really contribute to the thread but I was just genuinely surprised at such a difference of experience.
But people who limit their choices to strict deterministic traits tend to completely skip right over awesome people, and then they wonder why they’re partners are so terrible.
True as Hell, though.
