Stovepipe hats seem so ridiculous.

Petit_Merdeux: AverageAmericanGuy: Stovepipe hats seem so ridiculous.

Compensation.

No, defense against big hyenas

Slaxl: I like threads with lots of zeros.

So why not just put the tallest man in politics up for running and give him a big hat and platform shoes? Put the idea to the test.

I think this strategy just might work.

So, how do I get one of those jobs where you just make stuff up.

pkellmey: So, how do I get one of those jobs where you just make stuff up.

Simple. Run for the Republican presidential nomination.

You run a pretty good campaign, boy.

Yes, not fair but true.

One time in Vegas, I was just standing there and a pretty woman came up and said, "You're tall"
You don't even have to try sometimes.

And it's just weird, because it's not like I had any choice. (unless I cut off my limbs...)
But is it any weirder or fairer that women are chased for their boobs, butt, hair, eyes, etc???

Men are judged on their money, strength, voice, height, clothes and other factors.


/ability and merit are often VERY underrated.

She was a prostitute.

The vast majority of people don't see the president in person, and television is not very good at conveying somebody's height.

Well I'm boned.

WorldCitizen: dletter: So, how did we ever take Bachmann seriously... or is that only for guys?

We took Bachmann seriously?

It works for women, too, up to a point. I'm 5'10" which is tall but not Godzilla size, and people tend to take me more seriously/assume I have authority, and definitely respect my space a lot more than my shorter friends. On the downside, people are also more standoffish with me, assuming I'm a lot less friendly or way more serious than I actually am, despite the fact that I am goofy as hell. It's good from a career perspective - I can definitely project presence - but it does put up barriers to getting to know people.

On the other hand, I have a friend who is 6'3" and she is basically treated like shiat. Guys will often treat her like a fetish object, kids will point and stare, etc. Random people will just come up and ask her if she can dunk and shiat like that. Good for her though - she'll wear heels just to really add it on because fark haters.

Maybe not so much

You guys know early humans never lived in caves, right?

I thought they did, otherwise, it'd make the Lascaux caves (and other sites of cave painting) very odd.

Those were art galleries

HA! baaa dumm tsssssk

WorldCitizen: PanicMan: Well I'm boned.

Yes, I think there was also some study showing shorter men are more likely to bottom.

Well, I am pretty lazy.

One of these Men is 6'0 the other is a little bit taller...

"Some traits and instincts that may have been acquired through evolution continue to manifest themselves in modern life, seemingly irrationally," study researcher Gregg R. Murray of Texas Tech University said in a statement...

Gregg sounds short. And he compensates by spelling Greg with two gee's.

Eh, Gregg is probably his mom's maiden name.

Or he's related to this guy.

Which man? Teller is 5'9".

I've heard Penn on his podcast (and other interviews) say Teller is 6'0.

I don't like your tone, subby.

There are three.

Lewdux is right. They didn't live in Lascaux. They went down there for ceremonies and shiat.

He'll kick you in half.

He'll save children, but not the British children.

Maybe all those times they bang their heads on low objects induced the sociopathy which assisted in climbing the power ladder.

At 5'8" there are already way too many low hanging objects that seem designed just to take out my forehead. I don't want to k ow what it would be like for someone 6'4 or taller.
