    lol I saw a SubwayTake on that, a girl was claiming short guys had it easier than tall girls and the claim was guys just needed to be rich.

    It’s like … yes, being a tall girl can suck but why you need to bring down another group for …?

      That woman sounds like the worst, insecure, mean, and self centered. I’m 6 feet btw I just know that short guys is the male equivalent of a girl that fat.

      Being tall sucks in general. I’ve rented a couple places where the cabinets were a bit lower… perfect for me to hit my head on the corners. I’m not that tall either. And some cars… would break my neck, a nice 1-2 inches of space between my head and the top. That’s why I don’t like compact cars coffins. Like the Fiat cars, nope.

        I think being tall can vary how tall you are and where you live. I think my friend is 6 foot and he’s in Japan and Vietnam and he loves the place but it’s not very easy to find clothes and has to crook his neck at doors. However, I’d like to think in Norway or Sweden or wherever the average height is fairly tall that it’d be more suitable for the vertically gifted. I think for the really tall that even things like cooking can suck cause they gotta hunch over. I remember seeing one fairly tall dude on TopChef and I can see his future back pains coming with al the hunching …

          Oh man… I hit my head so many times in doorways in Japan. And that’s not the kind of places you have to bow to enter. Just the places I stayed in. And the cooking, even washing dishes, is just torture. I’ve gotten in the habit of sitting on a chair to do that stuff.

      When a tall girl gets bullied for being tall, she has a massive advantage with the reach.

      The short guy does have access to more escape routes though as long as you’re not trying to hop fences.

        And, if the Brady Brunch has taught us anything, being small can help save your life if you happen to be stuck in a freezer with only a small window to crawl out of.

            Yes, I’ve never been in a walk in freezer with a window. They’re always four insulated walls. But obviously it wouldn’t worked for the series to have killed two children mid-season like that.
