I can’t believe so many men are insecure about being me. I’m me and it’s pretty damn cool. The feeling of fresh grass on my chin in the spring… the cover of mushrooms when it rains… the company of leprechauns… I see only pros and no cons
I’m 6’3 and tall to most people, but fit under most doors just fine.
Basement stairs can fuck right off though I’ve done that lotsa times and it managed to be a surprising painful thing every time.
Also I think I’d laugh if someone said and if the short guy things to me, I get called things like string bean and “big guy” by bros who don’t know me.
Oh yes…in some buildings, where the ceiling is very close to my head, I feel very cramped and hate it.
Had to move through cellars where I had to basically crouch. Ugh.
Actually I just remembered one minus: tall people are used to not bumping their head on low things. Once I was visiting a museum where they have an old house with really low door ways, low even for me and I was constantly knocking my head because I am not used to having to crouch.
Hehe, yeah. i have that as a reflex. ducking whenever i go through a door. because i bumped my cute lil bald head way too often and learned the hard way :)
But given the choice, I’d rather be shorter. like 1,6m or so. That’d be optimal.
You missed the “everyone thinks you are there just to reach things for them”. Women in particular seem to feel entitled to my reach. The few men that ask are either walking with a cane or sitting in a wheelchair.
Even my Wife, 5"4"/163cm has no problem interrupting me from whatever I’m doing to reach things for her. Despite having 3 step stools in the house just for her.
But if it gets to be too much of a hassle and pisses me off, I start asking her to pick things up off the floor for me because she’s closer to it. She then has a fit because I’m making fun of her height, and then she stops asking me-- for a while.
Oh yes…if I’m alone noone ever talks to me (resting bitch-face-syndrome), but when I’m shopping with wifey, I get asked at least once per trip to fetch shit off a shelf.
But also yes, exclusively women or handicapped men. A “normal” guy would probably rather die than ask another guy for help.
Wifey rarely asks though, she actually prefers a step-stool or whatever before asking for help.
I don’t think a lot of men are insecure about 5’4. I think it’s more the 5’7 to 5’11 guys that are insecure. Better to be abnormally short than average.
I’m 165cm (5’4")
Everything I say is a short guy thing to say

Ya but I bet you’ve never felt the abrupt bliss of donking your head on a doorframe.
That dude doesn’t even know the pleasure of having his knees jammed into the seat in front of him on a plane.
He’s never seen the top shelf either
It’s really dusty
Source - I’m tall and don’t dust things
I’m 5’3 and I’ve seen plenty of top shelves. I just have to climb shit to do it.
At least you’re retaining our ancestorial skillset.

have you ever been to europe?
Yes. In Spain I’m a giant and in the Netherlands I’m a dwarflet.
I meant door frames of very old buildings
Does it count if you’re running into a vehicle side mirror instead of a doorframe?
Lol. But here, have some actually great benefits I wish I had:
But there are also benefits…like having a better oversight over crowds and. Err…yes.
Here’s more benefits:
Wait, what was the topic again?
Rock and stone
I lold at the last one 😁
But seriously…beside the silly “men shall be tall” (why even? To protect others from lions?) There aren’t many benefits to being taller than average.
And my largest downside: I’d love a woman that’s taller than me. But there aren’t many…
Seriously the biggest benefit is that I always fit in places and never feel cramped

Another benefit is slightly longer lifespan as the heart doesn’t need to work as hard for blood to travel as much distance.
Phhht it’s not that much of a diffe…ugh…😵

No cons except leprechauns.
That’s very big of you!
That’s such a short guy thing to say.
You learn to cope or you get mad. I’m glad you coped with being Frodo’s brother.
