I hate being a tall man in a small world

I must say that I wish I was a bit shorter. When you are 6'6", you have a tendancy to get noticed. I don't like being stared at, or examined, because it makes me want to yell obscenities... or maybe it's that I just don't like the puzzled look I detect in so many people's faces when they're studying me. I despise being asked if I play basketball, and I hate the subconscious assumption that if you are tall, you are naturally superior in EVERY physical aspect, and if you fall short of this you're a freak of nature, or even more of a freak of nature than being extra tall makes you. People expect you to either be a greek olympian or an all-powerful ox. I hate dealing with short people who have Napoleon complexes and feel the need to prove something when dealing with me. I can only argue so long before I feel like breaking a bottle over their head. I hate getting kicked in the head constantly by crowd surfers at concerts, and banging my head when getting into buses or going through doorways. I have so few brain cells as it is! I hate never knowing if a girl is looking at me because she thinks I'm cute, or because she thinks I'm tall, menacing, and disturbing-looking... and god help me, I've met a lot of women who argue both sides of that one! I'm confused by the fact that I can never find a girl my height, and the ones closest in height don't seem interested in a taller guy... but I have no trouble attracting girls in the 4'11" to 5'4" range. I hate that I have big feet holding up my big body, and they don't even fit properly on 99% of the stairs that exist in this world, so I have to use my tippy toes, and pray I don't land on my ass when climbing stairs drunk. I hate that all my clothing seems too small, even though I bought the largest size shirts or pant lengths, and I don't even use a dryer anymore for my clothes I just air dry it after washing it in cold water and it still looks TOO FUCKING SMALL... my sleeves go up to my elbows, my pants crawl up my ankles when I sit.... it's like a horrible joke. And sorry, I'm not rich enough to get new clothes every three weeks. I go to big and tall stores and most of the shit makes me look like I'm a forty year old man with a 15 year old's head... I admire people with medium size bodies who can go to a thrift store and find shit that fits them fine, and god forbid, might even be a bit BIG on them! I hate that I feel like a giant when I try and sit in airplane seats, or college desks, or the backseat of cars. This world was not designed for me, and I'm not rich enough to spend money trying to redesign it for myself.

Wow, I feel better. Hate is such a strong word, and I try not to use it, but this one's been building a while. I know, it could be worse. I could be six foot SEVEN.

i thought i was a short person in a tall persons world.

― di smith (lucylurex), Saturday, 12 April 2003 05:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Maybe it's just an average person's world so we're both screwed.

― The Man they call Dan (The Man they call Dan), Saturday, 12 April 2003 17:25 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm average in almost every regard - especially physically (except for my exceptionally long and thick eyelashes) - and i don't particularly enjoy living...

― Clare (not entirely unhappy), Sunday, 13 April 2003 00:02 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm sorry Clare. Maybe you should try shampooing with Tres Emme.

― The Man they call Dan (The Man they call Dan), Sunday, 13 April 2003 01:07 (twenty-two years ago)

maybe i should try that...but right now i'm eating a particularly good bean sprout, tomato, chutney and cheese sandwich, which is making everything quite quite good...

― Clare (not entirely unhappy), Sunday, 13 April 2003 02:22 (twenty-two years ago)

That sounds quite healthy. I could go for something like that if it was surved in pita bread, with a skim of mayo...

― The Man they call Dan (The Man they call Dan), Sunday, 13 April 2003 04:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I am 5'2''. I am short person in a n average person's world... but I like being short cause then everyone likes to protect me... I get picked up and carried a lot and it's actually quite fun... maybe some people might find it a bit degrading...but I love it. My friend it 6'5'' and he's from Chile. He pickes me up as you would a small child and holds me on his hip. It's quite fun! As for the sandwiches, give me avocado and sprouts anyday man!

― Lola Falana, Sunday, 13 April 2003 17:30 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm 5'3", and i like being short, except that they put all the cheap Haagen beer on the top shelf in the supermarket and its really hard to reach.

― di smith (lucylurex), Sunday, 13 April 2003 23:42 (twenty-two years ago)

I like tall men. Where are you, Dan?
;^}

(I'm 5'7", and for some reason most of the guys I meet are barely that tall, if not shorter.)

― j.lu (j.lu), Monday, 14 April 2003 03:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Umm... I'm guessing about at least a thousand miles away from you, because that's how it usually goes.

All the guys are 5'7" or shorter? Damn, i guess they grow 'em big where I'm at...

By like 1/2 an inch. Be sure and carve THAT on yr gravestone.

Actually that would be a really funny epitaph, aren't you buried in the Waikato somehwere?

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Saturday, 15 November 2003 00:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Don't sound so excited, I'm taller than Andrew too. By like 3 inches, so there.

― Livvie (Livvie), Saturday, 15 November 2003 02:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah but you're freakishly elongated, so that doesn't count.

― Minty (Minty), Saturday, 15 November 2003 04:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Carving "I'm taller than Andrew" on my gravestone might be taking it a bit far, Roo. Having said that, I'm definitely printing myself a certificate for my wall.

I like to kiss/hug/etc people who are around the same height as me

― cuspidorian (cuspidorian), Friday, 21 November 2003 02:36 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm too tall to hug anyone comfortably, I always get a shoulder in my tits or something equally painful. It's a bit depressing.

unregistered is that you? you don't look very tall and your world does not look small wtf

― я рилли (harbl), Sunday, 22 February 2009 16:28 (sixteen years ago)

i think the large clock affects your perception of tall.

unregistered, you look v v familiar.

― class act, thanks bro (tehresa), Sunday, 22 February 2009 16:44 (sixteen years ago)

Not meee! It's some random flickr dude who answers to the search terms "clock tourist." If Clock Tourist feels dwarfed or humbled by the size of the clock, then he doesn't show it. He exudes a quite confidence -- "I am tall, I have toured bigger clocks than this, everything is relative." When he gets home, he'll feel taller and prouder for marking off one more clock on his checklist, the way some guys feel more manly after notching their bedposts.

Is he familiar because he looks a bit like a gentler, turn-of-the-millennium Henry Rollins?

― blimey (unregistered), Sunday, 22 February 2009 19:28 (sixteen years ago)

he really does look familiar to me too but i think there are millions of guys who look like him. i wonder why he's using a cane though, at his age. he looks about average height. it's good that he doesn't let his averageness bother him.

― я рилли (harbl), Sunday, 22 February 2009 19:37 (sixteen years ago)

i think he looks like matt dc + someone else.
perhaps he had a clock injury that made it painful to walk.

― class act, thanks bro (tehresa), Sunday, 22 February 2009 19:38 (sixteen years ago)

Ah, so it's an umbrella, apparently. I still say he's at least 5'11", with or without an umbrella to prop himself up. Smartly-dressed 30-something dudes with square jaws and receding hairlines are pretty much all you ever see in certain upscale urban areas, so I can def understand why he reminds you of someone(s).

― blimey (unregistered), Sunday, 22 February 2009 19:52 (sixteen years ago)

are receding hairlines really common in upscale urban areas!? anyway i say you are not tall unless you are above 6'1". he is an average man in an average world

― я рилли (harbl), Sunday, 22 February 2009 19:58 (sixteen years ago)

and he is not a tall man with a large clock

― я рилли (harbl), Sunday, 22 February 2009 19:58 (sixteen years ago)

I'm just as much of a dupe as you are, and I beg your forgiveness. Tall men with large clocks, are they as rare in this day and age as quality felt hats and old-school chivalry? I wouldn't know a real one if I saw it. Well, Tehresa, I'm afraid we were both born a few generations too late.

also do you wear one of those smocks when you cook like that tall guy with a blue smock is wearing

If you learn how to use a wok in college, it ruins the experience of ordering cheap takeout thai food all the time. I wouldn't recommend it.

The worst thing about being tall is having to take a shower in a hotel. They are all designed for people that are 5' 8".

― calstars, Monday, 30 March 2015 00:33 (ten years ago)

i'm 6'8" and wouldn't mind having some of those cards

― ciderpress, Monday, 30 March 2015 00:41 (ten years ago)

I have a friend who's like 6'9" (very skinny type so he looks even taller) and we've had some conversations about that. for a long while he had many complexes and didn't feel comfortable with himself.
but at some point, around his 30s, he got OK with it and even began to have a kind of superiority complex on some aspects.
I remember feeling bad for him many times because the one thing everybody would talk about with him at parties, dinners etc was his height... must be so annoying...
On the other hand, sometimes I think it must be so great to be much taller than most people. when you're standing in a crowded metro, for instance, and you're fine and able to breath above !
still, as a much shorter person, sometimes I wonder how people who are taller or bigger manage with planes seats etc. I find them so small and uncomfortable even for my size...

Me too! And I hate that I feel that way but I'm used to being the tall one. It's not even miffed so much as surprised and OK a little miffed. My best friend is almost 5'11" and I feel like a shrimp around her. It's weird with heels because I pretty much always wear flats and if I do have a heel on people always say something. I'd wear heels more often but they hurt my feet!

Once while at my last job I met a man who I'd been working with over email for some time. He sought me out to introduce himself and the first thing he said to me was, "You're tall!" It was so strange because I am sort of but I'm not THAT tall. That said, he was pretty short.

How about being taller than the privacy dividers in the restroom stalls? Head all poking above the partition like a goddamn gopher when you stand up.

Apparently on dating sites it pays to state that you're tall

xpost - I'm not tall enough so that happens in regular sized stalls but one time years ago my friend and I did a bunch of bong hits and wound up in a bathroom that had been designed for kids only we didn't realize that at first and thought it was a bathroom of little people or elves and were in there for like 20 minutes talking over the stalls and kneeling to wash our hands while dying laughing and talking in what we decided elves voices sounded like.

In my own house, all of the bathroom mirrors are set up for my wife and son to see themselves, but I have to hunch over to catch a glimpse.

Short lady in Wake Med ICU lobby (where I’m visiting a friend who had a heart attack): “Excuse me, sir. Can I stand beside you for a minute?”
“Yes ma'am.”

Lady’s family all laughs.

Lady: “How tall are you?”
