Lives not worth living

Ohio9

I'm 6ft0.5 and everyone at work is towering over me 6ft2 - 6ft9.
Did some research and it seems that literally everywhere the royal families are superior height.
Meaning = I am predetermined to be a plebian forever.
There was a visit of the shareholders recently and of course they're all 6ft4 and above and I look like a manchild.

It looks like my future is predermined. I do not feel happy being a working class plebian forever and might as well end it all and hope to be reborn as someone with better height.

This is something I have no control over and it seems to have a large effect on your career. Here is some proof:

I'm condemned to suffer in my life as a manlet. I guess I got dealt the wrong card. Great luck.

Cool story bro

beerguts

May I suggest taking up Internet porn as a hobby. It may put a stop to thoughts like this if coupled with a chronic masturbation habit.

No promises it will work

Also considering leg extension surgery.

Live tall: die young (a life not worth living).

Men of height 175.3 cm (not very tall) or less lived an average of 4.95 years longer than those of height over 175.3 cm.
While men of height 170.2 cm or less (which is very short) lived 7.46 years longer than those of at least 182.9 cm

You never see any old ex-basketball players, they are at higher risk of various cancers, one bad trip or fall, it lights out.

Poor Uncle Tom

I hope the schools are back soon.....

Am going mad for a coffee or custard slice, the shops near me that sell them always have big queues. What I'd do to one of them now, I hold, it lick, and then I'd show it who was the boss

I don't want to be a killjoy but its a fact tall people have there heads in the clouds, to much air up there. Hence they come out with stupid posts etc etc. Case closed

10pennymixup

I'm 5ft 10 ish, (haven't bothered to measure myself in years), and no one has ever "towered" over me. Not even those taller than me

It's a state of mind, you just feel inferior that's all.

AMKC

I am 5FT 9 and would not want to be any taller. If you want to be taller OP there is a simple and cheap solution just wear heels. A pair of 4'' heels will make you 6ft 4'' and 6'' heel 6ft 6'' there you go problem solved. Once you start wearing heels you will never want to wear flats again. Its like a drug.

Leg End Reject

How many lives has the OP got? Surely one of them is worth living?

jimgoose

The music on that Kia radio ad reminds me of Christmas something fierce. OP, unless you are a Predator, 6' 0.5'' is grand. Your workmates are freakishly tall.

biko

I'm 8 feet tall, it's not all it's cracked up to be OP.

Bollox!
I'd already resigned myself to the statistical chances of me outliving wife no.2 being low!

But fúck me! Who knew it was my being 195cm tall that would do me...
Not the Diabetes Or my penchant for stupidity and fast living :P

As a tallish chap I've taken a few tumbles and trips over the years but just got straight back up again and can still shoot hoops.

Maybe I have a cancer immunity?

Your Face

All the head honchos in my company are quite short.
Doesn't mean anything.

KungPao

Well, my idol Adolf Hitler was the same height as myself. Just an average man who did extraordinary things. He rose to the top of the pile, was the head honcho of the Third Reich.

Sure it went a bit belly up in the end. But didn’t he do well?

biko

Kim Jong-il was only 5'3 feet tall but achieved great things

Potential-Monke

I'm only 5'6" and I've achieved... well, i'm still alive at 36 so that's something. And I've never hit my head off the top of a doorframe!

I did have a complex about my size when I was younger, always getting picked on, never getting selected in sports, the usual bullying stuff (and a ginger to boot, oh what a target I was). Got over it in my mid-20's when I realised it wasn't just the bullies that were the pricks, everyone is a prick, just some pricks are nicer than others.

Now I'm not so sure, if you think 6' is small, considering the average height in Ireland for a male is 5'9". You're above average OP.

You might be Ireland's answer to The Highlander they call Magic Johnson.

JupiterKid

6’ 0.5” myself OP, and for a man of my generation (that’s middle-aged “Generation X”) I’ve always been happy at my height and slightly taller than most blokes...

I've no doubt some in the queues would enjoy being licked as you described. But others would rightly call the Covid19 police.

ah it is Ted. have a nice cup of tea.
