    The String is 5' 7" but right enough is always surrounded by giants. Still a tenacious little fupper though.

    Napoleon complex? Small man syndrome?

    I'd ratger be Napoleon than

    ...Bono.

    At one stage they ran an experiment where they created numerous cardboard cutouts of the presenter; one his original height, another at 5'2", another at 5'5", then at 5'7", 6'0 and 6'2". Women were asked to place a sticker on the ones they found most attractive and they ended up exclusively on the two tallest models.

    Inconclusive! It could just be that he was an goddamn ugly bastid and that since his face was blown up more the bigger pix the resolution suffered making his puglike features blurrier and more softened.

    Yay.
    It's the Bono bandwagon again.

    Everyone get on.

    He was an ugly bast*rd but the blow was done professionally so if anything the bigger pics would have highlighted his ugliness to the ladies.

    Also, when you're smaller women can keep an eye on you easier. Very hard to sneak a peak. You have to master the art of staring into the middle distance.

    Ok then the only other possible explaination is that the bulge in his pants was bigger in the larger cut-outs. Women can be very particular about the size of a mans wallet.

    Agreed. Everyone on my basketball team says the same thing too.

    6 ft 4, chicks did the tallness, shorty.

    Chicks also dig lads who can string a sentence together properly. Frankenstein was a tall chap too, but you didn't see him beating the ladies off.

    Moral of the story: You're tallness will not guarantee you sex. Pighead strongly advises you learn our language Amazotheamazing, if you plan on forming relationships with our beautiful women.

    Who says I want relationships? You can pull women with the verbals Pighead, I'll just rely on my good looks.

    I guess he gave off a gay vibe. I mean, he was chased by many a man who carried a torch for him.

    That's true but let's not forget that he did get himself a bride. People said the two of them were so ideally matched that they must have been made for each other.

    Well, even Jaws off James Bond got a girl in the end, and he was as verbally dextrous as you are, so yeah you've got me there. But you can come around and sweep the cobwebs out of the high corners in my livin room if you like

    I'm 5' 4" (May actually be 5' 3" ;) ), a girl once told me the only reason she wouldn't go out with me was because she couldn't go out with anyone shorter than herself. Fuppin' bitch :mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,818 ✭✭✭Gauge


    I don't have a problem with short guys unless they suffer from Angry Overcompensating Short Man Syndrome, which is unattractive in itself :(

    You're actually angry? Think of it this way, saved you dating someone so shallow.

    On the other hand many exceedingly tall guys have a very arrogant approach to people, wrongly assuming that being tall makes you an authority on everything and makes you physically intimidating :rolleyes:

    Thankfully I view my 5' 7" height as fine for me :) I've never wished to be taller or smaller although a friend of mine in secondary school got the nickname "Titch" despite being slightly taller than me thanks to the fact that he went beserk anytime someone mentioned his short stature :D

    My wife is about an inch taller than me...until she puts on high heels :) If a woman is shallow enough to see height as an issue then that's her problem not mine or any shorter guy tbh.

    Interestingly, most of the tall guys I know are intimidated by men a few inches taller than them and almost terrified of tall women. I've grown up with being short so am never intimidated by height...and I'm never cramped on long flights or train journeys :D

    Are short guys attractive? Each to their own I suppose.

    You mean to be ginger-short-bred? Yes, that would be inconvenient.

    It doesn't matter as long as you have a big mickey.

    Seth Green is always entertaining:

    Italian Job
    Without a Paddle
    Austin Powers
    .. and as the voice of Chris Griffin

    He'd be eternally grateful if you did, you could sneak him into clubs for free in your handbag.

    I like tall girls, am 5'11'', one GF was around the same and taller in heels, didnt bother me, but I think it is because she it was the more unusual height. If I was 5foot and my GF was a normal height and bigger than me I wouldnt be impressed. Small lads usually end up with small GF's. I think it more odd when you have big & small couples, I always wonder what position they use, if in missionary the girl could be looking at the lads stomach! or vice versa for big girls, suppose some small lads enjoy a face full of tit.

    I don't find short guys attractive in general, but there are exceptions.
    For example, I am absolutely in love with Dermot O' Leary!

    My mickey used to be huge, but after the dog tore it up when I was a kid, I got a much smaller donald duck to replace it. At least I didnt get goofy, I hate that damn dog.
