My friend lied about her boyfriend's height

So this is something I want to vent about. My friend, who is all about being true, and sticking to her core lied. Her boyfriend is 5'6 maybe 5'7. Real sweet guy and gives her the world. Her parents live out of state and brought up meeting him. They have been seeing each other for like 3 months, so it isn't serious yet. Well she had them on speaker phone and was giggling away while her mom asked her questions. She asked the height question and she said idk like dad's height... Which he is easily 6ft. I met him! Why would she lie? I don't get it.

Lets get positive

And I don't mean with STD's. lol Name something that you have better because you aren't tall.

I was on a plane and I fit great with plenty of leg room while the man next to me, 6'+ complained the whole time.

What makes a man.. Manly?

I am curious to see what you all, as men, say. My boyfriend and I were talking about this the other day and he said a lot of people who say "tall" and muscular as two traits.

This bimbo...

I work with this woman named Sue. She is 24, very attractive, nice body, beautiful hair, the whole ten yards. She is about 5'6 and is the tallest woman there. As you can see, we are the same height. When she first started working here she was engaged to some 6'4 giant of a man who was in the D leagues for the NBA. The split up when he had to get moved to another team. 

Long story short, I asked her out on a date a few months after they split and she said she wasn't ready. A week later, she had a boyfriend again. A few months after, she was engaged again. And just 3 months ago they split up. For the heck of it, I asked her out again last week. Again, she said she wasn't ready. This was last tuesday. Now it is Monday and she has a boyfriend again. WTH is up with this bimbo? You ever known someone to be in and out of relationships so dang fast?

I see it more in movies

I never paid attention but short men with equal to taller height women are in a lot of movies. Most of them are comedy themed or they are action type films. My friend said they need men and women actors to be closer to the same height in action films to save money. This is why movies like Mission Impossible have actors all around 5'7 to 5'10 and the Transporter is the same way. Never thought of it like that.

Does more muscle make you look shorter?

I know two guys. They are the same height, about 5'10 each. One is thin, like 28 inch waist or so. The other is about like 34... He has bigger arms and legs as well. When I see them next to each other, the thinner dude looks taller for some reason, even though I know he isn't.

Been using kettlebells.

I wanted to share that I have been using them, well, rather one (20 pounds) for about a week and I am already seeing changing happening in my body. I think I put on a bit of muscle already and I look more toned.

I am pissed

So I went into a clothing store earlier, looking for a gift for a friend. Well the dude at the register kept making faces at me when I was looking at these shirts. I picked a few out and wanted to get the heck out of there. After checking out I overheard him tell the woman working with him in his gay girly balls up his ass voice "those shirts are going to be dresses on that tiny man" and he giggled. What the hell gives him the right to assume crap like this? Ugggg I am so sick of these uppity sexually confused she-men around here that have to put others down because their own father wanted nothing to do with them.

Melissa McCarthy's husband

I love this gal and find her hilarious. She is one of the few bigger women that I think carries herself well for her size. I never knew she was married and found out she stands 5'3... and so does her husband. Now I want to debate something that may sound mean... Do you think if he was 5'9+ he would still have started dating a woman her size?

Apt 9

I have been looking into this brand lately. A friend gave me some old clothes and quite a few shirts were this brand and they fit amazingly well on me and I am only 5'4. Nothing is super long and it feels well fitted to my size. Check them out guys.

"Help! My child is taller than me"

http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/aug/08/help-my-child-is-taller-than-me

 

I am not sure how I feel about this article. It almost makes a joke of heightism.

"Alexis is three inches taller than me so far – she overtook me suddenly last year and I couldn’t be more delighted. It’s quite funny at times, trying to be in “serious mum mode” when you’re looking up. Other times, it’s useful. Alexis can open the security lock on the back door and I can’t – but she can also reach the sweetie jar in the kitchen and I can’t, which is not good, is it?”"

Would you date a woman under 4'9?

My friend asked me this question and I said yeah why not if I find her attractive and she is a sweet person. Then he goes, you know 4'9 and under is a midget right? I never heard this. I figured I would ask you fells on here. I see a lot of little women who are beauitful in their own way.

Random thoughts with God and height

So I am not big into the bible or anything but God/Jesus has taught us that we too should look unto someone's heart not their physical appearance when looking at strength and such. I feel like this is one of the best lessons in that book because it shows us that the way we appear on the outside should not matter as much as it does in this world.

How far does heightism go back?

Well I really can't say but I would imagine it has gotten worse then ever over the last 50 or so years. The jokes, the laughs, the sterotyping ect.
