Criteria to be considered short on this sub is anyone under 5'5" for women and anyone under 5'10" for men. To be tall on this sub is anybody over 5'8" for women and anyone over 6'1" for men. Both tall and short people face problems due to their height, like having clothes either too tall or short, seats being too short or tall, like some seats, short people cannot put their feet on the ground either completely or at all, and tall people have issues with airline seats being not enough room for their legs. Tall people cannot go to the showers without bumping their heads, and short people cannot reach high shelves. It is a sub where both tall and short people have issues due to their height.
I know u/theytookourjerbs and u/gloomy_bear are the same person, with the same tells and writing styles, with the same fascination of being "a somewhat-masculine female under 5'5 who still looks very feminine" and I know you're an extremely autistic female, but this still pisses me off.
I don't understand this. I am short AF at 5'11" (180 cm) and almost every guy I know is taller than that. Hell, even some teenage boys are taller than that. If you're a guy who's 5'10", or 5'11" (which is still short AF, honestly) or even 6'0" or 6'1", and you're neither short nor tall, then what the fuck are you, then? Nothing at all? I legit get SO MUCH SHIT for my height, mainly from women? I eventually gave up on them, although for reasons beyond just being short. Would I not be allowed to be frustrated in here?
Not just that, but you seem to be going off of modern 2020s North American/European standards of what is locally "tall and short" for Zoomers (adults under 30.) And not going off of universal homo sapien standards. Although there is no such thing as a median height for humans (at least, for the entire species; locally there are medians,) if you WANTED to go off of that, then adult homo sapien men have a "median" height of 184 cm, or a little over six feet. While homo sapien women are universally supposed to be 170 cm, or five-foot-seven. The reason so many are shorter than that, is due to the agricultural age decimating hunter-gatherers and general famine and disease shrinking most of the human population to the point only the Dutch and northern Europeans have caught back up to what human beings are literally supposed to be in terms of health (in this case, height.) Again, this is if you wanted to count 'median' heights.
But no. You seem to be going off of ONLY what Americans and European people are between 18-30, in the 2020s. Which in my opinion, is still short as fuck. 5'10" and 5'11" are REALLY fucking short for adult men. 6'0" would be "normal" and 6'1" would be slightly above normal. I'm just saying, I'm not getting leg-lengthening surgery for $30,000 because my shitty-ass midget motherfucking height of 180 cm is acceptable to literally any non-dwarf heterosexual woman out there, or is any way remotely positive for an "adult" male to be.
You're saying there's a point where people are neither "short" nor "tall." So you mean mediocrity. I think you are saying the people who aren't "tall" or "short" are mediocre genetically-valueless dogshit. Who the fuck would want to be mediocre dogshit, anyway? Objectively genetically useless. I guess, I don't believe in mediocrity. Even if I did, being mediocre worthless genetically throw-away dogshit and an objectively valueless human being, would be just as bad, if not worse, than short. It's all of the same negatives as being short, with literally none of the positives, like longer lifespan, cheaper clothes, faster speed, lighter weight, better health, etc.
Also, nobody gives tall people shit. Tall people are literally genetically superior. They have better health and are above the typical human being. Not saying it makes them "better people" by character, but genetically, they literally are better. Look at the Dutch. So really, WTF would complain about being tall? That's like complaining about being rich, or being pretty. First World "Problems," for sure. Being short though? Yeah, there's a reason there were so many suicides in r/short.
So yeah, I don't understand why this sub exists to highlight only some short people, but also imply tall people have any kind of difficulty in life either, while also implying being literally fucking genetically useless is some kind of "problem-free" zone. According to you, I'd either be "too tall" to be short, or a genetically worthless lifeform in the realm of "average." (Again, who the FUCK wants to be considered useless? That's what I think you're implying here, in regards to "no non-shorts and non-talls." Not that 5'11 isn't a woman's height, anyway.)
To recap all of this, to make it easier to understand:
- I consider 5'10" and 5'11" to be short for adult men (I'm not going by North American Zoomer statistics like you are.)
- Men who are that height get just as much shit in society as any other sub-six footer men. (Six feet being the bare minimum to not get disrespected as a man.) I'm living proof of it and I fucking HATE my height beyond all words.
- There's literally no positives or benefits in being objectively genetically worthless (what I imagine you refer to as "average.")
- Nobody gives tall people any problems, so there's no reason to even complain about it.
- Nobody gives women any shit for their height, anyway. (Women get judged on body shape/physique, not height. Men mostly get judged on being less than six feet, aka "inferior and worthless" in the eyes of women/society.)
It pisses me off that I can get shit from all of society for being genetically broken, but then have someone imply "Oh, because you're not 5'2, you have no right to complain or be upset about being genetically useless and unworthy of bearing children." That is all I have to say about this sub.
