In high school this guy had a crush on me and he was only 2' taller than me. He was cute but got picked on all the time. Now he's a police officer and busts their ***** every day. Damn, I wish I hadn't moved. Karma is a *****!

Okay. I concede. Maybe I am not good enough to handle you.

But how does a guy know what a stranger can do with a girl? 'You won`t be able to handle her, LOL.' Where the heck does he get his knowledge, and his seemingly absolute and unassailable assurance that he's right? that's what I want to know.

This sort of thing irks me. The automatic assumption of personal superiority, the automatic entitlement of the right to condescend to someone else, AND especially in such a matter that can only be decided empirically, not a priori. (I.e. you have to go for it and try it, nobody can predict with the available information what would happen.)

i've been there.being i'm only 5'8 and i'm skinny,i'm a magnet for people wanting to start crap.it seems to be worse from my own family because i guess they think since they are family,that i won't try to defend myself but that doesn't stop me.


i've gotten quite used to people talking **** though because i was bullied pretty bad in high school due to my size.

Sounds like that guy need to compensate himself for qualities that are missing. The best way to be the bigger man is to walk away and let him be the jack.

At age 16-17 I was a skinny boy (about 150 lbs) and I was picked on in the high school all the time. Not speaking much english was just another reason.

10 years later, with 6 years in the military and being 200lbs, I have met a few guys who used to pick on me, now suddenly I'm the guy to buy the drink for.

Short People
Randy Newman


Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
To live

They got little hands
And little eyes
And they walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little fett

Well, I don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Round here

Short People are just the same
As you and I
(A Fool Such As I)
All men are brothers
Until the day they die
(It's A Wonderful World)

Short People got nobody
Short People got nobody
Short People got nobody
To love

They got little baby legs
And they stand so low
You got to pick 'em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That got beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin' peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
They're gonna get you every time
Well, I don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
'Round here

So I'm @ the bar the other night and some prick
Who stood over 6' wnts to **** w/me who stands 5'4"
And I bust his *** open. He had to get 10 stiches on his
Eye lid and I broke his nose. I wasn't lookin for trouble
Just a good time. So why is it you people pick on the little giy?
This is not the first time this has happened but I hopeit is the last.
So please indulge me and teachg me how to cope w/ these *** holes.




You want to know how to cope with them? Next time, just walk away.

I agree, fighting is for chumps and very immature...

Learn to defuse the situation and no you dont have to fight anyone, unless you are being mugged or something and well you do what ya gotta do. But a bar fight, come on, as you get older and wiser, it just never happens.

Maybe evaluate where you hang out and the types of people you hang out with. There in lies the problem.

You dont ever have to raise your voice or fist to be a tough guy.

:thumbsup: agreed. First husband was 6'4" and guys would try to get him to intercede on their part once they started fighting. He never would and I always respected him for it. Second husband was 5'6" and always seemed to have a complex about guys looking at him a certain way, etc. I just didn't see it. I've dated several guys that were short and they seem a lot quicker to fight. Maybe it's because they were picked on when they were young...I don't know.

I never started a fight in my life but i ended a few. Most of the time they will not let you just walk away unless you want to hit in the back.

Not to take anything away from your original thought process, BUT , I am 6'6" and am CONSTANTLY defusing situations where someone ALWAYS wants to "bust up " the biggest they can find..... I feel for you dude :thumbsup:

I always had issues at the bar because I always had my Liberty Spikes up, yet I never got into a fight because I walked away or defused the situation (more often than not I just walked away and ignored them, can't defuse drunks so easily). I haven't been in a fight since I was in high school, honestly, I don't like fighting.
