I know huh.
I had an uncle who was barely 5' tall.
He was the tallest man in any room.
He commanded the space he was in.
It always totally amazed me.
He was Hero-like to me.
I tried to figure it out all the time I knew him.
In the end, it was just that he was exactly
who he was, snug in his own skin, so secure that it..
emanated from him..he had a steady gaze, he always
listened intently, never interrupted, always looked
interested..all in a calm cool manner that draped
around you, and gave you, as a person, comfort.

Everyone around him was aware of it, they rather
deferred to him, I was always in awe of him
and miss him.

Hey, we are all the same height when lying down.

Interesting. I dated about two women
who were not taller than me. All
others were taller.

I am now thinking about heightening.
I haven't had a date in 14 years.

So now I think I will buy those
Miranda Lakoshewitch Jet Propolsion
Balette shoes that keep you about
four inches above the surface any
place you walk.

Or maybe go for an inflatable doll
shoe, which is filled with helium,
and I never have to get down to
earth, but the problem is that due
to balancing difficulties, the
wearer of these shoes must spend
the rest of their lives upside down.

Also, there is the self-jack
bootstrap, the "cow-lick top-of-the
-head tallening" hairdo, and the
schythe method, or sickle-and-hammer
method, which requires the user to
carry a scythe and cut all those who
are taller than him off at the knee.

My mother wants to talk me into religion
or politics, because she keeps saying
that uncle Harry gained five inches
in height through prayer, in the
court of King Henry the VII, and
that our aunt Princess Audrey got
her husband to surpsass her height by
entering politics. Sort of like
reducing the effect of stuttering,
like by King George V, in the movie
"The King's Speech".

Yeah, king George V, the Peach king.

The French got their Sun King,
the English got their king
George V, the Cat's Miau King.

Yes, I would. Height is not a big issue with me.

I will let you know after I go out with Navygal. Don't tell her though. I haven't asked her yet.

Yeah, we short guys are good at it.

I command the space I am in, too.

I can **** in my pants
or barf in my underwear
any time I choose to.

Furhtermore, I am in such
high command of the space
I am in, that noone else
can occupy the same space
at the same time
as me.

If they want to be in the
same space, they have to
push me outta there, which
they usually do, with ease.

Some only have to growl
or flex an earlobe-muscle,
and I'm outta there.
Very fast.

Was this the same uncle
who, when his new bride
asked him to clear the
table after their first
meal at home,
cleard the table
by pushing the entire
setting on the dining
room floor?

I am sorry,
Soufie here, but your
relatives and I
probably would not get
along too well.

I like you to pieces,
and I think very highly
of you, but your assorted
uncles don't agree with my
taste of how a man should
behave.

I am getting to suspect
that you hate the "short
man's denial syndrome"
so much because you've
seen it galore in the
behaviour of your uncles.
You admire those uncles
because you never had to
date them. However, a man
who is exactly the same in
behaviour, demeanor and
outlook as any one of your
uncles, would never get
from you the time of day
only jeers, if he is lucky.

Well. Depends on whether the flagpole is "up" or "down".

Also, stomach size makes a difference. I walk tall when I am lying down.

as witt many items like this topic. I could care less as long as he is about my height or taller. there are so many things so much more important

and I have met several men who are adorable in the 5-6-5-9 range

I'm only 5-5 so I guess that means I have many many options

if you gals don't want them, send them my way

I love to cook for a good man

would love to date a tall woman.

good one David!

If someone is that shallow to worry about haw tall U are or arent then I wouldnt wanna date U!!

I'm only 5'4 and wouldn't mind dating someone that's taller than me at all as long as I like their personality. And this "Short Guy syndrome" isn't real lol. It's someones personality going along with them being short, the guy would find something else wrong if he didn't have the height thing to complain about. I've been shorter than most people my whole life and I'm used to it, I like the way I am and if other people don't that's really not my problem. I'm a nice guy and treat everyone with respect so if height is all that matters to someone, then they really aren't someone I'd want to date anyway. I wouldn't care if someone is 7 foot tall as long as we're happy together.

I wouldn’t date someone noticeably shorter. An inch or two shorter wouldn’t be a problem

Ah; you are only two inches shorter than me. I dated a guy 4 inches shorter so no problem.

Foot stools are pretty nifty.

At 5'2'' I can't say that I've ever had this problem lol

I tried but as it turns out i think it bothered him more than me. He stopped calling me. And I know he mentioned it a lot.

Psssssttttttt......

Come over here.....and stand on this....stool....Please!!

Foot stools and foot tools are all pretty nifty. I mean foot-long like hot dogs.

Hot diggity dog.
