How tall are you?
#22267124 - 09/20/15 09:20 PM (8 years, 4 months ago) |

I'm 5'8 going on 5'9 if I grow a bit more. I'm a Manlet but I'm still luckily taller than a few dudes here and there. For some reason every time I hit the club a lot of dudes are shorter than me which is weird. Because of my height I had some trouble with the ladies recently. I liked this sexy tall blonde babe who was 5'7 but she only dates dudes who are at least 6' so I was out of luck.
I have however been fortunate enough to get frisky and kiss a few girls who are a bit taller than me or are my height. So I hold no grudge against tall girls for not being into cuz of my height.

Honestly it doesn't matter how tall you are, unless your trying to be some calvin klein model. If the girl you meet likes you for you that is it. I'm not 6 foot and I can't even think about any girl I've hooked up with that was taller then me.
Generally women are pretty short and I'm def not attracted to tall girls. I'm sure there's some sexy tall girls just as there are sexy short ones. When I look at all my friends dads they are all pretty average dudes and aren't the tallest.
If you find someone shallow enough to say that they refuse to date someone under 6' then toss them to the curb. It's illogical and stupid. Many famous actors that are heartthrobs aren't really tall in reality.

I'm somewhere between 5 7" and 5 8", probably 5 8" - 5 9" with shoes on. Do I wish I was taller? Definitely. But, I do think it could be much much worse, as I'm still taller than the majority of girls I meet. Sometimes when I'm out at bars or clubs, I'll also see dudes shorter than me, and those guys have it bad, cause the majority of girls around them are taller. I'm also thankful that I can grow a solid beard. Even though I'm not the tallest, people never question my age cause of it

Honestly, any girl who refuses to date you because you're not 6+ feet tall, you probably don't wanna date anyways. That's pretty damn shallow. They're entitled to their attractions but I'm entitled to my opinion of them. If she absolutely refuses to give you the time of day because you're not 6 feet, imagine what other bullshit she's gonna be hung up on if you two do get to know each other.
I'm like 5'4" or so. I'm short but it's never gotten in the way of me hooking up with a girl. Then again, I don't make it a habit of hanging around ridiculously shallow bitches. Generally their personality would turn me off before I could even consider getting with her and I find out she's got some height restriction thing going on.

I totally agree with Shroomslip. I honestly don't wanna be dealing with some girl my whole life who obsesses over something like height. I've never been one to get hung up on looks though. I occasionally go to these clubs with girls who wear those insanely tight short dresses and the 6 inch heels, and it just kinda turns me off. It just looks so unnatural, as if theyre a piece of meat putting themselves on show. I think all the shrooms made me start thinking this way haha, for some reason tripping has made me more observant of the primal behavior humans exhibit

Yeah when I trip balls I always seem to strip things down to primal behaviors but it doesn't last. I remember tripping balls at my friends house and these chicks we always hang with came over and I could just see how they acted all weird and shit when I was shrooming. idk it was trippy as fuck, one of them kept sticking her ass out so it totally felt like some animal planet ritual shit.

I think I actually grew this past year, I was 5'4 and 1/4" barefoot a couple years ago thought I was supposed to be done by late teens. my primary care dude's office would weigh me but stopped measuring height after 18/19, and at first I thought I grew 3" cuz they said 5'7, then realized I was wearing some big ass boots and was told I was 5'5 1/4
When I was a kiddo my orthodontist said 5'10 based on xrays, and 6'2 for my brother - he turned out to be 6'3..and I'm a big fat underachiever I guess.

I have a lot of shoes with 2-2 1/2" heels that I can wear on a daily basis and walk around in comfortably - my ideal shoes are some stylish leather boots with 1-1 1/2" heels, or flats if I'm not going to be walking enough to need support. Occasionally I'll venture into 3"+ territory, and I do know how to walk in them, but it still feels precocious as fuck, and I just don't enjoy it.
I hate the short dress and tall heels look unless it's pulled off super well - long dress/skirt and high heels make sense. If you're not a taller girl then a lot of long skirts are too long, and you need heels to avoid tripping over it, and long clothes can make your legs look short even if they're not so the aesthetic is better.

Yea man, exactly. It's honestly weird as fuck. The first few times I tripped those feelings were isolated to when I was tripping but now I experience them pretty often and its kinda disconcerting. I'm still in college, finishing up my degree, and sometimes I'll go to random parties, and god is it the worst there. I watch these frat bros and sorority girls drink and its like I'm watching devolution take place before my eyes (especially if I've been smoking). I watch these girl purposely act stupid and clueless as these dudes encroach on them.

I totally understand what your saying. I'm not bashing all heals, it sounds like you have a cool look. I was more referring to this...which, where I live right now, is quite common. Okay, yea, both those girls are sexy, but they literally look like slabs of meat walking around for guys to ogle at. I feel like when guys look at girls dressed like that, they don't wanna know what shes like or who she truly is, they just wanna fuck em.
I don't know, I didn't always feel this way, but since experimenting more and more with psychedelics, I can't seem to take girls like this seriously, and the club culture in general. It just kinda disgusts me for some reason.

Judging by the girls I've met that dress like that, only if they kept their mouth shut. Everything that comes out of their mouth is stupid, pointless or just in some way only serves to piss me off. It's kind of sad honestly, they've been able to skate by their whole life on their looks alone and never had to develop a real personality or worry about becoming intelligent.
Not all hot girls are like that, but not all hot girls dress as "slutty" as possible. IME, dressing like that is a pretty good indicator that they have nothing at all to offer other than looks.
Who knows though, maybe those two break the mold I'm used to seeing. Maybe I'm just being overly judgmental.

Oh I totally agree, I'd love to fuck the shit of em. But thats the primal side of me speaking. I feel like theres a totally seperate part of me that knows how primal those feelings are and I know its kinda not worth it in the end. I'd much rather put some effort into a meeting a cool down to earth girl that I can truly bound with
Personality honestly matters a tremendous amount to me. I could begin talking to those girls but if they acted as superficial and stupid as I'd imagine they would, I don't think I could even muster the motivaton to fuck them. It's truly a turn off for me. Sex with someone who I can truly bound with is infinitely better

Considering I went to a pretty known and huge part university it was really common to see this shit. you can easily tell when a girl is going out to get fucked. I stumbled across several that did this.
One time my friend broke up with his girlfriend and hit me up to go out on the weekend and I brought him to my friends house who always threw pretty fat parties. This girl was pretty wasted and all these dudes were like drooling around her waiting to pounce and I was just high as fuck chillin and she clamped on to me and wouldn't let go. It was fucking dope but I was too in shock to do anything..too sober. lol. My friend probably thought I was a pimp after that I remember him saying that girl was hot as fuck and how he saw her all over me. I have to live with regrets like that knowing I didn't take advantage of a 10/10 dime that threw herself at me lol fuck

You are totally right, but thats such a primal way of looking it, even if it is true. I'm not saying I support them or not, but I don't want to pass on my genes to someone like that. Totally a personal choice. I'm one of those odd guys who honestly need to have some connection with a girl to truly enjoy having sex with them. I guess it kinda sucks but whatever

I feel you can only have a real connection with someone until after youve had sex with them. People change once youve fucked them. They let there outer shell off and then u can see the inner them. just my experiences

Not everyone is you. If you can honestly get hard and stay hard when someone has spent hours telling you how shitty they are as a person and how truly unintelligent they are, then props. I can't. Even if I managed to get hard, it'd go away as soon as I remembered that she said all poor people should be deported to Mexico because she's tired of looking at ugly beat up cars on her daily commute to Starbucks.
It isn't word for word, but I've actually met someone who thought like that, before she opened her mouth I wanted her. After many, many ridiculous comments on par with that, I didn't anymore. There's more to beauty and our drive to mate and reproduce than just physical appearance.

Many of my friends who are chicks are pretty smart. Then I have the other range of ones that are really dumb. I have one that idolizes Brittany spears so you can picture her personality. She's really nice and chill but god damn she's stupid. she's fucked my entire group of friends which is a pretty big accomplishment.
I feel physical attraction overpowers emotional attraction off the bat. If you want to form a relationship then you can get into those waters but for me I wouldn't date a girl that was just openly fucking me before knowing me. I guess it could change but I haven't been in a serious relationship in forever so yeah.

I don't deny that. The only place we split is whether they could just say whatever stupid thing that entered their head first and I still would. If one of them just randomly walked up out of the middle of nowhere and said fuck me, why wouldn't I (outside of already being married)?

The girl I am seeing at the moment has a 4.0 in an honors physics program and minors in computer coding and is in junior level classes in her sophomore year. Do you know what originally had me go up to her and say hello? Her physical appearance. So anyone who writes off hot women as air headed and boring is really missing out. It's cool more for me.

Yeah, but I don't find them physically attractive. A lot of that has to do with how they carry themselves.

I'm 5'11". i would be happy with another inch(thats what she said ) i almost always seem to end up with girls in the 5'7"-5'10" range. though there have been a few shorties mixed in.
I'm with doobie on the issue of smart/dumb chicks. There's plenty of smart hotties, and most of the dumb-dumbs are actually faking it to get away with shit.

I think a lot of girls who dress like basic bitches are doing it because all their friends do. It's trendy in that social circle, it is well received by the types of guys they're hanging with, and being receptive to trends does NOT mean you have a good fashion sense. It also doesn't mean that you're automatically dumb - it either means you genuinely like that style of dress, or that you care more about how others(ie your peers) percieve you than your own personal feelings towards something. I can tell you from experience, being a fixture in a group of girls that are friends can be brutal if you haven't sought out people who don't suck.

I've been the blacksheep before and have gotten ostracized by my so called friends, those types of girls will fuck up your soul a little bit and most people either avoid being the weird one or they drop their lame ass friends and find better ones, which is what I did - but I could see how some girls would just try to go with the flow. Especially for friends you grew up with, or friends you just met and are trying to keep in a college environment.
I see this type of girl around, they're the north face, ugg boot, pose for pictures in profile with you're hand on your hip next to all your identically posed friends type. Lots of them are smart, nice girls who are pursuing solid careers, my brother is marrying one and she had a masters in education by 24, she's worked with little kids in absolutely terrible areas like Camden, NJ(seriously), and she is extremely nurturing with a good head on her shoulder. She also is a basic bitch, but really, how bad a thing is that? I get not being into it because your tastes differ, but how does that make someone a bad person or someone who's personality isn't up to par?
Honestly, I don't find myself chilling or knowing many girls who look like that but my friends and I all dress alike too, just in a different way . We don't consult each other about what we wear or buy or any of THAT shit and we differ in opinion on some stuff, but mostly we're birds of a feather as far as clothing. Everything else is a crap shoot, but if you look at any group of friends, chances are they all dress similarly.

What's up with all the 6+feet people here Are the short people just too afraid to say they're short, or is this site just a collection of fucking trees.

I'm 5'7, if that counts... 
Wasn't afraid, I'd just rather post snide remarks than stay on-topic in an info gathering thread. Never really cared about my height; as long as I'm not a midget or giant and somewhere in between. Though I'd understand why someone 4 feet tall might be afraid.

But you've got it all wrong. I'm not writing off hot women. I'm writing off women that enjoy dressing up like that on a regular basis and layering on shit tons of makeup to go off to the clubs to get shit faced. I've met plenty of extremely beautiful and hot girls that don't need to slut themselves up or cover their entire face in makeup to demonstrate how beautiful they really are. Believe it or not, I prefer natural beauty. I dated this one girl who did not need even the littlest bit of makeup to show how pretty her face was. I don't need a girl to be wearing 6 inch heels to show off her legs. I actually like it when girls throw on a pair of vans or converse or just walk around barefoot.
And honestly, not to sound condescending, but we probably have different perspectives on sex. My view is not as primal as yours. I agree that sex does allow one to open up, but I don't wanna open up for every slutty chick I meet. I've tried it before, and it just doesn't work for me. The sex feels meaningless. I just have no urge to actually fuck the girl and make love to her. I have to feel to very comfortable around the girls for it to happen. And alcohol does the opposite, it numbs me. I think the only drug that would lead to me fucking lots of random strangers is MDMA, that stuff makes me feel in love with everything, its borderline dangerous

heathers has always been eerily familiar, minus the murder stuff - only a total dumbshit would get tricked into repeatedly murdering people by their weird boyfriend with the columbine trenchcoat.
But I have a redheaded best friend that's scarily similar to shannon doherty's character when she turns into a mega bitch - but smarter, not as cunty and if you 'get' her then she's awesome. weirdest, most honest friendship of my life because we both understand each other more than any other friend I've had, but I know that the only reason she understands me is because she's manipulative as fuck - it doesn't work on me and I tell her to go fuck herself and laugh at her the few times she tries, and her intentions aren't malicious or anything, but it's scary and impressive to watch her flip on that switch and turn people into puppets. I get a little snarky with her about it sometimes, but it's ultimately harmless so we just forget it and smoke blunts and watch trailer park boys. But if our priorities weren't so different, we'd be each others nemesis, for sure.

Solid 5'5 or possibly 5'4 and a half.. I wouldn't have it any other way. Was the tallest in grade school for a little abit, about a year and a half, that was fun. Went from shortest, well tied, to tallest to shortest... well tied! Haha But being short rocks, you can see from the get go how the world works and whats attracted to what naturally. Also everything you go in is bigger. Beds are bigger. Cars are bigger, my camper van is just frckin' dandy.
Easy to be humble Cheers folks.

Janky tits, in a few years you're gonna be intensely cringing at yourself. You're like every single teenage 'rage' bro I've seen in their neon wife beaters bragging about how they roll their balls off constantly and have overcome the vastly difficult task of finding drugs. I mean, everyone ends up haunted by stupid meaningless embarrassing moments that no one else remembers - but you're gonna cringe good and hard.
Or you're a charicature of a real human, like a cop pretending to be what he thinks is a typical teenager who's poppin' mollies and sweatin'.
that sounded mean. you're not a bad person. you're just so young and underage and you're going to blossom into a beautiful butterfly when you're 21+ and don't feel like dealing with teenagers spun out of their gourd while checking into social media to make sure everyone knows it.
ugh that still sounded mean. you're pretty much allowed to be out of control and make dumb decisions without anyone thinking less of you because we all remember(or barely) the days before our brain finished developing and you start thinking about shit like consequences and stuff, so as long as you're having fun, then keep doing you. Unless you're a cop.

I pretty much at every single thing I can remember doing or saying before 23-25, even quite a few after. It wasn't even too long ago when I decided to go back through some of my 18-ish posts on another drug forum just to see how much I've changed and holy shit.. I was fucking downright RETARDED.

I'm 24 in March, I'll be a life long cringer, I'm sure of it - but there's so much that changes when your prefrontal cortex starts coming down the home stretch in terms of development. I swear to god I can literally feel my brain maturing because my thought process is so different and so much broader than it was 2 or 3 years ago.
..it's also called growing up and realizing, no, your life-long dream of moving to San Francisco with no job at 19 and a few grand saved up is not bohemian and a beautiful adventure waiting to happen, it's homelessness. It's harder to romanticize stuff, I'm getting depressingly practical.

ehh, it's really changed to Seattle at this point - and I do plan to go. I like where I'm at now and am switching careers before I try to move from one end of the country to the other.
Also I've been poor in a big city before, and one that's a million times cheaper than SF, it's incredibly un-glamorous and depressing when you're drenched in so much sweat at night in a room with three fans, and you feel more like a slime creature than a human because you can't afford AC(or heat), and it sucks to be choosing between toothpaste and something to eat - though to be fair I was a total idiot and would spend all the food money I had for the day on a 5 dollar footlong or 7 dollar cup of frozen yogurt, and when things got really really dire I finally told my parents my internship stipend wasn't cutting it and that 19 wasn't quite as mature and independent an age that I thought.Quote:

It's harder to romanticize stuff, I'm getting depressingly practical.
I moved here with 800 bucks in my pocket >.>
Maybe I was just lucky 
how'd you pull it off? just curious, did you have to slum it for a while or did you get a good job right away? I'm not doing that in a million years, I don't need riches, but dammit, I need a comfortable safe home with a dryer that will turn on without you having to flip the basement lightswitch even though it was in the kitchen. I am not doing that again haha.Quote:

she's like 33. And JT, I wasn't busting your chops for that, you're probably well within legal range to bang a 16 year old anyway cuz of that 2 year rule.

I was looking for them when I left, mostly tech support since that's what I was doing in Florida, and I got a call on the way to the airport to setup an interview. He asked if I was still willing to relocate to San Francisco and I said "I'm on my way to the airport, now!"
I had arranged to split a hotel room with someone from another website and I was doing that for about 3 weeks... When I got here on a Friday night I took the weekend off, went job hunting that Monday and got hired, still went to the interview that Wed and got hired somewhere better and told the other place "sorry, something came up."
I was staying at some "resident hotel" SRO type-place for about 3 months until I could find an apartment. Trust me, it's way easier to find a job here than it is an apartment (unless you're going to live in the outer bay which is perfectly reasonable).

oh okay, that's a valid opportunity, especially for tech related stuff. What I wanted to do was kind of 'wing it', and I was like 19/20 and the most promising job I could've gotten that would've payed the rents somewhere in the bay area would be a bartender at a high volume place. Like I was an intern working for pennies and a part time bartender at a mildly divey sort of bar.
I'm switching from lighting tech/entertainment to web development and going back to school, and I'd like to move to Seattle in a couple years - but from what I gather, the salaries in silicon valley are so high because it's fucking impossible to live there otherwise. I haven't ever payed more than 575 for a room in philly and that includes a 2 bedroom rowhouse in a decent gentrified section of town with stuff to do that me and another girl shared.
San Francisco is beautiful, but honestly it's Seattle that's been hollering at me for a while now - but I'd take a job in a mid(or smaller city as long as it wasn't too small, like 20,000+ preferably) as long as it had a good music and nightlife scene relative to it's size, or if I could just see myself being happy there.
I love Chicago, and it reminds me of a slightly larger philly in lots of ways, so I think I'd adjust just fine, but the PNW's climate is ideal to me and in a perfect world I'd be on the coast.

Seattle is nice it just rains there a bit too much for me.
Around here if you go into web development you're looking to START maybe 60K
You'll probably be making 6 figures in 5 years.
That's what I've been doing the last decade or so.
