Just because they're tall?
I'm referring to men who are 188 cm and + and women who are 175 cm or up.
Ony of my friend told me he enjoys being tall it's an advantage in life and with girls but he also said that he is the strongest fighter in his boxing class.
And i recently asked him which is his best physical trait, he said "my height"
-
sure, its normal to feel superior when you are taller than others.
this question is easy to answer, do you feel superior when you are with people a lot shorter than you?

no i don't really care
-
I think if they are in the 6' 1" to 6' 5" range, than yes. More than that would probably make sometime self conscious that they are too tall. If I could magically be any height it would be 6' 1.5"
-
no i don't really care
you are 6´0? when you are next to a man of 5´6 you dont fell physically superior ?
-
How would I know?

yes, somewhat, since i'm much bigger
How would I know?
maybe on how your friend behave or say?
-
And seriously uppland, i'm kinda amazed you ask me that, you who wants to be 2 meter, because you just would like to dominate the crowd.
So i believe you have the answer and you're going to tell me if tall people feel superior or not
-
No, its short people who feel inferior, tall people have nothing to do they don't even bother to feel superior, they feel normal, which is why they appear confident
-

This pretty much sums up what I feel when meeting shorter/taller people. There is nothing special about interacting with someone smaller, however, meeting someone considerably taller makes me feel inferior.
-

Yep this is true , tall people are normal and they dont think about height while the short people feel it naturally inferior when they are with tall people, i have cousin brothers both 6"7 and sister 6"3 and i know what i am talking about. they never said anything about height except that my cousin sis feels shes too tall to get married :-\ :-\
-
I honestly feel superior to most tall people. I know I'm stronger than most people I meet, tall and short, so, physically, I feel superior to tall fellows.

Even if someone shorter is way blukier than me, I still don't get the same feeling that I get when I see taller guys. Probably because of the fact that you can change your body when it comes to muscles if you are dedicated enough. Doing this with height is impossible thought.
Besides LL ofc ;D
-
I think there are ways for the short person to feel superior. It involves being very physically strong and knowing martial arts.
-
There are superior tall/short men. A high school friend of mine was 6foot'6inch; he would complain every day on how he hasn't reached his dad's height (6foot'8inch) and is highly insecure - girls at that time preferred me to him. I just told him about leg lengthening and he's thinking about it.

u're retard to begin with to talk about LL, it will only bring you negatives

Not saying, "Hey do LL or suffer" We were hanging out one day and he was wearing lifts and complained about the pain from it, and while he took them off, I asked why he would wear them and he said he wants to be as tall as his dad and basketball etc etc, and asked if there was another way. I told him about posture (He slouched a lot), LL, attitude, and inversions, but I didn't advocate or go into detail for him, because he is tall as he is, and I don't want him to fall into what we are going through. Later that week, he sent me the article on abc 20/20 and he told me he remembered a while ago that LL was being done on deformities, but he might consider cosmetics.
I honestly put the spotlight on Apo for publicizing it, but that's also how I got here.

that's sad. he needs electroshock therapy, and to be euthanized so his genetics don't re enter the gene pool. lol

When I wear lifts in university, I feel above average (but not tall). I am so fed up that at 180 cm (with shoes) it is not tall. I expect once I am done I am 182 cm without shoes and 185 with basketball shoes.
And to the question: yes, I think some tall people feel superior. Only some.
But most, don't even care about their height.
I had a few project buddies and the fact that I towered over them, made me feel better..
If your mind registers that short = inferior, then your mind will register the flip-side, ie tall = superior.if that make sense.
-
I feel bad for guys that are even shorter than me (few as there may be) when I walk past one on the street even though they might not care about their height at all!

It'sHisLife is right. Some tall people don't care about their height. Only "if your mind registers that short = inferior, then your mind will register the flip-side, ie tall = superior"

Certainly. When you tower over another man, and are the superior physical specimen, how do you not feel superior? Maybe you don't get that satisfaction all the time, or it's only conscious some of the time, but it still applies and it still happens at least occasionally when it happens. It's not fair, it's not just, it's simply primal and instinctual. You know you are an ahole for feeling superior to the ugly short guy but those feelings come anyway. It's like feeling attracted to the pretty dumb girl versus the bookish, acne faced girl with A cups. It's simply primal and ingrained. Just look at all the competitions between the males of different species for mating rights, territory, etc. Look at all the animals with signals for physical supremacy like antlers/plumes/etc.
Now, extrapolate this to the life of tall, handsome men. A life of towering and being just physically better than other males. Of course most of them probably feel superior to other men (who are shorter/uglier than them) quite frequently.

I think you re right, I want to do ll not to feel inferior, but if I feel inferior I HAVE to admit that I may feel superior after ll, but on the other hand 187 cm is not enough to dominate the crowd
so I might not feel superior, but I know that I WILL compete the tall guys at 187 cm

Go for it. My French french Jaque is 5'11 who only hits on Korean girls. I always secretly thought he could improve myself by adding on a few extra cms to be in par with one of those macho white dude at the club in tank top and meat head.
The worst that could happen to you is buyer's remorse. If you don't feel like you won't regret your decision and this will make you happy, go for it. Who cares about what other people say. People usually say things for themselves or to make themselves feel better. If you think this will improve your life, stop reading/thinking/waste further time.. you already got all the info you needed.. and go for it. Good-luck

what are you lifts bro?
500 lbs deadlift
450 lbs squat
315 lbs bench

bullcrap. I don't feel superior to a 165 cm guy who looks damn good and has money
Well shouldn't this comparison be between two guys that are similar aside from height?
At 170 I definitely feel something standing next to my 165 friend.. and I remember once he once pointed out in a picture where he was standing next to a 158 guy "holy crap, I tower over that guy!"
As a 170 guy I already feel like every inch counts. At 165, a guy would be close to the average height of girls without heels so I can feel their pain.

Bravo for this very honest post of yours. I can only speak from my own experience, but whenever I am noticeably taller than another male I generally breathe a sigh of relief and lower my guard, and feel completely confident talking to this guy. Superiority doesn't pop up in my mind directly, but i'm sure it is there subconsciously and thus affects my dynamics with him.
The tallest male in the room is always going to breathe easy, knowing he has that inherent value he can wager in his favor. LL would be worth it for the proven advantage in male social dynamics alone, let alone the concrete, also well-proven advantages you have with women.

Wanting to be taller doesn't mean I feel superior to a shorter person, or feel like a better person. I don't want to be tall, I want to be more average.

So much this
-
I think the guys who feel superior and think "gee, I'm glad I'm not as short as that poor bastard" tend to have insecurity issues to begin with. Its a morbid and ego bolstering form of empathy (they are putting themselves in your shoes for a brief moment but only to exalt their confidence). Confidence is universally one of the most attractive traits but is also one of the hardest ones to acquire/develop.
-
Even if someone shorter is way blukier than me, I still don't get the same feeling that I get when I see taller guys. Probably because of the fact that you can change your body when it comes to muscles if you are dedicated enough. Doing this with height is impossible thought.
Besides LL ofc ;D
To a degree yes thats true but at the same time developing huge muscles and a lot of physical strength takes a level of dedication that most guys just cannot do and even when they do do it they just dont have the genetics to become either big or strong.
Its one thing ive noticed with a lot if tall ecto type guys is that if they are outlifted by shorter guys in the gym it damages their huge egos and then the mandatory excuses come out 'i have to lift the weight further than you' yes thats it because you push the weight 1.5" more rom it knocks 200lbs+ off what you can lift compared to me! Lol! 'Id be huge if i was your height' no you wouldnt youd be the same size you are proportionately to what you are at that height ie a 6-3 guy who weighs 180 at 5-7 would weigh about 135 the 5-7 guy who weighs 200 at 6-3 would weigh around 250-265!
Do tall people feel superior hell yes they do they are fully aware of their advantage life has guven them. Yes short guys feel inferior as well
-
There are a great deal that will feel superior. Also frustrating are the ones that cant understand why were mad about something we cant control. Precisely that, there are many tubs of lard that go to Walmart with a great height while we could strive to be great in other aspects but nothing we can do to get taller.

Not all do, no. Some people really don't give a fk. I know that might be extremely hard to believe for us depressed people here, but it's true.
Then there's the ones who really place importance on it, for whatever reason. One of my best friends is a 2 metre guy, and while he's a great friend to hang out with, he regularly talks about his height, and how it affects him, how long his limbs are, how big his clothes are, etc. I mean really almost every time I see him. Sometimes I do want to shout at him that he did not accomplish this height by his own work, and that he reminds me of a millionaire's son who constantly talks about how much money he has, how much things he can buy.
-

I have many 6'3 friends and my best buddy from school is 6'2 and they never commented or mentioned anything about my height.
Even when i told him about going to the endocrynologist with my height problem he was like "Really? You are not that short" and basically we talked about our perfect height and chicks later on. He really never cared about it.
-
People in the range 6 2"+ know that they are really tall and dont give a peanut about this(because they have height as no another thing in their lifes), so yes they feel superior.
-

So they dont give a damn or feel superior?
Because i can tell you, they don't feel superior. If they do they probably have self esteem issues themselves.
Height is not the only thing that determinants your life. It actually barely does anything in reality(unless you are really short but still not that much as some people make it up to be).
-
Yes they do. I feel superior than people shorter than me. So i think they should feel It even more

Exactly. These are the people who you want in your life, and they are probably the ones who have a generally more positive view on life, not only on the height question. People with such a view will improve your life if they are part of it.
Yes they do. I feel superior than people shorter than me. So i think they should feel It even more
This is a bad thing. You should try to quit this philosophy, because you will never be truly happy. Even if you're tall, there will be people who are taller than you, and make you feel inferior, and if you feel superior to people around you, some of them will notice sooner or later, and will not like you for it.
I admit, I know the feeling of feeling inferior. When there are really tall people around me, I sometimes feel like a piece of crap. But I know this way of thinking is toxic and will not lead me anywhere, so I try to get rid of it. On the other hand, I do not feel superior to people shorter than me. On the contrary, I'm thankful that they exist, because they make me feel more normal, and I wouldn't ever want them to get the feeling that their height is not good enough.
-
nope, its just a mental disease that we have :) i used to have a very good life with no rejections and dating tall women too, but when i started this fking height mentality i broke with them

This is so true I was the same way then the height thing slowly started taking over the way I viewed myself and it got harder and harder for me even though I stayed the same. I found that after I booked for surgery I started going out again and meeting women again with no problems maybe because I figured it was finally all coming to an end.
-
Some might not constantly show it but they will brag when height is mentioned like a guy with big dck when penis size is mentioned.
-
I don't think that happens a lot with women, a lot of 5'7+ girls I know wish they were a bit smaller because they're rejected for being too tall. It's like the opposite version with the shorter stature for men. And some tall girls love being tall. One of my good friends is 6'0, so she's way taller than the average girl, hell even taller than a lot of models, and she told me she wishes she was shorter and curvier.

United States! (I don't know why I have so many tall friends)

Tall people feel superior and are not interested in height at the same time, is a little contradictory.For example, I dont think Barack Obama is interested in articles about height but he feels superior.

I feel a bit sorry for very tall woman. Problems with wearing heels and don't even start on dating someone shorter than her.

It's such a bad example lmao.

If I were that tall I would take advantage and try to make loads of money from being a runway model. She's beautiful too, so it doesn't really stop her from getting male attention at all. I think it's just compared to other girls she might feel weird. Personally for me, I wouldn't want to be taller than 5'8.
-
Yes, example is ridiculous, but I think my argument is correct.

Ye i ment basically comparison to other women and social stigma especially associated with dating.
But i agree, she should not dwell on it, she won the pretty gene after all.

Me: not why: I am in the short side yet, below average

I don't think 5'7 girls are tall. They are about average and most of the girls would like to be in that range or a bit taller.
-
Really? Maybe in terms of modeling 5'7 isn't considered tall, the average height for a girl in the United States is like 5'5. Do you live in Scandinavia or something? Even my 5'6 friend here said she got rejected for being too tall.
-
5'7 isn't average for a girl. I wouldn't even say it's tall either though.
-
Then let's just say it's slightly taller than average. I definitely don't consider it in the same league at 5'10+ women.
-
Maybe I'm a bit off by saying that 5'7 girls are average height but I do think most of the girls would like to be that height. Which I understand because males would like to be in the range of 5'11 to 6'2. What do you people think would be an ideal height for a girl?
-
I would say 5'4 to 5'8 depending on the girl. I don't think it's as specific as a guy's ideal height. I think like someone else here mentioned, women are usually more concerned about weight than height.

I'd say 5'6 to 5'9. But 5'7 is definitely a good height for a girl. I'd say that a 5'7 girl can date about every guy height wise xD
-
Honestly, if 5'7 was within a reasonable gain for me (it won't be unless I'm one of those people that gets two surgeries... Scary) I would probably love it. BUT I was always a tall kid and I have missed that feeling ever since people started catching up and surpassing me.
-
I like 5'3 and 5'4 girls but I don't mind if they are shorter. I don't like girls taller than 5'6 because they are taller than me. The 5'4 girls can be taller than me too if they use high heels. 5'2 and 5'3 girls are the best!

That's what I thought, that the ideal height for women (through a man's eyes) varies a lot depending on the person. Some prefer short, some prefer tall, some prefer average, and some like it all.
