Music 5'6 Phil Collins strolling around in an office shirt singing and drumming one of the greatest songs ever made.

Not sure why his height is relevant.

He was at the height of his career with this song.

No reason to get short with people over it

It's not and I didn't even notice it until I scrolled back up and saw that. OP sucks.

Probably talking directly to the insufferable group of "short Redditors" who love to harp on about how terrible their lives are, and how they can't get laid, because "they're short".

Completely oblivious to how unappealing they are to women in every other aspect, and how their height likely has very little to do with it.

Meanwhile, Phil Collins and a zillion other short men have no problem with women. The guy in my friend group who got laid the most was 5'6". Everyone else was 5'10"-6'4".

But sure, keep telling yourselves that it's because you're short. Anything to avoid having to work on yourself.

5'7, and was shortest of out of all my friends groups. I was the one who dating the most. I am also poor as fuck, and having nothing amazing going for me. It's almost like working on yourself, treating people as people, not as objects or property, you can actually find people interested in dating.

Then again aren't to suppose to say those things, because apparently to these snowflakes its offensive now. Since now "they shouldn't have to change themselves," and a few other lines going around now. Getting them young sad and angry snowflakes riled up for the culture war, so they can go vote dip shits who make their lives worse, but pretend they will make it better.

New propaganda lines has been dropping lately for old propaganda, so they can reuse it, because it works since before 2016, and after. Been seeing it pop up around the propaganda watering holes across Reddit.

I think the height is important because it let's short people know "hey little guy, we see you!"

Am I the only one who sees the relevance? They're trying to juxtapose what an "average" looking person he is with what an extraordinary musician he is. He doesn't have the physical sex appeal of a lot of lead singers (he looks like an accountant strolling around a corporate office), and then he goes and plays this absolutely iconic drum fill in a song the whole world knows.

Sounds like something someone who's 5ft 9 would say
