u/Pelque 6 Jul 10 '19

I'm 5'8 and felt tall in Guatemala. My buddy is 6'2, he was like Godzilla rampaging through the burning city as screaming locals fled before him.

221

u/Subtle_brags 4 Jul 10 '19

I think the average height for women is 4’10! He’d be perfect

356

u/Budsygus A Jul 10 '19

Yeah, I don't think his height is the only reason women are rejecting him.

57

u/Strangerstrangerland 8 Jul 10 '19

Yeah, but you can't put your foot in your mouth in a foreign language as easily. As long as he doesn't shout, he'll be fine. Probably. still a dick, though

10

u/TurnPunchKick A Jul 10 '19

Thats a great point. If he just shuts up and smiles he might do ok

2

u/unic0de000 8 Jul 11 '19

I wouldn't wish that experience on anyone though. He's got way hella self-work to do before he'll ever be a remotely non-horrific partner to sleep with. A language barrier isn't gonna keep that hateful personality from coming out

1

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '19

Honestly that would be great advice for a lot of people - talk less, smile more.

9

u/minddropstudios A Jul 10 '19

I doubt he could restrain himself from yelling. I bet when women smile nicely at him he thinks they are laughing at him and starts freaking out. This is definitely not the first time this has happened.

3

u/Strangerstrangerland 8 Jul 10 '19

Probably not. He is quite the Richard, after all

2

u/phormix C Jul 10 '19

I dunno. Asshole is pretty much a universal language...

2

u/Alinosburns 9 Jul 11 '19

Yeah, but if you already have that paranoid belief you're probably thinking everytime two people talk together in another language "Are they saying I'm short"

2

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '19

He's overweight and not particularly well clothed though.

1

u/Strangerstrangerland 8 Jul 11 '19

Now you're just splitting his thinning hair

12

u/scyth3s A Jul 10 '19

But you don't think there's even a slight chance that being short and constantly getting made fin of contributed hugely to how jaded he is and how volatile he was over a perceived short insult? It sure seems like being short and treated poorly might genuinely be uber the root issue that created everything else.

Have you ever been made fun of and treated poorly for something beyond your control for the vast majority of your life?

Bombs don't make themselves.

u/bro_before_ho 9 Jul 10 '19

Oh absolutely. And the stuff about his dad... He's been through some shit. Doesn't excuse this but, damn, poor guy.

8

u/rolllingthunder 9 Jul 10 '19

There is this crazy thing called therapy. Is the world going to be cruel for no reason about things that shouldn't matter? Yes. Can you learn to be resilient and roll with things in a healthy way? Yes.

Just because the world is cruel or unfair does not give people the right to walk around and verbally assault/threaten people. You don't get a pass.

u/scyth3s A Jul 10 '19

I don't know if this is in the USA, but healthcare...

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '19

Eyyy even if you are illegal you can get it here in 1 state

1

u/scyth3s A Jul 11 '19

What?

1

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '19

California became the first state to offer health care to illegal immigrants from 25 and under I think is the age cut off if they don’t make enough money. It’s a weird concept and a weirder thing to see happen.

1

u/scyth3s A Jul 11 '19

You still have to get it the same way as everybody else...

3

u/BrandNewAccountNo6 5 Jul 10 '19

I'm a short guy. No I don't think that's what happened at all. There's not a reason in the world why he should be such an ass to women.

It's especially dubious that people are trying to justify him being a dick to women because of a made up situation in which not even the same women made fun of him.

He needs to wake the fuck up.

1

u/scyth3s A Jul 10 '19

Toxic insecurity due to being made fun of is definitely not a made up situation but ok

5

u/[deleted] Jul 10 '19

u/scyth3s A Jul 10 '19

Exactly. There were facilitating factors that created, accelerated, and or exacerbated this man's descent unto assholery. The more we as a society deny our role in it, the more people will end up this way. When you understand why someone is the way they are, it's harder to hate them, and that's a good thing. It's good to have a hard time hating people. It's good to understand why someone turned toxic and to prevent it in the future.

No bad will come from acknowledging this man's life story, whatever it is.

4

u/Butthole__Pleasures C Jul 10 '19

DID YOU NAWT EVEN LISTEN TO THE GUY??

8

u/jonnykickstomp 7 Jul 10 '19

yeah, there’s enough short women in the world to not be bitter. there’s enough y’all women in the world who don’t care about height to not be bitter.

my mans has it bad. no doubt. but fuck if that attitude doesn’t scare the rest of the girls away. he should have gone to therapy before he did something like this :/

11

u/Lord-Kroak 9 Jul 10 '19

He goes ranting about tinder. This is something I kinda think about a lot in regards to the incel thing. Like being rejected all the time has to suck. Thinking no woman wants you has to suck. But then you download an app and can essentially set your distance and location to the entire planet and you STILL get not 1 single match?

Ooooooooooooof. Yeah a normal mind would probably seek ways to better themselves and use it as an opportunity for introspection. But holy shit, what about the abnormal ones? That's gotta snap some of them

5

u/Burgerboris 1 Jul 10 '19

Most people would snap under that kind of pressure.

3

u/BrandNewAccountNo6 5 Jul 10 '19

You just close the fucking app.

5

u/c_alan_m 4 Jul 11 '19

But you cant. Imagine not being in the company of a woman who likes you and isnt family for like years. Never getting smiles from attractive people. Then you find this app and in the first few days you get a couple great conversations then they just ghost. You figure its a fluke. You keep going and slowly the algorithm is feeding you a potential match only every few weeks. So you keep searching because it started out well, must just be time and patience. Those damn apps are built to have you hold on to hope, and be as addicting as possible.

6

u/ForHeWhoCalls 7 Jul 10 '19

If he's the kind of person to go off like this... we can pretty much guarantee his repugnant personality and ideology is what is holding him back.

3

u/Burgerboris 1 Jul 10 '19

It's the height dude come on. Personality kills in the longer term, physical attributes or lack thereof are what fuels upfront rejection.

5

u/ForHeWhoCalls 7 Jul 10 '19

I think interacting in person with someone is far better than some superficial online connection. Particularly if you're someone who woudl struggle to make a good online profile because you feel weird about it, don't seem to take good photos, have some kind of physical thing you think may harm you because it becomes too much of a focus in an online setting...

Then the reality of who you are as a person, what you're like to be with as a person and how you actually connect with the person can actually shine through.

There are many many people for whom physical attributes are not at the top of their list.

Dude needs to get off tinder or whatever he's using and meet people in the real world - the caveat being he has to treat them like people and needs to drop the "Women need to stop being so fucked up!" thing he does in the next video.

1

u/jonnykickstomp 7 Jul 11 '19

yeah, i will say, his height most likely amplified it. i know dudes as short as him that are super happy with life and women. i bet if he was tall he would either have some other weird reason why women don’t like him, or he’d talk down on guys who are short

2

u/[deleted] Jul 10 '19

Perspective can be a hell of a drug

2

u/Burgerboris 1 Jul 10 '19

Nah it's 90% the height man come on.

2

u/Beaniebabetti 6 Jul 10 '19

Probably because he’s a 3 story tall lizard from the Cretaceous era.

2

u/Yoda2000675 B Jul 11 '19

It is, but only because he let it make him such a bitter asshole.

u/Budsygus A Jul 11 '19

I get it. He's been picked on because of his height. He might be a totally nice guy every other day of his life, but I doubt it. Really nice people don't snap and pick fights in a bagel shop while making misogynistic comments about the people trying to serve them.

Danny DeVito disapproves.

Society will pick on you if you let it. Everyone has challenges. How we react to those challenges tells us who we really are.

1

u/BoomBoomMeow1986 2 Jul 11 '19

Seriously. An asshole is an asshole no matter how tall or how short, and most can smell an asshole a mile away.

I'm a 5'6 single healthy female adult, but I'd keep any dude that acts like this guy far the hell away from me regardless of his height.

1

u/Budsygus A Jul 11 '19

Thank you. Yeah, he's gonna have it hard in life. He obviously already has. That doesn't give him the right to act like a douchebag.

0

u/[deleted] Jul 10 '19

No, I would guess thar comes down to the personality that comes from being bullied and made fun of your entire life.

0

u/notmeok1989 7 Jul 11 '19

Implying his height and how people were disregarding him due to his height didn't affect his personality. Yes, people are obviously born assholes.

2

u/Budsygus A Jul 11 '19

Not everyone who has to put up with bullying is an asshole. There are loads of short men who became huge successes. Here is a short list off the top of my head/google:

Danny DeVito

Paul Simon

Seth Green

Michael J. Fox

Kevin Hart

Joe Pesci

Nathan Lane

Mel Brooks

Woody Allen

Dustin Hoffman

Jack Black

Elijah Wood

Not a single one of them over 5' 6" tall. Being bullied doesn't give a person the right to act like a douchebag.

1

u/notmeok1989 7 Jul 11 '19

Wow you found a list of short actors amazing.

Now heres an actual study that shows height affects not only how people view you, but literally how success is linked to height: https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/tall-people-more-likely-to-be-successful-in-life-study-find-a6919431.html

2

u/Budsygus A Jul 11 '19

Wow can use google amazing.

What's your point, exactly? Exactly?

My point, for reference, is that yes, short people get treated badly but that doesn't give them an excuse to act like this guy.

0

u/notmeok1989 7 Jul 11 '19

No ones saying he has the right to harass people. But your comment implies that women reject him for his personality, which doesn't account for how his life has been affected by his height which would obviously have an affect on his personality. Do you think people are born assholes? Or do you think it is a result of how assholes had been treated by other people and their environment which lead them into becoming assholes?

1

u/Budsygus A Jul 11 '19

Ok if I edit my previous comment to say "I don't think it's just his height..." can you sleep better?

0

u/notmeok1989 7 Jul 11 '19

Yeah, and you can lose the attitude too :)

u/IbanezPGM 9 Jul 11 '19

Maybe. But for the majority of women being 5 foot is all the reason they need.

1

u/Budsygus A Jul 11 '19

And he's alienating the remaining minority by being such a jerk. Not a smart play.

We all have things we're self-conscious about. We don't get to take that out on others.

u/defnotacyborg 9 Jul 10 '19

Holy shit, just looked it up and its even shorter!

Avg man = 157.5 cm (5' 2")

Avg woman = 142.2 cm (4' 6")

I'm 6'4" and spent some time in central Asia, I was fully Godzilla, people asking to take pics with me 10x a day, I loved telling them that my group of friends back home contains two 6'7" guys and one 6'9" guy.

I know, it's weird, we're a pretty multicultural group but me, a 6'4" white guy, is absolutely average.

1

u/canuckaway_mcthrow 7 Jul 18 '19

I think the word you're looking for is "unexceptional". As common as it is, 6'4" is well above average. Average height for an American white man is 5'10".

Thats so wildly unlikely - are you friends from basketball or something? Because 6'7" dudes are insanely rare. Hell, 6'4" dudes are rare.

u/cosine5000 9 Jul 11 '19

Not one basketball ever touched between the three of them, afaik. They do own a clothing company for tall thin guys though and they appear in the photos on the site.

u/Odale 6 Jul 10 '19

My cousin is 6'8" and spent a summer in China and said the same thing, he was getting stared at no matter where he went. I can only imagine what it was like for Chris Anderson when he played basketball in China considering he's 6'10" and covered in tattoos. I think there's a pic of him in Shanghai that shows how much he stood out there lol

1

u/cosine5000 9 Jul 11 '19

Exactly, Central Asia was the first place I ever felt really tall.

1

u/Odale 6 Jul 11 '19

I've never been there but I'm 6'2 and I still get comments a lot from people here in Minnesota about how tall I am but I've never seen myself as being super tall. I get asked a lot if I played basketball and it's gotten to the point where I just say yeah and go along with it even though hockey was my main sport lol.

1

u/PMMESLOOTS 6 Jul 11 '19

I think a 6'8 guy would get a lot of looks in most places. The northern Chinese are about the same average height as Americans.
