how tall are you?
Curious3141 said:One word : METRICATION
Why does the 6-ft, broad-shouldered guy always feel the need to stand up in front of everyone? (At Disney, it was worse...they'd stand in front of you, then toss a kid up on their shoulders...if they just stood in the back and let the kids stand up front, everyone would be able to see.)BobG said:All doorways should be 6 feet tall. You should have to dribble through 6 foot doorways to get to the basket on a basketball court.
If I have seen less than others, it's because some 6-foot-plus guy was standing in front of me.
But then you'd have a lot of big guys walking around grumpy because they keep hitting their heads on door frames. And I'd Be One Of Them!BobG said:All doorways should be 6 feet tall. You should have to dribble through 6 foot doorways to get to the basket on a basketball court.

Nothing wrong with short ladies. So much the easier to sweep you off of your feet. Really(when they don't freak out from being selfconscious) the reaction of a woman to being picked up and carried is priceless.Moonbear said:How come so many of the guys here are so tall! I'm forever doomed to the front row of all group photos. :shy: At Disney, they have interesting ways of giving safety instructions, like, "The smallest person should sit on the inside of this ride." That's meant to keep the children sitting away from the doors, but I was the smallest person in our group, so had to keep sitting on the inside. (Okay, I volunteered since I thought the instructions were so funny.) I'm only 5' 2" (and a quarter )
Aww...there's nothing more fun than being swept off one's feet by a handsome man. :!) I'm not self-conscious about my height at all...I get a good laugh when the taller folks bump their heads on stuff I don't even notice when I walk under it.TheStatutoryApe said:Nothing wrong with short ladies.

That means I'm 6'3" in my rest frame. :D

There are much taller kids the same age who go to my school
Though I have my doubts about the usage of the term "petite" to refer to a woman who is 5' tall and wears size 18 clothing. I think the better term is "denial."Norman said:And a good point made by Integral, for some reason shortness in men is not as socially acceptable, while petite women get there own adjective...
Well, that and we already have evidence that some people outright lie on PF polls. What did we get, about 30% of respondents saying they NEVER reply to polls?Integral said:Polls such as this are not a random sample, you can expect to get a higher then average mean. Taller guys are more likely to respond then the shorter ones.
I agree completely. The site lists 4,621 active members, but it's extremely rare to get even 46 responses to polls. Even allowing for the fact that there may be some members who have responded to only one poll, clearly the majority of PF members refused to admit that they never reply to polls.Moonbear said:Well, that and we already have evidence that some people outright lie on PF polls.
