Off Topic

I have made this topic to discuss the personal opinions of people regarding the advantages and disadvantages of being short and tall.
Tall
Pros

  • You can reach stuff on high shelves
  • You gain the ability to peer over the heads of people
  • Larger strides
  • Less vulnerable face from sputtering oil

Cons

  • Face can often get hit by low hanging branches
  • Low shelves get slightly more difficult to access
  • People talk about you
  • You look foreign
  • You fit in less places than a shorter person
  • Bed space and clothing

this made me laugh more than it should

Anyway for short (I am a certified short because 4’8")

Pros

  • Cute
  • Boys will simp for you even more
  • Versatile cuddling
  • Flexible
  • Hide n Seek
  • Typically very agile
  • Clothes are cheap and always look pretty good if you like baggy

Cons

  • Need stools for everything if you can’t reach and need two hands to hold thing
  • Can’t see shit for a lot of situations
  • If you’re a boy you’re hopeless
  • People will mention it a lot (I’m usually identified by my ethnicity and height)
  • Really difficult to find suitable cars/motorcycles (seriously, I can ride like maybe one or two and they still need to be modded)
  • Clothing (specifically shoes) can be hard to find
  • Gaining weight isnmore noticable
  • Need help getting stuff (i.e. I can’t use both ovens at work because I literally burn myself trying because I can’t see into it or get the right angle to grab stuff)

I’m 5’9" but I kinda want to be taller ngl, plus the perks about short people is that you can easily carry them (and possibly yeet them)

I can say the same about some cars. Still haven’t stopped growing (186cm) and the roof of cars are getting closer and closer. And yeah it is true how shorter people gain weight more easily as I need around 16000kcals for my recommended daily intake so it is harder for me to gain weight.

I can easily carry this 175cm dude who weighs 40kgs. Imagine if he was any shorter
