It would really suck to be short. I feel bad for the bros who were kind of tall in first or second grade, but when middle school and high school came around, they had to wear 3" lifts in order to come up to the shoulders of the tall bros.

It's mad funny, I have a buddy who's a teacher. This guy is like 5'5 (which is pitiful let's be honest) and has to wear shoes with lifts to establish a "presence" in his classroom otherwise middle schoolers tower over him (his words not mine).

Another thing is fighting wise. You are short so you'd think there would be instinctive advantages right? Maybe speed? Maybe Quickness? Maybe something? Nah...reach and leverage is everything. Plus you look at a fighter like Jon Jones and his leverage over shorter fighters makes me laugh sometimes. Like how he threw rashad (who's 5'10 btw which is still rather short in my honest opinion).


Even when you watch pumping iron and you see the manlets who are aesthetic for their height next to someone like Arnold..you can't help but laugh. You pan in on that shot of the manlet and you think strong aesthetics, and then you put him next to Arnold and it's like...he might as well find another career. It's like comparing a rotten apple with a worm in it to a prime honey crisp.

Long story short...if you weren't born with the genetic 3 (height, dik size, and intellect) you just ain't going to make it. It's either all 3 or you just aren't going to make it.

6'4 is a tad too high for me
Probably just comes back to having the opposing side of what you already have

Agreed. 6'4 is cool for some sports, but other than that...for everyday life I wish I was a little bit shorter, maybe 6'2.

Height doesn't equal shit for fighting, get in close and that reach advantage doesn't matter

Some of the best boxers weren't even above 6'
