Though I think he's growing up to be a fine young lad, all things considered.

This thread is sort of making me want a little brother to beat up, I feel left out!

Just don't get two, the screams of pain from the youngest when the middle child learns to beat are annoying.

You are 100% correct. Though I blame myself for setting the example in the first place, it's not on.

Well as a younger brother I can say that it doesn't work. Actually, I try to be nice to my older brother, and as such, no beating. And now I'm just as tall as him.

My younger Brother is now an RN working on an MD,I like to believe that my constant pummeling of him in our youth fostered his interest in the medical field.

Interesting... I plan on going into the medical field, yet my brother was fairly nice to me...

I don't think FITZZ was being serious.

Wait... people aren't serious on the internet?

... I have a whole lot of posts to go delete, starting with youtube.

yeah some girls really like tall guys. They never ever brag about having a short boyfriend.. Ever.

To be fair some of us are 5'8 ourselves. I dated a couple guys who were shorter than me and it just doesn't feel right.

Well that sucks for me because I'm 5'6" and most of the good-looking girls are taller than me.

Maybe they'll find you cute for your size? (I kid, I kid)

In all seriousness, I doubt height is going to matter that much if someone really likes you. 'Sides, how tall can those girls be?

It's kind of a biological thing. Women are predisposed to like taller men. It's a genetic advantage.

Huh. I've seen some pretty tall women, but all the girls that I've seen are pretty short. At least where I live.

It's suggested that it's "hardwired" into Females,after thousands of years of evolution,that taller Males =healthier/better mates.

So a 5'10" sailor screams "I'm mad hot. Have sex with me and I will make you a god"?

I am 6'2". Why are women not throwing themselves at me?

Do you have a body that would act as a trampoline towards said women?

This is not solely a female thing. Men like to be the taller one in a couple as it subscribes to his role as the dominant one in the relationship. Women like taller men because it is a signature of testosterone. But above all that a couple walking down the street side by side with a tall female and short male just looks awkward and Girls in particular seem fairly concious of that.

Not exactly,but...in some researchers opinions,woman are attracted to taller men due to the fact that for thousands of years a taller Male represented a stronger,healthier, more capable provider/protector.
...When the Sabre tooth tiger showed up,apparently it was a better idea to have the tall/strong mate.

It's not the tiger that women need to worry about - it's the 5'6" guy. Simply by being bigger and stronger, 5'10" guy had a better chance of beating the little dude down to keep his girl.

This conversation is going into something I'd like to discuss.

I have a 5'1" friend. He is one of the vilest, most swear filled people I've ever met. Yet when I tell people he's not the cute midget they make him out to be, they stand in shock.

How do I explain to women that no matter a man's height, he's going to out curse a sailor when he's in a bind?

Bring the guy to the girl and kick him somewhere painfull? Like his shins, for example.

Simply tell them that he suffer from LMS, and they'll nod their heads sadly in understanding.

AH.

You see, this "little man" plays Eldar. Quite fiercely. He also plays 'Nids. This is one of the manliest men I know, in fact. And women treat him like a human teddy bear. I have a lot of short friends, and they all seem to be very swear filled and, how do I put this, malevolent people. One of them watched me break my arm and they laughed. I laughed when he tripped, and a girl slapped me while two others went to check on him.
