19 Reasons Why Being Short Is The Best by valboy20(m): 10:23pm On Aug 03, 2014
1. Legroom on airplanes/cars is never an issue.


2. Oh, and of course, long-legged
people who need the front seat are
always grateful when you volunteer to
fit in the back.


3. You can shop in the petites section
AND the regular section.


4. And you’ve been known to
sometimes shop in the kids’ section.
(Cheaper!)


5. You pretty much never have to worry
about being taller than your date.


6. You can be a jockey if you want.


7. Because you have a low center of
gravity, you’re less likely to topple
over.


8. You’ll never be too tall for a bed.


9. You can fit into small spaces if need
be.


10. You never have to worry about
bumping your head on stuff…unlike the pole heighted fellas

11. You can get lower to the ground
when challenged to a game of limbo.


12. Evidence suggests that shorter
people live longer lives.
And there are numerous claims about
short people having fewer health
issues.


13. Short people actually experience
things faster than taller people.
According to one neuroscientist, taller
people take about one-tenth of a
second longer to perceive sensory
information, which makes sense when
you think about it — short people would
have shorter neural pathways, meaning
the distance information travels to your
brain is much shorter.


14. Even though reaching things may
be an issue, tall people always seem to
be friendly enough to help a stranger
out.


15. You can always hem long pants
shorter…but you can’t make too-short
pants longer. So, you win.


16. You’ll never have to worry about
blocking someone’s view in a movie
theater.


17. You can be an expert couchsurfer
because you’ll always fit on a sofa.


18. People tend to mistake you for
being younger than you are (at least, in
your early twenties this seems to
happen a lot).


19. Because you know you’re in good
company with all the other fine short
folks out there.

What is this one saying? angry






Btw : Q:What do you call a midget {short person}
with. Three legs?

A: Tom (DICK) & harry tongue

Q: What do you get when you
cross a midget with a
computer?
A: A short circuit.

Q: What do short people look
forward to in life?
A: Growing up! tongue

Q: Why are most midgets
good guys?
A: Because they don't look
down on people.

If Pluto isn't a planet because
it's too small, then are midgets
really people? angry

I wish I was friends with a
midget so I could introduce
them by saying, "Say hello to
my little friend"cry

I just saw a midget nun and
all I could think was oh ye of
little faith.cheesy

That awkward moment
when you ask a midget what
they want to be when they
grow up.tongue

Last weekend I had about 45
minutes to kill before my
NASCAR race came on TV, so I
decided to watch a short film
on my PC, so I wouldn't miss
the start of my race, so I gooogled short films,
.....and midget porn popped
up, WTF, thats not what I
meant by a short film!! I mean
yeah everybody likes a little
sex but thats ridiculous angry


Op sorry tongue
Re: 19 Reasons Why Being Short Is The Best by nickz(m): 11:29pm On Aug 03, 2014
so,OP what do you suggest i do?? cut my legs undecided,na ur type use umbrella wan bring out my eyeballs today

1. Tall people are more noticeable.

Tall people are more noticeable, of course, but why is it a good thing? I know many of us see it as a detriment sometimes. We want to be avoided, not noticed. If we can turn this around however, it can become exceedingly positive. Being easily noticeable is something we can learn to use to our extreme advantage. There are many situations in life where it can be good to stand out. Can you think of any? It's also great to have a fun personality if we are tall. Being friendly AND noticeable is something we can use to meet new people. Just think about how great that could be.

2. Tall people are perceived as being visibly attractive.

Tall people are seen as visibly attractive. How many times have you heard that girls really like tall guys? It is known that girls seem to enjoy going for taller men. We've heard that tall men have more success dating, make more money, and have more children. So it's definitely attractive to be tall. When it comes to girls, taller girls are very similar. They share many of these same qualities. Please keep this in mind when you think about your height.

3. Tall people seem to be well-respected in today's society.

It seems that tall people are well-respected. People look up to us, they respect us, and they give us attention. We can command respect. This is a great advantage, if you think about it. Being respected makes you feel like a leader. People really value your opinions. It can be a great feeling when someone respects what you think and how you feel about something. Tall people just naturally seem to command respect in almost any kind of social situation. It's amazing to think that something like this can happen just because you happen to be more easily noticeable.

4. Other people want to be tall.

You know it's a great advantage to be tall when other people want to be this way themselves. Lots of guys wish they were taller. Many girls wish they could have more height. There are advertisements all over the internet about "how to grow taller." It is obvious that being tall is something that a LOT of people want. And because we're already tall, we can revel in the fact that we have our height. We are lucky, and special. We have something that many people want.

5. Tall people just look nice. smiley

I've always believed that tall people look really good when they are in great shape. I think our bodies just somehow naturally look nice. I encourage all tall people out there to take up exercise, work out, or do anything you can do for your physical well-being! Being in great shape gives you more energy and makes you feel great. You will have more self-confidence and drive to succeed. Tall guys and girls have bodies that are just suited for being athletic. I would definitely recommend getting in shape if you are a tall person. You won't regret it.

6. Being tall makes us unique.

And last, and maybe most importantly, being tall makes us unique. Being unique is something we can take pride in. I am different from everyone else on the planet. No one else is like me, and no one is like you, either. Tall people have a special situation because their uniqueness is very noticeable by others. You stand out when you're tall. So your uniqueness is accentuated. I bet some people out there only wish that their "unique traits" could stand out just as much. They may wish that they could somehow broadcast their unique traits to the rest of the world. But we don't have to do that. It comes across naturally! Us tall people don't have to worry about how we can show someone that we are unique. It is already a part of us.
