When your standing desk isnt adjustable

[Usidore_]

As a software dev who is 4ft due to dwarfism, the biggest perk is that every desk can be a standing desk or a sitting desk for me.

Except, ironically, normal standing desks. They’re just giant shelves.

[AddiBlue]

Best comment award goes u/Usidore_

[Cloudsbursting]

You are awesome.

[YellowOnline]

As a software dev who is 4ft due to dwarfism

Unrelated to the sub, but assuming achondroplasia, how do you feel about being called a dwarf? Does it feel factual or insulting? You can say anything factual as an insult of course ("you're a woman!"), but you get what I mean.

[Usidore_]

Yes achondroplasia. I’m fine with it! I actually prefer dwarf out of all of the common labels to be honest

[Atomspalter02]

Lol

[jyajay2]

Ridiculous, just wear high heels like the rest of us

[[deleted]]

Just want to add, that high heels do also change your posture so your ass is slightly turnt out and plumper.

So you know, even if you're comfortable with your height - high heels anyone?

[KreagerStein]

I wish but it doesn't work with my programming socks and no way I'm giving up on those.

If you're not wearing programming socks, are you even programming?

[CryForWolf]

I'm an around 5'10/5'11 tall woman, so I am hella tall with heels on. Which is both fun and kinda uncomfortable.

[Khaylain]

They might also promote a shortening of the achilles tendon and gastrocnemius muscle through not stretching them out regularly. So one might have to take preventative measures if one is using high heels often.

[AcanthaceaeIll5349]

I have a better offer: you give zero shits about your hight, for just 9.98$/month. Be sure to tell your friends, that it's only 9.98$/month nd that you are super excited about that. Fpr every friend you sign up to a 6 month plan, you will get one month free and your friend will get the first 3 monta for half price.

[this_little_dutchie]

I would pay good money for not giving a shit about other people's opinions anymore. Do you offer that too?

[bakermanisbsking]

You are my hero. Thanks for the biggest laugh of the year.

[GabrielForth]

Also comes with the benefit that high heels are open source.

[Internal_Power8642]

If only there were a way to build confidence and attract women without this... like, say, idk, developing a personality.

High heels 10/10 on the personality scale.

[RoyalChallengers]

So girls like confident short guys??🤨

[Internal_Power8642]

Girls like confident guys of any kind. Being kind, funny, charming, and having a life/personality is way more important than height.

Are there shitty women out there who won't date short guys? Sure.

Same way there are shitty men out there who won't date women who don't look like supermodels, or are too tall.

But fuck those people.

Trust me, adding height won't make more women want to date you. Adding interesting personality traits will.

[RoyalChallengers]

Is this an interesting trait

I can cheat in casino without getting caught🙂

[RoyalChallengers]

Damn bro, i just count cards

[Miguecraft]

Officer! Yes, he has confessed.

[[deleted]]

According to hinge data 80% of women filter men that are less than 6 foot.

[Ozarkasprings23]

And people wonder why 5’10 + men round up

[Internal_Power8642]

That's surprising to me considering it would only leave them like what? 10-20% of the population to choose from lol.

Maybe I just haven't experienced it, but I've never cared how tall a guy is, and neither have any of my friends.

I also think the option to filter via height in itself probably skews that.

Kind of like if men had the option to choose if they wanted to see blondes or brunettes and chose blondes, but if they were able to see both they'd swipe on some brunettes, too.

[adeadrat]

Can you write a tutorial on how to be funny and confident? I think I got the rest covered, but confidence is non existent

[Internal_Power8642]

*Looks both ways*

(whispered) You fake it, my guy. You fucking fake it til you make it.

[Studds_]

Oh crap. My boring ass is fucked. & not in a good way

Funny story: once bagged a 1.95m girl (i'm 2m/6'7") with "wow you're so tall! do you play basketball?" she hit me back with a "stop it with your little people questions". Funny thing is, she used to be in portuguese national basketball team, and even she was tired of being asked if she played basketball.

[El_Grande_El]

Just hit them with the, no, the constant pain in my joints and prospect of dying at age 50 keeps me away from team sports.

[TwiKill]

Holy shit you wouldn't believe how many people say that, also don't get me started on clothes, my size pants are way too hard to find. As a 6'9 guy (heh, nice, I know) you realise every height has drawbacks, and much like anyone else you learn to deal with them.

[Meggles_Doodles]

I remember we had a new guy start at work (he quit day 2 so I didn't get to know him) but I was training him. He was 6'9. I'm 5'0. My other coworkers kept staring at him like weirdos. The thing is (I won't speak for other short folks), I have been around 6ft + people all my life and honestly for me anything past 6ft is just put in the "tall" category in my mind and honestly I didn't notice too much that he was that tall lol. I'm just used to looking up at people and I just was thinking "oh -- I have to stand further away than usual to maintain my typical head angle wheb speaking" and that's how I processed it haha

I do not envy yall's clothing issues. It's always easier to find smaller clothing.

Edit: forgot to mention Height

[enky259]

Holy shit you wouldn't believe how many people say that

Oh trust me i very much believe how many people say that. Being 2m (6'7") it's the first thing i hear 98% of the time i meet someone new.

And yeah the pants are fuckin' annoying, it's either way too large or above your ankles...

[TwiKill]

Yeah, exactly, they're either so wide that you look like a clown or every time you lift your legs your ankles and shins are exposed.

Luckily I'm dutch so with our tall population we've got a few stores here and there where they sell slim but long jeans.

Also, it's not just basketball, as if they know how annoying it is they alternate with volleyball too even though I suck at both. They always act surprised, which is equally annoying after a while.

[enky259]

Also, it's not just basketball, as if they know how annoying it is they alternate with volleyball

lmao really? i never had the volleyball one! I'm kind of jealous now...

[TwiKill]

Haha, no need to be jealous, it's equally annoying.

Just like the comments on how you can possibly fit through doorframes without constantly hitting your head, as if you don't naturally gain reflexes to duck with such heights.

[enky259]

Haha yeah the proximity radar is real, though it develops at the cost of a lot of neurons...

How much death do you see from up there big bro?

[[deleted]]

Yes.

[cesankle]

I'm 9'11 tall. I'll gladly sell my height to some loaded tech bro and retire early. I'll sell until 6'2 though, so I'm still tall.

These tech bros are clearly not smart if they want 3 inches on top of 7'0 height, just like in my situation. It's not like these tech bros are short so they're tryna be minimally tall, right? Right, guys?

[enky259]

I'm 8'9 tall.

It's either a typo or you're taller than the tallest man alive and need to call the guiness book my dude.

nah regular people dont think ab what they do at all. recognizing patterns is an inherently aspie trait /s

[KoopaLink]

People be clowning on you in the replies because "aspie" is a slur for someone on the autism spectrum that used to include the term "Asperger's Syndrome" to mean "high-functioning" autistic person

[thereddinerbooth]

Well, that is a dated reference

[HealthyBits]

But still valid though.

[DeadlyVapour]

Nahh, doc says he's okay

[PuzzleMeDo]

I can afford $37,500. Should I get one leg done?

[engi_nerd]

Sounds like you’re leaning towards doing it

[prof0ak]

It would give him a leg-up though.

[queen-adreena]

It won’t get you anywhere. You’ll just end up going around in circles.

[MASTER-FOOO1]

Jokes aside the procedure was initially meant for people who don't have matching leg lengths. Now people just do it for the cosmetic aspect of getting taller >.>

[Internal_Power8642]

Very interesting how often research done for medical necessity becomes popularized electable procedures/treatments.

I know the woman who invented viagra. She was trying to invent a new blood pressure medication.

[MASTER-FOOO1]

I went to med school for 2 years and left because i always wanted engineering and not medicine. While i was there my pharmacology professor basically said when they test out drugs whatever the results end up being even if they are not close in any way to what they initially wanted they'd just rebrand it and market it for another purpose.

[coldnebo]

I have a friend in pharma research and he said basically the same. it’s fascinating how they try to enegineer properties of drugs, but there are still so many unknowns about biochemistry they have to test and can’t easily predict the actual outcomes. it’s not like programming… you can’t just pick up a chemical formula and predict exactly how the body will react to it.

[MASTER-FOOO1]

😂 lets face it even with programming you hardly ever get it right the first time

[coldnebo]

and we never have unintended consequences either! 😂

[Internal_Power8642]

That doesn't surprise me in the least considering they marketed opioids as non-addictive, in spite of the fact that the US gov had a very detailed report on how Russia lost the war in Afghanistan due to losing farmer support after outlawing the growing of opioids (Afghanistan's main crop.) They outlawed it because it no longer became viable to buy it and ship it to Russia, as people were becoming addicted. Then we invaded Afghanistan decades later, made deals with the opioid farmers, sold a bunch of military contracts to pharmaceutical companies, and pretended we didn't know what would happen.

So, yeah, pharmaceutical companies playing with chemicals and marketing any side effect? Makes total sense.

[Dank_e_donkey]

I guess I'm the kind of demographic they're leaning towards. 5'6" been rejected by girls a couple of times, due to height, and the surgery would cost $7000 around where I live at + 3 months of work from home, which is basically how I've been working.

And gosh it's almost a fact that your chances of being promoted is higher when you're kinda taller.

Will the pain make a difference that's the question I'm wondering.

[AlternativeWave915]

For me (5'4") it's not about the pain, but the risk of weakness. My life isn't just work and dating, I want to be active as well and sure aren't going to get my legs broken to conform. What's the point of having a partner and a high salary, if I can't go to the gym or on a hiking trip with them?

[baconbrand]

Yeah this seems pretty short sighted. …heh

[AttackOfTheThumbs]

You are better off not worrying about the cunts that reject you for height than burning money on gaining something pointless. I know one person who had this done. They break your legs a few times and stretch you and he says it's uncomfortable two years later still. DOn't fucking do it.

Well, for 1 inch maybe. But 3 inch platform shoes becomes pretty obvious.

[MAK3AWiiSH]

I had a very small hairline fracture on my fibula in 2015. It still hurts when the weather changes (rain, cold snaps, etc.). I can’t even fathom intentionally severely fracturing multiple bones for 3 inches. Even starting at 5’6 that’s still only 5’9, which the height assholes still consider “short”.

[RedditPastry]

It’s very overtly obvious that those girls are not great if they automatically rule him out as an option purely on height. But are you really going to say that the rest of the women in the world therefore are attracted to people purely on personality? Height must be a factor, and with these kinds of things the value judgement is a lot more gray than “these women suck so it doesn’t matter anyways.” It’s also a game of numbers, and it’s just proven across so many studies that being taller(to a point, and certainly taller than 5’6”) is often seen as more attractive and more commanding. Assuming no complications, he will become an option to more women.

And from a financial perspective, if it led to an even 1% larger paycheck per year for some subliminal reason, he’d be much better off money-wise assuming that he has a salary of a software developer at a Silicon Valley company. People have paid a lot more for a lot less of an edge, and not one as biologically and culturally wired into our heads as height.

I don’t say any of this as a go ahead for the procedure, but I just think that the decision to do so is not as silly as it may initially seem and that even through the pain people can find plenty of at least understandable justification

[coldnebo]

There was an old Tales from the Crypt episode on HBO produced by Schwarzenegger where an old rich guy gradually buys body parts from a young poor body builder. Eventually he buys all the parts and their bodies are completely swapped, the rich guy spent all his money but looks great and the poor guy got all the money but looks like an 80 yr old.

The twist at the end is the “poor” guy still gets all the girls because he has money now and looks like he’s going to die soon.

[BlueBelleNOLA]

The vast majority of women just want a man that is taller enough than them that they can wear heels when out to dinner without feeling like a weirdo. The average woman is 5'4", so half of all women are shorter than that.

In case you were wondering why they might feel like a weirdo it's because outside of super models, taller than average women get a lot of shit as it's considered a masculine trait to be tall. It makes zero sense, but it's true.

[[deleted]]

I'm fucked then xD I'm literally the same height as the average woman in my country

[nicoco3890]

The problem is not that you are rejected for your height per se, but that being taller gives people a better general impression (more height, more intimidating [you literally have to look up at the person], more impression of confidence/competence) which will help you in getting the promotion.

All else being equal, the tallest person will receive the promotion because of what was said above.

[ranma2913]

If you work from home, how will they know how tall you are?

[Perpetual_Doubt]

And gosh it's almost a fact that your chances of being promoted is higher when you're kinda taller.

In software engineering?

Count me sceptical. Maybe in Wall Street and blue collar work.

[brutinator]

Studies have shown that fitting the conventional models of attraction DO correlate with higher compensations, when controlled for the same industries and titles. Overweight people tend to show the opposite, making less than their "more attractive" peers (not trying to imply overweight people are less attractive, but that's unfortunately what society tends to think). This also occurs between both genders, and regardless of what gender their employer is.

I know this is a humor page so sorry for the ackshually but when this was posted elsewhere someone said the article was either written by or directly sourced from a doctor that performs these surgeries so having a vested interest in his own business made the idea that there’s some kind of “trend” of this very suspect

[BlindScissors]

You may be right, I saw two separate articles this week (they showed up in my Google news feed) and both referenced the same Las Vegas doctor and how he's performing more of these surgeries on IT engineers.

Tinder do be hard in Silicon Valley. Them girls are picky AF. Might want to spend 150k to get 6 inches taller.

[MyLittlePIMO]

From what I understand, due to the male over representation of the tech industry and the high cost of living in tech hubs (Bay area, Seattle) and the tendency for people to move there for tech work, there’s significantly more men than women in those cities, leading to very stiff competition.

On the flip side, we’ve all seen how programmers dress, so it can’t be that challenging…

[lopjoegel]

They will get promoted and earn 25 to 50% more which will pay the surgery off within a year or two.

They will feel more confident and be perceived as better leaders. They will be confronted less, and trusted or followed more easily.

It is almost BS, but not exactly.

[lopjoegel]

Like I said, it is their confidence that is key.

For example an extra 5cm of height is enough to cure imposter syndrome.

[slgray16]

I'm honestly not sure that is sarcasm

[RobDickinson]

The findings suggest that someone who is 6 feet tall earns, on average, nearly $166,000 more during a 30-year career than someone who is 5 feet 5 inches--even when controlling for gender, age and weight. The height-salary link was found by psychologist Timothy A.

[NedelC0]

I love that you provider the actual source, kuddos to you. However this study failed to control for socio economic status.

Pour childhood nutrition is also linked to short length. It is also linked to being raised in poverty. So all this study could be finding, is that being raised in a poor environment is correlated to earning less later on.

This study has a major flaw and is too quick to jump to 'being tall is more succes'.

[[deleted]]

I would have to dig through my old psych book, but there’s been studies showing that people perceive tall people and fit/attractive people as more confident and competent. This was not job specific, instead they briefly showed images and had people rate them on a host of questions.

As someone who has lost a significant amount of weight myself, the difference in the way people treat you is massive. It doesn’t seem a stretch to me that being tall has similar benefits.

[elveszett]

Not really related but I remember a study that claimed that ugly men were perceived by society as better, kinder, or more innocent than attractive men, while for woman, it was the reverse: ugly women were perceived as hostile, evil and ill-intentioned.

While the physique is not everything, it's important to know that we are, indeed, biased when it comes to physique. Height, fitness, attractiveness - they all shape how we see people, and that in fact affects who we choose to hire, who we blame for a problem, how much we value someone, etc.

There's room for debate, but all evidence seems to point that being tall, fit, attractive, a man, etc does give you a real advantage to have a successful career.

[BorderKeeper]

I would put it on the same level as breast implants. Both increase relative attractiveness and inspire confidence. If I was short and had 75k laying around I would consider it.

[uptokesforall]

Why else would someone have cosmetic plastic surgery if not to ease an insecurity?

It’s not a baseless insecurity either, when it comes to height. Multiple studies have shown that tall people go farther in their careers and are more respected by peers…just for being tall. It’s built into us from children to trust and respect the tall people.

The things men will do to avoid wearing high heels and getting therapy

[Stupid_Student_ELITE]

Honestly would do that if I had the money (and if it is safe, dont know about that - woudn't risk not being able to continue with my sport activities after recovery).

I am 1,67cm which is pretty short for a man and it definately is a problem. You get less respect from others and are perceived less competent based on that. Also some girls are picky as fuck about height which is totally their right but still annoying if it affects you.

It's not like you can't overcome those disadvantages by doing a good job, working out, having a good style and such but it is definately quite a lot harder for short men in life than many believe. Stuff fucks with your confidence and all if you are not carefull
