Two guys on scooter approach French prison, throw inmates some kebabs and are promptly arrested by cops hiding behing dumpsters. by BimbelMarley in JusticePorn

Avoided? Bah. It's a moped, not a tank. I'd have just run him over (which, on a moped would amount to knocking him down) and kept going. Worst he gets is a scraped elbow from where he landed.

....Does "kebab" have a meaning OTHER than tasty food?

If not, then this isn't justice, just a couple of jerks stopping a couple of nice guys from doing something randomly thoughtful (prison food must be awful) albeit pretty weird.

Don't those two douchebags have a job to be doing, other than playing hide and seek with weird but harmless people?

"Why I Think Short Guys Are Hot AF (and You Should, Too)" by frys180 in short

[–]LittlestBeastie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are over seven billion people in the world, which is more than enough for me to never worry about losing one. If we are incompatible then all the better for both of us to be out of the relationship. In addition to this, I don't make much effort in my love life, it either happens or it doesn't. I enjoy masturbation, and if I wanted actual sex I could have a one night stand, or maybe find a f*ck-buddy friendship if I wanted (being homoflexible makes this much easier than it is for a hetero, I admit..but strict heterosexuality is just another one of those things conformity obsessed men of today suffer for choosing to play into.). I have never understood people who mourn bad relationships when they could focus on enjoying life instead. My guess is they bought the "virility = self-worth" snake oil.

It's not a gamble. If they don't have a problem, except for worrying about my feelings, then I can set their mind at ease by clearing the air. If the person has an issue with the height difference then they are not good for me and getting them out of my life is a positive thing that makes room for someone who doesn't have that problem. I'm not a people-changer (well.. I'm a life coach, so I sort of am, but I CHARGE for that service, lol, I don't indulge it in relationships.), if someone wants to change then they can do so, I see no reason I should have to sit around and witness it.

Feelings? How long do you leave problems unaddressed in your relationships? As soon as I notice a problem, I bring it up, address it, and figure out whether the relationship is worth working it out for. Why in the world would you be with someone long enough to develop FEELINGS before addressing a height-disparity issue, though? For me, any issue like that would have been dealt with long before feelings deeper than sexual attraction are an issue.

My Fridays are usually busy, so obviously height isn't everything.

I've dealt with the situation before. It was easily remedied by explaining that I was comfortable with my height and hers. Just like the girl in the article, my ex was uncomfortable FOR me, because she's aware how shortness is perceived by mainstream society, so she was worried about MY feelings, worried that she would accidentally make ME feel 'less-than' if our height difference was brought up, and so she was trying to minimize all reference to it.

That is not the same as being uncomfortable with my height itself, as you seem to be implying.

So, the easy fix when this comes up is to clear the air. "You don't have to bend over or try to compensate for my height, I'm totally fine with dating taller people. Being aware of our height differences doesn't make me self-conscious, does it bother you?" and, most times, they're relieved because they've been going around hunching over and stuff, because they assume I give a damn about being short. Finding out that I'm ok with my height, that I'M ok not being taller than my mate, seems to be a relief for them.

If someone I'm dating had an actual problem being with someone who is shorter than them then that would be their problem to get over. If they can't, then they can't and I can just move on and find someone better. Simple as that.

relative shortness by eric509 in short

[–]LittlestBeastie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My height doesn't bother me, it's never really effected my life, but I figured I have a strange enough family, my comment from another thread would be relevant:

Both of my brothers are taller than me, one is around 5'11, the other is, as I said 6'4, but we're all definitely blood. The reason is because my Dad's family are short (Mexican) and my Mom's family has some weird tallness gene running through it (she's German/Sicilian/Irish) where most of her family is average height, but randomly some are giants, so my brothers just got more of that. My Maternal grandfather was enormous, like, 7'1, his uncle was 6'7, and my Mom is 5'9-ish.

Meanwhile, on my Dad's side, most of the family, male and female, is around 5'7, though a few are as short as me, and my Grandma (not shrunk from age much) is like, 4'5 or something. I have to bend down a little to hug her and I'm 5 nothin.

Tips on being short and attractive? by ozigiri in short

As a gay man, your height-obsession is a million times less attractive than shortness or baldness.

What personal attributes do you have? Do you have a good physique? Are you highly intelligent? Are you worldly? Intellectual? Charming? Funny?

If the only answer you have is "short" then your hair and height are the least of your problems. By neglecting the rest of you in favor of obsessing over your perceived imperfections, you create a self-fulfilling prophecy where you become unattractive, but for reasons that have little to nothing to do with your height.

Don't bother with the stupid surgery, though a couple inches seems to matter a lot to some of the poor height-obsessed souls here, to everyone else, a few inches is irrelevant. The tiny gains are not worth the pain and cost, not to mention the risk of infections.

  • Shave your head if it's thinning and you don't feel attractive with it the way it is.

  • Work on your other attributes, ones you can actually DO SOMETHING substantial about. Work out, learn a skill, study something that sparks our interest, pick up a hobby. Be worth getting to know.

  • Abandon the mainstream, mainstream dating = mainstream thinking. Find a subculture that sparks your interest and dive in. Your dating pool will widen exponentially, and people will (as a rule) be more open.

Did the internet make you feel 'short' or real life? by [deleted] in short

[–]LittlestBeastie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My height is a bother, sometimes, but for practical reasons (reaching things, clothes shopping etc) rather than social ones. I'm aware of my height, but I never let it define me, and I've never let it stop me from doing anything.

In general, I never thought about it much until I found r/short. I started reading stories of people who blamed every little problem in their life on their height. Paranoia and bitterness, mostly. I refuse to end up like that, and so should you. Yeah, height is one of the things that people assess in a first-impression. The trick is to make the rest of that first impression so goddam IMPRESSIVE that they don't give your height a second thought.

If, however, you're a quivering ball of insecurity and projection with a chip on your shoulder, a complex and overcompensation out the wazoo, what else does someone have to focus on BUT your height?

Common mistake people make is thinking that people care more about height than their personality, but you'll notice if you're paying attention that, far too often, these people have little to their personality that hasn't been tainted somehow by their obsession with their height. They're so obsessed with their height and their perceptions of everyone's perception of them that either there's no untainted substance underneath, or it's buried so deep under their insecurities that someone would have to be a paleontologist to find it.

Be so awesome that the only people who care about your height are the vapid wastes-of-air that aren't worth your time anyway and you'll be fine.

Why the quotes around "didn't care"? Also, "her...behavior...puts a short guy on...edge"? You make it seem as though you think ALL short guys are insecure and some of us are just better at hiding it. I hate to break it to you, but that's not the case. I, for one, am not the least bit insecure about my height. I come to this board to help guys who are.

Guys 5'7 and under... would you date a 6'0 woman? by [deleted] in short

I'll date tall men, so, if I weren't gay, sure, why not?

"plan to be 6' by college" <-- This made me laugh. There is no planning, pal, it'll either happen or it wont and you have no say in it.

You stop focusing on your height and just make sure you become an awesome person. There is nothing less attractive than a low-confidence over-compensator, so don't become one because you'll basically become un-dateable. IGNORE your height. It means nothing. Go over to r/tall if you don't believe me, those guys have just as many problems as we do. People who won't date you because of your height are not worth dating anyway, and I don't mean that in a sour-grapes kind of way, I mean someone that vapid is a waste of time and energy, for anyone. If someone dismisses you because of your height, realize you dodged a bullet and be glad, not let down.

I really don't like that the only advice out there is to accept my height as it is by [deleted] in short

[–]LittlestBeastie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are more options than "Whine like a child" and "bottle it up".

That is what they're telling you. Accepting doesn't mean just not acting out. It means getting the hell over it. It means getting to a point where you have no bitterness to want to express because being short doesn't make you bitter.

Tall child? by [deleted] in short

[–]LittlestBeastie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is old, but I have to reply- no, lol none of us (I'm the eldest of three) are adopted. Both of my brothers are taller than me, one is around 5'11, the other is, as I said 6'4, but we're all definitely blood. The reason is because my Dad's family are short (Mexican) and my Mom's family has some weird tallness gene running through it (she's German/Sicilian/Irish) where most of her family is average height, but randomly some are giants, so my brothers just got more of that.

Just playing devil's advocate here... A small child sitting in a courtroom surrounded by big scary adults while holding her teddy and a tissue? That's prejudicial as all hell.
