Girls with 3 kids always tryna flirt. Settle down stripper, I just want a lap dance.
[–]Paladin290357 points58 points59 points 8 years ago (31 children) | Copy Link
I love how they associate height with manliness.
The toughest — and most ruthless — guys I ever knew were about below average - average height.
The lion is also nowhere near the tallest animal, yet he’s the king of the jungle.
[–]gravelheart 37 points38 points39 points 8 years ago (11 children) | Copy Link
Yup, just watch UFC.
Most of the fighters are under 6' and would make these height queens cream their fucking undies.
Also I've known plenty of effeminate tall guys who would get their asses kicked by many of the short dudes I know. Think pitbull vs. greyhound.
[–]CeleritySteam15 points16 points17 points 8 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link
Not surprising. Lower center of gravity, more muscle at any given weight class, and a taller fighter is swinging down at them. Only catch is less reach.

[–]SpongeGar1234 1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
well swinging down is more of a god thing, you lose force resisting gravity. and in a street fight raw strength is important. i think whether or not its good to be short depends on the fight. this is coming from a short guy.

I'm 6'2'' and keep my head down and no one bothers me. Because most people know that if I'm pushed to the limit my suplex or right hook or right knee will land them in the hospital crippled.
[–]Ohboohoolittlegirl0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Me too, though I am 6'3'. But I know my way in a fight if I get in one. Black belt in Judo, so even if I get pulled on the ground I can hold my own in most cases. Not a good puncher though.. I'll knock the air out of your lungs and then choke you
[–]givecake[🍰] 1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yes, but I think you'll find that's largely due to numbers. There are simply more 5 somethings, than 6 somethings. You're more likely to find more hard-asses by ratio..

Average navy seal is 5’10” and the most decorated war hero in US history with an unprecedented number of acts of valor and hundreds of recorded kills was something like 5’5”.

Yes but none of them would lay a finder on someone like Jon Jones or Fedor Emelienko.

Luckily for them, real war isn't fought hand to hand.
[–]ZergSuperHighway-2 points-1 points0 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Exactly. Battle is not a fight in the ring or cage l. And unluckily for Seals there are rules to fights, but also a completely different training and work ethic involved.
The train of thought that seals are a certain height on average therefore the toughest men are average height is completely flawed.
[–]ididntsaythatspez 1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Height has definitely got its uses/advantages, without a doubt. But they extend less far than you might think in the masculine endeavors of war and survival.
[–]ZergSuperHighway1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
That's exactly my point if you read my other comment further down. The idea that the toughest or strongest guys out there are all average height is confirmation bias.
As I said before it's not the dog in the fight, but the fight in the dog.

Fedor is about 5'10 or 5'11 or so. Maybe you meant Jones or Ngannou? But yeah I think Fedor could beat them at his prime.

Audie Murphy.

Audie Murphy
Audie Leon Murphy (20 June 1925 – 28 May 1971) was one of the most decorated American combat soldiers of World War II, receiving every military combat award for valor available from the U.S. Army, as well as French and Belgian awards for heroism. Murphy received the Medal of Honor for valor demonstrated at the age of 19 for single-handedly holding off an entire company of German soldiers for an hour at the Colmar Pocket in France in January 1945, then leading a successful counterattack while wounded and out of ammunition. Murphy was born into a large sharecropper family in Hunt County, Texas. His father abandoned them, and his mother died when he was a teenager.

Yup. Cursory googling/wikipediaing makes it sound like he is famous only from the one incident where he held off a platoon, but a while back I read through his deployment history. If I recall correctly there were many equally crazy events. The vibe you get is that he repeatedly made choices like a man with a death wish but just kept not dying and instead wracked up insane accomplishment after insane accomplishment.

They also associated facial hair with manliness. Yet seem to be butt hurt about the height issue...
[–]GuidoBandito3 points4 points5 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I know it’s Tom Cruise and Hollywood , but this fight scene shows that height doesn’t mean much.

All of this talk about height and fighting. None of it has anything to do with anything.
It's not about the dog in the fight, it's the fight in the dog.
None of this pitbull vs greyhound fucking bullshit.
Please cut out the stereotypes and over-simplifications.
I'm 6'2'' and my shorter, wider, more muscular friends have been ruffing me up for years. Why? Because I have to let them.
The few times I've actually lost my temper or got serious, I put the fear of god in their eyes. Even shit faced with liquid courage you see that change in their eyes. From "I bench so much I'm the baddest motherfucker here" to "please don't hurt me, I meant nothing by it". That same fear someone gets when they're accosted by a wild fucking animal. They root themselves right where they're standing and their eyes just freeze and their skin turns white.
It has nothing to do with size or lack there of.
It has nothing to do with height. Granted some men who feel small will overcompensate and bully their whole lives.
But imagine being the friendly giant your whole life. You're naturally bigger and stronger than everyone around you. 7/10 men will fuck with you relentlessly to "put you in your place" or make you feel lesser than them.
You have to let them. You have to put your head down and take the abuse, always.
A chihuahua will constantly snarl and nip the legs or face of a pit bull. The pit bull will never do anything except give it some space.
A German Shepard or a lab or a big ass dog will constantly move in on the pit bull and show dominance the pit bull will let him have it's day.
The pitbull knows he'll get his turn in line.
The pitbull knows no matter how hard the other dogs can bite, the pit bull can bite harder. And if he does, he's always the one put to sleep.
A real fighter knows this. No matter how much someone fucks with him, he does not retaliate until it's real defense. Because if he does, he's going to jail for ruining a weaker man's life.
All this talk about the toughest guys being the smaller ones.
Why then does the UFC have weight classes?
You really think MacGreggor will go in there and just show his dominance to Jon fucking Jones? Or prime Emelienko? If you think so you are 100% delusional.
Then again look at Sakuraba. 185lbs of pure Chimpanzee killing machine; took on dudes 20 lbs bigger for years.
Stop all this over simplifying bullshit.
[–]emmysolitary 2 points3 points4 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I can kinda see what you mean.
Btw the weight classes are rankings in a way. Mostly the heavier people are higher ranked than the lighter guys.
Sakuraba isn't small.
[–]MushroomMGTOW1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Totally understand your point. Good post. I'm only 5'11 and 140lb's but I have a gentle giant friend when we go to parties he's always complaining to me that people are trying to "Act to hard around him" for some reason.

Simo Häyhä
Simo "Simuna" Häyhä (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈsimo̞ ˈhæy̯ɦæ]; 17 December 1905 – 1 April 2002), nicknamed "White Death" (Russian: Белая смерть, Belaya Smert; Finnish: valkoinen kuolema; Swedish: den vita döden) by the Red Army, was a Finnish sniper. Using a Finnish-produced M/28-30 rifle (a variant of the Mosin–Nagant rifle) and the Suomi KP/-31 submachine gun, he is reported by western sources to have killed 505 men during the 1939–40 Winter War, the highest recorded number of sniper kills in any major war. However, Antti Rantama (Häyhä's unit military chaplain), credited only 259 confirmed sniper kills were made by Simo Häyhä during the Winter War. Häyhä wrote in his diary, found in 2017, that estimate he killed from 100 to over 500 Soviet soldiers (by both sniper rifle and machine/submachine gun).

6'4" full bearded man here. I used to not care about women ragging on short guys. Now it pisses me off enough where I always throw out a weight comment as a natural reflex/rebuttal. Somehow it's always appropriate.
