do tall people feel superior?

Edit Post

Quote from: ItsMyLife on March 12, 2015, 05:51:06 PMWhen I wear lifts in university, I feel above average (but not tall). I am so fed up that at 180 cm (with shoes) it is not tall. I expect once I am done I am 182 cm without shoes and 185 with basketball shoes.
 
And to the question: yes, I think some tall people feel superior. Only some.

But most, don't even care about their height.

I had a few project buddies and the fact that I towered over them, made me feel better..

If your mind registers that short = inferior, then your mind will register the flip-side, ie tall = superior.if that make sense.

It'sHisLife is right. Some tall people don't care about their height. Only "if your mind registers that short = inferior, then your mind will register the flip-side, ie tall = superior"

Certainly. When you tower over another man, and are the superior physical specimen, how do you not feel superior? Maybe you don't get that satisfaction all the time, or it's only conscious some of the time, but it still applies and it still happens at least occasionally when it happens. It's not fair, it's not just, it's simply primal and instinctual. You know you are an ahole for feeling superior to the ugly short guy but those feelings come anyway. It's like feeling attracted to the pretty dumb girl versus the bookish, acne faced girl with A cups. It's simply primal and ingrained. Just look at all the competitions between the males of different species for mating rights, territory, etc. Look at all the animals with signals for physical supremacy like antlers/plumes/etc.

Now, extrapolate this to the life of tall, handsome men. A life of towering and being just physically better than other males. Of course most of them probably feel superior to other men (who are shorter/uglier than them) quite frequently.

I think you re right, I want to do ll not to feel inferior, but if I feel inferior I HAVE to admit that I may feel superior after ll, but on the other hand 187 cm is not enough to dominate the crowd
so I might not feel superior, but I know that I WILL compete the tall guys at 187 cm

Go for it. My French french Jaque is 5'11 who only hits on Korean girls. I always secretly thought he could improve myself by adding on a few extra cms to be in par with one of those macho white dude at the club in tank top and meat head.

The worst that could happen to you is buyer's remorse. If you don't feel like you won't regret your decision and this will make you happy, go for it. Who cares about what other people say. People usually say things for themselves or to make themselves feel better. If you think this will improve your life, stop reading/thinking/waste further time.. you already got all the info you needed.. and go for it. Good-luck

Well shouldn't this comparison be between two guys that are similar aside from height?

At 170 I definitely feel something standing next to my 165 friend.. and I remember once he once pointed out in a picture where he was standing next to a 158 guy "holy crap, I tower over that guy!"

As a 170 guy I already feel like every inch counts. At 165, a guy would be close to the average height of girls without heels so I can feel their pain.

Bravo for this very honest post of yours. I can only speak from my own experience, but whenever I am noticeably taller than another male I generally breathe a sigh of relief and lower my guard, and feel completely confident talking to this guy. Superiority  doesn't pop up in my mind directly, but i'm sure it is there subconsciously and thus affects my dynamics with him.

 The tallest male in the room is always going to breathe easy, knowing he has that inherent value he can wager in his favor. LL would be worth it for the proven advantage in male social dynamics alone, let alone the concrete, also well-proven advantages you have with women.
