I'm 5'6" and I believe all of my employees are taller than me.... except one. For a short sh!t I seem to be doing OK. The worst part of being short is coaching a 12yr old baseball team and being one of the shortest people in the team pic!
I'm sorry, but I just couldn't take a 5'6" dude coaching my 12 year old son seriously. Like, how could you even throw batting practice?

It's not like it's a conscious decision. It is done at the subconscious level. You can't control it. You think taller people are brighter and sharper than they truly are.

I want to say it was in Freakanomics or one of their articles/podcasts, it was something like that. I have tried to google but whenever you look up Buffett and the word short it gives results talking about shorting stocks.

Again, take a look at Saban's height.

Exactly, its the same with good looking fit people versus ugly slobs. The ugly slob may be just as intelligent but people will take the good looking fit person more serious every single time.
INB4 LE says I would know because I am an ugly slob.

It's their lot in life. They drew the short straw.

Why are you so obsessed with height? You talk about it all the time.
It's almost like you're so insecure about the rest of your life that you use your height to make yourself feel better.

Apples to Oranges.
A little league coach who can provide proper instruction should be taller IMO, otherwise their mechanics could be flawed. Plus, batting practice from a guy who is shorter than a good majority of players isn't all that useful either.

I tried to articulate this as well as possible

Something tells me if a short person had to be around OP for an extended amount of time they'd necessarily display symptoms of "short man syndrome."

Most LL players are nowhere near 5'6". ESPECIALLY in Louisiana.

Short people will try and convince you that they were born that way, but this is simply not the case. It's a choice, a sinful disgusting choice that is an affront to the Lord. God hates shorties.

WTF are you talking about? I never talk about it unless it is in a height thread. Sure, my height is one of the better things I have going for me at the moment but I am not obsessed over it.Posted on 2/25/15 at 10:26 am to Moustache

Yeah, I don't like finding flaws in my logic either.

True. I'm in Texas, so there are quite a few kids around 5'6-5'8. Tall arse Germans.

Norweigens are the one's who have height.

being a short man is worse than being a fat chick imo. fat chick can lose weight and look normal if she really puts in hard work and dicispline. there's nothing you can do about height.
Posted on 2/25/15 at 10:30 am to lsu480
Aren;t you like 6'5"? That's not a good thing IMO. At that point it's just limiting.
