Follow That Bird is the second-best Muppet movie (after The Muppet Movie) and I will fight you if you say otherwise.
Otherwise.

Incels out in force today yikes
Day 2 of reminding the fediverse there are women who prefer shorter guys (source: am one of them). If y’all don’t want them I’ll take them. I’ll take them all.
I’m married to a man the same height as me. Absolutely zero regrets. He’s kind and funny, and my favorite person.
The only thing I’m slightly jealous of is that I might not be able to wear my husband’s ribcage as armor should I outlive him the way that women with taller husband’s can. But that’s life! I love my husband more than I desire widow armor.
I have no idea where your lore is from, but I like it! As a taller and bigger guy, I see no better way to go out than protecting my love my partner from hordes of barbarians. Let my ribs be impenetrable armor and my femur be an armor splitting bludgeon for her berserker rage. Tales will be told and songs will be sung, and …… crap, she’s now my ex. Forget it, I’ll fertilize a tree when the time comes
Thanks! As far as I know I made it up, but it wouldn’t surprise if the concept has appeared elsewhere.
The height preference thing always kinda reminded me of orcs or amazons and I figured those archetypal societies would do something like that… plus I saw an opportunity to make a joke. I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Also I really enjoyed the picture you painted with it! That was a fun read. I hope you find that badass lady to wear your ribcage in battle one day!
Height and attractiveness have nothing to do with each other for me, but I do wish someone would find a way to make my wife taller so I wouldn’t have to keep getting things off of the top shelves in the cabinets for her.
I imagine there are even women out there who care more about a man’s personality than their height…
Being short isn’t your fault, being a dull cunt is.
Having partners the same height and relative size as you is great as you get to effectively double your wardrobes.
Granted this works best when you both have similar tastes in fashion though.
Dating someone of equal height: you can easily kiss on the lips without anyone awkwardly bending to reach
Dating someone shorter: every hug gets a bonus motor-boating
I can assure you that there are EVEN MORE women out there care about personality AND height…
Does anyone find bitterness and resentment attractive though? Maybe work on that first before you worry about how tall you are.
Good thing I’m tall.

Now I’m interested why and how are you measuring tenths of millimeters
Micrometer
Accurately measure to within 0.001 in. or 0.03mm Measures up to 6 in.

Yeah but it would smoosh into such a limp dick, no way to get an accurate grip.
Now I’m interested what the comment was before deletion.
A lame dick size joke
Kinda obvious in hindsight =/
Im worse than short. Im a bit over average but have short legs and a long torso 💀
The otter look. It’s a good look. Get fit, dress right.
I am fit. I have very broad shoulders from playing water polo and i started swimming at 4 so i look like a dorrito with two short legs.
Meh, you’re just self-conscious.
Kinda yes but at the same time when i still lived in hungary where a lot of people play and know about waterpolo people recognised i play it by my body shape.
Are you ET?
💀
He only waited till he got a green belt.
all it takes
Think it’s complimentary with the long legs
No joke, I wish I could gift some height to another to be shorter.
How much have you got spare?
Not for me, though, just interested. I’m 6’2" and it’s about perfect I think, probably wouldn’t swap it for any other height. I’m tall enough to reach the top shelves of pretty much everything, hit the cancel button on our smoke alarm, see over people at gigs and things, but not so tall that I have problems with fitting into things too often.
Unless you have a passion for cramped supercars or exceed the height of most door frames… why? The ability to reach the top shelf and things placed at height is just so invaluable. And provided you take care of them, knees and hips still allow you to rummage through things on the down low.
Now, if you’re so tall that you routinely crack your forehead on door frames… yeah. I could see why. But then the question becomes, what is affecting your coordination such that it prevents you from earning millions by throwing an orange ball through a netted hoop?
Not OP but the first three things I already experienced today were: Knee and backpain, standing out in a crowd, needing to slightly bend down vor everything in most standard kitchens.
Knee and backpain
Some people lose the genetic lottery in this regard, true, but unless you are elderly, most people can avoid back and leg pain by exercising, stretching, and taking care of your body.
standing out in a crowd
Counterpoint: finding the person you are looking for in a crowd.
needing to slightly bend down vor everything in most standard kitchens.
If you are under the age of 35, I fully acknowledge how the deck of house ownership is stacked against you. But once you own your own home, you can… remodel. Kitchens also come in Big & Tall designs, and not all short(er) spouses mind taller countertops. The kitchen that came with my house is sized perfectly for my wife, and yet she finds the height that woukd be ideal for my height to also be more attractive for her as well.
A lot of tall people have chronic leg and back pain because nothing is designed and built for them in the everyday world. Everything is just a tiny bit to short or small. From stair steps to chairs and tables to desks, to cars, to toilets. Everything is always just a bit off. It doesn’t seem like much, but the accumulative stress and strain on your joints will cause pain. You don’t really notice in your 20’s, but by the time you hit your 30’s you will start to feel it. And as you get older, it won’t get better. Exercising won’t stop the accumulated wear and tear.
And the “Just remodel your kitchen” is a great idea! Why didn’t I think of that? Are you going to drop $50,000 on me to do that? That “Big and Tall” shit costs extra-- a LOT extra because it’s custom. And will you be explaining to my wife why SHE can’t reach anything in the kitchen anymore? And will you make up the cost difference if I sell this house? That remodeled kitchen that fits me will make selling it a lot more difficult because very, very few average sized people would find the extra 2" to 4" higher counter tops and cabinets to be at a comfortable height. Or do I need to remodel it yet again to fit the average person?
And being in a crowd isn’t much fun. The tops of everyone else’s head look pretty much the same. Kind of hard to tell the difference of who’s who. And since few can see over my shoulders, I end up at the back of the crowd to be out of the way which often separates me from my friends. Going to movies or a theater sucks because the seats are too close together and my knees are jammed up against the seat in front of me. It’s painful for me and annoying to the person in front of me. And the person behind me can’t see through my head.
And as far as “tossing and orange ball into a hoop to make millions of dollars.” Not everyone wants to play that game nor do we fall into the .1% of 1% of people on the planet that are actually good enough to get paid millions to play basketball.
Oh, and before I go. Would you mind picking up that pencil off the floor for me? You’re short and much closer to the floor than I am.
Even to Washing hands. Sometimes when I first get up, my back protests about bending over so much to be able to wash hands in my bathroom sink.
Building code has a small range of allowed counter and sink heights, and it’s definitely not for the benefit of taller people. A buddy of mine has vessel sinks, adding like 4” to the height and it is so much easier
Yeah something as simple as washing your hands can be painful at times when you are above average height. The vanities are too short and the faucets set too low. While my wife doesn’t want them in the bathroom, I did put a tall goose neck faucet on the kitchen sink. I don’t need to bend over to use it, so I tend to wash my hands in the kitchen. I would recommend installing one if you can.
On your knees then
I think both of us would be cool with it if I gave height to my buddy until we were the same. I think that puts both of us exactly at average.
Must change your DNA…
The leg lengthening we can do these days doesn’t need or cause a DNA change. Look it up. It’s simultaneously fascinating and horrifying.
I understand, why not just use stilts or shoes with large soles? You would be proportionally off, wouldn’t it be weird to be 6 foot tall and have short arms?
What part of be taller is the goal?
Most often it’s done because of a developmental problem where one leg segment has come out slightly shorter than its counterpart on the other leg, affecting gait and posture. Only one or two bones need to be lengthened if the patient is lucky. Shortening the other leg is probably also an option, but I figure people would want to do something to the affected leg, rather than muck about with the “healthy” one.
There is at least one instance that I recall where someone born with a form of dwarfism had all four limbs - all twelve bones - extended to “normal” length. As to whether it was strictly ethical to do that is an entirely different matter, considering the patient was a child.
I mean, it’s definitely the best time of life to have the lengthening done what with bones being greener and still growing anyway, but the patient wasn’t exactly in the position to be making an informed decision about whether they wanted to go through it.
Shortening the longer leg is much less invasive and probably preferred, but the discrepancy has to be caught very early. You need years of measurements to predict exactly how long each leg will be and when. If you have those, there’s a pretty small window when the long leg is exactly the right length to tell it to stop growing.
What does that have to do with a woman wanting a taller man?
Beating women up cause they don’t find you attractive is funny now?
God damn what a dumb thing to say.
Animals getting tragically crushed to death isn’t funny, but anvils falling on coyote heads in cartoons is.
Not to you, though. You’d find a way to make it a problem. Fuck’s sake.
Okay fat-ass (That’s not an insult, I simply don’t find you attractive.)
This insult now gives me the right to kick you in the face, potentially killing you, and that will be funny.
It gives you the right to imagine a humorous situation where you did, as an outlet for your disgust at how rude it was.
No, it was funny before too.
violence against women is never okay
and yet you probably kicked your own mother in her womb… i cant believe you
Humiliating someone because of their appearance is also not ok.
But getting violent because someone said something mean to you… is?
I don’t get the point you’re trying to make here.
Call that the cunt punt.
I feel like this short king shit is rooted in toxic masculinity and generally gross.
- This is a comic strip on the internet, chill.
- It is toxic to have the response the woman depicted in said comic had over a physical feature that someone has no control over. What genders are involved don’t actually matter.
Mate/partner selection based on physical characteristics is seen all through nature, why would humans be any different? And why would you label that as toxic?
I’m going to assume you aren’t arguing in bad faith and just have poor reading comprehension. In the comic the woman doesn’t just reject the bird, she does so in an unnecessarily cruel way. It’s fine if you have a type, but if you make people who aren’t that type feel bad about themselves for things outside of their control: that makes you toxic. If you can’t see that I don’t know what to tell you.
People are always going to feel bad when being rejected, I was really responding to the underlying criticism of women rejecting shorter partners and not the actual exaggeration used in the comic.
I feel that you’re missing the point.
And I’m the asshole for my “No fat chicks” T-shirt and “Federal Booby Inspector” hat?
Licking your butthole is also seen in nature…
So… now you’re kink shaming people?
Why do you have to sexualize everything? I just like my butthole nice and clean.
I’m not sure I follow
as long as you remember to like and subscribe that should be okay
Hard agree.
Yup. Just another double standard, because lord forbid a guy have physical standards about a woman and be honest about them. 🙄
