It might be because I'm a girl, but I don't get what's good about being tall.

The question is from Everybody Votes Channel
"Which would you rather be?" choices obviously being "Taller" and "Thinner"

Also, mods, this isn't really a Wii-related topic so don't move it. It's just that I used a poll question on it as basis of the discussion.

Listen, when you're tall, you can reach the secret stash of money your parents hid.

I like being tall because I dont have to ask for help to reach something that often I hate asking for favors period.
I am sort of overweight too...I am not afraid to say that.

1. On average, Tall people get paid more (on the flip side, short people get paid less).
2. You can reach the cookie jar without arousing suspicion (aside from missing cookies, olol)
3. You can play basketball if you're tall, and just about any other sport.  Taller people have advantages in most sports.
4. Taller people look better on camera, are consequently hired more for photo shoots, etc.
5. Taller people are more intimidating, will be hired sooner than a short person with the same credentials (unless said employer is also short).


Just a scary thought, numbers 1 and 5 are facts.

just like

1. left handed people get paid less
2. women get paid less
3. undergrads get paid less

on average.


I'm 5'8.

I'm not really short, by the way. Just responding to the things. Actually, I'm a bit too tall IMO.
1: That's probably mostly for jobs pertaining to physical work. I'm a geek and that shouldn't affect me at all
4: I have no intent on being a model
5: I don't want to be intimidating :( (I'd rather give off a kind or gentle mood >_>)

1: I'm left handed. Well, moderately ambidextrous but mostly left :(
2: I'm a girl >_>

You can always lose weight, but you're stuck with your hight forever. ;)
Also, 99% of girls are obsessed with their weight, it's a fact.

80% of statistics are made up.

Anyways, I'm not. I wouldn't mind being a bit skinnier but I don't even care enough to consider doing anything.

I can't really answer that, because I can't even fathom what it's like not being freakishly huge.
I'm 6"6-6"7. My father's 6"5 and my grandfather on my mother's side was 6"3.
I can tell you one of the cons though...Being my height while visiting Japan. *Rubs head.*
