Does being tall have any advantages or disadvantages in your culture?
>>
bad if extremely short or tall
normal if rest

I can find my family at the grocery store because I can easily see right over all the Mexicans.

Wait until WW3 when shit hits the fan and the entire world is thrown into war and chaos, then having a short stature will become an advantage because

1) shorter people require less water and food so will survive longer with minimal provisions and difficult conditions

2) taller people make bigger targets and will be the first to get shot and killed by snipers

3) being smaller will let you hide better and be harder to detect when sneaking around

>fighting on the front lines
Sounds like the biggest disadvantage there is.

maybe in ancient times, but modern war/large scale war is won differently

there is a reason why stocky romans were able to overturn hordes of barbarians many times stronger than them

You do realise that due to Roman military trainning and better nutrition, the average legionaire was a lot stronger and possibly taller than you average barbarian.
>>
>>58309361
arnt they still alot less taller, even italians now are still a good amount shorter than other europeans

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germania_(book)

>In Chapter 4, he mentions that they all have common physical characteristics, blue eyes (truces et caerulei oculi = "sky-coloured, azure, dark blue, dark green), reddish hair ( rutilae comae = "red, golden-red, reddish yellow") and large bodies, vigorous at the first onset but not tolerant of exhausting labour, tolerant of hunger and cold but not of heat.[1]

The average Italian is only 3cm shorter than the average German.
And you cant compare the now-a-days developed Germany to Hut-dwelling germans of 50BC
>>
>>58309960
true, but it does show even with modern food there is still a height gap

although id wager benis size is more important
>>
>>58309990
Wait a sec ur not Poland
>>
>>58309990
Northern Europeans are taller because they are more developed.
It wasnt that way in 2000 years ago.
>>
>>58310252
Are you referring to the 6'0 height requirement for Roman legionaires?
>>
>>58309361
Hunter gatherers were generally taller than people from agricultural societies, IIRC

Maybe I should move to Portugal so I can do the manlet meme properly.

>>58310576

6' is just above average in portugal though.

Girls can see you if you're tall. And they don't see you if you're short.

That's pretty much it.

Tru, but is it enough to change things? like what

wait a second thats not the british empire
>>
>>58309361

The romans themselves admit that the barbarians were stronger physically.
and it makes sense.

Same reason why west africans are stronger than china men

>>58310421
You realise there exist written sources and you don't have to rely solely on your own (horrible) assumptions?

Which frustrated manlet made this shit lmao

Being tall is great because you can see lions from far away in the savannah. It's all about evolution.
>>
Yes I think very.
I'm 1,80m and simply to short to be seen as a full human.
