Re: 5'5 Franco Colombu next to body building pal Arnold Schwarzenegger

I know of him and friends into bodybuilding reference him often. What I did not know is that he made Mr. Olympia twice! Funny how his heyday was 40 years ago and people my age who weren't old enough to be into his work and even those younger still look up to him today.

if you want to know what they really think, look at the men they have dated in the past.

This 100%, or who they're dating now. How old they are matters very much in this aspect also.

I can agree with this. The evidence and studies are all very clear in 2024.

Re: Tomorrow you wake up at 6'5. What changes in your life?

I like my height. I don't have any issues with it. I like how easy it is to find clothes and smalls fit me perfectly in every mass merchandise establishment.

What I don't like is the stigma that sometimes comes with being my height, and I know it's worse for those shorter. I would also not like to be 6'5. If I had to be taller, then I'd choose 5'8 as that is when the short stigma disappears.

To answer the question though, if I magically became 6'5, everyone would believe that I am competent or an expert at something. When you're short, people always challenge you or think you're less competent when they first meet you.
