And yet, none of these facts matter anymore, at all.
Barr is about to destroy America and I dont think we are prepared.

(47,648 posts)its describing him and it is also describing a man who mocks people mercilessly for their appearance. He definitely IS a disgusting pig in every respect.

(63,221 posts)He is definitely a disgusting specimen of humanity without a doubt. And look at the way he lurches forward. I know it's the lifts, but it's so aggressive and intimidating. He is just a vile excuse of a human being.

"Malarkey man"!!! Love it!!!

(113,602 posts)6'3' which makes him 9" taller, also heavier, and male. My hands are over an inch longer.
And, I just noticed something. Standard proportions say one's hands, hanging at one's sides, the tips of the fingers should be mid-thigh. He does not come close, at least in this image.
PatSeg
(47,648 posts)I never noticed that before, his proportions seem all out of whack. I just checked and my fingertips hit mid-thigh. I'm a very small woman.

I don't want to look closely enough at his face to see if other proportions are off, as well.

(65,490 posts)I used to claim an extra 3 inches, and people accepted the claim without questioning it. Once, after I had been away from home for a few years, I returned for a visit. My sister, who is actually an inch and a half taller than I am, reacted with shock when she saw our side by side reflection in the mirror.
She said I must be really shrinking in my old age, because I was shorter than she was now. I admitted then that I had lied about my height all those years. I've never lied about my age, but in our society being perceived as taller gives you an advantage in some situations, or at least counters some of the disadvantages of being too short.

(51,308 posts)I'm a female, so maybe that's why.
My mom hated being short, and she swore she'd come back tall in another life lol. My dad was 6'4 and enjoyed needling her on occasion about it.
But she never lied about her height. Neither have I.

(51,308 posts)I'm 5'3" and have heard comments about it all my life.
Never bothered me because I like my size, but I can't imagine how I could have pretended to be taller.
tblue37
(65,490 posts)Actually, I am a marshmallow, but in some situations I have needed for people not to know that.
cwydro
(51,308 posts)Pretty sure my friends would have laughed themselves silly if I'd said I was taller.
I never minded it, I found it handy in concert crowd situations...I can wiggle through a crowd like a little terrier. Those days are long gone, but the only thing that bugs me is not being able to put things up on the top of the fridge lol. High cabinets used to irritate me till I started keeping a step stool around.
My mom was shorter than I, but oh my word, she ruled the roost. Including my very tall father.

(65,238 posts)From 18 until I was over 50, I was exactly 5'9".
When I was measured around 61 years old, I was 5'8.5".
So I shrunk about a half inch in under 10 years.
I blame Isaac Newton.

(41,994 posts)The angle puts him quite a bit closer to the camera. But hes a bulky dude in lifts, near as I can tell. That angle forward and the arm hang is really telling.
