Did any average size guys ever meet any huge younger guys at school?
I don’t mean just a few inches taller but much bigger, so that you felf dwarfed by them?
When I was 17 this boy I knew was only just 15 and over 6’5” which was a full foot taller than me and he used to show off by lifting smaller guys like me up etc.
Anyone else have similar experiences?
I was in school with a 6’9” 15-year-old. He didn’t really like to show off though.
I met a six-foot eigth grader senior year that made me feel kinda short. And by the time I came back next year for homecoming he was 6’3” at least. I wonder how tall he is now.
And oh yeah, there was a 6’8” freshman football player at my school … he was an amazing sight, large feet too. Got to walk behind him once when he was in sandals! I don’t think he grew anymore after that though. And yeah, he didn’t show off either.
Oh … there was a 6’10” guy I met once my age who stood next to a short girl for the humorous effect.
But otherwise by and large I’ve only seen younger tall folks be shy about their height. It was true for me too, so I thought it was the same way for everyone.
at 5’4 everyone was taller than me there was 6’6 in my year a clear 1ft 3 inches taller than me. he was cool
Does college count? I swear I must go to the tallest college in the country. In my Philosophy class, there is one guy who is 7’1” and another who is 6’9”. We have two 7 footers that I know of and another who has to be close. There are so many people over 6’4” it’s ridiculous. My roommate last year is 6’5”. I’m 5’9”, but I’m constantly one of the shortest guys around. Every time I go to a cafeteria I’m sight-seeing :)
For a while I was one of the tallest kids in school. Up until Junior High. Then it seemed a good many people passed me up.
I’ve never really felt dwarfed though. The tallest person in my high school was 6’9”. I never had any romantic feelings for him though, since he was my cousin. lol
wow RHCP349 that sounds amazing!! The 7 foot guys must really dwarf you?
Would it be poor taste to follow RHCP’s post with a joke about how philosophy students have their heads up in the clouds?
Why can’t I be in that philosophy class?! They’re all shorties round here. Grr.
j88, lol
simonh, yeah they definitely do. I sat next to the 7’1” guy in class once (he usually comes in late, so he gets there after I do, otherwise I’d be closer to him everyday lol). He had to leave an empty seat on both sides of him because the seats are too small and he needed leg room. At the end of class when we stood up my eyes were below his chest. It might be a good thing I don’t sit around him everyday though, I couldn’t keep my eyes off of him lol. I love that class
RHCP you are a very lucky guy. I want to sit in on that philosophy class! And, it being philosophy, you could always engage him in a discussion on whether he is actually tall. Tall is a relative word. You could argue that he’s not tall, the rest of the world is too small. I’m sure he’d be interested in such a discussion.
haha, it would be relevant, kind of. Unfortunately, I get the feeling he’s just taking it because it’s supposed to be easy. It’s just an intro class. Plus I’m painfully shy :/
I just started going to college this week and there’s this 7 foot tall guy there. I’m pretty sure he’s my age because I saw him at accepted student day but I’m not 100% sure since he seems to talk to a few sophomores which are one grade higher than mine.
Ugg I REALLY wanna get to know him and become friends! He SEEMS to have similar interests because he’s in the same kinds of classes (art classes and game related classes) but really have no idea how to approach him. He’s a bit timid so I can’t just waltz up and start talking to him. Ugg what to do…

Avoid trying to start a friendship solely based on the fact that he is tall.
Ask him a question about the class, that is usually a good way to start a conversation with someone. From there you can mention how you have a few classes together and ask what he is planning to do, and let the dialogue flow from there.
Make sure to ask what his name is after you have spoken, knowing someone’s name is a great way to establish that sense of familiarity.
Initial introductions with anyone are always going to be a little awkward, but unless people already know each other, you are all in the same situation of wanting to break the ice.
Don’t try to just befriend the tall guy, try to know everyone that you share a lot of classes with, as they are the people you are likely spending the next few years around. And trust me, having a good group of people to surround yourself at college/university will help you immensely.
Best of luck.
...now I feel like crap. Guess I’ll ignore him.
Just don’t wanna miss the chance of adding a friend to the team.
Why do you feel like crap? My response wasn’t supposed to discourage you.
I just wanted to stress the fact that you shouldn’t have an ulterior motive for friendship being the sole reason you try to make friends with someone.
Just like you shouldn’t befriend a wealthy person just for their money. And how straight girls shouldn’t have a token gay friend just because they think they will get a non-sexual male for clothing advice.
We all have initial reasons for wanting to get closer to someone, but I’m just saying that it shouldn’t be a one dimensional friendship where you only care about them for a superficial reason and nothing else.
I don’t know you, but you don’t seem like this is your reason, so you don’t have anything to worry about. Go talk to him and make a new friend!
