I am 6' 4"... so yes, I fall into the other end of the spectrum. Hell, I know it annoys the hell out of me every time I have to talk to someone taller than myself... and that is rare. I'm assumming you all are more used to that though.

It is good to hear that a majority of you don't have an "axe to grind" regarding this though!

*shrug* I'm 6'1" and I personally don't like being as tall as I am. Luckly, I've stayed this height for some time now so I guess this is where I'll be.

However, when it comes to women, I've always been attracted to the shorter girls. Its always been a turn off when I see a 7 foot tall women

He told him to get into the ring and prove himself without his stunt double. No reponse, he left shortly after. A ton of people laughed their butts off over that.
I had friends like you growing up. I had to do my own share of fighting being a scrawny indian kid growing up in Mississippi, but thank god for the big guys who had my back.

I'm 5'8" so I guess I'm a midget. I've dated girls up to 6'2. I think it depends on your personality how badly you get short man syndrome. I'd say mine is mild if any. If money and expensive cars, though, are your benchmarks, then I have it bad according to that.
Perhaps we should ask your Mom?

Congratulations - you kept a celebrity from kicking your butt.

Most celebrities learned a LONG time ago to walk away from idiots that try to get their goat.

If your brother wasn't such an idiot trying to be a badass, he'd have kept his own mouth shut. Sounds to me like your brother was the idiot and Van Damme did the right thing (walked away from a loudmouth, since he had nothing to prove anyways). A conflict of egos instead of brains, apparently...

Do you (and your bro) always suggest fighting as a means to prove who is the proverbial "best man"?

You put the word "most" in bold lettering but must've not read it.

I simply elected to show an exception!

There was no need - I was admitting to an exception.

I think Russell Crowe just got carried away on "Gladiator" and he still has a blood thirst.
