towering over people
Posted by tallaussieman on Apr 19th 2011

Do any of you taller guys have any great stories about towering over a average/shorter guy??? or maybe where you have been towered over by a giant guy!!!

Or do you shorter guys have any stories about feeling really small and tiny by a shorter guy???

I loved towering over people when I was the biggest in middle school. I would stand close to people so that they would have to tilt their necks back even farther.

Wow sixonedude, that must’ve been great! Have you ever felt small by someone taller? And ijustlovetallman, that is hard to get my head around, that someone 6’1 seems so massive from your point of view!

It was! And it was funny, because at the time I remember thinking how much it must suck to be the smaller guy. These days I feel tiny around people who are close to 7 feet, because my eye level is at the nape of their neck or below their shoulders. One time I saw this 7-foot-plus guy (maybe 7’3”) in a cafĂ© and when I walked close to him my eyes were at the middle of his chest, and I felt like I was in a cave surrounded by his shoulders.

I guess one of the advantages of my height is being able to feel both tall and small. Though I wish I could feel even taller more often! I wonder if tall people appreciate what it’s like for us little guys to look up at them. I know I had no idea what it was like when I was the biggest.

Similarly to 6’1 dude, I love both being towered over by gigantic men, as well as towering over some super-short people. For an “average” guy like me, both are quite rare “unfortunately” ;-)
What I’ve always wondered is, what it must be like for a 7-footer to tower over an average man on a daily basis, or when there is a 5-footer standing right next to them!? While I can have the same “privilege” over some super-short guys only rarely…
Got lots of stories to share from my daily life or trips, and some pics too if someone’s interested
The most recent one was seeing a young approx. 215cm tall French guy on my trip to Madrid… was amazing to see him in contrast with lots of short Spaniards around him. Also I felt so small after a long while again – hardly reached up to his shoulders!

I really enjoy towering over small guys!
If I see a small guy in a crowd or somewhere, I’ll walk up behind him and wait for him to turn around to find me towering above him. It’s so great to see their reactions.
Some guys have turned around and found themselves naval or chest level to me then they slowly crane their necks up to see me.
Once, I opened the door to leave a men’s room just as a tiny Asian guy (maybe 5-foot tall) was pushing the door open to come in. He stopped because I was physically blocking his path into the restroom, but he didn’t realize what the obstacle was that was blocking the way. He was only a foot or so in front of me and, with a puzzled look on his face, he looked to the left and the right on either side of my body as if he were trying to figure out how to get into the restroom. Finally, I said “Excuse me” and his eyes slowly traced their way up my frame to see my face. Startled, he jumped back a little and cleared the path for me to leave. We both laughed. :-)

I consider myself pretty lucky to have gone to a high school in Canada full of tall huge guys! I still think back on those days… When I started grade 10, I heard my classmates say there was this huge bully in grade 12 named Eddy and to stay out of his way. The first time I saw him was in the cafeteria and I was amazed by his size. He was 6 foot 8 and weighed more than 300 pounds. Now, most of this weight was muscle. He was a bodybuilder and his biceps were bigger than my head. His pecs were so huge and he loved wearing tight shirts that showed them off. He also wore these jeans that showed off his big bubble butt. I was around 5 feet tall back then and was standing behind him in line. My chin was just level with his waist and I loved feeling so tiny.

I noticed that when Eddie walked down the hall, all the kids ran right out of his way. One time, I saw him leaving the gym where he had finished his workout. He dropped his sweaty towel on the floor and then this other bodybuilder who was “only” 6 feet tall and weighed around 200 pounds said to Eddy, “Hey Eddy, you dropped your towel.” Eddy looked way down at him with a big smirk on his face and screamed, “Pick it up boy!” Of course, the guy obeyed Eddy and handed him his towel. Then, Eddy wiped the sweaty towel all over the guy’s face and said, “You need to wash your face boy.” The guy was really humiliated because his friends were there too, but he just said, “Yes Sir “ and walked away.

Another time, Eddy came up behind the other tallest guy in our school who was 6 foot 7 but pretty lanky, He grabbed him by the ankles and turned him upside down, so it looked like the poor guy was doing a handstand. Eddy just held him there for about a minute until the guy’s face turned red. He said, “Put me down Eddy.” Eddy said, “You forgot to say please little girl.” So the guy said please and Eddy just dropped him on the floor like a sack of potatoes and walked off with a big grin on his face.

Another time, I was walking down the hall, talking with one of my friends and suddenly I noticed I had almost walked straight into Eddy. I could see his 6 pack right through his shirt and his enormous pecs with the huge man nipples way up above me. He was so wide, there was no way to run. I was freaking out when Eddy put his huge hands on my shoulders. I didn’t even dare to make eye contact with him. I just heard his really low booming voice from way up above saying, watch where you are going, runt! Then, he moved me over to the side like I was as light as a feather and walked by. That was one of the scariest and most exciting moments of my life! If you guys are interested, I will tell you some other stories about super tall guys I have met. Have a great weekend!
