You’re nothing but a legend in your own mind, but keep on dreaming big😂. Your arms and legs are just too short and not enough power to be dangerous to anyone except other women, and a few wimpy men outside of a cage or ring with no rules. It’s actually easy to categorize with only two real genders. You knew exactly what I was talking about with trans men along with everyone ...[text shortened]... r sure out of it. Please don’t hurt me little sue it’s just facts since you know forever and a day.

Size doesn't matter it a fight, it is the experience you have that really counts.

Unless of course you happen to be obese then you could have a heart attack while fighting.

Don’t kid yourself it absolutely does overall. A 5’ 3” man fighting someone over 6 ft is a definite disadvantage to overcome. For instance my arm span is 71 1/2 inches and my longer legs would help keep his upper body in check also. Of course not every time, but overall yes.

I think you may be fooling yourself, IF that 5'3" person male or female has experience in fighting, you may not have the advantage you think at 6Ft. What they would do is get in close to you and it is harder swinging down than up.

Yes the advantage is still there, it would have just been overcome. It would happen far less for someone 5Ft 3 than it happened for the larger fighter.

I do not know how experienced a fighter you might be, but be aware of those shorter fighters, they are much better than you think. Worst thing in a fight is to underestimate your opponent.

It's hard to imagine what it must be like to have you in day-to-day life. Say a parent or sibling, neighbor or coworker.

I am pretty sure I would really not like that at all.

That might be ok. Eight billion people - not everyone gets along. Thought it might be worth mentioning though.

What exactly are you talking about? I think you have the wrong idea about a chat forum. We are not here to make friends. We are here to disucss controvertial stuff and because people are different they wont agree. Is that your problem ?

Did this thread cause you some discomfort? Are you overweight? What other topics you disagree with me on? Terrorism? BLM, WOKE, DEI .. What exactly? Or is it a personal matter like the fact that you a >1600 player played me 3 games you lost all 3 ..Im just a humble 1300 avg player. Is that it? If you like I will call that plain luck. You feel better now?

At least you are more decent than some of your other friends around here that cannt seem to speak without obscenities and vulgarities.

I’m not saying put a 5 3 pro in with random 6 ft guys, one legged ones or old men, I’m saying overall and it is an advantage.

Well we can agree to disagree, I don't think the height has an advantage if you have two good healthy experienced fighters.

Have you never watched boxing or mma, or even the backyard or park fights on you tube where people gather and box one another for fun?

Mike Tyson is only 5 10 and he beat Eddie Richardson who was 6 8

Overall however it is my understanding that height does tend to be an advantage in a fight.

He’s a freak of nature, love him, and that’s not 5Ft 3.

There you go but I don't really think you can consider the two of equal fighting ability and Eddie never bit anyone's ear off. 😉

It's not strength, it's leverage.

You’re five inches away from being a midget, that’s not much. Is 5 3 with your shoes on?
