The World of Warcraft & Height Differences.

As I mentioned before, I'm not very tall. The last time I told you about it, I compared myself to one of the races in the game World of Warcraft known as the Dwarf. Once again, using WoW Model Viewer, I'll show you what I mean.
I have to admit that it bothered me at first. Especially when, as a kid growing up, others made fun of me.
But it's okay. I've gotten over it since then.

Mrs C is shorter than I am which makes us a perfect pair.
But if you want to be specific, I'm more Dwarf-like in build than she is. That is to say, I'm the stocky one. If I had to compare her to any character in the game, I'd say her body more closely resembled that of a Night Elf than a Dwarf.
I know, right? Lucky me. Only... She'd actually be a very tiny Night Elf.

I should probably mention now that Mrs. C isn't as accepting of her stature as I am. In fact, she gets really pissed off when I joke about it.
That being said, just do me a favor and don't mention anything I just told you to her. It's most likely going to make her very upset and thinks won't end well for me.


Not well at all.

  1. She may appreciate this more if you had put her in killer heels and made them spiked to do some damage when she kicked your ass in that last picture...
    and if you run around with your arms out in front of you like that all the time..I'd bet that it isn't your short stature that everyone is making fun of..

    1. You mean that's not how it's done? But that's how they run in all the cartoons.

      Lucky for my Dwarf, heels aren't available in the footwear options.

  2. Since I have never ever in my life before seen a screen or any of the characters of world of Warcraft this seemed a bit odd. But giving me visuals did help. In fact it made me immediately remember 2 of the most beautiful woman I have ever known. I guess I am average height, 5'5. In high school we had 3 girls that were pro models ( yeah I went to a seriously hard to stand out high school)it was small and everyone knew each other. Then my Jr year in transfered an absolutlely beautiful girl named Marla. Marla was less than 4ft, she was not only amazingly beautiful but seemed to glide and had a voice like nothing we had heard in real life. Marla became a magazine model within 3 weeks, gracing covers of everything. She could never do run way or show modeling, but there was no doubt any of us would have given a foot off our height to be as amazing as Marla. The next person was a dear friend of mine, I never noticed she was shorter, the noise level at wish she lived life was so HUGE you just assume she was. I noticed about 5 years into our relationship when a natural disaster hit our communities and she was barefoot, and lugging what appeared to be two 10 gallon jugs of water to an elderly neighbor. The only shoes she could find to fit were childrens size 3 and she didn't want to take shoes that a kid may need, and she was carrying two 2.5 gallon jugs of water. That was the day I realized my friend was actually 4.1 we had a discussion about how I never noticed and how it only bothered her because it was hard to find sexy shoes LOL. So there are a lot of average height milkbones out there, and there are a lot of wolfhounds over 6 ft.. But you don't really come across anyone under 4 and a half that isn't just stunning. So lucky you. Unless of course she see's this post and then you're going to get your stumpy little ass kicked.

    1. "Stunning" describes her perfectly. I don't often joke about the height issue (for obvious personal safety reasons) but I never let her forget how HOT she is.

  3. I'm 6'7" and my wife is 5'1"... and we have an endless supply of height jokes at the other's expense. Mine are obviously better though, especially since I have such a hard time hearing her's from way down there. *ba-dum pish!*

    1. In our case she usually wins. She's say something like it's not *that* unusual for some women to be short, then remind me of the fact that as far as guys go, I tend to stand out but not in the literal sense.

  4. Both my wife and I are on the tall side so we get to make fun of shorter people together. And making fun of other people is really what marriage is all about.

    1. So what you're saying is we should make fun of tall people?

      I like it!

  5. I am 5'4" "ISH". I only date men who are 6' or taller because I love 4" heels and if I have on my shoes and the guy isn't 6' tall them he is shorter than or equal to me, and that isn't good in my book because it freaks me out!

    Sorry.

    1. No probz. As it turns out, Mrs. C loves 4" heels too. Only, when she wears them, she's still a few inches shorter than I am.

      I know! Right?

  6. Haha. What a cute little night elf.

    1. Careful. If she finds this, she might read the comments too.

  7. Nice dude! You got yourself a nelf. Now quit playing WoW and get your butt over to Diablo 3 :-)

    In completely unrelated news, I changed over my blogroll to a separate page of my blog. In the process, some people were momentarily missing (you were one), but now you're back on there man. So sorry if there was any confusion! You rock dude.

    1. I am honored. As for Diablo, I asked. She said no.

      Sigh!

  8. I think I've said it before: you and your wife need a sitcom.

    1. I pitched that idea to her a few times. But for some reason she got all suspicious when I said we'd have to set up cameras in the bedroom too.
