Very long torso people

The Phi ratio is the most visually pleasing
1:1.618...) measuring from feet to waist and waist to top of the head.

On a side note, it seems that the sagging baggy pants and long T-shirt mode of the "homie" simulates this body type.

That's interesting. I wonder what the average ratio is.

I think the Huns (horse-riding people from Central Asia) had bodies like that. It would be an exaggeration of evolution or plain mutation, but there ya go.

you are a mongoloid, enjoy!

when i sit down at a table, i look 6 plus footers straight eye level. When i stand up, I have to look up a bit. I was almost impossible to tackle with huge legs and yes my lungs are massive and I have an incredible shout.

tall thin people are easy to bring down.

yes the Huns were tall on horseback and short of foot. They made all the euros kiss their ass. They are the reason the anglo saxons migrated to Britain. They were running scared.

I never knew that about the huns. Yes, XXX there are many advantages, some of which your name hints at. Running and cycling are not among them, although at 6'2" I do alright.

freak

By the way, what ethnicity are you? I'm an anglo-egyptian mix.

My ex was that way, too. 6'7 with a 35" in seam. Long torso-ed man or shall I say long back man. BTW, do you suffer from back pains, too?

Most of your bodytype are plumbers today, judging from the the backside view. Do many women ask if you can lay pipe?

Not at all.

He did. All the time. Very painful for him. Lucky you, LTP.

Many Asians have long torsos.

You are describing the Neandertal physique.

That's not all.

one of your ancestors fucked an orangutan ...

youn got the end of the line genes...

monkeys eyaculate real fast ...

so you may last 7 seconds at sex...

then your MOnKEY goes limp!

no one makes a monkey out o me

The Australian aboriginals also share this trait. It allows them to survive changes in temperature better than more, from hot summer days to almost freezing summer nights.

I to share this trait.

5 10 here, had xrays, doc said i had torso of someone 6 9. back probs all my life.

used to be very fast runnung

An old chinese man at the chinese restaurant I worked at always said behind me back that " long backs are lazy"
wtf... held my own.

No, Neanderthals were relatively short but they had massive bone structures. Their bones were twice as thick as ours. They could crush NFL linemen.

I feel your pain. I am 6' and have an inseam of 29". I have always exceed at swimming and hiking as well. But my main sport while growing up was boxing. When i showed up to a match my opponents trainer would swear up and down I was a heavyweight instead of the middle wieght i actually was. Like the guy said about the mongols and their relationship to hot and cold, i can also relate. I ran almost everyday as a teenager and had zero pain. Now I'm older and been injured several times. I am on pain management. With the nature of my injuries and the points of pain there is no doubt that my frame is a major contributor of my condition. I too am very interested in finding out more about the origins of this. Good luck, bro.

You are not long. You are just not short for your weight.
