curious about height

[Rob]

5' 10 1/2" - used to be average height in UK, but now I think I'm below average!!

[TheSlyBear]

5'8"

Life is too short (no pun intended) to obsess about your height.

I'm shorter than you bro last time they checked I was 5'7 & 1/4"

[texanron]

I'm 5' 9" and happy with it.

Remember this bro, "It's not the size of the dog in the fight. Its the size of the fight in the dog!" I've been waiting for a chance to use that quote!!

I'm 5' 8".  I'm an only child.  But of all my male relatives, I am the shortest.  I was even shorter than my dad.  I had a grandfather in Phoenix that died when I was a small child.  I have heard that I got the short genes from him!

I'm 6'2", and it can be a pain.  The world is definitely meant for shorter people.
I'm not even that tall and most cars are uncomfortable. Everything seems to be done around my knees, I have to bend over for a lot, and it gets to your lower back after a while.
You're fine.

178 cm. According to Wikipedia equal to the current average height of male adults in Germany.

6'1" here

[Jemig]

1,90 m. I think that translate to 6 ft 2,7 inch.

Certainly taller then average which comes with a few advantages.
Eg. I do like to go to (rock) concerts and I almost always have a good view, being able to look over the audiences heads

5'7" here

I'm still the shortest and I'm proud of it! I love being short because I can fit in places no other tall-ies can fit into. Also, I can't reach the top shelf at the supermarket, so I get to ask a handsome tall guy to get the item I need. It is always a good conversation starter. Straight guys, do you prefer your women tall? Since I'm 5'5, I don't have any choice but to date taller people.

. Straight guys, do you prefer your women tall? Si

I don't know about other "straight" guys, but my fantasy woman has long nicely tanned, legs, and they lift me and guide me to--well enough for now.

[xKevoBx]

That's a cute fantasy! I'd like a strong masculine guy to carry me to you know where...

[ChallengeMe]

6' 2" here. It's a good height, I can see over people in a crowd, and my family can find me easier. My height is more in my trunk than in my legs, so I have no problem with my knees in cars, but some small cars I will hit the roof. My height also shows off my bald head better!

I also don't know where I get my height from. No one in my family is near that tall; and I have over 100 first cousins. (note: my mother and father both came from families with 12 children. 6 boys and 6 girls in each family-what are the odds?) My son is also 6' 2", but his legs are 3" longer than mine.

I used to be tall for my age when I was a kid.  I was always the tallest in my class.  I remember being 14, I was 5' 9" and 175 pounds and an athlete.  I thought I was destined for the NFL.  But life has many twists and turns, and that was the height that I stayed at.  I know what is it like to be the tallest in a crowd of peers and now one of the shorter people in a crowd.  I miss being one of the tallest but haven't thought about those days for a very long time.
