You know what scares me? I'm 5'10", and am taller than anyone in my immediate family by a good 3 inches. And most of you seem to be 6'+.
I guess I'd be called "stocky", as I weigh 235lbs, but have a 32" waist, 19" neck, 15" biceps, and 23" thighs, and almost no gut...need to work on the abs tho...=)
My g/f is 5'2" and 120lbs...I make her look like a little kid...
6'2", 225lbs. and built like a brick *********. Am I stuck or what? I only notice a problem getting into small cars. I don't have trouble finding clothes that fit except blazers/sport-coats never seem to be broad enough in the shoulders. I LOVE GOING TO CHINEESE OR MEXICAN RESTAURANTS. Makes me feel like a friggin giant(i get up and walk around sometimes for no apparent reason just so I can look down at them for fun). The goatee and scorn on my face usually deter any stupid tall poeple questions however, most of the women I've dated pride themselves on telling me that I'm really just a teddy bear like they've discovered some kind of secret. Hey, I really am a nice guy.

5.9-foot-tall (178cm), no particular problems! :p
I am 6'1" & 1/2 inch & weigh about 150 +/- :D
I am about the middle in height in my family though. My uncle is 6'5", My grandfather is 6'3", and my cousin is 6'4". :D
OK, it looks like geeks are above average in height. That or those of us that are short are short won't admit it. I'm only 5'6" when I stand tall so I've always been looking up at everyone since high school. Most women I date are taller than me, especially after they put on heels. But I do love slow dancing with them. Resting my head between their aahhhh.... shoulders.
O.K. So I am a short dude abd it does have its advantages when I am with a tall woman.
"when I am nose to nose my toes are in it and when I am toes to toes........Oh well you can figure it out ;)
Hey thanks for the edit Alien. We're not allowed to mention someone's name now huh? In fact, I don't believe I actually even used his correct name. Maybe the moderators just get to ask each other to edit whatever they feel like huh?Quote:

No I expected a public one, I believe anytime a moderator edit someone's post it should be everyone's business. If it's not everone's business then why are you guys responding for him?Quote:

Never mind....I thought you were being sarcastic by responding to Alien while quoting Jimmr. That's how it reads to me. Sorry if I misinterpreted.Quote:

No I wasn't being sarcastic. I'm not about that. I try to keep my words ligitimate. Thanks anyway.
5 foot 9. Taller than some, shorter than some :) I don't worry about my height. What god wants, god gets (unless he doesn't get it, but who's gonna say no to someone who can turn a city to salt?) :)
I'm 6' 7" good for getting served at the bar quickly but bad for anything involving shopping for clothes, also comes in handy playing Rugby!! :D
(b)
I'm a 6' 8" walking sky scraper...yes, I have problems with doorways sometimes, and yes, ceiling fans are a BIG issue in older homes.
its even worse when I go out to play a lil paintball...you'd be suprised how little space a 6'8" guy like me can take up...next to none when needed! :D Our teams own personal lookout tower!
6 foot 2 inches of prime Wisconsinite!
Ken
At 5'2", I still look up to my paremts who are both 5'6". Even though I'm 28.
Being a girl at this height makes it easy to find a taller guy. (My husband is 5'8".)
I am 5'11" and vegetables may have had something to do with it since my dad is 5'6" and my mother is 5'5".

Yeah.....Big Shoes!
6' 1" and wary of low hanging lights!
5'9'...not tall not short...just average.....story of my life! ;)
I'm 6'1" and there is nothing that I don't like except having to duck a lot and having to crouch to hug my 5'4" girlfriend. :eek:
5'9 1/2" If thats average then most of the people here are above average. Yes the 1/2" is important, it makes me just above average :D :) :D
6'0" even. Oddly enough, I don't have any anecdotes about being tall.
But has anyone noticed the generation being born over these last couple of years are practically Nephilim? One of the wife's nephews is not quite 5' yet, but he's not quite 7 yet either.
6'2" Don't have many problems finding clothes.... but shoes now.... Have you ever tried finding a size 14 anywhere? Don't bother. Definately the tallest in my family with my dad at 5'6" and mom at 5'8"....
I'm 6'7" (2m exactly)...
5'7" here and 115 lbs to boot, yeah tiny no crap but hey lol at least I can root around in parts of the computer in seconds as compared to someone else who has to take the machine apart just to be able to reach in and adjust a pin or screw.
Just a question... How in the hell did my handle change from VPiracy to Crossbones? You'd think the name has nothing to do with anything vulgar so I was just curious. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know it irks me to see that I have been reassigned a name without notice hell if anything I coulda had a name like Jolly Roger or something as a replacement not just lowly crossbones. Well like I said if anyone has any suggestions just E-mail me at [email protected] or [email protected]
Go into "my profile" and change your displayed name to the same as your login name, or choose whatever you want to be displayed. It happened when the board was upgraded.Quote:

6' 1". Never had any problems with finding clothes or shoes. Getting into small cars is a challenge sometimes. I had a really tough time in the UK with Minis though when I was in the AF.
Well I guess thats the long and short of this old topic :p
6'6' here and proud of it. I do dislike the ?'s, but in genral the good out ways the bad.
I haven't read all the posts, but has anyone has done a study as to wether or not the avrage higth of Human Kind has increased or decreased over time??????
In medieval times, people were substantially shorter than they are today. This is commonly believed to be because of our better diet and modern health care.
If you go to Europe, you see old buildings with doorways that seem WAY too small for your average person...
I'm 6'0". I don't really consider that tall for a male. Most of my guy friends are right around my height. When I walk through campus I find most guys right around my height. I think once you start hitting 6'3" you are getting tall. :eek:
Gravity stinks!!! Only 5'8"
I am 5'9" and am used to being slightly shorter than average which ,I think for guys, is 5'10". But if you really think about it, I'm only 4% shorter than someone who is 6' tall. However, I weigh 150lbs.
Im 5'8 and im happy with it (no comments) :p :D :mad:
I am 5 foot 9 inches. I have been told by my doctor that I am of normal height for my age and sex(male), but I often feel shorter than my counterparts.
I am 6 foot 2 inches...sometimes its good and sometimes its bad.
You all complain that you got it rough. Try this:
5'5", male, 18 yr old, 160lbs solid.
you try getting on a lacrosse field with guys that are 6'-7', or try reaching for the cerial on top of the fridge.hell, my 11 year old brother is taller then me.
advantage yes, when the 7' tall kid is looking up at you and thinks "holy s***, did dwarf boy just knock me over?"
disadvantage, like the typical male, i want a girl shorter then me....you try finding a perfect girl under 5-5
