I'm average by European standards (perhaps even short), but I'm tall or a little above average here in the US.

Honestly, I stopped caring about my own height a long time ago. I used to care because no kidding; it felt like I grew a whole foot in the span of a couple of months. Although sometimes I wish I could be smaller (I prefer taller guys, its kinda hard to find anyone over 5'10" where I live), but I don't care anymore.

I don't envy shorter or taller people, although I probably wouldn't date a 5'2" guy... Or a 6'5" guy either. 5'8"-6-1" does it for me .

As a giant, I wish people didn't care nearly as much about height. Past a certain point it's much more curse than gift.



I've been both short and tall in a relatively short amount of time, so I can appreciate both heights strengths.All men in my family are 6'+ but I was short because I drank and smoked at an extremely young age(11 years old) and also because I only ate around once a day twice at most, in retrospect this lifestyle was very detrimental to my height, since this was the time I hit puberty.

When I was 17( I was 5' 7'' at this time I thought I was done growing since I had been like this since my 15th birthday)I remember disassembling some cabinets with my dad, and he was having a hard time since the cabinets were really small and he is a big dude, I on the other hand had no trouble since I could fit inside and unscrew the whole thing.Also, I remember him helping me with my first PC build since I didn't know much about PCs back then, but he just couldn't work around the case cause his hands are massive, but again my hands are fucking feminine so it was easy for me.

At 17 I went to the pediatrician and he told me that I hadn't reached my full growth so he put me on this diet and workout, also had to take HGH but I just couldn't afford that shit, that treatment kind of worked I guess, was 5' 9'' when I was 19 at this time I was able to buy the HGH, and that did the trick cuz I went from 5' 9'' to 6' 2'' in like a year and a half.

Being tall is nice I guess, you reach higher places, look cooler and people expect more from taller guys, but all of that can easily be overcome even if you're not tall.

Anyways I think being shorter would be better when I'm flipping houses cause I could fit in spaces where it's difficult to work, and if I couldn't reach something I would just get a step or a ladder, but when I'm trying to make a business deal being taller is better because when people don't know someone personally they respect, and expect more from the taller guy.Like I said though both shortcomings(no pun intended) can easily be overcome so people shouldn't worry much about it.



I was 175cm with 17, not sure now, but that's slighty above the average in my country. So 80% of people I see are shorter than me, especially girls (obviously). Never really cared about it or felt it was some special thing.

I would be short or average in some parts of europe though...



I'm into MMA so I know height means nothing if you don't know how to use it.



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

I don't know if I count in this thread, I'm 1.78m, which is pretty short here, everyone's taller than me, but when I was in Asia I did see the world in a whole new light.

I guess it depends where. I'm 1.82m and didn't feel taller or shorter when I went to HK the past 2 years.



SMASH! LITTLE ONES! SMASH!



Tall people do not concern themselves with the opinions of head rests.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I am 6ft tall. I think that is the ideal height for me. I don't like being around people much taller than me though.
