[Maedre]

I'am 1,85m which should be like 6'1 feet in funny measurement units.
It's great.

 

[Khezu]

5.4.

I like to make short jokes and pretend to be angry about everyone being taller then me.
In reality though I'm pretty fine with, I don't feel its ever really negatively effected me.

The only thing I have ever been insecure about is people constantly mistaking me for a woman over the phone.

 

[Always-honest]

Yep (or more.. not happy but it's never any problem. It's fine). I'm 6 ft (i think.. jesus 'murica, get metric) and that's pretty avarage in the Netherlands.
Sometimes i feel small there because a lot of Dutch men are well above that height (i believe we are the tallest people in the world or something like that) but in general 6 ft is a good height i think. Especially worldwide.

At my age i see a lot of taller people allready getting issues (back, knees, etc). I'm still agile as fuck.

 

[Helmholtz]

I'm 6'1" and I rarely think about my height. So I guess I'm happy with it.

 

[Alchemy]

Wish I was shorter, 6'2 is a pain in the butt. Impossible to find shoes anywhere, womens shoes just kinda vanish in most places around size 10 when I'm a 13 ._.

 

[zsswimmer]

I'm 6'4 and it's pretty sweet. Tall but not approaching freakishly tall proportions, 210lb as well so I have a good build. Every male in my family is over 6 ft. Being tall helped a lot in swimming as well, my brother and I both have those v frames and I wear a size 15 shoe so I was built for it lol

 

[Stereogatari]

6ft + masterrace reporting in.

 

[Monochromaticx]

6.2 is pretty great for the most part.

 

[NEO0MJ]

Their dicks are bigger than their height?

Inches and feet

 

[Arenesus]

All you goddamned giants in here.

1.69m (5ft7in) at 140lbs reporting in and I'd kill for another inch. Finding good fitting clothes is such a pain in the ass.

 

[nns3d]

5'10'' with the wingspan of someone who's 6'2'' :/

def wish I was taller but both of my parents are pretty short so I'm lucky in that regard.

 

[Lightning Count]

6"3 is fine for me.

 

[Soodanim]

I feel I'm at the upper limit of being functionally tall. I already lean over to do the washing up and miss out on what's being said in clubs because that extra distance makes all the difference, but I can still fit through doors. I wouldn't want to be taller, and I'd only be okay with being an inch or two shorter. The world isn't made for tall people though. Or short, for that matter.

It's strange when I see someone who's the same amount taller than I am as I am to other people. It makes me realise what it's like.

Clothes can be just a bit too short, which is annoying. It's usually the sleeves.

 

[Phased]

6'5 (dad is a bit taller still) and I don't really think about it that much.

As has been mentioned though, leg room in airplanes, theater's, trains or anything else is nothing but a myth to me. No complaints otherwise.

 

[RoadHazard]

I'm 183 cm (almost exactly 6'), and yeah, feels about right!

6"3 is fine for me.

You're tiny!

(" = inches)

 

[Salbug]

I'm 5'3" and I've never really questioned it to be honest. I'm fine with it really.

 

[Blues1990]

Six Four..no complaints..


Sorry, kids.

Man, that is killer.

6ft, 1in.

 

[Stairouais]

6ft4.

Bumping my head everywhere. Legroom is a myth.
Great for concert.

 

[Lightning Count]

6ft + masterrace reporting in.

Will people please stop using this ridiculous term.

 

[Hypron]

I'm 184cm/6'. I really don't have to complain. I'm taller than most people but not to the point of it being an inconvenience (99% of the time, my desk at uni is a piece of shit and I'd need to be 10cm shorter to be able to use it comfortably...).

 

[Stilton Disco]

2m/6'6" and in proportion, with a stocky, rugby player like build.

I'm enormous and its glorious. Being bigger and stronger the the vast, vast majority of people has zero drawbacks.

Also never had any kind of back pain. I exercise regularly and know how to lift things properly, which combined with I presume good genes has left me strong as an ox basically.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

6 ft. It was average height in my classes growing up. I am the tallest in my family though, and I also like shorter guys.

 

[Shuggananas]

I don't give a shit about my height
Am 1.75m

 

[C4Lukins]

5'11 which is great, but I feel like a dwarf next to 6'2 people and up. They make me feel tiny.

 

[L00P]

no but I'm okay with it

 

[GYNGA]

I'm 180 and I think it's perfect. Neithet too tall nor too short

 

[UberLevi]

I'm 5'7 and wouldn't mind an extra inch or two.

 

[Jigorath]

5'11

Yeah I'm good.

 

[TestMonkey]

6'5". In the past, strangers have used me for shade.

 

[Labrys]

6'2
I wish I was a few inches taller

 

[Ban Puncher]

 

[Trike]

No, I'm somewhere between 6'4" and 6'5" and it kind of sucks. Low hanging lamps, some doorways, and high cabinets that are left open are constant threats.

 

[swearing-circle]

5'11 pretty content.

 

[Dougald]

Seems like everyone wishes they were taller, no matter how high they are

FWIW I'm 5'7" and only wish I was taller so I could buy a KTM motorcycle. No sense worrying about it otherwise, it's not something you can work at changing like losing/gaining weight or the like. My wife is actually taller than me, she doesn't care and neither do I.

 

[Bane]

7' even here and while it has it's disadvantages I love it.

 

[Surface of Me]

7' even here and while it has it's disadvantages I love it.

Seven fucking feet?

 

[SPCTRE]

6''4 (193 cm), can't complain

(just barely enough to get a NeoGAF account)

 

[Basketball]

feelsgoodman
6,3

 

[uncelestial]

5'8". I'm exactly the same height as my tall girlfriend and we're getting engaged soon. Soon we shall use her supergenes and make taller-than-me babies. My lineage will live on as a race of super people with my (oh so amazing) brains and my girlfriend's height/looks.

Spoiler

Can't see shit at concerts, need a stepladder to reach the top shelf of my kitchen, nobody ever notices me a bloo bloo ;____;

Honestly thank god I found someone because dating is tedious.

So yeah, my height is like... Dealable. It's a manageable condition, like having vertigo or something. Most days it doesn't matter.

 

[Palculator]

186cm. 's alright. Taller than the Greatest Soldier in the World.

Spoiler

I laugh at all you freaks using the imperial system.

 

[uncelestial]

That's a mean thing to say about 85.5% of the population.

This is pretty mean too, tho:

 

[Captcha]

No, I'm somewhere between 6'4" and 6'5" and it kind of sucks. Low hanging lamps, some doorways, and high cabinets that are left open are constant threats.

Pockets getting caught on door handles is also surprisingly infuriating.

 

[Ban Puncher]

I wish I was a little bit taller.

 

[Trike]

Pockets getting caught on door handles is also surprisingly infuriating.

Right?! I ruined a pair of gym shorts by doing that. Thank god that happens to other people, I thought I was just stupid.

 

[Lucian Cat]

5'6. I'm ok with it. Female here.

 

[random25]

I'm about 5'7'' and I'm pretty much fine with it.

 

[Dougald]

The doorways in my house are quite low, I've saved a fortune in renovation costs by being under 6 feet.

 

[Always-honest]

Well, weight is something you can change.
And when you casually act like short men are worthless you can expect some backlash.
Men have feelings too, haha.

 

[usp84]

I am 6'5" but i wouldn't mind being a little bit shorter

It's never affected you negatively in the dating world? I always thought most women disliked short guys.
