You're insecure about being 1.82cm tall? Seriously? That's pretty tall dude, no woman ever will complain about that unless she wants a giant or is a giantess herself.

Here in Scandinavia it's not that uncommon for women to be "tall". My mom, is 1,80, but she is 63 now, so more like 1,75 now I think!
I dated a girl who was 6'4 and I'll tell you, it was not fun for her. It was also weird for me (I'm 6'5). I couldn't help but wonder how big a part of my height played into her wanting to date me.
What is worse is that tall girls don't feel feminine, they hate being picked up because they are afraid that they are heavy. The girl I dated developed a sort of eating disorder. She was incredible skinny which made her look even taller. And she liked wearing heels which made her feel feminine.
On the first date with me, I remember she said that she hoped we never got kids because they would be freakishly tall. That was really sad, and it gave a clue into just how much her height bothering her.




Some of the most confident men I have ever met have been very short. I think those guys have a knack for overcoming the physical limitations by charm. Everybody loves them. They are simply pleasant to be around, and at the end of the day that is more important than physical appearance.
 
I'm 6'3."

It's the perfect balance of being taller than most other people while still being able to find clothing that fits at a normal store.

I think I'm like 5'8'' but my wife is about 5'1'' and she's the only person's opinion I care about on this matter and she is happy with my height so I'm cool with it. I think I'd be taller if I slept more in HS/adolescence, though.

Height is affected by sleep? Oh dear I was getting about 2 hours sleep a night from the age of 12 to 16, I stopped growing at 5ft8 when I was about 14/15
 
1,68 cm (5,6). I never had problem with height, even though I know I am short. In Brasil is not too bad though ( averange is 5,8)

Funny enough I like and date taller girls
 
6'3". And 265lbs while I'm at it.

I've been told I'm 'imposing' and 'intimidating' based on height and weight but once folks get to know me that changes.

I'm very happy with my height.
 
I'm 6'1, stopped growing at 13 due to an illness that caused a dramatic weight loss. Went from being a big, burly dude to rail thin.

I'm fine with my height but I'm the runt of my family. My brother is 6'5 and my dad is about the same.
 
I'm a hair over 6', and I'm happy with that. I'm neither tall nor short. I wouldn't mind being a bit taller though. My brother is about 6' 3" and I am sometimes envious of him for it. He's a genetic marvel though - ripped without working out, and when he does workout, he literally builds mass in a month. Like, noticable mass.

6'5" and no, not at all.

I love cars and I cannot fit in most cars I would love to own or even take for a drive. Damn my long legs.

Other annoyances, bumping my head against random stuff, hard to find clothes that fit, shoes are impossible to find without ordering online, and my height seems to grab people's attention...or intimidate them it seems. I am a big guy though...
 
I'm about 171-172 (I just remember it's a bit over 170) which is 5'7,7"?

I've got more serious things to worry about than height, and I guess I'll be gaining a couple cm when I go through surgery to extend my shorter leg.
 
1m76, I wish I was 10 cm taller but hey, that's neat picking really, I could care less. I really like tall girls for reasons I ignore...
 
I'm 180cm. Pretty much perfect. Tall enough to see over most crowds, but not so tall that doorframes are a problem. My body has other things to be annoyed about, but my height isn't one of them.
 
189 cm / 6'2" here.

I'm happy with it but would not mind being a little shorter and not only because it would make my dick look bigger ;-)

As someone from a very tall country its strange to read 180 is enough to look over crowds.
 
6'1 and totally happy with my height. I used to be very insecure in high school because I grew like 5 inches and I was painfully skinny and could not gain weight. I'm cool with it now.
 
5'10"

I used to be really self conscious about it, but when your hair starts thinning you begin to not care about the physical things. I'm tall enough now, but I would gladly take an extra three inches or so for when I age and shrink. Being over 6'6" or below 5'6" must suck.

It's not. I'm from Canada and even by the standard of tall countries I am above average. People exagerate how tall you actually have to be to see over a crowd of people without issue. It sure as hell is not 5'10" if you live in North America.
 
5"5, male,
Shortest in class till university.
Actually took growth hormones for awhile in highschool to no affect.
Now consent and give no eff.

But what fudge tall people here complaining about wanting to be taller.

I wanna play small forward, not shooting guard in the NBA damn it!!!
 
I'm 6'2 and can't imagine being any shorter. My sisters are tiny like 5'4 and my little brother is 6'4. Weird how gender change does that.
 
I'm 5'8 and have never had any problems with it. Seems to be a common height in my family since my mom, both grandfathers, one aunt, and two uncles are the same height and my sister is an inch shorter
 
6ft3, ~192cm and pretty happy about it, I think its the sweet spot of not being too tall but still being taller than a lot other people.
