5'11"..

That is very true. I'm 6'7" and it's extremely difficult to find clothing that fits me (especially pants). In the past four years, I've only managed to find eight pairs of pants that fit me comfortably, and they were each around $100. Keep in mind that these were intended to be for everyday use (i.e., they were going to end up with holes and such in them). And looking for the same 'size' pants doesn't help, since 'sizes' aren't universal across companies, or even consistent within the same company. I have two pairs of pants from Nautica that fit comfortably and allow me full range of motion, but their tags say they're different 'sizes'. But, when actually measured, their dimensions are the same. What's even worse is that I have to order pants online, since I can't find a single clothing store (or department store) withing 80 miles that sells pants that fit me.

And that's just pants. Then there's the whole 'bump-my-head-five-to-ten-times-every-single-day-because-I'm-just-so-damned-tall' issue. And when I go to a department store, every 10 minutes I have somebody ask me "Can you get that down for me?"
And I do get whatever it is down for them. My height might be a pain in the rear (well, more of a pain in the head) for me, but at least it can be useful to others.

On the plus side, nobody has kicked my a** since I...achieved altitude, but that's mainly because nobody who's wanted to can kick that high.

TL;DR version: You may not like being...vertically challenged, but being tall isn't necessarily all it's made out to be.

What days are they! I must try this for at least 1 of the 7 !!!

I'm average!

I'm 179cm but I still wish I was taller.

I am 5'7 ".

I am happy enough with that. Seems like I am pretty comparable to most people I meet.

Thanks for the input guys! I hope I grow taller though. I am still young, and a goal of at least 5'8" isn't too bad. At least I'm smart, athletic, and have money. That gets chicks, right?

5'11 and a half. So six foot.


Owning a load of awful news stations and newspapers gets you Asians.

Nice logic

Luckily I'm not looking for just Asians

I'm quite short and have lots of trouble picking up chicks. They always start fluttering and flapping and I end up panicking and dropping them.

But seriously I go to an all boys school so talking to females is not something I normally do.

I've got maths on my side. If a number ends in .5, you round up.


When you're 80 and called in about breaking trade standards, they come in handy.

I think you're doing it wrong then

6' - I consider myself average but have a difficult time driving sporty vehicles. I feel "too tall" on my Gixxer. My wife is 5' 3" and dancing can be challenging sometimes.

...but also gets you a nice custard pie in the face, if I'm correct in assuming that you mean Murdoch.

I was curious about my own height so I got out the tape measure. 5' 6".

That's when the Asian wife comes in handy! (remember not to change the will though...)

Smart and athletic? Sure! I may be stepping out of line here, but you don't want a girl that wants to be with you for what you have. Throw money and material things out of the equation and you'll find yourself a good girl. It all comes down to confidence and personality, regardless of your height.

Oh god this, 1000x this.

what's JAL?

something AirLines?

Jamaica Air Lines.

Andy used to be a prominent Rasta musician... Sometimes, he can still hear the steel drums ringing in his head and the gentle waves of the Atlantic Ocean. Those were the days...

If you play U-Roy around him he sprouts dreadlocks.
