Height : Othor Games

This says absolutely nothing to me.. :biggrin:

(goes for wikipedia for answer)

So, according to wikipedia you'd be.. 6x12+4 inches long. (x2,54 and we get cm).. 193 cm.

Wow, you know me so well!

I even put cm now.

5"11 and growing... you don't want to get too tall. I find it impossible to talk to small people in noisy environments.

Bend over to talk to them, like a little kid. It may seem condescending but when you over a foot taller than them tey might appreciate you taking the time to talk at their level.

6'2" and proud. >:c :evil:

Ironically, I'm one of the fastest people I know. Imagine if I were your height! I'd be lightning. :biggrin:

Nah, more wind resistance.

Nah, more wind resistance.

I don't think that, at the speeds humans run, wind resistance would trump someones leg-span or how fast they move each leg.

That one guy who ran incredibly fast that one time setting the world record, Usain Bolt, is 6 foot 5 inches. So the fasted man the world has recorded is a tall guy.

@OP- You're 15, you still have time to grow :laugh:

You never know. I friend of mine was HUGE in elementary school. He towered over everyone, thing was that was his growth spurt. Now he's shorter than everyone

My license says I am 173cm tall, whatever the hell that means. I don't know anyone who measures height in cm. I guess it's around 5'8" I seem to get by just fine.

It's not as well documented that he's only 3.4mm across, though, so he does actually have very little wind resistance. You never see him straight on to the camera because you can't see him, he's so narrow.

He is rather skinny. :smile:

But, how about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asafa_Powell, he looks pretty big and he is also tall (6'3"). He is the second fastest guy in the world.

I'm 15 and I'm 5' 7" right now, which is average at my school. I'm supposed to hit two more growth spurts before I turn 21 and end up at 6' 2"-ish.

Heights was a problem for me throughout middle school, where I was about 5' 3" the whole time. Over the summer transition to high school I had a very long growth spurt and gained 4 inches.

I like my girl friends to be shorter than me, which they usually are as the average height for females it around 5' 5", it feels awkward for me to get on my toes to kiss a girl, but I think it's cute when the girl does.

You can be a jockey. And a lot of actors are actually really short, OP.

Wow... your huge.

My kind of man.

Hes obviously joking.

I thought mine was obvious... but apparently I was wrong. :confused:

No, the two comments quoting him seemed sincere to me. I guess, I read them in the wrong context.

Curse the Internet and not having tones in the typing!

Pretty much. The shorter the response, the more vague it usually comes across, context wise.

I'm everybody's kind of man. :hubbahubba:

I'm 5'9" and I don't really care about height, if anything I'd rather be shorter, although if all goes well in life I'd like to move to a particular country where the average height is pretty tall, so maybe I'll get my wish

You scare me.

» Sat May 12, 2012 6:30 pm

I'm 16 and around 5 foot 7. I'm shorter than most guys at my school, but most girls here are my height or shorter, so I really don't have that problem.

» Sat May 12, 2012 11:16 pm

i am 5'11''(maybe even somewhere between 6' and 6'1''), and i still i wish i was taller. and more muscular, too, to go with the height. but i am pretty much done growing now, considering my age, and working out is not an easy thing. i am beginning to think i am finally getting to actually beginning to be accepting of my shortcomings though. (pun not intended, btw, but...)

You can get these shoe inserts I saw on TV. They add height.

Or get Doc Martins. Somehow, steel toes cancel out platforms when it comes to maintaining your manliness.
