how tall are you?

[pennylane]

5'9"... probably more like 5'8.5". I wouldn't care except my brother is 6'0" and my dad (now deceased) was 5'10" or 5'11". I lost a lot of sleep in high school and didn't grow much then. I sort of blame that. I'm not desperate and I don't wish to be taller, but I wouldn't mind being an inch or two taller.

Don't fall for the misconception that taller = healthier. My brother and cousin 2-5" taller than me, and they eat total crap. They got/get about 6 hours of sleep on weeknights, but sleep until like 11-1 on weekends.

Shorter doesn't mean healthier either. But when you get well above 6', it adds a constant strain to your heart your entire life. That's why you don't see many tall, old people.

 

[wvtalbot]

6'6" and I would rather be 6'3" the tall comments and the "did you play basketball?" get old.

 

[Krazy4Real]

6'2" and I like where I'm at.

 

[FallenHero]

6'4"...tall enough to intimidate most people when I get angry, but not "OMG LOOK AT THE FREAK" huge.

 

[DaShen]

5'11.75"

This is tall for asians, but I would definitely like to be around 6'6" or 6'7" if I had my way. Maybe not good for biking, but for basketball, that would be sweet.

 

[Trikat]

5'8" wish I was atleast 6', but not too much taller than that.

 

[acole1]

5'6" ...not bad, but girls usualy like taller guys...

my confidence overwhelms them if they give me a chance

tall isn't always attractive, you can be 7 feet tall and look like a goof ball

 

[DaiShan]

5'6, If I were 6'2 it would have helped with swimming heh. I don't let it bother me, I just walk around like I'm really 6'5 (Woo for Napoleon complexes!! )

 

[lozina]

6'4" wish I was a bit shorter actually. everything is made to fit small people

also taller people have harder time to do some physical tasks like shovelling snow off the driveway mechanically speaking.

I like my height. I don't understand why people want to be taller than 6' 3-5". Stresses the heart, it's not healthy. When's the last time you saw a tall elderly person?

Amen, same as you, 5' 9" is just right for me.

 

[Shiizu]

I am happy with my height of 5'8". I'm right on the border of "tall" for my gender but not too tall or too short.

That's one plausible explanation. Or I could be a hermaphroditic pygmy :beer:

 

[psydancerqt]

i'm 5'3"

 

[The Godfather]

5'11", I'm 16 right now, and i'm still in beginning of puberty. Yeah, my family genes enter puberty late.

I hope to grow to at least 6'3" You think its possible? My friend says puberty has nothing to do with grow spur or something.

 

[Shiizu]

Other than genes, the best way to maximize height is eat lots of good foods, get a ton of sleep, and do some physical exercise.
