My wife and I were out and about today and she's looking at some bug then she turns to me and says, "I don't understand the purpose of small males."

between 6'1" and 6'2", with a 31" inseam. I have an annoyingly long bod. I am a plumber in any regular length shirt.

When the wife (5'4") and I sit side by side, we're the same height. With shoes on, I can straddle a yard stick. My kid hit the lottery because he could have ended up with my short torso and her short legs. Manlet level. Instead, he's nearly 6'3", 29"x35" pants, 145lbs.

Good looking kid and, pretty sure, he's not mine.

ive never heard this phrase before
Well, now you know what to plan for. Revenge toys (wife, boats, cars, bikes, houses, stuff, staff, health, body, etc.). When you hit 50, a long time from now, point and laugh at the high school peakers. :D

Sage advise.

I’m 5ft 9in and I’m the tallest member of my family. My Czech ancestors were all very short. I visited the home my great grand parents built shortly after they arrived in Texas in 1898. I felt like a giant walking through this tiny house, having to duck when going through doorways, and the ceiling roughly 6 inches above my head.

So yeah, I know I’m short, but I’m OK with my height because I know I could have ended up much shorter.

One last note, I sit more comfortably behind the wheel of sports cars than guys that are a few inches taller. :D

Actually it's funny I don't know why we even still use imperial for height and weight. I feel dirty whenever I have to convert something to imperial. It's like going back 50 years in time. :p

6’almost-1” for everyone in this thread who’s been using imperial.
I hate imperial and always mix up the ticks and quotes, so I used a more rational system. (I'm that one weird guy in the US who always tries to push the metric system.)

5'5" and laughing at the talls wedging themselves into the basic economy airline seats behind me.
