How tall would or do you wish you were and how tall is to tall?

5'10 or 5'11 over 6 ft is already considerd a giant here in the philippines
 
6'6" is about perfect for playing Offensive Tackle so I'm good. I could probably do a bit better at 6'4" as my league is shorter than the pros but the intimidation is key. As long as I get my hips lower than them still I'm good .

I'm 6ft but wish I was 6'2" barefoot.

But somewhere there is someone who is 5'6" wishing they was 5'8" and that person wishes they was 5'10" and then someone out there would dream of being my height so where does it end? We always want a little more.

My parents are 5'1" and 5'4" so I am very lucky that I am even over 5'8" especially seeing as my cousin is under that.

What are the inconveniences?
Click to expand...

-Complete strangers asking you how tall you are.

-Complete strangers taking liberties with you because you are tall ("He must be a friendly giant, better make an NBA/Hows the weather up there joke- after the billionth time it gets....tedious), low self-esteem drunks at bars are the worst for that.

-Having to practise restraint on those people because no matter how audaciously out of line they get, the optics of even raising your voice on them, will never favor you, particularly in the skinny-jean era. I've never really had the luxury of allowing myself to truly lose my temper.

It's a manlet's world after all.

-Having to pay extra at Big and Tall stores (i have a 7ft 1 wingspan). It's hard to find size fifteens (even for basketball) for the shoes I like without having to travel.

-I'm always hungry. Always. The little-ass portions people eat when I'm their house for dinner makes me wonder how they grow at all.

-The area of town I live in has a lot of pre-world war two houses, which means I'm probably gonna get CTE later in life.
Judging by how low the door frames are people must have been getting Mutumbo'd by actual Smurfs back in the day.

-Because all your limbs are generally in proportion to your height, you are forced to get Magnum condoms...anything else is a prayer for child support payments.
Plus the chicks that you want to do anal with always give you an incredulous, appalled look that makes you feel bad for asking. (Ruins the mood)

-No one ever calls fouls on you during pickup because the having a size advantage means that you can be clutched, and grabbed, and hacked.
But heaven forbid you hang from the rim a second to long. Then it's "showboating"

(You darn right it's showboating!)

-And you are always hungry. But at 245 I actually look lean. It's infuriating.

-And you are always always hungry.

Someone said on misc all the big pornstars are short though. Height does not correlate. Maybe in your case. It odd if true though

I wanted to be like 6'2" or 6'3". I not want to be taller. I be a pro athlete or something and be rich, and pay for the hottest escorts.

But unfortunately, I only 5'9" barefooted. I am taller than my parents at least. I tried to play as much street basketball and volleyball in gym class and in college. I thought jumping sports make you taller.

Yeah to me 6'3 is cut off. 6'4 max.

Know a guy that tall he doesn' like it says he wis he's he was 6'2 or 6'1
 
6"2 and pretty proportional.

Planes are a pain in the ass, and I am not particularly long of leg.

Can't get into the drivers seat of many sports cars.

That said, the trim makes up for the downsides

Would not mind being 6'1 or 6'2. Would not want to be taller than 6'2 but absolute max 6'3 or 6'4.

6'6 and taller seems a nighmare
Couls not imagine 2m tall 6'6.75. Even though if you are that tall and jacked it is so dominant.


Under 6ft manlet Crew checking in. I think 6'1 or 6'2 ideal male height and women ideal height is 5'3 to 5'5. Women prefer 8 inches height difference to like 10.

I am 6'4 and that is the max. I could not handle being one inch taller. I am already at the cusp of being able to find pants long enough for me. Some cars I flat out can't fit in.

Exact same. I'm 6'4" tall (truthfully about a 1/4 inch shorter than that). My proportions are almost identical to John Jones and finding pants and shirt sleeves that fit when younger was a nightmare. It has got better as I aged and particular in towns like Toronto where there are more tall people (athletes, etc) and I can typically find stuff off the rack but not all styles so I miss out on many pieces I would otherwise want to buy.

my older brother is 6'2" tall and I think that is about the perfect height even though I loved lording over him that I was taller and he was a manlet.

I don't have the super long JBJ arms but I do have long legs and a short torso. Running pants are like the hardest things to find and dress pants are just going to have to be ordered.

My uncles are all taller than me and fuck that, dude.

Im 6'1 and happy with that. It's not remarkable but not tiny. I don't know how you tall drinks of water do airlines. Jesus Christ.

It isnt that bad as long as you have an aisle seat. Guys 6'7" can stand in the aisle and have plenty of head room while standing.
 
How can a young Andre the Giant be with Dana White?

I have to crane my neck already. I always get bumped into when sitting aisle and I can't rest comfortably unless it's a really spacious first class. Forget about coach. If there's not at least business class I refuse to fly unless it's am emergency. Maybe that's a width issue but I hate feeling like a sardine. I notice my joints take a bit of a beating flying coach. Can only imagine the giraffes.
 
I’m exactly 6 feet. Wouldn’t mind an extra inch or two. I’m actually below average in my group of friends.

Probably moreso that being short tends to make you look better endowed, maybe more convenient to work with two people closer to the same size as well?

Yeah height and penis size have no correlation.

That's another negative. Most women expect tall guys to be hung like a horse, and having a merely proportional appendage (which is obviously larger than average) will be disappointing to some women.
 
I'm 5'7" and my best friend is 6'7", which is too tall. He has to duck under doorways and what not. Cars suck too, as he can't get into compact cars. I wouldn't mind being taller. That'd be nice, as society puts a lot of value on it.
Height privilege yo.
