I wouldn't mind being taller (but then I'd look like a god damn stick), but it's in the back of my mind.. and I certainly wouldn't go under the knife for that shit.

I hope you're either a chick or 13yrs old cus damn you're short.

Genetics are a bitch, kid. Average height of my race is somewhere around 5'7". Thanks for your hopes and dream for me, but seriously, height doesn't factor much to me.

it could get in the way if you wanted to observe a surgery but you couldn't look over the curtain.

lol pwnd

I don't even know how to respond to... omg, did you just quote yourse... h.a.t.e.u.

haahahahahahahhaahah Ownage of the Year?

I hate the fact that I'm 27 and still shorter than both of my parents, who are both over 6' (my mom is 6' even and my dad is like 6'3")... I think I'm either adopted or a genetic freak. not only am I shorter than them, my black-haired, brown-eyed parents managed to produce a son with blond hair and green eyes

Your dad might really not be your dad.

I have heard about the law of averages. If your parents were below average height, you have much better chance of being taller than them. If your parents were above average height you are much more likely to be shorter than your parents.

Damn guys, height envy much? The average height is influenced by older guys who grew up in times when proper nutrtition was much less likely and people in general were much shorter. And the US has a lot of immigrants who come from poverty and may have the same short stature due to nutrition as people in the US 50+ years ago, on top of being naturally short in stature due to their native central & south American genetics. Obviously members of a tech forum are going to mostly be young and affluent enough to have benefitted from proper nutrition during adolescence.

I don't know, I haven't actually been measured in years, nor do I really care that much. A few people here have seen me in real life and they will know whether I am full of it or not.

I still believe I am between 6'0" and 6'1".

I've also noticed it. Seems everyone here is at least 6' tall, makes an average of 150k year, has a supermodel wife, has owned multiple homes by age 30, traveled the world, and has a few year's worth of living expenses in the bank.

Not me. I am only 5'10" or so, I make decent money, still single, still renting even I am in my 30s <not sure where I will settle down yet>, but I did travel to many cities/countries/continents and do have a few years of living expenses in my banks.

Ugh. When you type it in google, remember that the last .8 is in feet not inches. 8/10 feet is vastly different from 8 inches.

Sounds about right from memory when we met. I believe I'm something similar if not a little taller but like you I've never bothered to get myself professionally measured.






Now that I read that it sounds like getting my dick measured or something.

Oh yeah, people are scared of me too. That can be fun though

Sized just right. Never wished to be any other height.

However, seats are usually too close to the ground, and I have to bend over to slip my hands under a faucet. But those things are just too low.

I'm about 6' 2", maybe 6' 1 3/4". Aesthetically speaking, I wouldn't mind being a couple inches taller, but generally I'm ok with my height. The only times my height can be annoying are in certain showers, depending on the shower head, and my feet hang off the edge of a non-king sized bed if I'm laying on my stomach. Hide and seek isn't quite as fun as it was when I was 5 or so, and could fit into the cupboards in the kitchen, etc., either.

You declared you would be three inches taller
You only became what we made you.

6'2" is perfect for me. Taller than most, but not tall enough to be a burden. Honestly I couldn't stand being "short".

i am only 5'1... but its probably closer to 5.05 because i remember when i first got my license, i was measured and told the lady to "round up." hehe

in regards to hide and seek..... i can still fit in all those places you suggested. hehe including a dryer, thats fun
