What's your ideal height?

I'd like to be 6'4". I'm 6'1" now but I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller, I wish I had a girl who looked good - I would call her, I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat and a six-four Impala.

read my mind :lol:

I'm okay with my height now, which is 5'6" at the most.

My Dad is 6'5 and i really want to play volleyball when i grow up, so maybe 6'8 or 9, im 6 feet now and 14 years old

I'm perfectly content with 5"10 though my bro isn't so fortunate he is 5"6 and like 7 years older than me.

I'm perfectly fine with my height (6'2")

I'm 1.83m (6 Foot) now. Happy with my height but I wouldn't mind being around maybe 6'3-6'4. Wouldn't really want to be any taller than that.

[QUOTE="t3hrubikscube"]I am 6'. I would rather be 5'6''-5'10'', but I guess it's not a big deal. I'm trying to accept being an Amazonian beast.mrbojangles25

no! tall women are epic! Plenty of tall men in the world that won't have Napoleon complexes like short guys, i.e. being intimidated by tall women :P

don't accept your awesome Amazonian features...be proud of them!

I find it that Tall Guys are generally push overs and do not have a strong presence, plus short guys are generally studly.

If I ever make it to 5'9'' or 5'10'' I'll be a happy man DivergeUnify

tall guys are pushovers because if we ever pushed back, a lot of people would be in trouble :P As for lacking a strong presence, well, that has nothing to do with height.

Not necessarily, height does not = strength or power.

Couldn't imagine being anything other than 5'4. I'm fine with where I am now.

Would love to be 6 feet exactly, but I'm only 5' 9" Right now :(

I'm 5'7" now, I kind of wish I was a couple inches shorter. Even 5'5" or 5'6" would be nice.

how did you come up with this sense that this is what tall people actually think? My post? I was obviously joking, hence the :P emote

inferiority complex manifested by a below-average height?

I dont know what your deal is, man, but its your problem, and definitely not a problem caused by tall people. I am sorry you are insecure with yourself, though, and I can assure you that you likely have nothing to feel bad about, least ofall your height. Just do not imply that tall people think we are better than short people...I have never in my entire life looked down at someone and said "HA HA HA what a short person, they are so pathetic" nor do most tall people I wager.

Jeeeezzz....

at least I can go to sleep tonight knowing I am not so cold and shallow as to say tall people lack a strong presence...

Wow, slow down. I have seen it time and time again actually, people are pretty judging of height which I find comical. In my experience I have had people look down upon me simply because of my height.

I don't mind being short, most Body Builders aren't much taller than me and I will end up being around there height wise.

oooooookayy...I've seen short people be aggressive jerks and intentionally start fights with people larger than them in a vain attempt to prove to the world and themselves that their being short doesnt make them inferior.

The majority of the "bodybuilders" I see at the gym are pretty damn short (likely because they started when they were too young and worked out improperly :P )

I've seen countless examples of short people "compensating for their shortcoming" (no pun intended), but do I stereotype?

Of course not, because theyre not compensating for their shortcoming any more than tall people are being arrogant. Its a crude, silly generalization that people like you reinforce (and, in turn, perpetuate for your own generalization).

In short, it is all coincedence.

yeah, it could be worse. You could be tall and fat...I know for a fact people stare at me. At least youre, you know, pretty average as far as size goes, Saxon (I am assuming).

Lol nice puns and I know what you mean about guys going to start fights, altho who knows if short people are the majority of that crowd. I am not like that tho, I am not agressive in person I am just strong, I don't go looking for a fight, but I will defend myself regardless of the opponent.

Yeah, but thats not the reason I am short it is mostly my genetics and then I was born with bones two years behind which is a drag, but Docs said they will catch up eventually and I will be growing in my 20s.

No, and I haven't been around people like that in awhile, and you can tell by how they react when thet realize how tall or rather how short you are and so on.

And now lets say if I am going to go back several years, I was always picked on for being shorter and they would always assume that because I was shorter I was weak, well it wasn't the case and I always defended myself from bullies whether it be physically or verbally.

Just inquiring.. because it's ironic that people say that weight lifting will stunt your growth... cause i just so happen to be into that back when i hit puberty and on for until i was about 16-17.

While confident with my own height (like i said in my previous post), wanna know.

Is there any truth that? or is that just an urban myth.

Probably what I am now (6' 1").

It depends on what you do and if you hurt yourself doing it. Squats where you have the barbell on your shoulders is known to compress your spine. You can also damage the tendons near your armpits by doing dumbbell bench bress simply because the tendons are still developing. It won't necessarily stunt your growth, but it can or could.

I know the feeling of being stared at for the wrong reasons.

I am still below the average of the more accepted range height wise and I have put on a respectable amount of muscle which is prolly the only reason why I don't care as much about being short.

It would be tough being fat, but at least that is something that is changeable, unless if it is related to some health problem.

But you are right, things can always be worse and you just gotta play the cards you were dealt.
