Do you like your height?

[storm2006]

I agree, its a natural enhancer. But if you dont have it, theres other ways to enhance it (other then folks getting that wild surgery). Its just that height if a "gift" and the others are skills and talents that actually take effort and hoaning, its harder.

I'm 6'1 btw.

An enhancer is a great way to put it although in some cases I look at as a differentiator. For example, if you were in competition for a outward-facing promotion, a romantic interest, an election, etc I think that all things considered equal that your 6’1” height would give the the advantage over someone 5’8” or shorter. If you are in shape and they are not then it is even more clear cut IMO.

6’1 … I feel 6’3 is the perfect height but I’m good with what I got

I’m fine with being 5’11”, would’ve been nice to join the 6 ft club but I can always lie about that on dating apps.

My size 13 feet on the other hand look goofy

6'0" and totally fine with it. There was a time I wish I was 6'4" when I was a lot younger (in my early 20s. I'll be 47 next month). Main reason for wanting it was I'd have been able to dunk a basketball much more often at 6'4". I dunked ONE TIME at 6' when I was 19 or 20. Took 2 steps, palmed the ball, jumped and had half my forearm over the rim. Clean and smooth dunk. Best friend who was playing on my team couldn't believe it. Never happens AGAIN Adrenaline was flowing for it, that's for sure.

But now, in my later 40s, being into cars as much as I am, if I was 6'4, I'd have a hell of a time fitting into the type of cars my wife owns and the cars my friends all have, AND the car I want to buy next. So I'm at peace with my height.

Brokenbones dad is over 6 feet. Mom 4'11. He's was 5'5

Gotmyknees done was already 6ft. 6'6 with skinny legs after the surgery.

5'10. I made peace with it years ago. My height was never the problem. My lack of self-esteem and confidence was.

One sudden movement and his knees and ankles are gonna start screaming

 

[doublemesh96]

I hope your gait improves eventually cuz ole boy with the dreads was walking like something out of the thriller video. Lookin like a bizarro world Demar Hamlin

 

[fluid hips]

Yea that gait will turn women off.

Better to be short and walk normal instead of looking like you got a deformity

 

[Belgium]

1.78m or 5'10 here (6 feet in chelsea boots ), never really saw my height as important or worth thinking about.
Sure, being tall has its advantages but short kings just need to get over height insecurity. Being insecure about your height is an infinitely bigger turnoff for women than your height itself.

This resonates with me, except I’m 5’5

The worst thing about being 6’3 (and black) is everyone just assumes you can hoop or some type of athletic accomplishments.

I have trouble catching a cold
