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

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.

So how tall are you now?
 
six foot eight and 245

On the plus side: It's like having permanent command seating.

On the negative side: I always feel vaguely hungry.

Damn you will be forced to play basket ball from where I am from
 
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.
 
I'm like idk 5'8 or 5'9 I'd love to be 6'1 because whenever I go to support my friends at boxing events all the tall people like to stand in front of me and don't even offer to let me sit on their shoulders.
 
Somewhere between 5’8 and 5’9 and in the suburb I grew up in- with a lot of fellow Italian-Americans I was basically average height. Only a handful of students in any grade of our high school class were over 6’1.

Once I got to college, different story lol.

I feel many would agree 5’11-6’2 is kind of the ideal area there.

6’3, 6’4 are still probably cool. Once you get 6’5 and beyond, it probably has its fair share of drawbacks and annoyances.

Watched that interview with Comey yesterday- dude towers over virtually everybody in whatever scenario he is in.
 
I am 6'2.75" tall in bare feet. I would like the extra 0.25" to be an even 6'3". I am short compared to my uncles and father. However I wouldn't want to be any taller than 6'3". I know the problems my father's side has especially as they get older. Those Nordic genes I guess.

My daughter is a little over 5'10" and she hates it. My son will be a manlet at 5'8" if he is lucky per the latest projection. He is 13 now. He got his mother's Italian height gene I guess. He is also on medication which stunts his growth so that isn't helping. Before he started it he was always in the highest percentile height-wise as I was and my daughter too. He may need to go on HGH soon. I would gladly give him my over 6 ft inches to help him out.

It really is better if you son is over 6ft. This coming from someone who is 5'9"

LOL Comey is a tall bastard. Are you from NJ? Comey is from NJ. He just didnt grow up in those italian suburbs.
 
I wouldn't care to be anything over 6'4. I can imagine really tall people get stared at wherever they go or someone always makes a "you're tall" comment as if the tall person never realized that.

6'4" isnt really that tall though. The top of their head is only like two hockey pucks above mine. Im 5'9". 6'4" aint giants.

In fact 6ft, 6'2" nor 6'3" is really that much bigger than me. Its bigger, but not unsightly.
 
I'm 5' 11." Ideal height probably would be around 6' 2." When i was younger I would have liked to have been a bit taller, but as i got older i realized that would be a hassle. Can't complain, i'm above average height and buying clothes and public seating aren't usually a problem.

Haha nah but not far off, NY- firs the BX then westchester county most of my life.
 
Ya you're right 6'3, 6'4 is problem free imo except on airplanes. 6'6 & up & I think it might negatively effect you on a daily basis.

I reckon 4'8" and down are the only ones without issues on airplanes.
 
What are the inconveniences?

Mostly just accommodations. Airline seats, waiting room chairs, etc. Roller coasters can be really uncomfortable. I go to San Diego comic con every year and the seats are fucking torture. You bump your head on shit a lot because everything is made for people juuuuuuust a bit shorter than you.

Could be just me. Im just kind of big. Like I should be a linebacker or something.
 
perhaps the only people more insecure are bodybuilders. Hence why theres so much autistic obsession with sizing up other men on Sherdog and places like the Misc. @Seaside is a prime example of this insecurity.

I think most insecure guys are those who are in denial about the looks.

We could easily say rich men, pornstars, actors, businessmen, billionaires, pro athletes, politicians are insecure and that the real 'secure' men are the average men. They all wish for something more it is coping that get them to pretend otherwise same way fat women hate skinny women etc. I tell men admit truth and do Quat you can better yourself and dont' hate success.

5'6" and never cared about being taller. It is weird how obsessed people are with all these height threads every week. I think in middle school a few people mentioned me being short. Funny enough, after middle school I never heard anyone talk about height except for here.
It's definitely a Sherdog thing.

I've never seen so much talk about this topic before.

I almost lost my nose in an exhaust fan in some 3rd world backwater bathroom. They had placed it high enough so none of the locals even noticed and failed to put a screen on it. Donde esta el bano? I waltzed in, cozied up to the urinal and got clipped.....thankfully "just the tip."

But even in western countries you don't fit standard equipment, have to eat tons more to look even remotely jacked, are uncomfortable traveling on planes, have to unfold yourself instead of getting up, have horrible takedown defense, wears out your joints sooner than it should, shorter lifespan, etc
 
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.
