I despise you guys.. I stand at a wee 5'9.5''.. I've always been obsessed with my height and look how short I r.

I really don't know how tall i am, I don't think i have a heights of a person ruler i could measure myself with and i don't know when my yearly check-up is so you all'll just have to wait to find out my height.


hrm... on the new Firefox browser it says y'all is technically a grammatically correct word and yet begger isn't

I am 13 years old and 5"5, which is 5 inches taller then my mom

That's because y'all is a common colloquialism while the correct spelling is beggar.

On topic: I'm still kind of tall. But hey, at least the shorter folks don't have to worry about banging their heads on light fixtures. My grandmother's old place had a couple of low fixtures that my dad and I had to constantly duck.

Not if all the height is in the leg.

It makes it damn tiring to run, becasue it takes a lot of energy to move them then.

Ugh, I'm not tall at all. I DREAM of being six feet. ...Actually, I dream of being *five* feet. I'm 4'10. Which is occasionally nice, but usually sucks. Especially when I need to reach things on top shelves.

On the upside...being 4'10 legally qualifies me as a 'Dwarf.' Sadly, no cool set of Dweemer armour goes along with that designation *sigh* .

The dwemer were elf height so you wouldn't fit their armour anyway

Think of it this way: You can use a ladder to get taller.

Rainer can never use anything to make him shorter without permanent damage

err, you can stand on your knees...

Dammit! See? SEE how the world--even the virtual world--discriminates against people like me?!?!?!

Just kidding . Piscies is right though, Rainer...there's always getting on your knees lol. But why would you want to be shorter? I know being tall must get annoying in certain situations, but...overall, if you could be shorter, would you really want to be?

Yeah, I have to duck for some doors, it becomes instinctual though so I don't usually notice.

15 years and 6'1". you know what scares me? girls that are as tall/taller than me. it just kinda creeps me out for some reason *shrug* male superiority complex..

*welcomes himself once more back to the chorrol boards after another absence*

Well most girls don't like shorter guys then them.. Its proven.. Cause when I was a little kid and right before my growth spurt (and puberty too) all the girls were getting that cool stuff first and the little girlfriend I had back then told me that I was to short for her...

Disadvantage to tallness: Back problems. Taller folks are more susceptible to them. You younger tall people: do what you can to strengthen your back muscles, before bad stuff happens. Trust me. I couldn't play golf for about 2-3 weeks once because of a back injury--at age 20. It was terrible. I'd sit down for a while, then have the damnedest time standing back up.

not so much be shorter than to be more bodily proportionate.

Rainer's legs are most of his height, and as such, it makes it at pain in the boat to find pants that suit you.

Another problem Rainer has is that he cannot swim. His legs are so long it takes more energy just to move them. So Rainer can barely move 3 meters before he starts to tire. And when He tries to float, they just drag him down like an anchor.

and when you're in the middle Isle on a 16 hour flight, the only thing that goes to sleep is Rainer's legs.

Rainer is also slower than some people with shorter legs beacuse his are so long (again with the size issue)

And in places with low roofs...


You get the picture.

I'm not particularly tall for a 25 year-old male. 5'10"

I'm fifteen and 5'7", so relatively short. But I'm taller than most old women I see, so that's a plus.

Well I'm 1.82 metres tall. That would equate in about....6 feet. Tall enough. And yes, I do have the problems you all do with knocking my head over low-hanging door-ways and other low things. It's cool to be tall though.

Im 16 and 6'1, but I know A guy who is my age who's 6'8

wow..a lot of nice tall guys here! yummy!
