How tall are you? Are you satisfied with how tall you are? Do you think your life would be easier if you were a different height?

I am around 5"9. Not a good height though it could have been much worse. I do not think height is even an urgent factor on women since even an autistic short women can still easily find a man whenever she wants to. I do believe height is a vital factor in life difficulty for men though. Being taller makes you more likely to even land a good job.

5'11 / 180cm

im on the fence, on one hand i like the fact that im tall and it makes me stand out, and i feel powerful and cool and sometimes even attractive exactly because of my height, especially when i wear platforms to be even taller
on the other hand, there are some places and situations where id rather be inconspicuous and be able to blend in with other women, but most of the time im destined to stand out, cuz i also dress pretty loud
yeah so its mostly concerns of safety that id want to be shorter sometimes
and theres this conflict, cuz i do like to stand out sure, i like attention, but my height is something that i cannot change, and since im taller than an average woman i sometimes struggle to feel "normal" and i begin to think that theres something wrong with me when there really isnt; insecurity i guess

and goddamit why do i always have to be the big spoon bitches think thats my default preference but what if i wanna be the small spoon sometimes my back is cold i wana feel tiny and be cute and coddled too mmmkay

I can guarantee that being tall is not as great as people make it out to be. For reference, I'm 6'1 which is tall but not ridiculously NBA size type of height. Since I was 13 I've been suffering from Chronic back pain issues from a mixture of sports and generally lacking any decent posture at my height. Started with a herniated disk in my lower back and a hairline fracture that went unnoticed for years. I'm not saying that you can't have these issues if your short, but being tall felt like it exasperated it. Even more so, if you're tall and play any sport they chuck you into that position and then when people begin to catch up to you in height your done. For example, I played Australian Rules Football since i could walk and growing up I was considerably taller than other kids. With that being said I played the Ruckman position (it's like the center position in basketball). When competition gets stiffer and the physical differences become more leveled kids who played roles one dimensionally lack the skill required to play at higher levels. This only became apparent when I was 17 playing for Rising stars program. Anyway, all this is to say that I definitely didnt make the AFL and lost any hope of making it as a pro athlete at all.

The benefits tho however, Needless to say I don't really have to explain the benefits. It is nice being tall in the dating world and certainly helped me out a bit with that. So yeah it helps there but that kinda feels like it.

185cm, sometimes it's kind of a pain using things that are designed for the average Joe, especially chair and table heights, so I would like to be shorter.

A lot of you are capping about your height and there is maybe some sample bias going on, only tall people want to post in this thread

I am not sure my exact height because apparently they don't bother measuring your height at the doctors unless you're a kid. I am no less than 6'1" though. I often intentional give the lower number but I'm probably no taller than 6'4"

180cm - pretty average when it comes to my country

my late father and many of my relatives from my French side of family were 190+ but I didn't inherit the heigth so I ain't 190-195+.

I ain't feelin bad with my current heigth, aswell as I ain't being very proud or happy, as I feel about myself I am just average.

I'm 5'4 (~162cm). My whole life my family have always called me tall, cause I genuinely was taller then them. But as I think about it, I'm a short ass motherfucker. I really do not care that am I short, however I can feel that its gonna have its ramifications in the future.

My driver's license says I'm 5'8", but when I measured my height at my doctor's place, they said I'm 171 cm, which I believe is around 5'7 1/2", so I guess I'm somewhere between 5'7 1/2" to 5'8". I do wish I could be taller at the end of the day, but oh well lol 🤷‍♂️

6'4". There are pros and cons, just like with everything. I can reach things pretty well, but also have a tendency to smack my head on things at work if I'm not paying attention. Also, unless they're large talls, shirts are always too short. Lol.

@wizdom224 same age and same height. I'm never called tall but I'm never called short. 5'10/5'11 is like the height where anyone shorter than you is short but anyone taller is tall

Wouldn't mind be shorter and thinner :D Would be easier to climb into machinery at work or be more convenient to reach into some spots. And bang my head against places less.

191cm.

Grass is always greener on the other side though. Short people want to be taller (more respect, more strength, better chances with ladies). Tall people though will tell you it's not worth being tall, since everything in this world is designed for average-height people.

My car seat doesn't support my shoulders, and the head rest is way too low. I can't rest my back in it comfortably. I've driven various cars throughout the years and all of them are not suited to tall people.

Office chairs - same problem. They don't reach the top of my back, and they don't reach the top of my head either.

Beds - I have a king size bed, and when I fully straighten myself, my feet are in the air. I have the biggest sheets and they don't fully cover me. I have to sleep in a Yamcha pose to fit in the bed.

Cooking and cleaning the dishes is harder since if you're tall, you have to be slightly bent to reach the kitchen appliances. Shorter people can use them while fully straight, so it doesn't put strain on their backs. Doing stuff while slightly bent forwards puts a strain on your back.

Buying clothes was always a nightmare. If I find clothes that are good in length, they're usually extremely baggy, since they're made for obese people.

Buying shoes is hard. I have a 48 size foot, and most shoe stores cap out at size 46. My parents had to drive me to a bigger city in hopes of finding a store that had shoes my size. Nowadays I have to order shoes online, since the local store caps out at 46/47.

Fitting in the airplane seat or in bus seat is a nightmare. My knees are hitting the seat in front of me, and I have to sit kinda sideways to remedy this. When the guy in front of me wants to extend their seat, there's always arguments.

People in the cinema or during lectures always complain they can't see because of me. Fuck them.

You spend more money on food and protein supplements, while you don't earn more because of your height.

I haven't been measured in forever, but I think I'm either 5'7 or 5'8.
I don't come from a tall family unlike my nephew and brother-in-law, who both tower over me, I was the tallest of my immediate family though.
I can reach what I need for myself and others, so it's fine, if I was any taller it would be no doubt cause me issues, as I'm very clumsy and absent minded.

Guys here are complaining about their height and nobody will think of them as attractive because of their height... while there are thousands of Levi-fangirls out there.
