height standarts Anonymous
hi /fit/. i was wondering whats the standart height for a guy. im 183 cm tall. (i think its about 6'1) and think im kinda short. especially when i look to 16-18 year old teenagers. how the fuck are all of them over 190.

there is always going to be someone stronger, faster, smarter, funnier than you but you are plenty tall enough just be your best....the strongest man in the world is 5 ft 11 so you are taller than he is. also cheat everyone does it you will notice many many people who only wear boots and shoes that make you a little bit taller.

I think he meant Ronnie Coleman. Not strongest in the world by any means, but damn best built.

he does not mean ronnie. Mariusz Pudzianowski is the strongest man in the world and he is 180. yes im kinda getting relieved when i remember him lol

Hey, I just remember a similar thread, and someone remarked that you wouldn't look good as a bodybuilder unless your were 6'0"+ and someone used Ronnie Coleman as the example to prove you didn't need to be tall as shit. Hence the reason I mentioned it.

I'm fucking tall. I'm over 6'4, and wearing shoes (something I do relatively frequently, seeing as how I'm not homeless and all) pushes me past 6'5. I like it, but I think that this is starting to push it. I'd prefer not to grow any more, but I expect that I've got a little bit left in me.

I think in social situations being taller than average is an advantage (nothing shorter guys can't easily overcome by being socially competent though, don't get me wrong,) but I'd expect that at some point it starts working against you. I've had a thing for two or three Asian girls in my last years of school and early years of uni, and I'm pretty sure at least one of them felt downright intimidated by my height and flicked the "cold bitch" switch to blow me off.

I'd like to see him do a quadruple handspring, actually I wouldn't as I'm part jamacian (only 6'2" boohoo) I have great respect for him but 6'5" constitutes to a slower reaction time and less mastery over bodyweight, also you stick out in a crowd (not necessarily a good thing) and you make a bigger target for a gun.

Can we just agree that height has its advantages and you can have great athletic performance possibilities no matter what height you are? There are great athletes from a 4'10" shawn johnson type all the way up to 7'6" yao ming.

taller people are happier and much more attractive to girls, to a certain extent. I'm not sure what the limits are for being tall or ave, but i'm guessing 5'10" -6'2" is the ideal male height in general.

As long as you don't turn into a beanstalk I don't think there's "too tall". Almost no one can grow to over 6'10" naturally. (Without pituitary tumors and whatnot.)

Unless you're intimidating as fuck and scare girls away.

There is no ideal height because every person is different. If you mean for sports it depends on what sport and what you do in said sport. For an NBA center 6'1" wont cut it you need to be at least 6'10" where as for a soccer player 5'11" is more than enough to perform as well as possible.

Lol lucky tall bastards.

I'm 5'9". Only time I've ever felt like I was average height was in Japan.

Only good thing about my height is that I do auto racing, and most sports/race cars are designed around somebody about my height.

Same here. Although alot of people have a hard time believing that I'm that short, saying that I'm really well porpotioned so it is hard to tell. I've also got a big chest and almost cartoonishly broad shoulders and long arms.

To everyone in this thread:

Protip: height is nothing if you are not confident and comfortable with yourself around people.

Learn to respect yourself for who you are, and people will respect you accordingly.

That said, hope you are all happy with your aquired growth spurts, no matter how tall/short you are.

haha I love it when short people say I'm fucking tall.

I usually respond to them that I'm only 6'1''

Which is a huge mindfuck to them as I'm 6'4'' and 185lbs.

6'6" or 1.98m here.

The only bed I've ever found that's been big enough, was from Ikea. God bless the Swedes and their Nordicness. Cars are a different story - I'm learning now, and I am not fucking looking forward to the practical bits... preparing for the suck.

average height is about 5'8" around here.

I'm 5'11"ish (6'1" with the boots I wear) and it's fucking RARE for local guys to be taller than me. About as tall, a little taller, yea. But more than 3 inches is rare. I usually freeze up a bit when I see guys that much taller than me.

I've made a habit of enjoying it and standing up straighter lately.
