How tall are you?

[irain]

I know... Kind of a bland thread, but I'm bored out of my mind.

How tall are you?

I'm 14... 6 feet and 4 inches.

 

[Nermal]

I'm 22, and 181 cm.

 

[2nyRiggz]

25.....5'9....yup i know im short

Bless

 

[displaced]

I'm 6' 4" too

But I'm 25 (although, since we're now in January on this side of the pond, I can start the countdown to my 26th birthday on the 28th Jan!)

[edit: weird, isn't it... I'm a child of the Metric System... I don't understand Imperial units, and I don't want to. But in the UK we still measure physical attributes (fnarr!) in Imperial... height in feet & inches, weight in stones (14 lbs) and pounds)]

Hehe...

For us 6'+ers, Christmas is the 'headbutting shiny decorations' time of year! There's a decoration at work I can rest on my head and I look amazingly like Ziggy Stardust-era David Bowie

[masterapple04]

I'm 18, and 5'10". I'm also jealous of you people around 6' - 6'2"; I wish I were just that little bit taller.

But are you jealous of us in our mid-40's? *;o)

It has its good and bad points

Constant ducking...

Having to stoop to join in with conversations amongst people below head-height. We should be genetically engineered to have ears on our chests

High centre of gravity. It's like a tree. Once we start toppling, there's not much that'll stop us, short of some fancy footwork.

Kissing. I've never been out with a girl close to my height. That'd be nice... to hug someone around the waist, instead of doing that elbows under the shoulders thing!

Paying adult fares: I've had to pay an adult fare for public transport since I was about 12. Very difficult to ask for a child fare when you're stooped in front of the bus driver.

But there are benefits.... err....

.... hold on, they'll come to me ....

I can paint the ceilings of my house without a ladder... I can have shelves as high as I like... and you get that wierd experience of marking your height against a wall with your hand, standing back and going woah... that's all me!

Mind you, once you get above 6" 4' ish, there's a weird effect. The difference between 5" 10' and 6" doesn't seem that dramatic... but the difference between me at 6" 4' and Bubbasteve at 6' 6" looks immense! Like 'woah!'

 

[mariahlullaby]

Yep...I am the shortest MR member (as of now)!

Dum dum dum....
I'm 5'1 and I'm 18 (I'm female, so yeah, I've stopped growing).

Don't say you're not wickedly jealous. Oh yeah.
