Seems like it would be possible... google probably has your answer. There's also that wierd leg-lengthing surgery I've heard about in Russia, but I'd try a psychologist before that.

This thing your on at the moment.. you know, the internet, apparently it's a good source of information. Have you considered giving it a go? I hear Google is an efficient way to find things, maybe try that. Try typing one of these into the search bar, "At what age do people stop growing?" or "Can I still grow until i'm 24?", stuff like that.

...or, maybe 'ask again'.

There're gonna be women like me who are tallish (5'8") and because we grew up with tall men in the family that's the norm for us. The men in my fam. are all between 6'2" and 6'5". It's hard for me not to be disappointed with a guy who's under 6'. But like I said, it's not everything. play up the positives about yourself. Don't underestimate personality. I've dated men that are a bit short for my taste because of other assets that they had.

You might keep growing though. I'm 26 and just grew half an inch. Just worry about the things you can control though or your life will be one major headache.

I see this a lot. "My dad/brothers/uncles are tall so blah blah blah". Why can't you two just state you prefer tall men (or feel most attracted to them), and leave it at that, instead of attempting to justify it like most women do?

What's wrong with justifying it?

Yeah, that kind of caught my eye as well. How can you be "dissapointed" with a guy who is under a certain height? Its not as if he has grown to the height that he chose deliberately. Bad choice of words.

One thing i do know for a fact that women avoid like a plague, is short guys who blame their height for lack of success in dating and let it impact their lives and their level of self-confidence and self-esteem.
this x1000 !!

Well, I can see some instances where justifying is understandable. But with height, the justification (something other than just mere preference) doesn't make sense most of the time.
