im 6 ft 4 and I wish I was little shorter like your height or 6'2..oh well what can i do?

True, but what really strikes me as odd is the way that certain already tall guys continue to exaggerate. Because of my height, strange men frequently approach me and want to make a comparison. Legit 6'2" is even with my eye if I look at the horizon. Guys who are perhaps 6'3" claim to be 6'5 or 6'6. If they knew what really comes with such a height I don't think they'd continue to make such nonsense comments. I would trade heights with these guys in a heartbeat.

I'm 6'1", but with a 6'4" wingspan. My legs are also that of a 6'4" guy. Pants shopping is horrible. I'd gladly trade an inch for 20 pounds.

Eh, that's whole lot better "problem." It causes pain in the neck for little people like me, but there are plenty of tall women who can't find tall guys.

6'0" 180 must make things easier for clothes shopping than my current 6'1" 160.

5'3 to 5'6: Most women will reject you immediately based on your height. Get used to fat and ugly women. Most people won't take you seriously.

5'7 to 5'8: Some will consider you if you have a lot going for you: good looks, nice body, good job, etc. Men will respect you if you are a pro fighter or very muscular.

5'9 to 5'11: Average. You are on a level playing field.

6'0 to 6'4: You have a big advantage in life. You have women and respect from men. People listen when you talk.

6'5 and above: Height becomes a slight disadvantage, some women will not date you, people stare at you everywhere you go.

And most of the responses, even from the taller guys go hand in hand with this chart

And my footsies will thank you! They're not necessarily comfortable in 4+" shoes.

Pig out for me, for Pete's sake! Wish I could do it.
