Whats your height/ideal height?

More or less guaranteed. You're a little above average but your gf is extremely tall.

There's a rough rule of thumb to calculate likely height of kids. Take average height of parents and add 2.5 inches for boys, subtract 2.5 inches for girls.

I met her when she was sitting down

I never heard of that rule, its ok for boys to be taller than their dad but Ive been thinking if I had a daughter I'd give her some cigarettes when she's about 5ft10 to stunt her growth.

Jennifer Parker

5"9 either, not overweight...
like my height...
not taller than my boyfriend, when I wear heels
don't look too small when I don't

Maria Sharapova is 6"2 at least. her fiance is 6"7.

Can you imagine how bloody tall those kids will be???

My eldest son's 6'2" - and he's only 15, that's scary.

He could well have stopped growing though. Many do around that age or even earlier! Is tallness commonplace in your family/your partners family?

6ft and love it. Just small enough so public transport and airplanes aren't hell but taller than most girls and above average among the lads. Great height for standing crowds like concerts or hill 16 but doesnt block peoples view in the cinema :L . Always wondered what life would be like as a tall guy or short guy

Awful for me at concerts, I'm 5"6 and spend most of the show on tippy toes. I do be cursing ye 6 footers. Only do it because I envy ye

Oh I see, maybe you just have a genetic spike that made ya taller. I heard that some families get that, and manage to have one tall kid, and it can skip a generation.

It's strange though because most of my cousins would be average or above average height, again all coming from shorter genes ?

Anyway I won't question it! I'm grateful for my height but any guy would be a liar if he said he didn't want to be bigger :pac:

Ideally people wanna be a few inches above the average, this first page here reads a lot like a "how well did you do in the leaving" thread i've seen on here.

Rupert Everett is 6'4" but according to him, he was much shorter as a teen:

"My mum distorted my self-image by telling me I was really tall. I am now, but then I was really tiny. I was only 5'1" until I was 16. I spent most of my 20s bent double, leaning like a giant redwood that has just been felled, but now I'm standing up straighter."

What is average height in Ireland anyway. 5"10 men and 5"5 women I'm guessing?

In Holland it's 6"1 for men- tallest country in the world!

Imho (and no homo :P) very tall only looks good on a guy who's well built. Kind of like a back row rugby player!

Tombi!

I'm below the average height for a woman in Ireland.
I'm male.
I'm also fairly fat.

Yet I'm a happy man.

The biggest load of bs I've ever ever heard he either meant 5"11 (still unlikely) or he is taking the absolute p1ss

Oh yeah bigger is always better for us dudes. One of my old bosses from where I used to work was 7"2 to me that is freakishly tall. This was in a supermarket and anybody in the shop could spot him a mile away. All you could see is the head floating by the high shelving. Always thought he must be great for spotting shoplifters!

Ideally, I'd like to be 25 foot tall and roam the earth like Godzilla, knocking over buildings and standing on cars.

Narcissistic tripe tbh.

Miss Lockhart

I'm nearly 5'4". I would like to be 5'7" but I'm not really too bothered.

I reached my full height/weight/chest size when I was 11. I was so out of place in 6th class and then most people overtook me in secondary school.

Narcissistic tripe tbh.

If the average height was 5'4 (for men), those that are ~5'8 would be proud of it and be the first to respond to this thread (such as the arrogant 6'+ men here thus far)

Likewise, if the average height was 6'4, the 5'10'-6'2 crowd would be insecure and wear elevator shoes.

False Prophet

Never measured ,so not sure say im 6ft /6.1.
In ireland my ideal would be 6.2
In America maybe over 7 ft so i could play basketball in the nba:D
Each Generation the average is getting bigger

colmdiniho

I'm 18 and almost 6"7. It's awesome

Are you insecure about your height? You seem very bitter about such a trivial topic.

Early bloomer you were ....was weird for me too in a male perspective, when I got to 5th class there was a smig above my lip that I didn't shave off till near enough the end of 6th class :eek:

Calm down, will you? I'm tiny compared to most women and I'm in my early 20s and a man. If someone is tall, let them be happy with it. I'm happy enough being my size.

There are serious disadvantages of being too tall(harder to be a pilot,skillfull soccer player,F1 driver,low ceilings/doorways,jockey etc)

I'm actually 6'3.

I was trying to make people see the delusion they're living under; thinking life is about being superior and special to others. This attitude only locks one in low level awareness.

TeddyTedson

6"2 (and a half:p)
I had a very late growth spurt which was weird. I went from being almost the smallest in my class to one of the tallest over a Summer.
Now I'm around 85KG it's fine. I'd hate to be overly skinny for my height.
My ideal weight will be when I reach just over 15 stone

Noboy thinks they're superior.
There are great advantages to being tall and small.
Just like there are great disadvantages.

I really don't get you. Nobody acted like they're better than anoyne else so far.

7 ****in foot 2? :eek:!

That's way way too tall and not attractive IMO.

I think it gets very awkward once you start going over 6'4. 6'2 would be perfect to me.

I'm 5'2, I like being this height

Used to be goin out with a fella who was 6'7 years ago.

Yeah trying to cover up the 34DDs when changing for PE was awkward when nobody else even had a bra! It did make me very self conscious for a long time after. And adults were the worst one for commenting!

You don't get it. It's deeply linked into many things an individual does on a subconscious level. Ireland is a particularly narcissistic country.

Message boards should be purely for the free-flow of ideas and information. Too many people use them for ego boosts. There's never been a more prime example of this than this board.

What? The only thing I understand about being so small is "I can't reach that high shelf, I'll ask someone taller to do it for me". That's about it that I've had to do based on my height.

Yeah I swear, he was a big thin man like a stick insect sort of, he totally stood out towards anyone else in the shop, he just towered over everybody down there.

It used to be really funny working there as I worked with some family members in the shop and some of my family are like 5"2 and watching them trying to keep up with the 7 footer was hilarious, he'd walk around at his normal pace while anyone that was 5"2ish had to nearly jog to keep up with him! Yeah you are right being too tall might have some disadvantages like say going clothes shopping or something, ya'd never find anything to fit.

So you're saying that people only post here to stroke their own egos?

Well, thanks for pointing that out to us, Mr. I'm 6ft 3 inches tall.

As a man, my first concern is always "is my cock better than his". So mine is roughly 300KM around, for the ladies info of course
