Hi!
What do you think about this height? Would you be happy with it?
-
I'd love to be 185-188cm legit, not because I keep seeing taller people or I feel really short, but because I'd be about as tell as my old man and maybe I wouldn't feel like I've done something wrong when it comes to my nutrition. I'm starting to think the lack of vitamin D might've cucked me because I always played games, so I had almost no reason to go outside.
-
I consider this a decent height. Tall but not very tall. You'd be tall in most countries around the world and above average in a couple of countries in Europe. I wouldn't like to be taller than 6'1/6'2. I want to bulk easily, fit through the door and drive most of the cars on the market. Also, being taller than that can negatively impact health.
-
The way I see it, anything over 6 feet is too tall.
I see the perfect height as 5'11. You could travel even to short countries without feeling like a freak, while still not being considered short anywhere in the world.
-
The taller the better. I would like to be 195-200m. That would be perfect
-

I wouldn't mind being 200cm+ either, but that's just because I know a few giants and I've always liked the idea of being 300+ pounds at 9-12% bf. At my height this would be an impossible feat.

i dont know wat ur saying but even 10 min exposure to sunlight is enough for the vitamin p.s thts not the only source. also if u had severe vitamin d deficiency then it wouldve been obvious as the symptoms begin to occur which cant be ignored.
-
185 is gold standard. other than a couple of scandinavian countries that is considered very tall. at tht point its not even a thing

What are the symptoms? Nvm, looked it up.
Bone/Back pain - I've had horrendous back pain growing up absolutely horrible 8/10 pains. The bones in my legs have been hurting like a mofo for the last decade.
Depression - I've had some really nasty depression as well for the majority of my life its been kinda meh recently, but its become more of an apathetic meh.
Often tired or fatigued - Being incredibly tired has become my norm and it only seems to be getting worse while my sleep is getting better.
Slow healing - I thought my crazy healing was from me working out and eating right, but it seems I just went from one extreme to another.
Muscle pain - I've had tons of this, but might've just been because I wasn't the most active kid back then.
I've caught quite a few infections back in puberty and I do have high blood pressure. I'm also African American so we need more sun exposure on average anyway. You'd be surprised how horrible my parents were when it came to my nutrition and general needs. I got some testing done too and my doctor told me I was pretty deficient as well. My childhood was pretty horrible, my dad was abusive(I mean seriously abusive, throwing peeps down the stairs for pissing the bed tier abusive.) and my mom was pretty neglectful, but I don't blame her tho she tried her best even when things seemed hopeless.

To follow up on this my old man has another son with a different women and he's gone pretty try hard with him and he's pretty much guaranteed to be 6'2-6'3(last time I saw him he was 5'9-5'10 at 13ish and a doctor confirmed that this will most likely be the case going by his growth rate). It's definitely something that has me wondering, so I just try to avoid them altogether. Since I'm sure someone will ask, his mom isn't that much taller than mine she's about 5'5-5'6

That could be true. Just be sure you don't get locked into those thoughts. You can't change the past; you can change your future.

I'm passed most of this, when I was younger I was always pretty laid back even when things were going to hell. It must've been 2-3 years ago that everything kinda hit me pretty hard and it almost completely swallowed me whole. I'm just glad to be back to my meh days.

I think 6'1 is fine and at the upper end of desirable height for me. I note that guys about 6'1 are often over estimated as 6'4. But 6'4 is really tall - a colleague of mine is 6'4 and he drives a Van with the seats pushed way back. He can't drive normal cars and traveling by air is really uncomfortable - both getting in and out of the plane, and sitting during the ride with legs cramped for the entire journey. He is also constantly bumping his forehead getting through doors and needs a bed extension. Being really tall becomes impractical and I think 6'1 is a good upper limit. I note that even the dutch have stopped growing with an average height converging at 184cm (6ft).

then how do u think that can fixed by cll lol
-
I fixed most of these by changing my habits and improving my diet. I'm also okay with meh being my norm and I'll figure out the rest later. I never even considered CLL/LL when it came to fixing any of these issues. I just want LL to be a bigger dude while still being the best version of myself. The only difference is I'll be 10-11cm taller. Hopefully I won't experience any nasty side effects from the procedure and I can move on with my life. Now that I think about it I was probably enjoying life the most when I was going hard with my lifting about 1-2 year ago and I was mostly pain free.
-
gl with tht. i hope u can recompensate for the damage in ur early years. tho after cll height thing might be solved but there so much more than that. we stil need hardwork and dedication to bulk and cut and fix alot of crazy s going on
-
its not tall at all 6'3" is the start of tall for men 6'2" is borderline tall/notably above average/tallish 6'1" above average/very high average/ semi tall
-
even in the us thats not considered tall let alone very tall never heard that for someone below 6'2" maybe in asia thats why 6'1" is an attractive height because its above average/tallish without being tall or intimidating like 6'3"+
-
Way tall enough to not be on this god damn forum!
-
In my country Germany there are many guys 6'2 or 6'3. Especially the younger Generation.
I dont know what to do. LL is crazy
-
6 1 / 62

Hi!
What do you think about this height? Would you be happy with it?
I would like to have 6'2 (1.88m) is an emblematic height for me, I would be very happy at that time hahahaha

5'10 isnt bad unles ur from a tall country
-
Im 186 in the evening and I still felt tall when I visited Germany I even went to the tallest city which is hamburg . I doubt you are actually 185 barefoot in the evening if you feel short in Germany, I think youre more like 182 but claim 185
-

Doesn't really make sense to call 6'2'' "borderline tall" and 6'1'' "semi tall" and then say these heights are not tall at all. That's like saying you are rich with a net worth of 1 million but having 800,000 is "not rich at all".
-
1 million is rich but to be honest 999 999 is extremely poor!!! xD
-
188 cm at your lowest, barefoot, is the area where you will never feel short all around the world, even with younger guys, a friend of mine(but he is 6 ft 3) always was taller guy wherever we go in 95 % of the situations, there were guys taller than him but really rare

decent height? 185 is way above average in every country in Europe, even above average in Netherlands, actually it is way above average globally. I'm not surprised people in this forum have a completely wrong perception of height, it must be an obsession for many of you. To say that 185-188 is decent is madness, it is actually really tall.
-
In most countries of Europe at 6'2 you will be taller than 85-90 % of men if not more
in some, like in Asia or South America it might be higher
today internet disconnected us about what is tall by popularizing crazy ideas. But at 6'2 you are tall if not very tall. And above 6'7 (well, even less like 6'5/6) you will enter in the "giant category", making every people look at you in the street even in the tallest average countries
people who claim the contrary are just disconnected

totally agree with you, I have been working with 2 guys 1 was 6 ft 3 and another was 6 ft 6, and the last one was very tall, even in comparance to 6 ft 3 guy
-
I forgot how disconnected this thread was from reality. The worst part is that some people are shorter than me (AFAIK) and they think start of "tall" is way above where I'd put it.

If you're above 6'3 6'4 that means you are getting to giant height.
Only 3.2% of men in America are 6ft 2, I'm sure less than 1% are 6'3!
Your standards are you have to be a freak

It all depends on a your motivation and other factors. Generally for a well rounded individual sweet spot of height is between 178-185, depending upon where you are in the world. For example in Asia and southern Europe 178 is perfectly Average/tallish height so 178-180 is good enough and wont hold you back, however in certain scandinavian and Daneric alps probably one can aim for 181+.
IMO those who are aiming to go above and beyond these numbers generally has other insecurities and personality issues and they somehow believe that by growing TALL will compensate for those deficiencies :). Unfortunately it doesn't works like that in real life.

Just to put things into perspective, i come across a study done on a dating app and some of its latest findings which points to the 'motivation'; A horny bit** who is just looking to get laid in a club will ofcourse just look for a chad but a a sassy smart woman does not gives so much importance to height only. Dont get me wrong height is a factor but its not the be all and end all as some would here make it out to be.
I understand any such studies does not presents the whole demographics but it does nonetheless provides some valuable insight into latest trends and behaviours.

My suggestion is guys: don't do this surgery to get girls. I don't think much will change for you if you are >165, if you are 150 ok that's a bit of a problem but if you are reasonably short (165-175) that's not the main problem. Most girls are around 160/165 even in countries where average height is pretty high. If you are as tall as a girl or slightly shorter you can get her.
I am short and I got approached quite a lot in bars/clubs, at least once or twice every time I go out, yet of course if I was tall I would surely be approached 5 times more. But the difference here is not 0 to 100, this is a difference from 2 to 10, which means that with 2 is still possible, you just need to play it well, and go out a lot.
Honestly I don't think short stature is the problem to get girls, of course is more difficult but yet is possible (even with very attractive, slightly taller than you ladies), thing is: taller is way easier, and most importantly YOU feel better, which reflects as a boost in your confidence as well.
There are some limits of course, someone 165 needs a miracle to get a girl 180 for a relationship, the difference is huge. But beside these limits all the rest is possible.
If you are 165cm and NO ONE approach you and you CANNOT get a girl (not a fking supermodel, I'm talking about a decent to very good looking girl, 6,7,8) getting 178 won't change much in my opinion, the problem is somewhere else: a) you don't take care of yourself, b) you're face is really ugly, at this point might be a better option to get a nose-job, or c) you look creepy and not confident at all and they won't approach.
I seriously think some of you have problems, like people who ask if 190 is tall enough, man, you have a problem. Clearly not your height.

When I was 19 I was measured by the German army and had 185. Measuring now many years later I have 185 evening height and mornings 186,5. Still dont feel tall enough. When I wear high shoes with inlays I feel kind of tall.
-
pretty average. its common to see girls this tall nowadays
-
It's extremely tall to be honest , you'll definitely see very few people this tall in reality. Most men are all the same height with very little variation. Honestly,they seem to largely fall into the 5ft 7-5ft 11 range.
-
Getting measured by someone else is even a Doctor is notoriously innacurate best way to measure is by yourself against a wall using a flat object on your head and a pencil to write on wall.
Und was meinst du damit dass du nicht gross genug fuhlst ? Wenn du eigentlich 185 cm wärest in deutschland wärest du grösser als 80% der männer wenn das dir nicht reicht dann spinnst du, alter .
-
Ich korrigiere mich, wenn der körpergrösse durchnitt in deutscland 180 cm ist dann ein 185 cm man wäre grosser als 70% der männer das gilt immerhin als "gross"

It is average youth club height in Eastern Europe, so barely sufficient.
Only 3.2% of men in America are 6ft 2, I'm sure less than 1% are 6'3!
Shrunked old asians don't count.
Only thing that counts is YOUTH CLUB HEIGHT.
Aka go to your average hot club and see the heights there. THAT is your competition. Nobody cares that you height mog people at old person's home.
Stop coping. YOUTH is fking tall these days, not like they were 20 years ago.

Great argument, boyo. You convinced me I am wrong, because you called me a swear word.
-
185 is gold standard. other than a couple of scandinavian countries that is considered very tall. at tht point its not even a thing
I agree. When I wear lifts tho get me to 6'0, I feel taller than many. I feel like 1 extra inch would make the difference even more noticable.
-
I think my ideal height would be 6'1
-
Once you are 6'1 you want to have 6'2 or 6'3
-
In my opinion, 190-198 is ideal, but obviously, if I were 185-188, even 180-184, I wouldn’t know about the existence of this forum

I live in Germany, so you have lots of tall guys here...
