If you go with a bus on the first date, second date probably is not gonna happen.

Humans are always striving for something greater - that's the way they are. Place them in a 10ftx10ft room and they'll want to have more room. 100ftx100ft and still more... Give them the entire world and they want the Universe.

The problem lies with your head, not with your height.

Fortunately for me i am 6'2 and now happily married, my point was how would bernie ecclestone get a first date if not for his bank balance?

There was a professional soccer player called peter crouch, not the best looking guy, though very tall, and he was asked "what would he be if not a professional soccer player?" His answer was "a virgin!"

I'm happy with my 178cm. Good looking face + green/blue eyes and the world is yours, hehe. I wouldn't change that for a taller body.

You didnt get my point. %90 of girls look for money. I look only the %10 part.

And haha that crouch quote is good. I remember he did an incredible back side overhead goal to my team Galatasaray in past probably the best goal in his career;

Height is irrelevant.

Taller people die younger anyways!

Just kidding - although there is a bit of truth to that statement. The bigger your body, the easier it's going to wear down over time.

Maybe you'll be 6'10" in your next life

There is much truth to this. Having a larger body amplifies any negative lifestyle choices. Every additional kilogram of body weight we add requires our body to build almost 3 kilometers of blood vessels, mostly tiny and weak capillaries that will be overworked. Joints require constant rebuilding with minerals and metals, and a larger body requires a lot of them. If we can't resupply due to a bad diet, our joints will suffer tremendously if we are taller/weigh more.
Exorbitant muscle growth and bodybuilding can also put too much strain on weak muscles and tissue, for example, hernia ruptures.

What's a tall and well-built body worth if you die at 45 from a cardiac issue? So, take good care friends.

Yes it is but if you're a manlet you cannot do much about this fact and are more or less fucked over by it. Sad thing.

lol now it turned to "tall people live shorter", well, who wants to live after 80 years ? personally I dont. Have you ever think to live without your ..... wake up ? What about you cant poop yourself and other person helps you to poop when you are at 80 years ?

OP did you spend too much time on an incel forum/blog?

I am 6'3" and it has only brought me grief my entire life so far. I live in a country where the average height for males is 5'7" (which has actually increased from 5'5" in the 80s). So, everything in the country is catered to that. I can't sit in bus and train seats (without folding myself like a pretzel). If I choose to stand in the bus, my head scrapes the ceiling, not to mention the numerous knocks I get on my head when the bus moves on our bumpy roads.

When I walk into a shoe store, I can't always expect to get my size. Clothes are a nightmare because my size is 'never in stock' always. Well, they say they are out of stock but I know that they don't even stock my size because it won't sell. I never had a correct fitting pair of jeans throughout my teenage years.....NEVER. I always had to alter the jeans to fit me. Things are a little better now in the past 4-5 years because people of my country are getting taller. Scientists think that's because our genes are getting adapted to ......well, nutritious food, which was never available to our forefathers, who managed to eke out a living on 2 meals per day, for 350 years.

People decide that I am best suited to play basketball. Apparently, all tall people in my country are expected to join a basketball coaching academy, their personal preferences in sports are immaterial. When I did join an academy, I was happy because all others were well over 6'6" and I was the runt there.....(I found guilty pleasure in those people's misery because I knew they had it even more tougher than my 6'3" existence).

I cannot drive a hatchback. Hatches in my country are designed for people with smaller legs. I have to fold my legs backwards to enter the driver's seat....can't drive. So, I've always had to buy bigger (costlier) cars, despite having to go into heavy debt because I just couldn't drive a smaller one.

I am always the one who gets called as 'help' for heavy lifting. Apparently, I need to put my big muscles and bones to good use. My choice in that matter is of no significance. If I'm around, people just expect me to do the heavy lifting, they don't ask me, just tell me....

My miseries did not end even when I traveled abroad (to south Asian countries). Well, those countries are adapted to a 5'5" existence !

Well, I have to add this bit too....my height did give me an advantage where it mattered.....I never had trouble with ..... let's say, attracting the opposite sex? Apparently, size does matter after all......

Well I am medium size ( 1.70) but I find my super king bed better because of that.

See the bright side mate.
Short or tall we all have ups and downs.

dont worry when you get older you will realize that your height does not mean anything .
Napoleon was 5'6 and crowned himself emperor at 25

I'm 6'1...........' around the waist....

You can't change your height, so why let it bother you?
I'm 5'4 (165) and always loved it. I'm always the shortest (and most handsome) guy in the room.
