Subject: How tall are you?
Date Posted: April 07 2013 at 22:00
So it's come to my attention that I've hit 6'6". I was only 6'2" about 2 years ago so obviously I'm still growing steadily. I don't know why, but I find 6'6" to be a cool height.  How tall are the rest of you?
EDIT: Just realized I should add metric to these. Doing so now.
EDIT 2: Done. Round to the nearest I suppose. |

175 cm (5'9'') from feet bottom to head top but I'm more often sitting or laying down than standing up, so that's not really how tall I am but how long I am

Why is it impolite to point out to someone that he's short, but it's not impolite to point out to someone that he's tall? Just a thought. Being tall seems to give complete strangers the idea that they can just come up to me and ask how tall I am. Maybe, just maybe, I take offense to that. I don't, but what if I did? ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

Ture. I should have rather talked about the threads which looked like discussing serious matters. Now, I'm just waiting for a poll about the length of the forumites. Yes, this is what I'm talking about. |

Yeah. I used be around 170-175, but I got really sick for about a week recently. I couldn't even eat and lost a lot of weight in the process. And with my metabolism it's really tricky to gain back, heh. |

5'3'' and a bit, not quite 5'4''  I wanted somewhere between 5'5'' and 5'6'' but that would be miraculous as all my family are tiny. I'm one of the tallest.
