When I was a teenager there were so many fewer people of my height around (I was this tall at 13). These days they are everywhere.

Not sure 6'5/6'6 is abnormally tall these days.

I wouldnt say its life on easy mode... thats reserved for women.

But Im pretty sure Ive gotten bangs and jobs only due to my height.

Such is the life of the tall alpha.

I think guys are getting taller. I'm 186cm and that was considered tall-ish 20 years ago but I'm a shorty around here!

Guys are getting taller.

I am 6 foot one and feel totally average around young people and my friends.

As for the effects of being tall. A friend of mine is 6 foot 7. And I was once a party trying to chat to a chick he was talking to.

Yikes.

I now know how ugly women feel!

Apparently in Europe I would feel even shorter:

Socialized Medicine Making Europeans Taller than Americans

Quote:The average Dutchman, whose country produces the Continent's loftiest men, is now more than six feet tall - almost two inches above his American counterpart. And he is still growing. Across the Netherlands hotel owners are lengthening beds and raising door mantles to stop the nation's tall youth suffering from irreparable anatomical damage.

According to a New Yorker essay on the subject last week, Dutch ambulances are even having to keep their back doors open on many occasions to allow for the prodigious dimensions of their patients' legs.

New research has shown some unexpected disparities between statures of Americans and Europeans, indicating that recent social changes and diet are major influences on adult height.

For British men, too, are outstripping their transatlantic rivals. At the time of the American Revolution, the average US male was two inches taller than his British counterpart. Today he is almost half an inch shorter.

When I was in Europe, I had people come up to me asking for my autograph because they thought I was a professional basketball player. They had no idea who I was, just the preconceived notion that height equals NBA haha. Used that quite a few times when I was in Spain.

5'10. I wish I could be 6'4 or 6'5, but it ain't gonna happen.

That may not happen, but you found this forum EARLY in life !

Welcome to the red pill life !

I'm 5'10 and 260 pounds.

6'3, 220 pounds.

I've always been tall, but it never helped me at all until I started packing on the muscle. Back when I weighed 170lbs I was the gawky awkward one, which is never a good look. Now that I'm tall AND big it's a huge part of building initial attraction for me
