    Im 5"11/ 1.80 cm. Its not too tall, not too small about the average for a guy so Im happy enough with that, although Id prefer to be maybe an inch or two taller. We all know size matters but what about height?,Are you happy with your height or is it a big deal and what would your ideal height be?

    I'm just a shade under 6'1"
    I'm happy enough.
    Wouldn't mind an extra few inches.................but then who wouldn't!! Amirite??!!

    I'm almost 6ft :(

    I'd love to be 5'2''. I love big tall guys, if I was 5'2'' and he was 6'2'' that would be amazing. He could throw me around to place and he'd have to bend down to kiss me.

    Only one guy has ever had to bend down to kiss me. He was 6'4'' and you don't see that every day :(

    I'm 6 foot. don't think I'd change it for the world ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,390 ✭✭✭The Big Red Button


    I'm five foot four and three quarters! :cool:

    Pretty average for a girl I'd say. Wouldn't mind being a wee bit taller, so I could reach more stuff high up!

    Just walk around on your knees.

    I'm 6ft 2" and pretty happy with it tbh. I like being tall.

    When it said ideal height I thought you meant ideal height in a partner!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,293 ✭✭✭1ZRed


    I'm 6ft. I'd say my ideal height would be 6'2 but I'm happy enough with what I have.
    I'm still growing pretty fast as it is though so hopefully I might just scrape it!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,428 ✭✭✭Talib Fiasco


    I'm 6'0. I'd like to be 6'1. Anything more would be too awkward and considering I can't seem to put on weight I'll only end up with the figure of Ryan Tubridy.

    I'm asked at least once a week to reach something for a small person :)

    6ft 3 and skinny, any taller and I'm in Peter Crouch land so I'm good thanks.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,701 ✭✭✭✭Tigger


    I'm 6'2 and a slim 17 6
    If I was 6'4 and 18 I'd be delighted but as it is I'm defiantly bigger than most


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,184 ✭✭✭marshbaboon


    I'm 6'4 and I can't remember the last time I weighed myself. A bit under 16 stone now I reckon. Slightly overweight atm but I'm burning it fast on a good diet & exercise plan.

    Reckon if I cut 5% body fat I'll be at my ideal weight, shouldn't take long. I like my height as it is, so do girls... sometimes!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 653 ✭✭✭girl in the striped socks


    I'm small. Five foot four.
    I'm usually the girl who's forehead hits your elbow trying to make my way to the bar.

    I can't reccomend stronglifts 5x5 enough for you

    6'5.5 and 13.5 stone... Mr. Beanpole


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,093 ✭✭✭markc1184


    I'm 5'10. I'd like to be a couple of inches taller but probably best that I'm not bacause my girlfriend is only 5'3.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,389 ✭✭✭mattjack


    I'm 5 foot nine , perfect height for mrs Mattjack when she throws a hook at me..........she's 5 foot 3.

    I'm surprised I haven't developed a hunch at this stage. I usually find myself going out with tiny girls... I look like their minder...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,478 ✭✭✭wexie


    I'm 6'5 and I'm pretty happy with it most of the time.

    Except when it's trouser buying time.

    (and for the girls that like tall guys, I'm only just above average in Holland)

    oh and just over 12.5 stone.

    I respond to lanky git (not always well though)

    Hmmm..the taller lads are getting all the attention. Better buy a load of HGH online and get started on reaching my goal while I'm still growing if that's the case! :D

    Don't have weights or a bag where I'm living now so I have to do it old school.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,455 ✭✭✭Where To


    I'm 11 feet tall on my high horse.

    Would love to be a foot taller.

    Likewise. Have no idea why, but I would say the majority of women I've been with have been under 5'7" or so.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,562 ✭✭✭✭Sunnyisland

    I'm 6'4" and somtimes it would be nice to be 5'11"- hard on the back when working, good most of the time though. I've one lad works for me who's 6'7" - that's a bit much but he's good for reaching stuff(he's also built like the proverbial brick s-house). Another lad I employ is literally 5' wide, his arms are like my legs, but he does a few hours in the gym every day- that I'd like, absolutely no-one even argues with him, ever. You just take one look and go "naah". I'm no weed, I'm 100kg, but I feel like a stick when I walk beside him.:D
