    Question How do you feel about your height?

    If you could chose your height...what would you change and by how much? (maybe nothing)

    I've come to realize that I'm my height and it aint going to change

    So I'm quite happy with it... no reason to be unhappy with something that cant be changed and you're quite content with anyhow.

    I'll just have to make myself wider to make up for my height

    ...and just for fun if you vote that you'd change your height if you somehow magically could - tell us how tall you are and how tall you'd want to be.

    Wow, what a great question. I said that I'd like to be a bit taller because I'm 6'1" and always thought 6'3" would be a good height. I don't even have a clue why I think that would be a good height. I guess it's the old cliche about the grass being greener. Then I stop and realize, if I got my wish and was suddenly 6'3" I wouldn't be satisfied and would then want to be 6'5", and so on, and so on, and.......................Oh well, I guess I'll just have to be satisfied with being a stud.
    Rules? You mean we have RULES for that???

    i have mixed feelings...
    right now i am almost 6'1"
    im 16, so im still growing, i hope to reach 6'3" or at least close
    The reason i want to be tall is to be just kind of menacing i guess :P

    But if i were shorter, than i could do better in powerlifting, b/c i would be in a lower weight class...but i wont be in highschool for that much longer anyway so oh well

    taller it is

    Why would you wanna be taller? To reach the cookie jar? Be better at sports?

    And whats the deal with most women likeing tall guys? Always wondered.

    27 and climbing. 10 foot tall and bullet proof is an American expression kind of hinting at invincibilty. When I was 18 I never got sick, could lift 7 days a week, ate 3rds and 4ths at every meal and never had joint pains. Now I feel like an old man, I've lived a rough life. High School football, Navy S.E.A.L training killed my knees, too much partying killed the mind, video killed the radio star, computer screen killed my eyes, who killed JR?, martial arts/boxing killed my wrist, fingers and elbows.

    I chose 10', but I wouldn't want my unit to grow proportionate to that, I mean it's useless after it gets so big, so I must say I am 5'11.5" now and wouldn't mind that last half so I could say I'm 6'0"

    haha, im the only one who wished he was shorter.

    I'm 6'5"... and while its nice being tall, it has its downsides. Clothes, for one. Almost everything is too short. Shirts are a bitch to find. Cars, too. I dont fit in anything sporty.
