Being tall opens up doors that might not have been there before. But being tall does not mean you live life on easy mode. It's all about your personality. I would be lying if height didn't play a huge role in my life. Girls have outright told me that me being tall is incredibly attractive. Being looked up to at work by being tall and getting more responsibilities and clout. Being tall played an advantage in the sports I played.

Biggest drawbacks to being tall srs. Need to spend extra $$$ on larger condoms, finding good shoes since I'm a size 15 and all the good shoes stop at 13, finding socks that fit because most go up to 12/13 and the larger ones are much more expensive, some amusement park rides are a tight fit since I'm a bodybuilder and my chest like barely fits on some rides, people think I'm an idiot meathead since I lift and I'm tall when I'm actually extremely smart, lifting is a little tougher due to biomechanics of being taller, putting on weight is much harder than being a manlet, need to drink a lot to get drunk which gets expensive.

I know a guy who is 5'4"/5'5" and he is the most confident, most alpha dude I know. Dude never lets anyone steamroll him, quick on his feet, never backs down, and dates extremely attractive chicks.

Once you are one standard deviation down, i.e. 5'8 or so, it starts to matter IRL. I think 5'10 or 5'11 is probably adequate in real life outside of the most competitive environments. Can just claim 6'

Lol I remember as a child I had a best friend who was short and I always hated that I was tall. Once I got to middle school that went away. Glad I didn’t get my wish.
This body holding me, be my reminder here that I am not alone.

'Strong' for what a woman thinks is strong is a VERY low bar to cross. Any lanklet that lifts will easily reach it.

I am a lanklet with a smallish frame (6'3, currently 190 from cutting down from 210). Can bench 225 as a 1 rep max.

Despite this, I've had numerous girls compliment my size, pecs, biceps, 'look athletic', etc. When I was on dating apps would match with 90% of people I swiped on , frequently get hit on when i go out, etc.

Looking athletic is just as important as 'frame'

Being tall and lanky makes most lifts, making gains, etc. definitely harder. So it's nice to have that when I see 5'9 guys putting up far more weight lol

If you're tall you can even get away with slight chub and getting girls, especially if you have a nice face



Will say being tall is NOT the end all to getting chicks. It's just a force multiplier. If you are ugly, dont have game, out of shape, loser, dress like chit, etc. being tall is worthless 100%. But if you have your stuff in order it will basically open any door

5'10" here.

Sometimes I fantasize about being 6'6 with a girl under 5'. Mostly because BJ's would be easy on the knees for her(and thus more frequent).

women are absolutely relentless and ruthless about roasting manlets. If you are not 6'2 with shoes off, it's phucking over for you.

So I responded to a bunch of miscers but it wouldn't let me post for some reason, so the whole thing was lost. In short, ty brahs who commiserated for my earlier post.

It's just one of those things you can't change and have to learn to accept, like looks, dink, left or right handed, being cursed by being a member of the LTC etc, and I can honestly say I have a good life with lots of great friends (I was about to say that most are taller than me, but I can think of maybe only one guy friend who's shorter...huh) and so on. Would just be fcking ace to be 6'2 and check that box for girls, but hey, can't change it, no sense dwelling on it. Just gotta drink my milk, put on my big boy trousers, get on my tricycle and get on with my manlet life.

I am 5'11 at almost 20, I hope I grow some in the coming years.

Height matters, yea and it can contribute to your frame so much. My friend is 6'1 and Holy chit his fingers are like 2 inches longer than mine with broader shoulders, bigger feet. Mirin.

5 foot 6 and never have it affected my life srs. Ok sure if I was 6 ft +, I would love to be able to beat ppl up and be stronger in the gym ... plus more attention from women but it's your attitude that is important.
I would rather be 5 foot 6 and be me than be some1 else @ 6 foot with weird insecurities.
