Being taller than most girls is definitely a plus, I'll give you that but, damn, losing the height advantage against a younger sibling is bound to be rough. Luckily for me, I just have younger sisters, they're all way shorter than me and they have no chance of even coming close to my height. Same for my parents
Of all my hangups that height difference barely registers interestingly enough. What's really funny is that even though I'm balding and seven years his senior (while he's like a hairy neanderthal) we've been asked who is the younger one between the two. Almost made me feel bad for him and I can assure you I'm no baby face lol.

Literally 1.9% of people in this forum share my bracket, wtf. I'm 5'2. :/

But I'm also a girl. Hey, I'm as tall as Lady Gaga so I'm fine with it.

5'7" last I checked. Although "last I checked" was when I got my license 8 years ago. Give or take a couple of inches, then.

On the short side, but so are most people of my ethnicity. It only really becomes apparent when I go somewhere with a high population of other races.

6'4"... 193cm.

I used to be able to dunk a basketball, but no longer. When I was ~24-28 or so, that was my peak in leaping ability. Then I slowly got older, fatter, and I can't dunk. Back when I was hitting 29, 30, etc., I used to take a note in Google Calendar... "I dunked a basketball today" to record the last day I could do it, because I could tell I Was losing that ability. That day was Sunday, August 17, 2014.

So many 6 foot + folk here, and yet folks still think it's cool to recline their seats on planes.

Think of those of us burdened with long legs.

As a person who is 6'4", I testify that I think people who complain about seat recliners are being hyperbolic and stupid, woe-is-me entitled complainers. I barely fit into economy airline seats, but someone reclining in front of me has almost no tangible effect on my sitting comfort. I have long legs and high knees, too. I believe that if you're tall like me and people reclining is a real negative in your life, where yo uthink it should be banned or people shouldn't do it, then you should pay for extra legroom seats or reserve rows in the front of the plane.

I'm guessing a lot of the 6 foot in here are 5'10, I'm right at 6'3 a little over in shoes a tad under barefoot.

I'm 6'1" almost 6'2" but it sounds funny to say "almost six foot 2".

I mean I'm close enough that every time I get measured it varies. One Dr. will put me at six one, the next will list me as six two haha

185cm or barely 6' 1. Slightly above average for resetera, but a tad short compared to others. I hit my growth spurt fast and hate that it stopped just as quickly, I wish I was a 190cm god.

5'2", which while short for a woman, makes flying not a pain for me compared to the giants in this thread.

Lol Wait what? How does that work? Does he have some gray hairs or a thick beard or an even older looking face or something? That's honestly pretty interesting as 7 years is a pretty huge gap

I'm 5'7" and I've been this same height since 6th grade. I wish I were a little bit taller. :/

I'm a girl, though, so I don't know where that places me compared to the average.

My company went through a hiring binge of fresh out of college or few years beyond and they all seem shorter.. Not sure if its just cause or what... We had a guy who just transferred out that was 6'8" now that he's gone I can feel tall again...

I'm 5-9 and 1/4 though I feel like I just might be 5-10 if I didn't have scoliosis. I wouldn't like to be 6+ because it actually looks like a hassle being that tall.
