I just had a sad thought that there's probably lots of extremely small babies born elsewhere in the world

being incredibly average is awesome imo

Yeah I used to think that too, I have seen the other side and it is fantastic.

I thought this thread was going to be about those guys who walked around in Bramlage on stilts.

Tall people die younger. That's a fact Jack.

Since they experience triple the life of that of a normal height person, I believe this is ok.

CF3 (that's me!) was the tallest kid in his grade from kindergarten to 4th grade. Around 5th grade a few other A-Holes caught up. By 6th grade, I was just maybe above average and as tall as I stand before you here today on this blog. Lil' CF3 is following a similar pattern, but I expect he'll fall short of 6' just like I did.

six foot seems ideal. any taller and you are just getting in the way and much shorter and it would be harder to be good at sport things.

There are a bunch, but what about those guys in Africa?  the Watusi?  They're all like 7 feet tall. 
And I'm not talking stacked on one another's shoulders -- 7 feet of pure Watusi.

i'm really tall.  it was cool for playing sports and picking up hotties for sport boning sure, but now i find it just a giant PITA as i get older.  I'm surely gonna have back problems bending over all the time to pick up crap.  I think 6'2 would be ideal.

i was slam jamming at 16 with a mens ball so eat your heart out wackyfancatman

Yeah, I wasn't going to say anything but wacky's dunking story seemed kind of weak.

Well, I have no hops. I did finally dunk a real mens ball in college, but it was one handed.

just think how much better you could have been if you weren't so unbelievably short.

[Spracne]

6", here.  I'd say that's about average, and I'm ok with that.

Oh man, fellow 5'7"er here.  My doubles partner (6'2" ish) and I took 5th in state tennis our senior year.  If I had known I was holding him back with my sub standard height I would have offered to let him find a taller and better partner.  I may have cost my buddy a state championship.

Probably good enough to get scholarship offers more enticing than in-state tuition at K-State as opposed to a slight discount to Jewell, Benedictine, Bethel, et al, to play ball.

You could have gotten a full ride at Friends with your shrimpy height and probably only one leg.

See guys it didn't hold me back.  Also flying is a joy. 

[TownieCat]

Wow, I didn't realize how many other elite 5'7ers were on this board!

I've never had an issue flying, buying clothes, fitting into a desk, or working my way through a crowd. No back or knee problems to speak of either. Man, being an average height is pretty great! I'd hate to be one of those freaks that are too tall to properly function.

[meow meow]

one of the worst things about being tall is being called a freak. 

[Asteriskhead]

I'm pretty fond of 5'9". I'm comfortable there.

But to your back and quietly.

6'2" at 14, 6'2" today. Hope Fedor jr doesn't stop growing soon if he wants to play sports in college, but hope he stops fairly soon otherwise.
