How Tall Are You?

[Pablo Rafael]

Since Jennifer got some interesting responses from the "How Old Are You? thread" I thought I would see what we get from this one. I had thought of having a "How Much do You Weigh" thread, but thought better of it. (A person sleeps better a night if he doesn't know some things.)

Tu Amigo, Pablo

I guess I should start. I'm 6' 3".
And it's all lean muscle too. (I say that with all humility.):cool:

[BrentRichards]

5'11" - all carbon-based

[u-dog]

I'm 6'4" ! (Tall for a dog, I know) Is it too late to add a poll to this thread? 253 pounds but heading to 220! (by thanksgiving)

[Pablo Rafael]

You posted before I got the poll put together.
I realized too late that my 2nd last category is one unit larger than the others. It should be 6' 3 to 6' 5". I wonder how to fix that?

Pablo

[andrewlittle]

I am 5'11" and a svelt 205lbs. Okay, not so svelt, but within reasonable limits for a fat old man. Alright damnit, not svelt at all. No need to rub it in.

What do you mean sensitive?

[Dash]

6'2", but my ego is 6'7"

[sjbouza]

I am a generous 6' 2". A whole inch shorter than my boyfriend. He hates it soooo much too!!!!:rolleyes: :lol: As far as the weight, yea you would sleep better at night not knowing. :eek:

[Zerbie]

I'm with Dash - my ego is way taller than the rest of me! :lol:

I stand at 5'7". I had hoped for a more majestic physical presence.

[andrewlittle]

we're still talking about height - right?

[sjbouza]

we're still talking about height - right?

Yes we are talking about height in that statement. We wont go to the other place :eek: :unhappy:

[u-dog]

I'm with Dash - my ego is way taller than the rest of me! :lol:

I stand at 5'7". I had hoped for a more majestic physical presence.

I don't care how tall you are Zerbinski! You ARE majestic and your gracious presence FILLS cyberspace !!:love:

[dsdrane]

Darling...I, too, am 6'-3"!

Can there be left any doubt???

[Jennifer5]

:lol: Alright, I'll just ignore the other remarks for this second to say that I'm 5' 1"... yes, I know, probably the shortest one here :love: But wow, we have a lot of tall guys here! (although, I do consider anything 6' 2" and up tall, others may disagree)

Alright now... boys, I think if we're going to talk about this, that would be a different thread all together.... although probably also very frowned upon and considered very :lol:

[ladyinred]

5'6" And I have brothers who tower over me.(Yes, if you must ask, it was hell being the only girl with those brothers,LOL)

[RM260boy]

a, to me, very average 5'9", but 69" sounds so much taller:D

[dsdrane]

This reminds me of a phenomenon that occurred in my last year of architecture school. Cesar Pelli (a.k.a. Mr. Skyscraper) ran a studio called "Tall Buildings", in which, not surprisingly, we were to design a skyscraper ostensibly for the proposed 2012 Olympic Games in NYC.

I can't remember exactly, but I guess there were probably 10 of us in the studio. Not only was there only one woman (which would not be weird for architecture as a profession, but was weird given my school's policy of a parity between the sexes in each entering class), but there was only one guy under 6'-0". Even Cesar is over 6'-0".

Tall buildings designed by tall guys. :lol:

The rest of the school thought it was hilarious.

Attached is a recent picture of me and Mr. Skyscraper when he was in my neck of the woods for the opening of his performing arts center in Miami. He's a big sweetiepants!

[keltic63]

at 5'7" I am NEVER attending a soulforce get-together just so I can be the token short guy.

[Pablo Rafael]

Steve, Don't feel bad about it; it's not your fault. We are a "tolerant" group. You are welcome here. Just as long as you don't do any "short" things.

Tu Amigo, Pablo

[Britt.]

4'18" here.

[Daniel]

Darling...I, too, am 6'-3"!

Can there be left any doubt???

Get a room for Christ's Sake! :lol: :love: :love: :love:

(I've soooo wanted to say that for awhile....just for the fun of it.)

I'm 6' 1" and hubby is 6' 4". And I'm using his computer to post at the moment. Mine is going in the shop...so I may not be around here all that much for the next 7 to 10 days to tell tall tales.

Weight hovering around 160.

Andy! How shocking!

;)

[Jennifer5]

at 5'7" I am NEVER attending a soulforce get-together just so I can be the token short guy.
Perhaps amongst the guys... but you always have me, I make everyone feel tall :D

4'18" here.
5' 6" .... I thought you were taller for some reason (:confused:)... Oh well, better that way... you wouldn't tower over me as much! :cool:


The one that was a joke, was getting to meet Corey... the height difference was insane, with him at 6' 5" and me at 5' 1".... it felt like I only came up to his waist..:love:

[andrewlittle]

at 5'7" I am NEVER attending a soulforce get-together just so I can be the token short guy.

If the question were asked in the same way UPS measures packages, the answers would be different.

I've seen pictures, Steve, and if our shoulder width were added to our height, you'd be taking the trophy home, I think.

In my case, the addition for shoulder width would run dangerously close to a subtraction. Sigh.

[Jennifer5]

Get a room for Christ's Sake! :lol: :love: :love: :love:
NO KIDDING :lol:

...so I may not be around here all that much for the next 7 to 10 days to tell tall tales. Umm.... what? that can't happen!!! What will we do without you Daniel? :(

I can't tell you how hard it is trying to find a shirt that fits! sleeves are always too short, and if I find sleeves that fit, the tail is too long.


and this tolerance of which you speak: my existance is not up for debate. tolerance suggests that I am somehow "less" than the rest of you. I do not need to justify my altitude to any of you!

Man, I think for a lot of people, in some way or another, it's nearly impossible to find clothes that actually fit.:love:

[BrentRichards]

6'2", but my ego is 6'7"

That's funny, I'm 5'11" but my hair is only 5'10"!

[BrianB]

at 5'7" I am NEVER attending a soulforce get-together just so I can be the token short guy.

You wouldn't be the shortest guy. I'm 5'5". Good things come in small packages. :D :o

[BrentRichards]

Steve, Don't feel bad about it; it's not your fault. We are a "tolerant" group. You are welcome here. Just as long as you don't do any "short" things.

Tu Amigo, Pablo

That's right, people are welcome to be short, as long as they do it in private and don't make a scene about it.

[nmwolfboy]

5'11" here. Weight...let's not even go there. :D

[keltic63]

That's right, people are welcome to be short, as long as they do it in private and don't make a scene about it.

you're getting dangerously close to talking about the "short lifestyle" I'll remind you that we have guidelines here!

[BrentRichards]

you're getting dangerously close to talking about the "short lifestyle" I'll remind you that we have guidelines here!

Jeesh, why are YOU PEOPLE so touchy? Besides, height is a choice. I'm an ex-short, you know? I grew out of it.

[BrentRichards]

Man, I'm getting punchy. It must be time for lunch.

[Jennifer5]

You wouldn't be the shortest guy. I'm 5'5". Good things come in small packages. :D :o
I agree :D

you're getting dangerously close to talking about the "short lifestyle" I'll remind you that we have guidelines here!

:( But we all have so much fun with inappropriate humor :lol: .... although, on the other hand I have an excuse... I've just at that age where everything is funny and everything sounds inappropriate... but al of you :rolleyes:, my wonderful roll-models.. you're grown men :lol:

...although I must say, this immaturity is just one more reason why I love you all:love:

[tpdncr4christ]

5'11'' and 137 pounds. 5.2% body fat. <3 I'm all muscle

[BrianB]

Jeesh, why are YOU PEOPLE so touchy? Besides, height is a choice. I'm an ex-short, you know? I grew out of it.

What about your inappropriate displays of tallness? What you do in the privacy of your own home is fine. No one has to see it. I don't know why you have to flaunt your tallness in public. :rolleyes: :)

[BrentRichards]

Fair enough. But to be fair, I'm only a 3 on the Kinsey tallness scale.

[Britt.]

Jennifer5: 5' 6" .... I thought you were taller for some reason ()... Oh well, better that way... you wouldn't tower over me as much!

I may be small, but I can always come up w/ a way to tower over people :p Plus, I can wear heals & be 4'21".

Keltic63: I can't tell you how hard it is trying to find a shirt that fits! sleeves are always too short, and if I find sleeves that fit, the tail is too long.

The men's department isn't cake for smaller people either. I spend 10 minutes flipping through all the L, XL, XXL, etc. before finding anything, & can't find men's shoes at Kohl's. It's obviously a conspiracy to starve us out of existence, but it won't work. I know what you people are up to.

Really though, I like tall people. It's way funnier when they trip on things, & fall down.

[tdogg]

This dogg is right at 5' 5", although normally I'm in heels so 5' 8". And when I'm on my horse, well I rise to well above 7'.

Tomorrow PM I'll be on a plane to So Cal - so could I say that I would be approximately 33,005.5 feet tall??

Sometimes, when I wake up and I'm not ready to be up yet (wait, that's EVERY morning!) I can barely top 5'2"..... :p ;)

[Vanessa White]

I am 5'3", 5'31/2" when I am really wanting to be taller. And, I hardly ever wear heels, or ride horses, so not many ways to feel taller than I am. My daughter will be taller than me within another year or two I am afraid. Weight will not be discussed, and if a thread survey is started about that topic I will not participate thank you very much!!! I am wondering how soon I can expect to start shrinking, I hope I can hold onto what I have just a bit longer.

Short people rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :love:

[Casey]

SHORT PEOPLE DO RULE!! i am 5'2" and prooooooooooooud of it! :D

[d_pedr]

Pablo

I'm 6'2" and about 210 pounds

d_pedr

[Casey]

5' 2" and 110!! yayayayay! actually no, its not yay, because my friends actually look over my head and dont even see me! so depreeeeessing!! :p

[paul]

I'm 6'6", 180 pounds.

[Casey]

Ok! how the heck does everyone get the tall gene??? :p

[paul]

It's a funny thing Casey. I thought for sure I'd stopped growing at 6'5", then I went to the doctor at 21 and had grown an inch. soooo, you may not be done yet:D

[Casey]

Wooo! I might be... five THREE someday!! :p

[Jennifer5]

Ok! how the heck does everyone get the tall gene??? :p

I think it's a guy thing... for the most part at least, the women don't seem to be so tall.

[Casey]

I'm beginning to see that being a guy, might have advantages that girls dont... sad, sad... :rolleyes:

[Jennifer5]

Really? I like being short.

[Casey]

I really does help when you're trying to escape and can duck under people's arms at school, i have to admit!

[Jennifer5]

Yeah, I've worked myself to the front of crowds because people didn't realize I was there.

[Casey]

My most favorite part is being able to cuddle under your love's chin... :love:

[Jennifer5]

My most favorite part is being able to cuddle under your love's chin... :love:

I like with guys, when I hug them, I usually have to wrap my arms around their waist... but with girls just hug them... I think it's neat that it's different like that.. idk why

[Casey]

its ok that you think its good its different! I can see your point, but im a complete cuddle-bug, so i'll find i way to snuggle no matter what it takes! :D

[Jennifer5]

its ok that you think its good its different! I can see your point, but im a complete cuddle-bug, so i'll find i way to snuggle no matter what it takes! :D

Same.... but I like the difference.:love:

[Casey]

Oh! But i DO like when you are the same height as someone and when you hug, your cheeks touch!

[Jennifer5]

Oh! But i DO like when you are the same height as someone and when you hug, your cheeks touch!

See, that doesn't really do anything for me...

[u-dog]

See, that doesn't really do anything for me...


You haven't found the right person to hug yet! when you do? :rolleyes:

I hug Polly on the stairs... two steps down from her. works out great!

[Jennifer5]

You haven't found the right person to hug yet! when you do? :rolleyes:

I hug Polly on the stairs... two steps down from her. works out great!

I'm sure you're right about that.

[Casey]

Yeah, i dont think it matters too much about the actual hug (even if youre me :p) it really is about who youre hugging... :love:

[Jennifer5]

Yeah, i dont think it matters too much about the actual hug (even if youre me :p) it really is about who youre hugging... :love:

Definately... if you feel safe and comforted.... then its the right person(s).

[Vanessa White]

I had to go to the doctor for a well checkup today, and I think that I shrunk!!! Talk about depressing, I already voted on this thread, and I think that i am a 1/2 inch shorter than when I voted!! My actual height according to the doctor's office now falls between two categories.....

I DONT WANT TO START SHRINKING YET!!!!!! I REALLY CAN'T AFFORD TO SHRINK THAT MUCH, I AM ALREADY SHORT. :lol::love:

What else can you ever hope for? :love:

[Vanessa White]

I probably voted as 5'3", although I have even measured at 5'31/2" at times in my life. Today, I was 5'21/2", and I was standing up straight and everything!!! :(

[Casey]

But isnt there a song about 5' 2"? "Five foot two, eyes of blue" Yay! I fit the profile!

[Jennifer5]

:lol: yeah... I think 5'2" is good... I'm only 5'1" but I'm happy with it.

[sailaway58]

We can mess around on a different thread though.



nah, see the little rolling laughing guy? that's me, you actually gave me a giggle fit.

[Jennifer5]

Awe, you get giggle fits like a little schoolgirl.

...oh, wait... I'm a little school girl, I better be careful.:rolleyes:

[Casey]

Sry sry! didnt mean to get off topic!

I know we have a lot of little people! *ahem* and lots of tall ones, but what about the middle heighters??

[Jennifer5]

Sry sry! didnt mean to get off topic!

What do you call a middle heighter??

Well, yeah... but what is it?:inspector:

How tall is Dave?

I think he's 5' 12"

That is boring.



Although, I can't pick on him to much... I think that's how tall my brother is too.

i really didnt know what to say to that last comment... with all the little arrows... i kinda sat there and blinked a few times at my computer screen.. ha!

[Casey]

Aw! its not stupid! its actually funny now! but im one of those people that really dont get jokes until five minutes after someone tells them... :D

[matthewspeed]

5' 11" here. Haven't weighed my self in years. For me, it's sac religious to have a scale in the house! I always seem to hover around the "10 lb" rollercoaster!

[matthewspeed]

5' 11" here. Will never have a scale in the house- It's "sac religious!" I always seem to be in that "10 lb" roller coaster ride!

[matthewspeed]

Guess your right Jennifer, not short, but not too tall. I think 5'10" is average for men. I could be wrong.

I just realized, I sent my message twice! What was I thinking?

[tymejumper]

I'm with Dash - my ego is way taller than the rest of me! :lol:

I stand at 5'7". I had hoped for a more majestic physical presence.



I'm just 5'5 and 1/2. I am not petite at 5'3 and not tall at 5'7. I used to be a WHOLE 1/4 taller, but after 25 you actually start to shrink.

If you shrink more than a 1/2 an inch, get assessed for Osteoperosis because that is what it usually means. 1/2 inch is pretty standard actually, it's the compression of vertebra disk. It gets compressed over your life and absorbs less shock, hence, you hurt your back easier with jolting force than when you were younger. It also gets compressed over the day, so Zerbie, if you want to have a taller physical presence, get measured in the morning(you are tallest then).

This service announcement brought to you by your friendly, queer rehab therapist!:lol::lol::lol:

[TigerXero]

at 5'7" I am NEVER attending a soulforce get-together just so I can be the token short guy.

It's okay! We'll just keep you around tall people, then everyone will remember you as the token short guy. Anywa,y I'm 5'8", and my bf was too for the first year we dated, but now he's trying to get to 5'9" and making me sad in the process, lol. For my weight, I am a sexy 130-135 and have never surpassed that :eek::p:love::D:lol:!

[TigerXero]

AND... you are what? 20 years old? Beware your 30th birthday... thats all I have to say. On your 30th birthday your metabolism slams on the brakes and all those cheeseburgers begin to catch up with you. Enjoy your skinny youthfulness while you can!! :lol:

(and tell us all about it so that we old coots can enjoy it vicariously!!)

Nope, just 19. AND... yes, I am aware of the 30 year metabolism issue. My dad and all my uncles encountered it. However, two uncles had parts of their stomachs removed for some medical issues, and they look healthy thin (which I assume I could achieve just by eating less when I get to their age). In fact, one of them is 60 but all my friends think he is 30 (and he's gay too), so hopefully I can pull that off if I got those genes. ;)

[capeguy74]

I'm 6'2". Sounds like I'd actually be in the middle of the road if all of us were to be put together in a room. For my part, I like being able to see over others in a room or in a crowd. And no, I don't look down on anyone for being short! (Well, I have to look down, but ... erm ... well ... ok ... I'll stop there!) :lol:

Jason

[Zerbie]

I'm jealous of all you slower metabolites.

I'm still waiting for the 30th Birthday Metabolic slowing. Why is this a problem you may ask?

Imagine needing to eat a complete meal every 3 waking hours, even if you're in the middle of class or the middle of work. That's why. :p Well, actually, I HAVE been a LITTLE less hungry since my birthday. :p But alas, I inherited my dad's furious metabolism. His 30th Birthday SlowDown didn't hit til he was 65. Now, he has a little belly roll. :rolleyes:

:p Hubby says I eat 5 times as much food as he does - and I think he's right. He doesn't eat very much.

[antiochian]

Since Jennifer got some interesting responses from the "How Old Are You? thread" I thought I would see what we get from this one. I had thought of having a "How Much do You Weigh" thread, but thought better of it. (A person sleeps better a night if he doesn't know some things.)

Tu Amigo, Pablo

I guess I should start. I'm 6' 3".
And it's all lean muscle too. (I say that with all humility.):cool:

Ask me how much I weigh, and feel my purse smack your face!!! :p

J/K I'd never do that... :D

[Pablo Rafael]

Ask me how much I weigh, and feel my purse smack your face!!!

Well, it wouldn't be the FIRST time that has happened.
