Most everyone is shorter than I am around me (I am 6'3") and we joke around a little about it but its just that...jokes...a persons height doesn't define who they are or how they should be treated and in very few cases does anyone even take that into account when dealing with a person.

I dunno seems a really expensive option for a self esteem issue.
:werd:

I am a little over 6'1" and there are days I wish I was shorter because I can't fit into a lot of cars.

actually as sad as it is there was a study done, and it found that taller men tend to get the promotions over their shorter coworkers. they say that its percieved that people tend to view taller people as leaders and they tend to want to advance them to fit that need. I read it on msn.com a couple of months ago, it was an intresting article. although I don't agree with it.

Actually, they've shown that when taller men and shorter men, with identical resumes, go in for job interviews, the taller man is statistically more likely to get the job.


Anyways, most of the time, I like being as tall as I am, 6'5", but it's a bit of a pain... I barely fit into my integra, and quite often I'm too big to be comfortable on regular beds, couches, backseats of 90% of cars, desks... it's a major pain some times...

I'm like 5'10" or 5'11" which works fine for me. I haven't actually measured my height lately.

Lauren is 4'10''. I remind her about it everyday, it never gets old. I don't think anyone in her family is above 5', and thats ironic since no one in her immediate family is even related by blood since she and her sister are adopted.
