The IDEAL Height

[WORKEROUTER]

I have come to realize that the ideal height for a male is between 5'7 and 5'10.

This may come as a blessed surprise for a lot of you "shorter" guys out there always complaining about their height.

My personal height is 5'8. Why do I say this is an ideal height? First off, its a lot easier on your bones. You don't have to duck under stuff and constantly bend over while performing certain activites. Second, your better able to lift up stuff! Take squats, for example. Once a guy gets past 5'10, it starts becoming pretty damn hard for him to get into that heavy squat position. But take someone like Lee Priest...Hell they can squat for hours without any problems.

Of course, I am not saying that a height below 5'8 is widely admired in our society. Its pretty obvious that taller people will get more glances from the opposite gender just because they carry that whole "alpha male" aura. However, what I am not trying to say is that being below six foot is generally easier on the body overall.

So all you short guys stop complaining!

I have heard the ideal height for a male is 6'2". (maybe not for working out purposes, but for attraction and respect) However, only about 3-5% of all males ever reach this height or taller. Iam 6'

Only 3-5% of all males reach 6'2" or higher? That sounds WAY off. Where I work the number is closer to 30%, and here in Colorado there seems to be tall guys wherever you look.

Actually mahon is right... see how many 6'2 or over guys you find in Asia or Latin America as a percent of total male population...I'd say 5% is about right.

Check height stats Flyguy and I have noticed they are pretty accurate. I am around 6' and realized I am still taller than 75% of all other males. Colorado probably has more whites of Northern European decent (who are usually tall) than we have here in the tri-state area. Jersey is filled with Asians (mostly short), Italians (mostly short or average), Latinos (mostly short and average) and your overall mutts.

I'm 6'3" and I'd kill to be around 6'8". Being tall is everything.

 

[Jay26]

Kewl, I'm 6'2" to 6'3" so guess I'm ideal

 

[One on One]

I'm about 6'3" and I think my height is near perfect. I would not want to be shorter HELL NO! Maybe a few inches taller, but if I was really tall, I'd have to be a baller or it'd suck.

 

[FlyGuy]

I guess when you take the entire globe into account those numbers would be right. I was thinking just in the U.S. Maybe I should move to China

 

[Eternal]

6' 2" here...Guess almost the entire 3-5% population is on the boards here...

 

[DuckMan]

You'd have to hang around Southern China, near the Vietnam border, then. You probably don't want to live in Beijing or Northern China, if you're looking to 'dominate' and start some sh**. Northerners are on the big side, even by European standards.

im around 6 and i think its great. i got a firend who is over 6"7 and trust me that just sucks.

i myself have trobuel dancing with some shorter girls in clubs, but if i was taller that would just suck.

and being short is not very fun either

 

[juicypoop]

I'm 5'3" and it never stopped my game.

 

[jakethasnake]

Play on, playa. You must have game.

 

[Oxide]

[Soshyopathe]

and money

 

[runningriot091]

I'm only 5'9 but it would be nice to have a few extra inches to get to 6'.

Im 16 amd 5'6-7, and ive been with two girls over 6' in the past year and have had about 8 gfs and 6 ONS, half the girls were taller than me, sorry if it sounds like im bragging but height sure as hell ain't everything, and considering I can do many more leg press and my punches are faster and harder, (the longer the arms the more awkward and harder it is to hit something) so I can I throw punches at some ticked bf and beable to maneuver better than him if hes bigger, I lvoe being my height, its all personal opinion though
