Being a short man has far fewer pro's.

I'm overly picky with women too. But every once in awhile I snag the girl I want. It just takes patience being a short guy

It used to bother the shite out of me, but over time I learned to deal with it.

I know 6'7 is tall but its not overly tall, i was a grad student at lsu back in 2005-06 and I remember running into magnum rolle a few times around campus and that guy was enormous lol. I guess maybe its bc i was used to always being the tallest but magnum rolle was a big man haha nice guy but damn now that was tall.

You are right.

I can never have the muscle that these tight short guys have. I'm jealous.

I'd have to gain 100 lbs to do that...

I don't know about that. I'm 5'9" and my knees touch the seat in front of me. Of course, I slum it in coach. Hate it for the tall guys. I did fly on a couple of new United 737's last week and it seems like they've increased the leg room.

Tall is like NBA power forward/Center tall to me. Im serious I know it sounds weird but im 6'7 and I vivdly remember walking around the LSU campus and I ran into magnum rolle and he was with deandre jordan, they were giving him a tour I guess recruiting and magnum stopped to hi bc we'd talked a few times and those 2 guys were just gigantic to me lol. I guess its the same like someone whose 5'11 and someone whose 6'4 just those two, 5 inches taller was ALOT to me

Yeah maybe at 6'7 you aren't quite a freak of nature, but you are probably in the 0.1 percentile of people

Tall pro: Tall women.

Any of the cons are cancelled out by that pro.

Over 6'5 and height starts being more of a negative unless you get to 7'0+ and make it in the NBA.

I'm short and I wouldn't want to be tall to be honest. My low center of gravity and quickness are advantages that I wouldn't want to give up.

Supposedly short people live longer. But thats like if you're like 6'5 or under. Ideal height I'd choose would be to add two inches and be about 6'3

Cons to being tall and fit is that clothing industry is slow to catch on.
