Your Height, and How it Affects You

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Well, I'm 6'5" /305 lbs and a logger on the west coast of Canada. I think that my size/height , has probably been a positive in my life overall. Though it was kind of awkward when I was younger, I think being "bigger" has probably helped me overall. I notice that a lot of the previous posters on this thread are over 6' ( no insult intended to anyone more vertically challenged ! ) atb aj

I'm 5"6". But i am certainly not intimidated by people larger than me(which is most). I have had all the stupid and immature comments about my height but just brush them off.

You guys don't know that I'm 6' 6" (possibly more)?!? Sheesh, I posted that in another thread AGES ago. No-one listens to me . As I recall, The only person who may be taller than I is SpaceNut who is around 6' 7"

Code - You never would have guessed? Why? Do I sound short or something?

JD - No, the rabbit ears add another foot .

Well Esky, I'm darn close, and not done growing yet. I would guess I will hit 6' 7" or 6' 8" by the time I'm done, but you never know.

I'm only 5'7 and 145lbs....(have no idea what that is in metric...sorry ).

I never get crap from anyone because of my height...and taller people don't scare me either....the only things in the world that scare me are Needles, Clowns...( yes CLOWNS), and arachnids..(spiders). Tall people are not intimidating for the simple fact, if one wanted to start some crap, (the wonders of martial arts) i was taught to ignore the size and go for the knee caps lol ...no seriously...just because someone is taller does not mean better....think of the shorter football players...they are lighter and faster than the big boys...(aerodynamics lol )...gives us "vertically challenged" people hope

"To live is to die....but living is to die slowly..why waste time on trivial things just play as hard as you can"

I used to have troubles with hooking chicks when I was younger due to my short height. However, after I found my wife, I'm happy now

Life is only given once ... and most often by accident

heh, DSQrn, you have no idea the amount of crap tall guys often get from short guys with napoleon complexes. There used to be a guy at my school who thought it was great to constantly take the piss out of me for no apparent reason. The only reason I can think of is possibly because at 6'4" I was about a foot taller than him and he felt he had to prove how much of a man he was.
The other bummer about being tall is that when you're a kid the older ones feel its perfectly fine to pick a fight with you when they would never do it to any of your peers because of the age difference.
And finally there's the occasional low door frame, sign post or wing mirror on a bus that smacks you on the head.
I'm just glad I'm "tall" as opposed to "holy crap lets all stare at that guy" kinda tall. There's a guy who lives somewhere around my hometown called Chris Greener, I've occasionally seen him in the supermarket, he's the tallest man in britain last I heard at 7'6"!

Since I've moved to Okinawa, I seem to 'fit in' a lot better...

Post Wed Nov 17, 2004 11:43 am

I want to pick up some weight tho...afaik you have to be 65kg to fly a jet... and I got a year to get there hmm...could work

The dude at the game shop is such an idiot...he told me I should try out Real Life sometime...this while he knows that I dont like fantasy
