    I'm curious what is the height of fellow gurus around here :)

    we've seen the pix and read about the things you like and hate the most, but i'm curious what is your height and it affects you or your relationship with people and so on.
    for example Tom Cruise is 1.72cm tall (5'7.5) and he suffers from height complex (no wonder, his ex-wife Nicole Kidman was 1.79cm barefoot).

    do you actually think height matters at all?

    so please list your height and a small thought.

    i'll start myself : i'm 1.86cm which should be 6'1 if i'm not wrong. :smoke:

    hehe :) cool, i agree he is insane lol not sure if you saw when he went to Oprah and started jumping on the couch like a monkey, they even made a spoof in Scary Movie 4 about that :D

    Bruce Lee was just 171cm next to Kareem Abdul Jabbar 218cm, but Bruce Lee was a legend with no height complex and would murder that guy since he got easy access to his boxers lol :D

    I'm 189 which is about 6 ft 2, not sure about the meters though but I know I'm 6 ft 2 :)

    Yeah height matters, it's not easy sitting on a bus and I'm only 6 ft 2, your legs get murdered and you have to sit squint meaning you take up 2 seats, I can only sit at the front or back and in Scotland the back is hogged by the junkies or neds and the front is for the kids so I have to suffer the pain, it's embarassing too :(

    I'm bout 185cm, last time I checked a few months ago. I don't reckon height matters all that much, but it is better if people around me aren't round 150-160cm because talking to them can be a bit weird.

    Im about 6ft 4, so as puddingWagon said it can be hard to talk to people that are 140~160, and i wouldnt say it affects relationships but it can be a bit wierd if your girlfriend isnt exactly tall :p

    lol tell me about it!
    all my previous girlfriends (about 4) were no taller than 162cm and going to the swimming pool was an extremely strange sensation, usually they had heels when with me which made them fine, but i mean in swimming pool you're barefooted so having a midget next to you was weird indeed :p
    luckily my wife is 174 which is pretty good especially with heels she can be just 2-3cm shorter than me :)

    aye :) i noticed you're british like me... normally in the UK girls average is 168cm if im not wrong and male average is 175cm and that would be fine, however i did notice these stats go out of the window and in the street i rarely stumbled on a girl wearing some sport shoes looking taller than 162-165cm, so they go around wearing these heels and stuff giving the illusion of being taller..... get intimate and you discover ye got yourself a midget. :D MINI-ME springs to mind.

    sure it doesn't matter in personal relationship but you are right, it can get funny.

    not surprised ;) newer generation end up being taller than previous ones, at yer age 15 i was barely 170cm, had a growth spurt at 16-17 ended up 183 and got my last 3cm at age 20. eating well and doing some sport (not weightlifting) can help you achieve your max height while you're still growing.

    not really hehe since Nutyo said he is 176cm which is average height :) short for men is 170cm and below, anything over 170cm for men is average 2 tall depending on yer country. if you're Chinese and 175cm then you are tall in your country but average everywhere else. depends. hehe
    go to Netherland and you'll find average is 182cm there lol 1 out of 2 guys there are over 180cm.
