ok what the fuck is up with 70% of the guys at my school being 5'11 or taller. at 5'9 i seriously feel like im in a redwood tree forest when i go to school.
Is it like this at your guys' schools? i feel like im average height but alot of you on this forum have posted that your 6 ft or taller. i dont feel like im at a disadvantage but being taller definately helps with being the center of attention or AMOGing. what do you guys think?

Average height for a male in north america is 5'10" or 5'11" I can't remember which. So your not short, just average. It really shouldn't affect you, I know way shorter guys who are still awesome. Why? Cause they dont think of themselves as short. Fuck it, short is a mindset.

I'm five nine bro!
I never considered myself short in high school. till I got to college, where I felt like I was looking up at everyone. And it's true girls like tall guys, but it's really that only like guys taller than THEM. And even then its not a problem. I've dated a girl who was straight up taller than me, and SEVERAL who were taller than me in heels.
I mean I'm 5'9 5'10 so I'm not super short, but I asked my older cousin (shorter than I am, HUGE player) how he dealt with it and his answer for me was,
"short? I'm not short. You're not short. midgets arent short. you're only short if you think you're short. The only weakness you have is the weakness you put on yourself."
I've taken that advice with me ever since.

Personally at 5'5" - 5'6" I really couldn't care less, unless there are other guys that sort of undermine my height lol. But since I'm in Australia and women average at around 5'4" so I'm pretty safe I suppose. ;D
Then again, doing height gain exercises couldn't hurt. Anyone done height gain exercises before? Just curious is all.

6'2" I don't think it hurts me, but it does give me a boost in terms of physical presence. ( I am also very in shape so that helps too)
But as a hindrance? Yeah if you are 5'2" its not going to help you, but it really shouldn't make it impossible.
good luck boys
