One of the sexiest guys I ever knew is the same height I am. It felt a bit weird for about 10 seconds, then it made no difference at all.

I really have no idea what the Titans will be doign next year haha but getting back to the topic at hand, I think that Batwoman brings up a good point when she says it depends on the height of the woman you're with. I personally am 6'6" and have to say that with that territory does come a lot of inconveniences such as having to have a King size mattress just to fit (I still lay diagonally on it), looking for cars is a big issue as well and in the back of my mind, I'm really hoping I don't grow anymore because most door frames are only 6'8". That all being said, I have found a wonderful girl who is 6 feet tall herself which works out perfectly well for me. Overall though I don't think you have anything to worry about height-wise. At 6'2" you're going to have a pretty hard time finding many girls as tall or taller than you are but you aren't so crazy tall that girls of a lesser height are almost instantly eliminated as an option. I hope that helps!

I'm shorter, but I'm bulky. If some douchy skinny kid tried to fuck with me... well, that would be fun. I have been looking for a way to release my anger since I stopped playing football :D

Napoleon complex (or Napoleon syndrome) is a colloquial term used to describe a type of inferiority complex suffered by people who are short. Alfred Adler pioneered the psychological work on inferiority complexes, and used Napoléon Bonaparte as an example of someone who he thought was driven to extremes by a psychological need to compensate for what he saw as a handicap: his small stature. Typically people with this complex will compensate in many ways, reaching beyond their personal performance. A person with a Napoleon Complex may set pictures in their home to lower levels and make other such accommodations which will enable them to feel taller in their surroundings.

Very rarely do I see girls walking around with big bulky guys anymore, especially here at school. I see some of the hottest girls here at school hanging all over short skinny emo looking guys ALL THE TIME. I'm short and skinny, but I refuse to dress like a complete slob...

Be careful NP. Those short skinny kids often realize their size disadvantage and compensate by carrying weapons. My friend, who is smaller than me, carries a fucking OTF blade around in his pocket because he knows he's an easy target for a jump.

Being single a few years back, I had a good look at the heights that women were looking for on rsvp.
Strangly many short girls like 5'2",were looking for 6' plus guys. Being over 6'4" could take some girls out of the picture.
The ideal height was 6' to 6'4". Now of course they might have any number of requirments, education was a big one,job ,money,interests etc etc. A shock to me was that many were going for younger men, which ranged from full on cougars, to women 40 years looking for a guy 30y to 40y.

Valid point, yet I know how to take care of myself. I'm talking about the douchy, emo looking ones. Sure, they carry a blade. A razor for cutting themselves. I find it more fun to fuck with dudes twice my size. During football lifting stuff one day my senior year of HS I decided it would be funny if I slapped our all-confrence tackle in the face. He trew me through a door. I got up laughing my ass of. I laugh when I get in fights. My friends and I set up an MMA tourny. I got clocked in the face, spit blood, and started cracking up. Playing football I always loved running the ball, throwing my shoulder down, and either laying a big hit or getting destroyed. Either way I would be laughing.
The point of that... I'm a sick motherfucker and people tend to not fuck with me, even with my height.
I do wish I was like 5'8" though. An extra two inches would be just great. If only for my own confidence.

Sounds like you need more sex np.
Take it from an older guy, it is easier on the body.

Yes Np, me too.
It is good that for the most part, you are expressing aggression in the right places, football etc.
However even so, you can end up with a damaged body and nothing to show.
Finding a mellow place in your head can be difficult, but sex seems to help.

In your mind, really.
On the subject of height. Many scientists believe that after the age of 25 most men (unsure about women) stop growing in height. I was wondering if anybody could comment on it (particularly if people DO stop growing about 25, and if it is possible for people to put on height after the age of 25).

hey dude, it's not the height that matters... it's the person that is inside that body -- even if you're tall and you lack confidence and sense of humor, you're shy or you're ashamed of yourself, it's useless

I believe it is true that hardly anyone gains any height after their early twenties; girls stop growing sooner, in their late teens. Growth stops with the ends of the long bones (these are called epiphises) fuse to the shaft of the bone, thus obliterating the growth plate in between. When your long bones and vertebrae are done growing, it is not possible to put on height. You can gain weight, but that is muscle mass, not height.

I have been maximizing my HGH levels since August 2009 and have grown an inch. I'm 23 years old, it is possible but you also have to do some stretching excercises which arent as fun to do as PE.

Now as i remember, you max natural hgh output ,rather than add it artifically?
Would be interested in how you go about this.

You have got to be friggin kiddin me. I just wrote a whole page with all the stuff I know about HGH, press the reply button and I loose my internet connection. Press back and see all my sh*t is GONE !

Anway, here's my second attempt, probably won't be as long as the first one I did.

It's a combination of three things: diet, excersise and sleep.

Diet, don't eat too many things that releases energy too fast. I eat brown bread throughout the day, this keeps the insulin levels low ! You have to remember, insulin and HGH can be present at the same time, they can, but insulin will always win. Insulin is released when you're body in converting food into energy, which is its top priority. There are lists floating around on the internet which explain which type of food you should eat.

Excersise, don't eat anything 3 hours before you do your excersises. This stimulates your body to create HGH. Don't eat anything for 2 hours after your excersises. Let HGH do its work. High intensity training is way better than long duration training. Thats why you see people for hours and hours at the same pace and still don't loose any weight. Uhm, what else...There are certain sports that help you grow in height. Swimming, jogging, kickboxing, forgot the last one. I do kickboxing and football (the other type, people in the US refer it as 'soccer'). Both high intensity and kickboxing stretches my whole body.

Sleep, have at least 2-3 hours of REM sleep, this means 7-8 hours of sleep every day. Don't eat anything 3 hours before you go to sleep.

All this will stimulate HGH, this will make you heal faster, grow and look younger.

It doesn't matter, in quite the same essence as the size of your penis doesn't really matter. But with that said, having a few inches in growth would be nice. I am 5'9", which is about 1" taller than the male average for the US population, but compared to most of my friends, I am about 1"-2" shorter. Even for 1" I'd be grateful.

This is pretty encouraging. I am almost 24 years old, I have one more year before I am effectively done growing. One of my big issues is sleep issues. I get usually near 6 hours, rarely 7, and very occasionally 8 hours of sleep. Do you now if your diet of eating not 3 hours before and not for 2 hours after exercise affect muscle growth?

This has to be AWFUL for muscle growth ... I do NOT understand what he is saying at all.
