When I was younger I always wanted to be 6'1 or 6'2, but when I topped out at 5'10 I learned to live with it.

I'm 5'8 and I could almost swear that I'd never date a girl that's taller than me... not to mention 6'2... wtf. Her name must be Olga.

Years ago my brother and I were fighting at the Long Beach Convention Center for a Martial Arts Intl. Championship. Jean Claude Van Damme was there walking around all pretend bad a$$. Black Belt magazine looked into his "titles" in Europe yeah . He is a little runt, my brother asked him if he forgot to wear his shoe lifts that day, he stopped and gave us the Van Damme . He told him to get into the ring and prove himself without his stunt double. No reponse, he left shortly after. A ton of people laughed their butts off over that.

Just think of how terrible it would be to be a woman and "outside the ideal."

Their standards of beauty are so exacting that I can't even compare it on the same scale.
Not buying what your selling, even plain Janes will get layed when they go out if they want to. Some guy will bag her unless she is really bad. At 3 in the morning nobody is ugly.

Some chick comic said it once, the difference between men and women is when a girl goes out she knows she is going to get laid

I'm 5'8" also, but my daddy is 5'9"...go figure..

I stopped growing since freshmen in HS.I think the reason for the stoppage in growth for me was because i didn't eat well during HS.I alsways skipped class..playing with the bad kids too much and not eating. and the fact that i've been smoking atleast 2 packs a day since HS.

I'm only 5'6". I think it's true, but only subconsciously. I've never felt bad that I'm short or felt pity for myself. I do wonder sometimes if the reason why I have so much drive is to compensate for my height. money, cars, skills, experiences...I definitely do better than my surroundings.

6th grade, keyboarding class. I started out typing 7 wpm. got competitive with some cocky russian kid. ended up at 149 wpm max.

when I started riding canyons on the bike. I was a total bitch, and was riding with a super fast guy. I kept at it, and I'm practically the second fastest guy on my roads.

I like my drinking glasses to be tall. I hate the short stubby one's. I have big guns, and the biggest house on my tract. LOL.

listen to me validate myself. must be napolean complex. ****ing great works for me.
