As a 200cm/6'6" man, I think the optimum height is 6'4" - you get all the benefits of being tall (social prestige, being able to breathe in crowds) and fewer of the disadvantages (clothes still fit, beds still fit, buses and planes still fit, don't hit your head on doorframes or light fittings anywhere near as much).
If only I could go back in time and tell young vacri to stop growing at 6'4" :)
- douche 10y agoAt 6'2", I wish I had either gone up to my projected 6'8" (I think based on the double at two metric) or stayed down at a mere 5-10"or 6'. Everything is too small for me... Long airline flights are excuciating, and even the height of common kitchen fixtures is really too low
- robotkilla 10y agowhat country do you live in? I'm your same height and I don't really have these issues.
- douche 10y agoUS. I also have the difficulty of broad shoulders and something like a 50" chest, which makes airline seats even more fun - if I'm in an aisle seat, I constantly get one shoulder run over by the drink cart because it's sticking out beyond... At least around here, anything household is designed for the height of a typical 5'5" woman. Counters and tables are low enough that I have to half bend over to use them.
- robotkilla 10y agoUS as well -- I'm going to start paying more attention to sinks. Maybe I do have to stoop and I've just grown accustomed to it. > broad shoulders and something like a 50" chest That explains the rest.. I'm a toothpick.
