generally speaking, yes.  but there are always exceptions...look at supermodels.  skinny as a rail, yet 6 feet tall.  go figure.

If you believe everything you read, a woman parachuted from 50 ft, her shoot did not open and she suffered only broken bones.  It was in our local paper last night.  I personally do not know nor care how high I can jump, I'm just greatful I can walk and not fall down most days!  But good luck in your experimentation = sometimes that's the best teacher.

That sounds really silly... peoples personalities will always be the thing that influences me to spend time with them - not how tall or short they are.\n\nI'm female and 5'10 - I'm happy with my height (and the fact that I don't have to use a ladder to reach the high shelves...) but I don't see the point in trying to make yourself appear taller!? I feel uncomfortable enough wearing high heels as when I look around the room I can see over most peoples' heads - makes conversation a bit awkward - I'm not the sort of person that enjoys talking down to people...\n\nTake care\n\nLx

Apparently, I am SO STRONG because I am tall and medium-boned.  When I did a practicum in Social Work class, I had to lift patients in a group home.  I cannot lift a 100 lb. woman by myself.  Back then, I weighed 130 lbs.  I can't lift more than 40 lb.  I have been asked to move furniture, which I consider to be a man's job unless you can really handle it.  My boss was shocked that I said no.  She went and did it herself.  I am an artist who writes poetry.  I run a typing business and work part-time booking cleaning and renovation appointments as well as product displays and deliveries of various parts and bags for vacuum cleaners.  I am not a military-strength type.

Yes, absolutely!  I am same height/weight, as long as it's muscle weight, it's fine!!  Most people don't believe it when I tell them how much I weigh, they think it's lower!!

I am a collegiate high jumper!  I am white.\n\nA white guy won the last olympics in high jump!\n\nI have a 39.5" inch vertical, done the way they do it in the nfl combine, my uncle held the White Sox vertical record (after Jordan played for the Birmingham Barrons - Jordan's was 38.5 or39) my uncle had a 42 inch vert.  \n\nAlso, everyone stating that all of these people have 40+ inch verticles please check your numbers.  Only a  slight few of the nfl players have a 40+ inch verical (taken the correct way) and I think other than mens volleyball no mainstream sport has a high percentage of people over 40 inch verticals.\n\nIn college a main majority of all-american high jumpers are white.  Last year there were 6 out of the 9 all americans were white.  The truth is - blacks don't necesarilly jump higher or farther than whites but it is true that blacks are statistically faster than whites so that coupled with more control at takeoff in a sport like basketball or football would incinuate that more blacks jump higher than whites.  \n\nIt really is not a race thing, you know it is more of a genetic thing.  Therefore, blacks or African Americans are genetically predisposed to being more athletically gifted, though.  However, I will go out on a limb and say that the highest concentration a person will find of high verticals is in Men's volleyball and most of those guys are white.  I have heard that to get on the men's U.S. national team a person must have at least a 48" vert.  Now, I know my vert is high at 39.5"  but there is no physicall way I can add 9.5 inches to my vert and that is just being realistic so also don't by into these jumpsoles and stuff, just do powercleans or powersquats - preferably powercleans help more.\n\nSo to get a legit 4-6 inches on your vertical work on power cleans and plyometrics for a few YEARS!  Otherwise I hope genetically you were born with good jumping ability.  I dunked in the 8th grade and my brother (is a sophmore in high school) can do some rediculous dunks - a windmill and a 360. But, I can do a 360 windmill and he is almost 6'6" and I am 6'4" - that was just the training part that helped me. But really, it  has 90% to do with genetics.

Good things come in small packages. I think it all depends on ones personality. Don't make your height an issue and people will overlook it. My boss is only 5'4" (I'm 5'2")...we joke about our height all the time (he calls me shorty) LOL! He's a great guy with a great personality. A real people person.

It really depends on the person.  I'm pretty sure I am taller than most of the sprinters in the world, and I am also pretty sure I would lose to them.  On the whole, taller people take longer strides and cover more ground more quickly than shorter people.  But, I think a lot more factors play into it than height.

You definitely sound tall enough for me! Look, Tom Cruise isn't very tall and he has gone a long way.  But if it stills bugs you the Guardian reports that there is a procedure in China which involves breaking both legs and having them stretched on a rack. A doctor saws through the flesh and bone below the knee and inserts giant steel spins. These are then connected by eight screws punched horizontally through the ankle and calf to a steel cage surrounding each leg. Once the bones begin to heal, each day the "patient" turns the screws a little, and stretches his (or her) limbs more and more until he has grown to the desired height. It is 18 months of agony and pain. Some patients get to be five inches taller! I won't guarantee it though.

The biggest di***ck I ever met was a boss I had who was over 6 feet tall, 400+ pounds and always in trouble for verbally abusing the staff.  Obviously he had a small penis.  But he himself was the biggest di***ck.  (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

No. \nI agree some people might occasionally judge a man by his height, but that is different than being constantly judged everywhere you go like women are, and the affects aren't nearly as far-reaching.  \nIt is society's ideals of women that make us want to be with tall men:  if we are the bigger one in the relationship, it makes us feel more masculine and unattractive.  Its unfair to both sides but that's how it is.  However, men and women who can learn to not care so much how people view them can get over this.  And everyone knows short guys are better in bed because they work harder to make up for their own body issues.

I have a buddy named Carrol who is about 6'6" 300 lbs and is very sensitive about his name.  Now you would think people would say anything but then again, people can be very insensitive.
