How's the air up there

@nahneun is going to hate this but playing ball with guys that were 6’9-7’5 being 6’4 isn’t being that tall for me. No complaints or weird flexes…

6'3" here too. By now I've got this sort of shadow closet full of great stuff that's currently slightly too roomy and bidding its time (maybe), I'm ready

did you collect those for the shadow comments before @LA Guy nuked 'em?

6’1 and 155lbs 😬

sounds like you should be eating some more double doubles

Yeah, besides Wade and Shaq, basically a midget. And then next to Lebron, lucky to get court time at all. Just #gratefui to get fourth quarter minutes, Not even like he put many points on the board. Just 12, sometimes twenty. But three ponters rack up and are easy when you are sitting on the line and Lebron kicks it out on a drive. But #noflex, just #grateful #godsplan.

On a different topic, I've had cause to reflect on sizing lately, both in terms of what's offered by shops and as regards sizing advice, and it's got me wondering: what's the average size of Styfo members?

I'm fairly certain that at 6'3" and ~250 lbs I'm an outlier, but it would be interesting to confirm that.

You guys are a bunch of giants!

I'm 5'7" and about 160 lbs and trying to get back down to about 155lbs.

FWIW, I'm also shrinking height-wise: When my wife and I got married back 2008 she was maybe 0.5" taller than me, these days she's at least about a full inch taller. I'm also constantly complaining to my wife about her putting things I want on the top shelves in the kitchen because I can no longer reach them as easily as before. If I'm anything like my dad and most of my relatives on that side of the family, I'm just gonna keep on shrinking.

The average height and weight for this forum, based upon an n of 18, is 6" 187.28".

No idea if this sample is a synecdoche for the for the general population of StyFo. My Stats learning escapes me.

I am 189 cm, or 6'2 and a bit. But I heard Americans always lie about their height anyway so I am 6'3.

I'm a boring 5'11" and 175-180 lbs. PI should be a leaner 175-180 lber though.

There are also downsides. None of the Japanese, Korean or even brands like Evan Kinori fit.
