what would you consider height perfection?


I'd say 6'3''... anything much taller than that and one might start being subject to the gargantuan buffoon response, especially in the corporate world. I think women's bodies start going downhill after about 5'10''... their hips just get too wide and amazonian to support the frame, even if they are statuesque (i.e. I realize models are frequently above that height). 6'3'' would still get you above a 5'10'' chick in good heels.

I am 6'4", my Mother was about 5"5", and my Father 5'10". Curiously, my sister and brother are both 6 feet tall.

5'9, which is probably average for an Asian in his 20's

This is my first post too. I'm around 5'4", which is short even for an Asian guy.
Is there is secret "Short people fashion tips" thread somewhere? :)

5'9", though it's been a while since I last measured. It seems my inseam has grown .5" since that time... Supposedly you can still grow until ~25, and I'm 26

lots of manlets ITT, 6'6'' a couple of more inches and I would've had to play some sort of profesional sport, flying coach at anything north of 6'8'' sounds like an awful time.
