Most shower's I've encountered are made for 5' 6" . I'm 6' on the nose and love it untill I actually have to do something. Having to bend over in the shower to rinse my head just plain pisses me off. This is also the reason I always go to the handicap toilet. Normal crappers make me feel like I'm taking a dump in a grade school bathroom. I feel sorry for anyone taller.

If I were anywhere near average, 5'6" or 5'7" and above, I wouldn't even consider this operation. This is major surgery. I'm only doing it because I am a 5'3" circus freak. I am not saying it's wrong if someone near average wants to gain a little extra height, but I think people really need to think this through and weigh the risks and benefits.

5'11".

If it makes you feel at all better, many successful cyclists are REALLY REALLY REALLY short. (The weight limit on ultra-high-performance wheels is only 150 pounds - for some, it's even less!) While I have a heck of a time trying to find used equipment in my size, you'd have no trouble at all. I say this only because I'm sick of having to walk away from stupendous deals on used bicycles simply because they're sized for Mini-Me.

If you're worried what women think, get penis enlargement surgery instead. Much cheaper, much safer, and the recovery time is much shorter.

i always go in the handicap toilet just cause it feels better.

i'm 5'11", i'm the tallest person in my family. (by about 4")

i wouldnt mind being a little shorter, but it would mean i'd have to get ladders to do what i can do right now without. like pulling stuff down from top shelves.

it's a give and take. leaning down in the shower vs needing a ladder.

So are horse jockies but not one wants to be short.

I'm a little over 6'4" and am pretty happy but it sucks for like plane rides and usually only nike outlets carry cheap shoes for my size around here that look decent. I would like it if I was 6'6" or 6'8" for basketball but I'm fine where I am

5'11" and I like it now. I wouldn't mind being an even 6' but I don't really care.

I put myself at 6' 0.5". I think I'm more like 6' .25", but I rounded up. I like this height - not so tall I have to duck under lots of stuff, but I'm still taller than most people, and imposing enough. It works well for my body type, too.

6'1", would love to be 6'4"-5" but I'm not really unhappy with it. My dad's brother is 6'7" so the possibility was there, but my mom's father was 5' so that possibility was there too, I guess I can't complain. What miffs me the most is my dad is 6'2". I never even see him but it pisses me off that he's taller than me.

Why shorter?
