"You don't deserve that height", "I could've done better in your place", "If I were in your place, I could've done this and that and what not", "You are wasting your potential", "What have you really achieved with that height?", "You never put that height to any use".

I don't even discuss the height topic with anyone. They just bring it up themselves. Most of the time this thing is on other people's minds than us. Why do they always make it about themselves!!!! I'm sick of hearing these things. They really get in your head sometimes. And no I can't be a loser just because you think so.

People always think they are better off in anyone else's place. But arghhh, it's annoying sometimes.

Just wanted to vent, peace ✌️.

Do you guys think it’s weird/inappropriate/unfitting to date someone significantly smaller? Say I (197cm) would date a girl that’s 157cm.

Hey guys, I’ve been training at the gym consistently (5x a week) for almost a year now and in this time I have noticed progress (in both lift strength and muscle), however my physique overall still looks like 💩. I get that it takes longer time to fill out and progress will be slow yada yada, but the other day at the beach when my friend saw me shirtless he straight up asked me “bro why haven’t you been going to the gym?”. I know I should be doing all this for myself but to be honest hearing that comment from him was pretty demoralizing, and later made me question if the efforts I’m putting in are even worth it, even though I myself recognize that I have made some progress over the last 10 months. My goal has been body recomposition at 250 lb. I also want to add in that I think I have pretty crappy genetics for building muscle. I do want to continue training naturally for the next few years, but I’ve been contemplating hopping on P.E.D’s if my physique is still sub-par by then. Have any of you guys here had similar experiences in the gym? And for those that have done cycle, how has the experience been and would you recommend it? Im looking for honest advice from all and please no judgement, thanks.

I'm 6'8" and trying to replace my boxers. Recently discovered Bombas, they have a pretty comfortable tall boxer brief with longer inseams...just super pricey. Any favorite brands out there for you guys?

Hello, I know I'm not as tall as some of you giants out here (you have it way worse than me. Prayers to you).

But I suffer from having very long limbs and a kinda short torso compared to my height. So do you all know a brand that may help with that, especially sleeve length?

Thanks in advance.

I stopped growing at 6'5 (still fit through doors and just under fans in my area), size 13 shoes (max the normal stores carry) and xxl clothing. (Most stores carry)

I feel like I hit the jackpot. Obviously I would love to be 7'2 and dunk on everything but I feel like I've got the benefits of height without any downside like the way the world is built or medical problems. I would like to be thinner as well but I have a very wide frame.

What do you guys think is the best human proportions possible and why???

I'm a US Men's 15

32 x 34 US 209 lbs.

I**’m 6’3.5”** (191 cm), and when I**’m scrolling on social media and people are discussing height, it seems like every dude is 6’3”. But in everyday life, I barely come across any guys who are 6’3”+ — maybe 2–3 people daily. Why is 6’3”** the most lied-about height?

I am 6’5 and drive a Prius. I am happy with it. my tank lasts forever and only takes 30 bucks to refill. I turn into an Olympian to get into my car. Just wanted to say this and see your guys thoughts.

This summer i was on vacation here in scandinavia, i have never before seen so many 6’3+ people, i felt like i was average height, is this new generation just crazy tall? Almost had to check my height again to make sure i havent shrunk.

For anyone wondering, the country was Denmark. you think you are cool with your 6’2, get ready to be humbled if you go there.
