Was 6'1 3/4". Now 5" 11". Pro tip. Don't crush T10 to 1/2 of it's height. It's painful and makes you shorter. English Isle mutt

When I see a nice butt and big jigglers... I start to feel the beginnings of a rise, but alas at my age it remains a small shriveled up thing.

5' 2" here...

5'9 to start. Probably 5'8" now. Height about the same. :D

Funny when we were younger how many guys rounded it up to 6'.
I also found many tall people go out of there way to tell you how tall they are. Making up for something I guess.

5'-7" and I'm Swedish/German! I'm a midget compared to other Swedes.

One of my daughter's girlfriends is 6 feet tall and her father is 6'-7", while her mom is about 5'-4". The girl said I was freakishly short. I though that was kind of funny, so I mentioned it to her mother. She just nodded in quiet agreement, so apparently she agreed. Wow, I never thought of myself as freakishly short, even while walking the streets of Stockholm. Maybe I can get a gig at the circus.

6' 3.5 at one time. Now around 6' 2.

Good one.

5'11" and about 10lbs heavier than high school, though at one point I was 60lbs heavier. I feel short though since my 13 year old is just shy of 6' and 185 lbs.

Were you at the Galleria on Friday? I walked by a guy and thought it was you but I wasn't sure enough to say, "Hey James!"

You should always call out to people who look like someone you know. If they turn around, you were right.

Me, 6'3.5".........my son just went in for his physical today. He measured in at 6'3.8". He's 14-years and 2-months. He's taller than me before he got to H.S. than I was exiting it.

That's a tangent I didn't expect on this thread, because I've never heard it before and I've been tall for a long, long, time.

It reminds me of a Mae West movie line:

I was 5'9" before a bike/car accident compressed fractured two vertebrae.
After a titanium rod for my femur and cement in my back for the verts....I am now 5'8"

sc_rufctr 05-15-2023 03:55 PM

I don't exactly know why (perception?) but I thought Tabs would've been taller.

A930Rocket 05-15-2023 05:39 PM

I mentioned earlier my dad was 6'-4". When people asked how tall he was, he would say 5'-16". :/

chapstic2001 05-15-2023 05:54 PM

HA! My sister says the same. She's 5'13"

lost some weight before my hip deal and got reacquainted with what my crank looked like. not how I remembered it, but I was OK with it being 56 years old and all.

its hidden again now that I've gotten back to being obese, but i will always remember that day...
