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.
![]() 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.

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.

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

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...
