6'2" 185. Personally I wouldn't want to be taller. My house, like those of many of my relatives is a tad old, so I have to duck going up and down steps and, on occasion, entering a new room. It's also pretty hard to get in a small car, especially the back seat.

Heard that. I'm a tall drink of water, gotta stretch my shit out - 6'4'' 225.

I was like a contortionist growing up, though. I'd cram my big ass into the back seat of a corvette if it meant I got to finger bang the high school flavor of the month.

Predictable sub-threads that can spin out of this one:

-How much can you bench, bro
-How handsome are you
-How awesome is your hair (measured in DFUs, Diaco Follicle Units)
-How many notches on your gun (i.e. carnal knowledge of a lady)
-How far can you toss a midget (i.e. midgets being the few guys on IE who are apparently not six-and-a-half foot tall mountains of men).


Adding to that list:

-How much can you drink, bro?
-How many chicks have you slept with? (is this the same as the gun notch??)
<strike>-How many times did you eat a box of nerds out of her b..</strike>
-How many firearms do you own?
-When's the last time you smacked a b*tch for gettin outta line?
-How cool is the neu-atheism, bro?

Add IQ score, golf handicap, how far you hit your driver, biggest fish/buck, and how hot that one bitch was that you banged that one time and I think we've covered the bases.

Pregaming in the living room with your friends, having a good time while your lady gets dressed up.

You hear her coming and turn to see her come out with heels on for the night.

All kidding aside, I have always wondered about hat sizes. This is the best I could state it without tripping an unintended series of jokes. I can't wear snap-on hats at all. When I get a custom fit it hast to be 7 7/8, or 8. Most people don't notice my big dome, but are amazed when they try to put my hat on. Anyone else have this problem or the other extreme?

7 1/8 - 7 1/4 here, most the lower on that scale. I actually have the opposite problem, some hats look ridiculous on me because they are so big.

So no, I can't relate :)

I used to play Pop Warner football every year from 4th grade to 8th grade...and every year they had to order a special helmet for me because none of them seemed to fit......yes, a special helmet.

My first car was a tiny two door Ford Probe. Chick Magnet. It was hard sometimes for me to get in and out, let alone my poor friends. As a quarterback I made sure to make best friends with the linemen, so you can imagine seeing those guys try to climb in and out of that car.

And to the bolded Chicks came to me in the Probe

I was thinking since the Vette has no back seat, one must assume the thought of him getting any finger action, or action of any sort, by him in high school was a stretch.

Being tall is for pussies.

I'll toast any one of you 6'ers in a game of one on one hoops. I used to be able to dunk. Can't anymore but still have mad game.

I call bs. Pic/Vid or the dunks never happened.

This doesn't necessarily prove I used to be able to dunk, but keep in mind 9 years ago when I was in HS, I was in better shape and squatted a lot. I haven't squatted in over 5 years.

Hopefully GKIrish will vouch for me not being a hair over 5'8".

This is video from tonight.

One on one hoops is what's for pussies. I'll toast any one of you in a wrestling match. :)

Hoop < 9'. That's an elementary gym

One on one hoops is what's for pussies. I'll toast any one of you in a wrestling match. :)

It's the YMCA downtown Columbus. The hoops aren't adjustable, they're all 10 feet.

I quit wrestling in 5th grade. Got beat by a girl (not pinned) who I'm convinced was on steroids and she was 18 LBs heavier than me (no one in me weight class at the tourney and so I had to wrestle up a division or sit out).

My dad is 6' 5", so I had "high" hopes, but stopped at 6' 2".

*Always thought being over 6 feet tall was this rare badge of honor, but according to this thread 75% of all men are haha....

The average height for American men is 5' 9.5''. Only 14.5% of American men are over 6', and only 3.9% are over 6'2''. So you can definitely consider yourself "tall".

ND fans are a unique group of Übermenschen, as evidenced by the attractiveness of our wives and girl friends.

I definitely expected more 5'9"-5'11" responses in this thread, with maybe 10% being 6' and over. I was surprised how many weeds are in this community.

I'm 6'2", and currently at 270 stones. Back surgery hasn't been kind to me, I've had 2 and I'm only 32 years old. I was a beefy and somewhat lean 225 before my back went out.

1 stone = 14 lbs. in the UK. If you tell people you weigh 270 stone, they're liable to picture you as Jabba the Hut.

Maybe she was on a low-grade Beaver tranquilizer:
