seems to me anything above like 6'4" the cons would start outweighing the pros, so I'm going with 6'4".  Feel free to add the difference between your actual height and what you'd like it to be.

I'd need to gain 2.5".  The wife would like that.

Probably, like, 5'6", six inches shorter than reality. If I could lose a solid 75 pounds while I'm at it, that'd be nice, too.

Short enough to feel like a woman, tall enough to reach things. I'm a little tall for the first one, but it's still reasonable.

Eh being as tall as my younger brother (6'1") or slightly taller (6'2") would be cool, but 5'10" (my actual height) is fine

Being a bit taller would make dating way easier, when you're tall all options are there

Just a note we were midgets like before 1900 the average height was 5'5 and 65 yrs old and then with invention of better foods and medicine average height since 1900 is 5'7" and 80 life span, go to a museum and see how little the furniture is and I'd you are tall you can't ride in certain vehicles Mutumbo is 7'0 and he shows how tall people can't get into automobiles


Regardless whites that say they're not Irish Celts LIED because we were all midgets before 1900 and average height was 5'5 and a midget is 5'2 and most members in my family in Boomer time were 5'5 like my mom and her sisters


King Tut was a midget and David was a midget Israeli and Goelith was a Giant Philistine

We were never 6'0" on average anyway it got to be that way because of recruiting the best athletes around the World for Sports

Maybe like 5'4" or 5'5"

I don't want to be tall, but being able to get clothes without needing to hem them would be nice.

I am 6 on the dot, but for football I would have enjoyed being 6"3' and 20% faster.

Then I would have played AFL.

I’m 6’4”. Things are fine, but for basketball I really wish I could’ve had a few more inches.

Why are so worried about this the only time that we will be over 6 ft is sometime in the future we can't do nothing now otherwise we would be athletes making millions and they are rate as I said both races have Dwarfism and we were midgets before 1900 averaging 5'5" and midgets are 5'2" I have midgets in my family

Blks we're from Africa tall until we came to New World and mixed with Native Americans, Caucasian because most athletics come from Africa

My Grandma was Jamaican and she was Tall and Jamaican are descendants of Africans

If Whites are Tall they get their Gigantism from their Hebrew Ancestors Philistines whom like Jews were the original Neanderthals and CELTS were the second Adam

Just like Bin Laden is Tall he is an indirect relative of the Philistines and he is 6.0"

there is more human genetic diversity inside Africa than out of it, not all Africans are tall (or "athletic" for that matter).

6ft flat. Tbh if I was answering on metric I'd realistically reply 180cm (so, 5'11") but I'll take the extra inch if replying in imperial because round number, even if it's a bit taller than I'd actually want.

Can we swap heights? Tongue 5'6" here lol (might actually be 5'7", not 100% sure). Which while not manlet height is certainly slightly smaller than I'd prefer

Right at 6’0” right now; I think ideal would be right around 6’2” or 6’3”.

I am a dwarf that stands at around 62-63 inches tall (155-160 cm). I guess this means I can look forward to a very long life.
I have no huge complaints with this state of affairs. I'm happy with how I am.
