6'5", maybe 6'6" if I could fix my back problems. That's around 196 CM, or perphs 199CM if I am really 6'6". They say, based on the length of my limbs and my Family Genetics, I could grow to 6'8" if I take good care of myself. My mom is 5'4" and my dad is 6'2", my Uncle and his son are 6'4" each, and I have a few taller relitives on my Dad's side of the family. I was never tall untill last year, though; when I entered High School, I was only 5'2".

2 Meters = about 6'7", the real numer is 6'6.7481"

Holy crap, If you were any shorter you could suck hin standing up. That is scary. :blink: :shock:

I am 6'1" and I prefer girls who are about 4'10"

Ypur girlfriends probably could. :shock:

most girls under 5'0" are scared of me.
Normally I end up with a girl around 5'2".

That is less scary. Your girls propably come to your chest.

but the 4'10" is girls I have dated I really liked.

It's a funny feeling to be standing over your mom when she has shoes and you don't.

Mom can be in 12" heels, and I'll still be taller than her, even if I'm barefoot.

I'm about 5'2, and I prefer girls my height or shorter. I might go for one who's an inch or two taller, but that's about it.

I'm actually really happy with my height range... it's just tall enough so you can attract the ladies (6'2" is becoming more and more normal)... and tall enough so you can see and be seen in a crowd...

it does suck hitting your head on things and being a head taller than any girl you try to talk to (even if the girl is kinda tall at 5'8" I'm still 8 inches taller than her).

But I'm ok with it... I don't think I would want to be much more than 6'6" though... then you start hitting your head EvErYwhEre.

But I get what you're sayin.
