You don't want to be a 5'10" manlet like me.



This.
I'm perpetually 5'11.99" tall. At 40yrs old, I still keep measuring just in case. One time on a DL application I wrote 6' and I felt like such a liar, couldn't live with myself.

I'm 5'9'' and my brother is 6'5''. I wanted to be tall like him until I saw him try to buy a car when we were 16 (long, complicated family stuff, but we're the same age). I've never been happier to be average height.
You're stoked when you fly economy!

i just sleep in the passenger seat with it reclined. done it many times. then again, i'm only in my 30s.. perhaps the days of sleeping any place i can recline are numbers.

I'm 37 days from 40 and my back hurts thinking about this.

I mark my height down as 5'10.5" all the time, but they always change I to 510 never 511...

I just turned 60 and can still sleep anyplace. Now getting up, that's a whole different story! ?

No man in history has been 5'11''. They're either 5'10'' or 6'.
this is mostly true for me. i'm 5'11.5. stalled out just shy of 6ft.
if it's a government form, i say 5'11", cuz they don't do half measurements on forms.
if it's a woman i'm talking to, i say 6'

i don't talk to other men about measurements. gave that up back in high school.

haha, good to know it's a skill i can hang onto if i'm lucky!

Believe me, when you hit 60 or 70 your body will tell you about all the abuse you put it through in your younger years, when you thought you were invincible. Ask me how I know. :shock::wink:
