Also, I’m not worried about being shanghaied to go bake cookies in Keebler’s Hollow Tree sweatshop.

Someday when I can finally afford a Porsche 911, I will at least be able to fit in it, and if I’m not too old by then, get back out of it.

If one examines the biographies of some of the most successful people in the world, a common thread among many of them is long periods of deep frustration and pain.
I guess happiness is not as strong a motivator.

I would fathom a guess that those who fall within a reasonable range from the norm in height are generally happier than those who fall toward the extremes, be it taller or shorter. Just seems like common sense that life might be slightly more difficult for those who are the most “different”.
To: AreaMan
Well, I’m 5’3” but that’s what high heels are for. Voila...happy!

I’m 6’6 and feeling hostile. Maybe I should stop reading the news and get happy.

The best thing about being a 6'2” man is that everything is proportional (if you know what I mean). It works the same with women too :) that's one of the many reasons I married a 5'2” wife :)
It's just like the first time every time with a height difference that big :P

I don’t know. Jeremy Clarkson seems to do ok in all the sports cars, and he’s 6’5”.

The corollary is that many many women are unhappy and insecure.
That is the reason for high heels.

Obviously, because we can reach the top shelves. That's why some of us short ladies invest in a tall man.
