Wow, 5'7 is the average? I'm 6'6 and I generally think of guys under 6 ft as being overly short.
When the fight starts remember that I'm on your side.
So, this here sword will only reach to your neck.
Overly short? Damn, I'm no where near 6'. You probably think I'm handicapped or something equally silly.
Have you ever been to Korea? You'd be a freak over there. I remember riding a bus there once and I felt like I was a NBA star.....and I'm only 5-11.
Well, there is tallness on both sides of my family...my dad was the short guy at 5'10"...my brother was 6'7"...my mothers brother was 6'2"...my mom herself was 5'8"...all my male cousins on both my mom and my dads side were at least 6' tall...I am the short lady, being only 5'6"
So I was always used to being around tall men, and would not even date a guy shorter than 6'...luckily for me, my hubby is 6'2"....our older boy died after just turning 15, from leukemia, but by then he was already 5'11"...my younger boy is 6'5"
What I find unusual is my hubbys family...they are all from Sicily...I had always thought that Sicilian and Italian men were short, but not in my hubbys family...his dad, and all his uncles are over 6'...even the old grandfather was over 6' tall...
I like em tall...
my brother is five years older than me and he grew tall at a early age and he didn't stop until he was 6'5 when he was about 15 years old. I used to make fun of him and he said he felt sorry that I was the second born and he pointed out families that we knew where the second child was the tallest and he said it would be worse for me because I was a girl. It scared the heck out of me. I was 5'6&1/2" by the eighth grade and thankfully, I stopped at that height.
