What is a good height for a man?, I'm 5 10 or 5 11, and i'm 25 years old.. i have always wanted to be tall. Sometimes i ask my self whether im tall or short. i never seem to get the right answer.. my dad is well over 6 feet and my brother is 6 or very close to 6 but i'm not.. when i see men or woman who are taller than me i feel really short.. i would like to know if 5 10 or 5 11 a good height for men?... is there any chance that i could grow a bit taller?...

my next question, why is it that i'm shorter than my dad?, my dad is over 6 feet, dad's dad is also tall and healthy, he hasn't lost a single hair, he's 90 years old, and also my mom's brothers are also well above 6 feet... is there any possibilities of me growing at 2 or 3 inches more?, any natural ways... i do not recommend pills or anything unnatural....

CindyCares agony aunt No. At least, not where you live. The average height in your country is something like 5' 9 1/2" , so you are just slightly above average.

But, does it really matter to be called tall... ?

followtheblackrabbit agony auntYour height sounds pretty good! But, I don't think you'll grow much more as you are 25...did you start puberty late? Thats one way where growth can increase a little more as the hormones that cause the change are still active in your body...I have no idea if this is true, but I heard that passion fruit triggers some positive changes in the male body when it comes to levels of testosterone, height, strength, etc. Genes can be tricky! My mom is tiny, 5'6 but petite. I'm 5'9 with curves :p My dad was 6'3 and my younger brother looks like he'll hit 6'5. But both my grandpas were under 6'0 :p Really, you're fine. Really tall men intimidate a lot of women! At 5'9 I intimidate some men (who are sometimes taller) and prefer that all women be 5'2 :p Embrace your height, you'll find that there are more advantages that come with it than you once thought!

I have a friend who is about your height. He always got more girls than me, and I'm 6,1 or 6,2. I honestly wouldn't worry about it. Some women find very tall guys quite intimidating anyway.

largentsgirl89 agony auntDepends on what would make you comfortable for yourself. Most women don't like men past 6 ft. National average height for a man is 5'11 so your normal. Just because your dad is 6ft whatever doesn't mean you will be too. I'm 5'4 and my boyfriend is a foot taller than me, but that's what I grew up around.
