:confused:

As Malc30 says, it's weird being next to someone taller. I'm 6' 3" and I don't mind someone slightly taller but anyone considerably taller is just wrong. I'd hate to be under 6' tall. Midge.

Doesn't bother me, im not ridiculously small and a couple of friends of mine are shorter than me.
You see, I'm very happy with my height. Any smaller than 6ft looks small, but taller than my height looks weird. I'd say 6' 3" is perfect, which happens to be my height :D. Being 5' 7", do you wish you were 6ft? What is the ideal height for a man anyway?

Wouldn't mind being a few inches taller but my mum is 5'0 and dad is 5'8 so I did fairly well.

You know, there are plenty of short people about, you act as if you have never spoke to one lol ;)

I showed this to my mate the other day and he said this back:

I heard about this guy a while back. He has been claiming to be 8'5" for some time but refused to be officially measured. Didn't want the publicity or some poor excuse. I am highly skeptical of this new announcement.
At 8'5" he would be only 6" shorter than the tallest human to ever live - Robert Wadlow.

Here is a photo of Wadlow standing next to his 5'11" father:

Now here is a photo of Stadnyk standing next to the 5'11" Ukrainian President:

Note the difference in shoulder height of the two giants compared with the 5'11" men. The difference is absolutely enormous and clearly a lot more than 6".
I would estimate that Stadnyk is significantly under 8 feet maybe around 7'9". I will remain skecptical until Guiness take proper measurements and show proof.

But if he's been measured by the Guinness Book of Records then surely he is the height he is said to be :confused:

Absolutely huge though, i'd hate to be that height although i'd love to be taller than I am now - 5 foot 10".
