AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around concerns about height and growth potential, particularly for individuals around 18 years old. Participants share personal experiences with their heights, noting that growth can continue into the early twenties, depending on when puberty occurs. There is a consensus that growth spurts are linked to puberty, and once growth plates fuse, height will not increase further. Some contributors express feelings about being shorter, while others share that height isn't a significant concern for them. The conversation also humorously veers off-topic, touching on unrelated subjects like penis size and personal anecdotes, but ultimately returns to the theme of height and growth. Suggestions for appearing taller include maintaining good posture and ensuring proper nutrition. Overall, the thread reflects a mix of personal stories, humor, and insights on the topic of height.

I'm not a real tall guy, about 5'6 and I'm 18...will i get any taller than i am now? I read somewhere that we reach full height at 22 or 23, i'd google it, but u guys are better than google :-p
 
Physics news on Phys.org
5'6 Ouch :-p ... I too have heard that there is usually one final growth spurt around your early 20s. I am 19 and 6' and have been this height for years. I'm just waiting for that moment, hopefully I will end up at about 6'2 or 6'3 :smile:
 
I'm 20 and only about 5'6 or 5'7 :/.
 
I'm 16 at about 5'9-5'10, is it likely I'll reach 6'0?
 
22 and 6'4
wouldn't mind growing a couple more inches (2-3 max) ;)
 
It depends. Some guys go through puberty sooner than others. The growth spurts are all related to puberty, and once you're fully mature, that's it, you only can shrink from there. :biggrin:

5'6" doesn't sound bad to me. I'm only 5'2"...it's easier to have a conversation with men if I'm not straining my neck to look up at someone a full foot or more taller than me.
 
My freshman year of high school I was the shortest person in school. Not shortest boy, sortest period. It was my senior year/freshman college before I really became the 6' gorgeous guy you see here.
I was also late in getting hair on my ba**s. I didn't have to shave much either. I can still go a couple of days before needing to shave, and I used to have a hair on my chest but I plucked it and it didn't come back. But I'm going grey now.

5'6 and 18 years old is pretty short if you ask me. But Moonbear is right. :)

Oh no! Not shrinkage!

I am 6' 2". I was somewhat tall for my age all through grade school. I went along at about 6' through high school, then grew again at about 19 to where I am now.

All those hunky Marines I was hanging out with when volunteering for Toys For Tots were only about 5' 6" or maybe 5' 8". I kept wondering what the Marines are doing to stunt their growth since they were ALL short. Or maybe they put the shortest ones in charge of the toys...like elves. :-p

I like the quote that goes something like, "You are never so tall as when you stoop to help a child." They (and you) are all giants to me.

All you short people should look into getting a job at Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. Tim Burton is doing a remake of the movie and is in need of some extra umpa lumpas.

LMAO... oh Saint, you never fail to make me laugh.
:smile: :smile: :smile:

EDIT: Why don't you look in the spam folder of your email... I'm sure there's at least a couple of messages promising that extra inch or two.

Do you have access to Quick Dry Epoxy, a bowling pin, 2 empty Plastic soda bottles (preferably 20 oz, but 2L will work, but then you need a kneaded rubber eraser as well), and a 5hp outboard motor?

Well, there you have it. All he needs to do is insert his penis near the propeller end of the outboard motor and all his problems will be gone! :smile:

for the love of God, what are you trying to do? get him killed? this is science.
Saint, if you can't find the motor how about 3 strips of leather (longer than 1m but shorter than 5m), a deflated soccer ball and a box of thumbtacks.

don't know what you said!

if women can try to tighten their vaginas,
why not men to lengthen their pennis?

longer pennis can gain better sexual pleasure in intercourse, this is what i was told.

some guys like it long, some wide. I'd say you should go find a few guys with a wide range of penis size and see which you prefer. You will probably like a small penis until your sphincter gets a bit looser. also you could check to see if the longer ones make you choke.
 
  • #24
the problem is : who will allow me to see his pennis?
 
  • #26
LoL... this is so ridiculous.
Saint, are you for real?

I'd say your odds are better at seeing a penis than a vagina. Go commit armed robbery, and I'm sure Bubba in prison will show you his.

Tribdog, my monitor got a shower with hot tea after i finished luaghing i realized i burnt my legs as well :smile: :smile: :smile:

Saint, as a matter of science, chill out, it is "proven" that the width is more important than the "lenght" of the [it]. As a matter of sociology, in my frame of reference, any man/women change a biological thing in themsleves [unless for medical/health reasons] are nothing but a *****.

P.S: Why did i say "sociology"? I actually know the answer :biggrin:

Saint, go back to basic math. The question was about height, not length or width.
 
  • #36
Are you 12 years old or something? Your questions sound like it! Normal men grow out of talking like that. Actually, I'm not sure normal men ever talk about stuff like you do.

:smile: Man, I should have voted for Saint. (I didn't vote for anyone)

I think there was a thread on this sometime ago. I'm 5 feet 5 inches, not too bad for a girl. :biggrin:
 
  • #39
wow LOL, this thread was meant to be about your actual physical height, NOT penis length or testicle size. But i still dident get an answer to my question, is there anything i can do that would help?..Isent there someone you can go to that crack's every bone in your body or something..i think they're called chiropracters but I am not sure.

Chiropractors can't do anything for your height. If your problem is a lack of growth hormone and your epiphyseal plates in your bones haven't fused yet (that's what stops your growth), then you could get growth hormone from an endocrinologist, but results are variable and controversial. Anything more drastic than that surely isn't worth the risk. Being short isn't the worst thing in the world. I get to laugh when people bump their heads on things I just walk under. :biggrin:

I had been warned,

Are you kidding ! Sure they do. At the age of 7 of course :biggrin:

Anyway, there was another [thread=43017]thread[/thread] about shoe sizes, if anyone is interested in statistics :wink:

Saint ! You must be joking !
crazy Saint's link said:
Intensive urine testing: Science has discovered that men produce sperm cells constantly. All that sperm has to go somewhere! If an unmarried man doesn't masturbate, all the sperm cells he produces end up in his urine. It would be very simple to require unmarried men to submit frequent urine samples, which could then be examined under a microscope. If an unmarried man has a low concentration of sperm cells in his urine, it means he has been having orgasms one way or another! Therefore he is guilty of either Masturbation or Fornication and should be imprisoned! Random urine testing in the War On Drugs has been a very powerful weapon! We should not hesitate to harness it for use in the War On Masturbation!
:smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:
Just unbelievable to me ! :bugeye:

What does this have to do with the thread topic? Seriously Saint, I think you're just trying to start controversy. It's funny but it's really getting annoying.

EDIT:

having read through the site, it's obvious it's a joke. No one could be this stupid.

"4. Does your child listen to "Rock And Roll" music? If a teenager has rebelled against God far enough to listen to the Devil's music, then he or she has almost certainly rebelled enough to try Masturbation.
5. Are there semen stains on your son's bed sheets or underwear? There's only one way they could have gotten there! Line up all of your sons at least twice a day for a family Prayer Meeting and Underwear Check!
6. Does your teenager have Liberal political opinions? The weakness of mind brought on by Self-Abuse often leads to left-wing sympathies."
