beinstein:


I'm not complaining, and you shouldn't.

mine85:
That's how they insulted me too when I was young... I am 6.2+.....

Today, I am being celebrated as the tallest guy in the neighborhood.... We are few.

I can authoritatively tell you that your neighborhood is full of Shatta Bandles.

Hehehe u are just repeating exactly what happened to me and I am almost fifty now, thrust me u will enjoy that height soon

Truthisit:
You should be happy that you have such an asset in height. Why can't you annex this resource to your advantage.
Have you seen NBA Basketballers? None of their top players is shorter than 6 feet!
Try and look at the massive advantage God has bestowed on you with this massive figure rather than hating on yourself.

There are NBA players shorter than 6ft just that they're not much. Kay fielder and Isaiah Thomas are examples

DonCaxton:
You don't know what you have. Do you know how many men wish to be that tall? Do you know how many women wish to be with men that are that tall? With great height comes great responsibility.

As someone said earlier, hit the gym and be fit with it. Carry yourself with confidence, own it and watch doors open for you. It's a blessing bro, don't waste it.

God bless you

Everything is not about woman woman my friend. What is wrong with you ppl sef?
Everything you do in life is to impress woman Tufia!!

Lexusgs430:
Pesin wey get cap, no get head.........

This life ehn....... Short people want to become slightly taller, this langa langa is complaining too......

Oya opt for bilateral amputation and switch to much shorter prosthesis.............

Unless his thing don't complement his height
Otherwise he is a hawt cake

uzohrome:
You no thank God say you be been tall, this can only happen to someone when shata bandle becomes his role model.

Oh lord

Depressed about your height ke?

You’re not even ready.


You better go and work out and pack on muscle.

Your height + a ripped body = man meat for ladies.

I just hope you’re good looking and not looking like all those deeper life people because your height + a ripped body is perfect for modeling.

Stay sharp.

Bro i'm 6ft2.......i felt bad about my height also....until i took into playing basketball.......i played as a guard i was so good that i was nicknamed Dikembe Mutombo (American-Congolese basketball player) one of the greatest shot blockers and defensive players of all time

Bro i envy ur height

Cheers!

Like really?...

nothing wey yemi no go see for aso rock!

#pathetic filth!

designking:
I was about that height when I was around your age and felt awkward around me people because I was slim and looks long, but over time I added some weight when a friend advise I take regular Heineken and night eat outs.

This quickly help me add more fats and weights, I combined it with regular exercise and I was able to look better and cute.

6ft+ should be regarded as a blessing and it is something you should bless God daily for. Grow some weight and muscle and you will be shocked by the number of females hitting at you.

Bros I like this your advice. Please explain night eat outs for me, give examples chief.

Cet homme est très long.

Je suis desole.

Hahaha.

I'm 19, 6'3" felt the same way, started working out and I'm loving myself

I totally understand the op's plight. Growing up in Naija as a tall person wrecks your self esteem, you hear words like Dogo, longy, tallest etc. When I was much skinnier, a friend once said I could be swept away by the wind. Lol, and I am just 6ft 75kg o. I just ignore people who make funny comments about my height and hit the gym once in a while.

Adekun33:
Am 19yrs old and I am 188cm i.e 6.2ft. I feel so awkward about my height. I feel that am no longer tall but long, for a very long time now i hated everything about my height to the extent I feel very sad and depressed every day.

As a result of that, I've lost confidence in myself and also my self-esteem is nothing to write home about.

This has made me an introvert and I don't socialize.

So pls tall dudes out there, I want to know how you deal with your self esteem and confidence and also how you approach comments about your heights cuz am gradually going insane!!!

iffaaslap you, your brain will reset.
Don't eat late please. I will recommend you hit the gym. Focus on your studies and trust me.....you will soon enjoy it later.

Take my advise,
You are lucky to be that tall.
Hit the gym once a while to build your body and you’ll regain your self esteem!

Sunofgod:

tobby20:

You will soon thank God 4 ur height now

Please calculate your BMI (https://www.smartbmicalculator.com/) before you conclude that you are long. It is actually a blessing, we are of the same height and people look up to me because of my intimidating height, Just carry yourself properly and you are good to go. Just to let you know - my nickname is Long Shanks and i love it.

Your 6.2ft and your depressed. Please face reality because
1. You didn't created yourself to begin with.
2. According to biology its hereditary
3. Devote your mind to your (work).
4. Stop thinking negatively.
5. See others how are 202cm e.g Paul Onuachu, Peter Crouch etc.
6. Be positive

Are u saying Osinbajo is worse than YOU?

Bros, are u OK?

I'm 6ft 4 inches and im hearing for the first time someone is worried about being tall.

Guy be happy. I was already 6.2ft at 18yrs old. Was called many names...Dongo and all...but bro, it's my selling point now. Na women's dream guy dey make u depressed? Better cheer up...you will add weight as you grow older.

TheFacelessMan:



Let me leak some secrets.

The Faceless Man is 6ft 1 inch tall (1.85m) to be precise.

He too grew up feeling awkward because at 13, he had almost reached adult height.

[b]But as an adult, he found that most women love tall men.

Believe me, you would understand better around age 25.... [/b]

leave op alone, i thought he was short after reading the headline.

Me that am ranging between 5.5/.8 (not sure), when people say am talk i do get pissed because i dnt feel tall
