191 cm or very slightly over 6'3".
Taller is better in my life. My wife is 185 cm (6'1") and when she was dating she hated going out with shorter guys. Apparently, they usually got all weird about her height and started doing odd, macho/rooster things to compensate. So, with her prejudice, if I was much shorter I would very likely not have the wife/kids/life I've got now.
Speaking of which, how many guys here have gone out with taller women successfully? I went out on a date with a woman that was 6'4" once and I have to admit, it did not go well. That was probably because I was transparently obvious in wanting to skip dinner and head straight for bed, but maybe I can blame my failure on height rather than hormones.

In the american sistem how much is 1,80?
I still dont understand their way of measuring height. |
180cm is about 5'11"
(That is 5 feet and 11 inches - there are 12 inches in a foot. Although it seems a stupid measurement it would actually be rather nice if we counted in base 12 since 12 is divisible by more numbers than 10 is.)

But my god man - she was like a 6'4" goddess! Blonde, "great tracts of land", a preference for knee high black leather boots. Oh man! It was like having dinner with a 14-year old's fantasy woman. All I could think about was what she would look like in a chain mail bikini. But the dismal conclusion of the date was not my fault, see, it's because she was taller than me. Not because I was acting like a drooling 14 year old. Oh no. Couldn't be that.

After my grandmother died in 1994, my grandfather got remarried 2 years later to a close friend of the family who was a widow. She is 6' tall, and her late husband was something lik 6'4" or 6'5". They had four children, all boys, the shortest of which was 6'7". Yes, the shortest.
These mega-men went on to produce their own mutant offspring of giants. Most of the grandkids, however, were girls. To give you an idea, when I attended my grandfather's 80th birthday party a couple of years ago, one of the granddaughters was there and she was 6'4". I later learned that she was 14 years old.

i'm five feet tall....hence the munchkin in my addy...
the only disadvantages to being short is that people expect you to clean it tiny crevices where alot of nasty mildew stuff builds up when you work in food service...ick...

It's good enough for me: tall enough to play basketball and volleyball easily, and short enough to not be too heavy for cycling.

I am 199cm (and for those pre-historic peoples who frequent this forum, that about 6'6") and heavy build. And really, it’s a CURSE! 
There’s nothing more annoying then going to do the shopping and you’re the most noticeable object around, and it’s really annoying when little children do nothing but stare at you! ARGHK!
But the worst thing is, I can’t fit in small cars! Even small sedans are trouble for me! I demand cars to be made larger on average so as large people can fit into them! 
I suppose a benefit is sports, but seeing I don’t particularly like taking part in any, this is kind of lost on me (despite this, when I was in high school, I got several invitations from local rugby clubs to join them...)
Oh, what I would give to be just 10cm shorter! Please, just 10cm!
You should be glad of your shortness, you may not be able to reach the top shelf, but hey, at least people don’t try to avoid you at shops thinking your some kind of bouncer.

I never quite figured out how it was physically possible, but he looked very hunched up and uncomfortable in it, as well as getting a bit of a giggle from the 'SHG' ending registration plate
