With an extra 3/4 inch he'd probably be only DMO per the BMI. You ought to grow a little, max.

Surmounted I personally found the fact that you're 5'11" quite interesting. Not that I'd ever thought about it but I think I assumed you were short!

haha this, but I also thought gbx was like 6 feet! take it as a compliment...I guess?

I always thought guys who were 5'11 would just always round up to 6'. thanks for keeping the rest of us honest!!
I round up in other places.

My driver's license says 5'6, but i think i'm actually closer to 5'5.
I feel like I get called "buddy" more than your average guy because of my size. It strikes me as vaguely condescending.

5'9" and have definitely thought many times that my life would be objectively better if a few inches taller. But you have to shoot the bullets you have in life. Waste of time to obsess on things you can't change.

At an open mic the other night, I had to pull my barstool out to practically the middle of the floor to see past the heads of all the tall people at the bar. Oh, did I say tall people? I meant to say tall ladies. I was told 5'7" was average dude height but I'm not sure I buy it.

Of course, the neck is the most logical place to go at, if you're a head shorter than the other guy

I think I was about 5'5" until my junior/senior year of high school, and some part of my brain still expects me to be shorter than most people. So, I feel you, people who are shorter.
