I saw a Chinese guy who was taller than me today. Rarely happens.
Someday I hope to be as tall as Plasmatron.
165… I’m average now
174 - and I’m a woman. Just on the lower edge of tallness in Canada, but a towering giant in the foothills of Sichuan where I used to live, and very tall in Taiwan.
I am disgusted with Taiwanese girls. All they care about is how tall you are. It doesn’t matter how ugly or handsome you are…all they care about is tall. You can look like Jackie Chan and be tall and still get all the chicks. You can look like Aragorn from LOTR and be short and get no action in Taiwan.
As a 5’7 man, I’m’a fuming.
184-185… something like that, tall enough to reach the top shelf in the kitchen
How does one convert from inches to centimeters - I forgot the formula.
Nobody cares. All that anyone cares is how hot shallow Taiwanese girls care how hot you are, based solely on height.
1 inch = 2.54 cm

It’s true… I am unfeasibly tall, and in all my years in Taiwan I’ve come across about 3 people who are taller than me… and Chaon is one of them …
As a frequent flyer, someday I hope to pioneer ground breaking surgery that can remove 20mm of length from each major limb bone… I will call it “The Economy Class Conversion”…
For a tree, I am short.
For a blade of grass, I am tall.
For me, I am just right.
(Actually, I need to change my vote. I forgot about the extra .04 and have just been multiplying by 2.5. So, I’m not exactly 190, I’m 190.5)
193 cm, though there’s been known to be some shrinkage on those brisk mornings.

I’m not tall, but I don’t feel I’m missing out on much there.
The only drawback I can think of is that it used to exclude tall girls as potential dates, because I don’t feel so comfortable getting up close and personal with any girl whose eyes are above the level of my chin.
Is it really true that girls in Taiwan these days attach a lot of importance to a guy’s height? I’ve heard it’s so in China, but I wasn’t aware of it having begun to affect attitudes here. It certainly wasn’t a problem in my dating days, as there were plenty of attractive girls who fitted my height requirements and were only too happy to hitch up with me.
And I can’t help but doubt if the local girls really care about guys’ height when I look at the pictures in the papers every day of people like Jay Chou, Jacky Wu, Chang Fei, and so on, who are all shorties but are always surrounded by bevies of the most gorgeous babes.
