My height is 180 cm but i still not satisfied with my height. I think most people will say 180 cm is a nice height for guy but i feel it is not enough for me. I want my height 185 cm or 188 cm. I like number 5 and 8 that why i choose that number. I read and search in internet some people still can increase their height even their age more than 20 years old. Most of people their height stop when they reach 18 years old for a male and 16 years old for female. I know i not need to increase my height the important things to increase my weight because i am very thin but i still feel i want my height taller than 180 cm.

Height has some hereditary reasons.However if you are below 20 or 20,you may increase your height if you do yoga and other physical exercises and take nutritous diet.Exercises in which you have to strech your body are helpful in increasing height.Exercises combined with nutrituous intake would also increase your weight. However if you are healthy,don't bother about your height.What matters is health,not height.

No,you can increase your height now.Height can be increased even at this age provided you do yoga and take nutritous diet.Don't lose heart.You can increase your height although it would take a little more time.

See? So be happy with your height man. As for me I try to compensate in other things. Like, I would try to be the best in other things. I constantly try to go and work-out though because I am chubby and I need to somehow lose weight so that my body would be proportional.

Most woman like a nice body and dont want fat. I guess if you have my weight i'm very sure you will like it. I am only around 45kg-47kg right now.

I'm not suprise when you say you only 149cm. I have a friend. She only 146cm. She say i am very very taller but i still not satisfied with my height.

Height is irrelevant. You'd be far better off getting (or staying) healthy and accepting who you are than pointlessly trying to change yourself to fit some kind of standard. Real beauty comes from within, as they say!

Height is something of pride. Some people do a lot of things to make them look taller. Maybe i should not thinking much about my height and i should thankful with my height right now. I know some people very short but they not feel they weak and they can do what a people with normal height can do.

"I know some people very short but they not feel they weak and they can do what a people with normal height can do" - precisely my point: height is irrelevant. It's just a throwback to when height meant something because it was associated with being big and powerful. In the modern world, that's pretty unimportant: your mind is a far more effective tool than anything you can physically lift. If you want a great example, the toughest person I know (both physically and mentally) is only about 1m50 tall. She's won dance trophies, is a black belt in kung fu, runs her own computer consultancy, is a mother, a wife, a foster parent... Height really doesn't matter.

Physical attributes like height or weight is not so important. Good health and happiness are more important followed by money. Of course beauty can help us a lot to achieve our objective but that is of secondary importance unless you can capitalize on it. Not forgetting that brains can get us a lot of money, happiness and love too.

Yes. Good health and happiness is our top priority in our life. Wealth also plays a good role in our life. With money we can have a wonderful life.

Actually you are already tall. I wish I have your height. I am short and I am praying that this year I get to increase a couple of inches. I am insecure with my height. Almost everyone of my age are taller than me. In a group,I am almost always the shortest one. I think you should focus more on your health/weight. 180cm is already pretty tall. How old are you? Maybe you can still gain height though if you stretch your body more. Studies show that height could be increased by exercising your body through stretching. Maybe we really are not contented of what we have now. Oh really how I wish I have your height. I can only dream.
• Malaysia

Yeah i think i should focus with my health/weight than thinking about my height. My weight just only 46kg. Very very thin. I will 24 years old in April. I think that age still have a chance to increase a height but it is very hard.

I can't understand why you want to be taller... I looked into what the average height for people in your country is, and it's around 165cm for men... on average... so that means you're already much taller then almost everyone around you... how would more height beyond that help? I guess if you really want to be even taller, (and I have a feeling you've done this already) just get bigger shoes. That way you'll look taller and feel taller. But really, you're already beating out nearly everyone else, so don't worry too much about having to get even bigger.

hi AkamaruKei, so you want your height to match with your favourite numbers 5 and 8? you should be thankful and happy with your height 180 cm because at least one of the number match your favourite number. unlike if your height is 179 cm then it is much more worse than 180 cm because none of the numbers match your favourite numbers. however, if you really insist to have both numbers to match your favourite numbers, maybe you can try 158 cm instead? just kidding though...

Sometime i think my height drop to 179cm. I dont know why. Sometime it reach 180cm. If i only 158cm i think i same with my sister height now.

I know that you are not alone in not being happy with your height, but I also know that there is nothing that you can actually do that will make you a taller person. You see, the height that we are going to reach in adulthood is something that we don't have any kind of control over, it is determined by the mix of genes that we get from both our mother and our father. If we have parents that aren't very tall people, we are most likely not really going to be all that tall at all. Me, I'm 5'4" and I'd love to be 5'6" or so but I know that I can't do that for myself.
• Malaysia
26 Feb 13
Yes we cannot control our height to a height we want. Whether we will become very taller or very short. I think i still lucky because my height 180cm. Most of my friend very shorter. Some my friend want my height.

Just eat plenty of Carbohydrates , Proteins and eat regularly , surely you will gain weight in the coming days but don't go for too much also it might create a problem for you in the future.

I think my height is good but I can not walk straightly. I mean my height is like for the models but I cannot be able to walk like them. I want to correct my standing manner and walk gracefully. That's my frustration. Hope that I could still correct it.

Are you a girl? For me 175cm and above for a girl is very very good height to be a model. What is your height?

180 cm is alright and that's why it's pretty weird to me to see someone complaining about it. You sound like you have some psychological problems. Like you said, work on your weight first and maybe that will fix your insecurities. Or could it be perhaps, that you're a basketball player?
• Malaysia
18 Feb 13
Ha i am not basketball player. My skill very worse. When i play basketball i accidentally throw a ball at my teacher head and he is bald. After that he very mad with me that why i cannot be basketball player.

I think that your height is already goid for you. If you want to increase it more., I know that thete is a technique ysedby the Chinese people wherein you wil gave to undergo.some major operations. The comoletion if ghus would take sbout a year ciz it us like cutting your bones and allow growth of osteoclasts on the area that has been cut to increase the length if your legs. Rehabilitation is anothet 6-8 months. This procedure is quite expensive. As for pills or ither medications that clsims to help increase height, wrlk, I am nit sure if that. Msybe if yoy were in your teens and ysed those pills, then maybe it would hell you absirb mire calcium to increase bone growth.

I also hear that method but i think it is very hurt and expensive. If we use a pill it only can give effect if we still teenager.

I think 180 cm of height is a very ideal one. I am 177 cm, and I think it is enough for me. If you are a male and you are below 25 years old, you still have a good chance to increase your height. But if you are 25 years above, it is hard for you to increase your height. 180 cm is good.

Having a high body is good, but also be adapted to weight loss .. If held high but less weight is also not good if seen .. So be thankful that the agency now has this, I do not have to try to increase the height ..I would argue that the ideal height is 180cm ..

Yes if we very taller but very thin some people will mocking us and say coconut tree. If we very taller and very thin our body also not stable if we stand or walking when it have strong wind. It is like we want flown by wind.

Even though you are not satisfied with your height, there isn't much you can do. The fact is men can grow until they are 20 and women 18. You should just stop stressing about it and your weight. Just enjoy life and remember you are who you are. If you are meant to be 5 foot 8 inches you will be. You have to look at your parents because a lot has to do with genes.

We can increase our height if we below 25 years old and not imposibble also below 30 years old but i think we need a lot of money to do that. I think it is better i spend my money with a good things. Right now I am 5 feet 11 inch or 180 cm.
