    How much does height matter in how you are treated?

    Do you Think it matters in how you are treated by people?

    If you are between 158 to 190cm tall NASA would treat you like any other astronaut.

    I am 189cm tall so I am good - if the time comes I could leave this planet in a space suit!

    I'm 160 cm, 5'3 in imperial I think. Can't recall ever being treated bad or good based on my height.

    When I was in school I was picked on for being short. As an adult, no one cares.

    Being tall means your asked to reach for things all the time. It also tends to mean that people dramatically overestimate your strength. Minor and occasional annoyances, but it's all I can think of. I am about 6'3.

    If you are male and 6'4 or greater people will treat you like a freak, but generally in a good way. If you are male and under 5'4, you will get a lot of short jokes.

    If you are female and over 6' you will generally lie about it, and people will probably be intimidated by you.

    If you don't fit one of those categories, and most people don't, then it really doesn't matter.

    It's scientifically proven that taller people garner more ethos.

    (it doesn't mean shorter people don't have it, just that taller gains you more)

    Having a larger stature garners a different reaction. You're seen as more of a threat, are more likely to be liked more on average by women as a man (by this I mean upon first visual contact), and have a more forgiving distribution of fat along your frame (though this makes it harder to look muscular).

    The only thing I find really helpful as someone who's 6'2'', is that it helps give off the illusion that I'm someone too bothersome to be messed with and any attacker/mugger will go for someone else.

    Nope, I am taller, but it had nothing to do with me and how I treat others and how they treat me in return. Personally I accept anyone no matter how God made them.

    Only if you are in the shorter or taller part of the spectrum, if you're around the average then it doesn't matter. I'm 183cm which is 6 foot, and some people sometimes say I'm tall, but that's because they are shorter people themselves. I see myself as a normal height, really, and nobody really mentions it in my day to day life.

    I am around 5'11" - 6'. It is a good height from proportional and aesthetic perspectives. It is also the right balance between strength, speed, and endurance for my hobbies - mountain / road biking, snowboarding, rock climbing, and tennis. As a man, you don't get made fun of in this height range and most women won't write you off for being too tall or short.
