    I can be so exact it'll sound weird, but there are various reasons I know this...

    6 feet and 7/8ths of an inch.

    If you think you're short...I'm shorter than the average ASIAN height...I think. I'm 5'6" and 1/4.

    Sad thing is, I've already hit puberty, passed up my teenage years...and I still stand eye-to-eye with middle-schoolers.:eek:

    I'm 5'9" but my drivers license says 5' 11" I think if I had told them I was 6' 3" they'd have put it on there.


    BTW let me take the time to hijack this thread and give you a compliment SLA. I have not noticed your posts in the last couple of weeks, so they are definitely not as annoying as they used to be ;). Keep up the good work.

    One of the girls I used to live with was 4'11" and 1/8th of an inch. She had to drag a chair over so she could climb up on the counter to get stuff...she was so tiny, like 90 something pounds...tiny waist...and the poor girl was a C cup, so needless to say she had killer back troubles. That was bad for me, obviously. All kinds of middle of the night tapping on the door for a massage. I believe that having done massage is one of the absolutely worse things you can confess, seriously.

    I am 6'1'', 6'3'' if I am wearing my Timberlands.

    Hey Jeff (if you see this thread), did you find that you lost an inch after your back surgery?

    The place I go to for renewal has the people behind the booth on one of those platforms I believe, so they can't really tell.

    Mine says 5'7" since I was 18 at the time... hopefully I can squeeze an inch or two more outta this pituitary.

    :confused: I have no idea what that means.

    Unlike your generously endowed friend, I don't use a chair to get things out of the cupboards, I just hoist myself up on the counter like it's a pommel horse -- I knew the childhood gymnastics training would payoff at some point.

    1) It means, that when you live in a house of women, that becomes your regular duty...actually it's not bad, they often cook for me, etc. But there are rare cases, like this girl, who would come to me in the middle of the night, while I was sleeping, because of a serious back pain...and there was sort of a feeling of obligation to comply. It's worse when they're drunk...why women always want massages when they're drunk is an eternal mystery...


    The other bad thing about having done massage is that you never get as good as you give, and it's hard to relax and just let a massage wash over you when you keep wanting to make suggestions for improvement...;)

    2) Yeah, but you have 4 inches on her...imagine what a 5'7" giant can do that you can't...:D

    Did you have professional massage training or was it just one of your many hobbies?

    P.S. Oh, and by the way, boo-hoo on your trials and tribulations as the lone male model in a house full of busty, slightly sauced co-eds. I'm sure everyone on the board feels your pain. :p

    1) yes...was liscenced, and worked in a salon for a year.

    2) It's not like that, exactly. Yeah, you see them naked when you're doing massage, but we see each other naked for various reasons often, so it's no biggie. But seriously, there are times I'm in the middle of sleep, and have to work the next day. I am one of those people who, once I'm woken up, I'm up, even if I've only had 2 or 3 hours sleep. But they'll knock if they're in a lot of pain, which is legit, so I cn't refuse, or they're drunk, which makes refusing useless...So it isn't all giggles and jiggles. And when you do it a lot, your hands just ache, seriously. And when we have parties, it get's really annoying sometimes.

    And they're not all busty.

    Macbeth, you truly are a mystery. I can't help but picture this intellectual, history loving dork at times, but at other times, just the opposite (liscensed masseuse - sp??, who does that?). No offense on any of that - you sound cool enough.

    oh, a little over six feet, btw.

    Me too. Except I worked out of my home office. However, I seem to have a bigger cruel streak than you, as I have absolutely no problem refusing to give massages to people in pain. Especially if it comes at the expense of my sleep. :)

    Lol! yeah, but you don't have to face them the next morning, already handicapped by being the only male...they can circle the wagons at a moment's notice if they feel I'm not holding up my end...and to be fair, they treat me excellently; cooking, often cleaning for me or doing my laundry if I'm in the weeds with marking, etc. So it is fair, it's just annoying at the time.
