tell me how height helps at all? How does 6’ and above help in everyday life?
There is a wealth of research on this subject.

I guess the fact alone that there is so much research on the subject goes to show the emphasis placed on it.
All you can do is make the most of your life.
I’m 5’9", 189 lbs. @ 21 years old and I have friends who are 6’1", 6’3", and 6’6" who are 165, 170, 200 lbs repspectively. Though they tower over me, physically they look like pieces of sh*t in comparsion to me, with very skinny fat body types. They are unathletic and lack incredible amount of flexibility e.g. I took one to train with me, and he couldn’t even squat atg. They also perform worribly in academics comparsion to me e.g. we all are engineers. They are my friends still and respect me because my hard work, determination.
Point being, being tall is considered “superior” in societial terms. I no doubt agree with this. But just because one is tall, doesn’t mean, in reality (f*ck society) they are superior than you.
Sheer hardwork, determination, and will power can succeed over what makes society says is superior.
Work hard, don’t worry, and f*ck what society thinks is “superior”.
Although I’m 5’8, my legs are a lot more longer than my torso (when i’m sitting in a car w/ girls around 5’3 im around there height!). Hopefully, i can somehow stretch out or lengthen my spine to gain some height…don’t know if that is even possible, but there are a lot of supporters of it on the internet (but then again, you can never trust promotions like that).
If that fails, I would have to contemplate surgery for it. So many people get cosmetic surgery, so what’s the difference if I get surgery to be taller.
I understand that some of you don’t care how tall you are, but for me it’s a big deal especially when it comes to girls. I don’t have a problem and actually prefer tall girls and whenever I see 'em in a social atmosphere I go out of my way to talk to them, but not all of them respond with the “vibe” I want them to. I know that there can be other reasons (they don’t like: my attire, my “swag” for lack of a better word, looks and etc.), BUT i’m quite sure if I was taller my percentage of a good response from girls would go up a good amount.
Plus, height can do a lot for confidence in not just girls, but in business, job interview and etc. There’s an array of advantages a guy can have if he was taller which is where my “obsession” with height originates form.
…well whatever I do, at least I’m taller than my “predecessor” (my dad- 5’7).
