Height means nothing, except for those that watch too much TV, where a midget like Tom Cruise can appear to be 190cm.
In reality, it's surely all about proportion.

I'm only about 160cm or so (yea im short due to a few factors) but I've never had anyone ever mention my height or lack there of. My girlfriend is just a bit taller than me and from the start she said she didn't care at all. She said if she towered me she might feel a little weird but for her it's fine to be a bit taller.

Here is the heartwarming story of a man--not so different from many on this board--who learned to embrace the little people:

I'm the same as this guy, I'm around 196cms and ALWAYS get comments about my height and apparently my "big" nose which is seen as a very good thing in Taiwan...apparently lol also I keep getting told I look like Jason Stratham which is a great bonus.

Are you really the same guy but with a new handle?
Cuz Funk looks
exactly like Jason Statham. What are the odds that two foreigners in Taiwan are 194cms and look like Jason Statham?

I'm 210cm and weigh 250 pounds, the locals always mention that I look like the Rock. Even though I look like a gorilla but no matter. I may be a little bit dumb to believe what the locals say but hey I am not the first foreigner to post this boring shit about themselves. They also say I have a big mole on my face which is a great bonus apparently.
