Just curious to find out about other people, becuase just yesterday I measured myself, and I am now 6 feet tall. Ive been just under 5'11 for the longest but I guess in the last year or so, I gained another inch and Im 22 years old.

Anyone else get growth spurts like that past 20?

In other news, Im starting to get hair in wierd places too.

Don't worry about that hair down there - everyone gets it at some point, it's nothing to be ashamed of.

Yah i had one last growth spurt in my twenties as well.
i've always had one leg longer than the other as well. When i broke my leg the surgeon had to cinch my leg together so the pins could have more bone to hold on to for the rod to work. So my longer leg shortened and i'm an "even" 6'1" now.
Welcome to the big boys club Burly one. :p

I'm still waiting to get taller - I've been 5'10" / 185 for the last 10 years or so (I'm 32 now) - I hope to make it to 6'0" by the time I hit 35.

Didn't you have mono like 3 months ago? I didn't realize that it was such wicked stuff.

Dude - that sucks, though it does help to explain the animosity toward Thai Ho's that you expressed a while ago. :) I used to hear about it and wonder why it was such a big deal - never knew anyone who got it though.

I'll be 21 in a few days. I think I stopped growing around the end of 8th grade or so. I remember that, according to my highschool physicals I took to play football, I shrunk and lost weight through high school.

I'm 21 and 6'3. I haven't grown since I was probably around 16. I still wear the same shoe size as I did way back in jr. high as well. In fact, I still wear some of the shirts that I had way back in jr. high. I've heard mid-twenties growth spurts are not all that uncommon though.

i'm 22, and some people i haven't seen in about 5 or 6 months keep asking how much taller i've gotten. my trip this summer apparently changed me physically, 'cause a lot of people are also saying i look more manly. whatever the hell that means? my weight has been kinda screwed up over the past few years. fluxuating a lot. like 15lbs worth.

I stopped getting taller at around 20. I was 5' 2" in my junior year of high school, and grew six inches before I graduated. I was nervous there for a while. I thought I had stopped growing at 5' 2" which would have really sucked.

Doesn't that equal 5'8"? That's gotta suck, too..... :p

I didn't stop growing when I graduated high school.

Isn't 5'8" the average for an American male?

BTW, I am 5'11" now.

Nah - you're only as old as the girl you're shagging right? This makes me 25 - I've got many years left to endanger myself :thumb:

BTW - 32 is only old until YOU are 32...

I was 5'7" in the 8th grade........some 17 years laters I am still 5'7"

I think it's safe to say that's as tall as I'm getting :)

I got it in sixth grade and was over it in 3 weeks with another 3 week recovery period.

Friend got mono in junior high. He was sick for six months and then got 'recurrences' for two or three years.
