Coming up on the big 4 0 pretty quick. 5'7.5 tall. 175 lbs. lean muscle. People guess 185-190 though. Happy to still have good hair. lol

Former highrise construction worker in Chicago, Ex-Army Sergeant, highly decorated multiple tour Iraq Campaign veteran, and in general bad Mutha... I see big guys at the gym who can't bench their own bodyweight and I'm thinking, I weigh 80 lbs less than you and I can bench YOUR bodyweight.

I can walk into a room filled with people and know that very few if any men there have done the kinds of stereotypically "manly" things I've done. Yet, I still have these nagging insecurities about my height.

I suppose forums like this can be good or bad, depending on what you make of them. Mostly just gonna put my 2 cents in.

Now THAT'S confidence! Welcome to the forum! Quick question. What was your experience in the army like (i.e. basic training and boot camp) and how were you treated by your subordinates? How long did it take you to reach your rank?

Pay them no mind lol. You know how internet forums can go at times. People pick and choose what they want to respond to.

This is true. A woman that I know recently complained that she left her 6'3 ex because he was deeply insecure often asking questions about past boyfriends, and apparently had a small you know what. So you can be tall and still not be happy.

Re: Trouble fining S and XS clothing?

I do agree with you, it seems like the small sizes are often sold out and no one buys the L/XL, but if you have trouble finding something then i think you are shopping at the wrong places. Example, higher end brands at department stores like Sears and the Bay will never have small sizes.

What do you consider higher end brands?

AND *bleep* it with the shrinking. I have been told so many times by so many friends and sales associate that it will shrink. It won't. If it doesn't fit well, don't buy it. Even if it does shrink, it'll just stretch.

The shrinking thing is such BS. Honestly, you're better off going on Amazon or eBay and buying from Asian sellers. I'm from NYC and with all of this talk of people "getting taller and taller" why is it that I always find EVERY department store low or out of stock on XS, S and M items? Explain that one lol. They always have ton of L, XL and XXL (maybe even XXXXXL lol)
