For the older guys here, at what age did you stop caring about your height if you ever did?

I'd say at around 28. My priorities shifted to quality of personal life along with long term finacial and career goals.

Late 20s. All of my energy went into saving up for my first condo. Everything else took a back seat. Just take a walk in the downtown areas of any city. Plenty of tall homeless men walking and laying around. It's been said here already, it's all about priorities.

I'd say a little before or exactly at 30. Moving up the corporate ladder consumed most of my attention.

I'd say late twenties. There's nothing you can do about it and everyone has something they struggle with.
