What about men who get short with age?
post #1

I was thinking about this and a lot of men and women get shorter as they age. My grandmother was 4'11 and is now 4'8. My grandfather was 5'10 and when he passed away, he was 5'7. Does height not matter when you are that old? I never once heard of a man being bitter for shrinking under 5'9 if her was 5'10+

Everyone does shrink when they get older. It's just a fact of life. Even wrestler Hulk Hogan was about 6'8 at his peak. He's probably no more than 6'3-6'4 nowadays.

Damn he shrank a lot! LOL I think he was also billed higher though. He likely only shrank 2 inches. Most men don't shrink that much till like 85+

My grandpa shrunk a good 4 inches but my grandmother didn't so now they are the same height. It don't bug him though. She cracks jokes saying she needs an upgrade because they both can't reach the top shelves now lol

I think at that point in life, height... appearance... ect don't matter and what does is health. It is amazing how we only care about health when we are too old to be thought of as "attractive".
