I'm 6'4" but I don't really feel tall, maybe because I walk around in such a depressed manner and have no presence to myself. I would gladly give up 4 inches (10 cm, so down to 183) to not have male pattern baldness.
I feel like 2 meters (6'6" / 6'7") is the cutoff where a person is definitely tall, universally.
However, when I am around my 6'9" friend (2.06 m) I feel like a little kid, definitely have an inferiority complex to height a bit.
A lot of people fraud their height though, and say what they are in shoes instead of barefoot.

I don't think it's as important as some people make it out to be. Women want to be shorter than their boyfriend/husband, but I think the ideal is to be a bit above average height. A lot of movie stars aren't that tall -- the ones that are are usually the big oafish types like The Rock.
The hair loss is definitely the worst part, but when I started losing my hair (at 17), I already resented my size. To me, losing my hair "completed the picture" as far as making me unattractive.
I'm slowly progressing. There was a time when I would "punish" myself for being this way by cutting my arms or even my face. I'd tell myself I was ugly and "ineligible to date" unless I wanted to set the bar really low. Now I try to stop myself when these thoughts rollercoaster because a) I'm not "ugly", b) if I got in shape, I wouldn't have to settle for a dumpy girl, and c) I haven't dated enough to make any pronouncements about what women will or will not date me or what they like about me. I still resent random remarks from people, often strangers, about my size or appearance ("you look like a cop," etc.), but I get less upset about them.
The hardest part is that to get along in this world, you have to at least appear okay with who you are, and that includes how you look. I used to be extremely candid with people, even strangers, about how I hated how I looked. People didn't want to be around me, and I chalked it up to them being selfish and heartless and only wanting to hang out with mindlessly "positive" people. I know now that I was wrong, and that while they may have felt sorry for me, I was irritating to be around and way too needy. I hate the idea that I am supposed to "take pride" in being a big bald guy and act like I don't care if I don't have hair or I'm not as attractive as most guys. However, I am going to have to find a way to see the bright side of this if I want to get anywhere.
I can tell you this, I'm an older guy and have been around the block several hundred times, vast majority women do not care if you are 6'3". Period.
