Probably not: The majority of the growth phase is in the teenager years. By 25 years of age, the growth plates in the long bones would no longer be active.

Unlikely to happen: Some kids continue to grow taller into their late teens or rarely early twenties but only when their bone maturity lags behind their age. If the growth centers of the long bones have fused, you cannot grow taller. A single x-ray of the wrist & hand can yield a bone maturity. When you have reached bony maturity, you are done.

No: Overall, tall is a plus for a guy, but there are plusses for shorter guys. You supposedly age slower. You can be funnier, wiser, and achieve at higher levels without others being jealous. Other guys may prefer you as a friend. It's a plus for gymnasts, rock climbers, etc. Lee Priest, who I've met, is 5'3". You have complete control over your level of physical fitness which overrides height.
