Tall People:What are the pros and cons of being tall?

[msg812]

Tall people :Why do you like being tall and what are the disadvantages of being tall for you and do you like being tall or do you want to be shorter than your your current size

I like being tall

I want to be shorter than my current height

[Prettygurl12]

My boyfriend is 6'5 and he often complains about his back hurting from standing? Is that a thing or is he just special?

He also complains about fitting into cars, sitting under tables, hitting his head on the vent in my kitchen, and just on things in general, buying shoes online, getting specially made bikes, only being able to order shirts online, and having to stand in the back for group pictures.

But he likes being tall I guess because he can see above everyone else and I think he secretly likes that he intimidates other people a little bit. :p

[RedThread]

I'm your boyfriends height and I always have some lower back pain :/ haha

[Prettygurl12]

So it's a tall people thing?

[RedThread]

Or it could be a coincidence lol

[CommieDearest]

Advantages: Long legs, I can reach shit, I actually look good in a maxi dress, I can look somewhat intimidating I have heard but I'm unsure how much of that has to do with my height, harder to adultnap.

Cons: not a thing.

[msg812]

Oh it seems you really enjoy being tall. especially i liked your this sentence ''i can look somewhat intimidating''

[CommieDearest]

I do. I'm not like beast mode tall, but I like my height. (5'10" or ~178cm)

[msg812]

178 cm can count tall for girls because you can wear heels. you can be like a giantess with heels :)

[CommieDearest]

Thanks for MH

[msg812]

your welcome. i chose yours because i think being a giant suits your face :)

[CommieDearest]

That's a very strange compliment but I will take it.

[msg812]

you can take it. i'm not trying to say anything wrong. i just thought being a petite and little girl doesn't suit your face. but being tall works for you. for example i thinkif you were a giant, you would seem like a Goddess.

[msg812]

by the way i hope you didn't dislike my that opinion :)

[msg812]

i really regret for chosing your opinion as mho.

[CommieDearest]

Why? Because I like JLaw?

[msg812]

No because i made a possitive comment about your appearence and then i asked ''i hope you didn't dislike my that opinion'?' but you even didn't reply me. now i seem like a guy who give compliment to girls but girls even don't care, because of you, congratulations.

[CommieDearest]

Honestly, I saw it on my phone and forgot to reply.

I didn't think it was that big of a deal. Jesus.

[msg812]

Jesus? Weren't you an atheist :)

[CommieDearest]

Still am.

[StrawberryCream]

-Difficult to find clothes that fit that aren't size xxxxl
- uncomfortable sitting in a bus or plain
- guys prefer shorter girls

+ at least I can do modeling
+ I can reach things that are higher

[msg812]

What is your height? by the way

[StrawberryCream]

5'11 when I last checked

[Wolframium]

Error: missing neutral option.
I’m elvish. 203,5, to be precise. Oh, yeah, metric system and comma as decimal separator. Nightmare for most ‘Muricans. :-)
No, seriously, I just got used to it. I reach high places, which is good. But other people are annoying. Like little children, they must keep pointing out the obvious. Yes, I’m tall. God, I fucking know it! Or did you think, that you giving me some breaking news?

[Little-Hippie]

I'm about 181cm (5'11'') on a good day, which isn't very tall.

But I'm almost ALL legs.

I have friends who are 194cm (6'4") who have shorter legs than me.

This means finding appropriately sized pants is impossible. And shirts and sleeves are always the wrong length.

[RedThread]

I'm around 6'5". I like being tall overall but it comes with some disadvantages.. I'm too tall for some roller coasters, I have to buy my shoes online, some cars are too small for me to drive, and a few other inconvenient things like that. The advantages are that I'm decent at some sports just for being tall, people find it desirable, I can gain more weight without looking overweight, and being tall is like a magic shield against violence since people find it intimidating.

[MarkyyG123]

The negatives are pretty much what @StrawberryCream said with the exceptions being:
- Girls like taller guys
- It is easier to find bigger sized clothes for gents

And that's all I can think up at the moment

[DodgersGM]

I like being taller than my romantic interest and I like being able to easily reach whatever I want in the kitchen.

That's about it.

[username12346]

It's great to be tall, I'm not great at volleyball, but I am in a really good state team because I am tall enough. It's so easy at all physical aspects being tall

[Jewishgem]

I'm 5'6.5" I don't know if that's considered tall but I like my height.

[msg812]

Can you write it as cm or meter? i dont understand English measurement system

[Wolframium]

@msg812 Nobody does, imperial system is retarded.
@Jewishgem USA. Yeah, that explains a lot. Did you know, that rest of the world doesn't use that retarded imperial system? Seriously, there is rest of the world, and it isn't like USA.

[rjroy3]

Honestly, aside from fitting in tight spaces and being bad at limbo I've yet to see any cons.

[LovesTVDx]

They can see in concerts. They are annoying for short people like me who can't see past them at concerts!

[indigoviolet]

I hate my height my boyfriend is taller than me but I will be taller soon :( and im not looking forward to that

[cupidkisses]

cons: back pain
