I agree. I'm happy with my height. I'm not short and I'm not noticeably tall. At 175 cm. I don't tower over everyone I meet, so I know. And I do take public transportation (well, haven't since covid) but my knees are usually good.
Im sorry for those with rare heights because society doesn't always build products and physical space to accommodate them. It's more expensive... but maybe you can invest in some unique good quality things and your set.
@quietcuite perhaps in some Asian tribes or African tribes of closely related people... depends. That 175 is generic, though. I don't know if it's 5'8.1 , 2, 3 4 or what, neverthlessb, the number might look tall on paper but real life is quite different. I do feel anyway.
Remember, it is popular for women to wear heels, and so the world has adjusted. If the average female height is 5'4 then it becomes about 5'7 , there is no towering or giant feeling with an inch or two difference.
@quietcuite Not for women who are 5 feet, 5'1 5'2 5'3 5'4 5'5 5'6 (maybe a few) my level isn't high enough to link an image on GAG but just google couples, you are sure to see couple about the same height.
I am a bit on the tall end, and yes the leg room on places is the worst. And while growing you bumped your head a lot. Because you hadn't learned where you need to duck yet. There is one good advantage you always see over the heads of a crowd. That makes navigating much easier. Finding clothes that fit can be hard because they assume for some reason that you grow in both width and height equally. I am tall not fat or bulky.
Both have advantages and disadvantages. I'm 5'6, I'd like to be 5'9. Regardless I'm very athletic, ik I wouldn't be nearly as so if I was tall. Especially with boxing, tall boxers have shit form
because you become a lumber oaf basically. There's plenty we simply cannot do. Climbing is a real b*tch too. There are places you can go to escape capture that we can't either.
I'm 5'6". A few of my friends are about 6'4"-6'6". When we go to the bar, I look like the coach of a basketball team haha. None of the girls even look at me when I'm with them, they are too busy gawking at my tall friends. You want a car that gets good gas mileage that you can fit in? Honda Fit 1st generation. My friend who is 6'7"bought that car because it was the only one his legs fit in, no pun intended.
5'6 is short though. Like I'm just saying being tall is overrated, not saying short people dont have struggles. But being tall isn't as great as some people think. I went weeks shoeless before because I needed special orders because local stores never carried my sizes smh. also you basically wear the same shit every week too. Bars aren't where I meet women anyways so that's not doing me any good tbh.
Being more/less x than average is usually a bad thing. Average evolved to be at least pretty good, after all. And not being normal will have a bunch of downsides that you'll have to live with.
I can related to all of these since I'm 6-3"... it's an almost daily occurance to hit my head on something... likely installed by a short person.
One other annoyance is when traveling and the shower head is mounted about a foot too low for me. That being said, overall I'm glad I'm tall. I know a lot of women look for taller guys, and it's a benefit at a concert if everyone is standing I can still see the stage with no problem!
Dude how tall are you XD Iβm 6β1 and I deffs feel you on the airplane shit, cars as well, it can be very cramped... back and knee pain, yup, having a long back and working a desk job is a bad combo. Gotta stretch and workout lots to keep from degrading. But yah Iβm curious how tall you are cause at 6β1 I experience some of this, but I feel like if I was a few inches taller it would be a lottttt worse
As a woman who is also taller than 99% of other women out there, I can attest that being really tall is not fun. Cloths don't fit properly, along with a ton of other issues. Its a pain... litterally
Just how tall does a girl have to be to not find clothes to fit? A knee length skirt for me would be a mini skirt on you? Just how tall an Amazon are you?
I'm short, and I like it that way. It's easy to blend into a crowd, I can wear heels without having to worry about being "too tall", and I like feeling petite. I do see the perks of being tall, but personally, I like my height.
I'm nearly 6ft 1 and the most annoying problem that i had is sitting at the back of the car which i rarely do and i'm also overweight, it's the back seat was never created for guys like me especially if it was a small car backseat... etc
Why would I wanna fit in a European vacuum cleaner? LOL If I can afford to buy a car, it would be a 1969 Dodge Charger R/T. Or if that's not available, at least a 1968 Camaro SS or any other American muscle from that era whose engine has at least 400 hp under the hood.
After reading this, I'm lucky that I'm not that tall.
I mean, tall people has many advantages to reach long places and intimidation (if someone is messing with you).
I'm 5'9 (basically average height here in the United States and tall in certain countries) and to some people, I'm slightly intimidating whenever I have to protect my friends from a stranger.
I would have been happy to have made it to 6 foot but my dad is 5β7β but I did make it to 5β10β and still here itβs short to women and Iβm around people that are 6β3β and they donβt complain much about it except with cars and shirts not fitting right but my feet are bigger then theirs which is funny. I think legs hanging over the bed or taking a shower with the nozzle to low would be annoying for tall people
I'm 5'5" so I'm not familiar with your struggles as a tall person. I understand that all of this bothers you but I still prefer tall men. I probably couldn't date someone who is my height.
Yeah, on those long flights I appreciate being average height. I would think anyone over 6'4 would pretty much have to fly first class on all but the shortest flights.
Supply and demand. There are a host of platform shoes, and drastic surgeries to cater of men who wish to appear or become taller. Are they any for men who want to become shorter? The pros vastly outweigh the cons.
its true, its all true, little guys constantly try to fight you, like they want to channel their inner david. Everything hurts because just being alive, head bang into everything, even large cars and many cabinets are out to get us, trailer hitches too, old bishes CONSTANTLY asking you for help in getting cans off the top shelf at the grocery - I charge em 4% per can, thet shuts em down pretty quickly.
There is a guy in town who is somewhere a bit over 6'6"... He says he has to hear people cuss all the time because when he goes out in public, people look up at him and say, "Oh SHIT!"

5'9 is quite tall for a female

@quietcuite. From what I prefer and others I've spoken to, we prefer a slight difference in height for partners, not a child-adult difference.
Yet these things are not important or a must. Same height at least and 4 inches taller at most.
Short men as in 5'7 and lesser... look bad and unattractive and have very little chance with women , yeah?
@quietcuite Not for women who are 5 feet, 5'1 5'2 5'3 5'4 5'5 5'6 (maybe a few)
my level isn't high enough to link an image on GAG but just google couples, you are sure to see couple about the same height.
Men being same height or somewhat smaller than women look ridiculous π
And even short women desire taller men... at least 5'9+

But I wanted a fancy sports car! </3

Yes im 6'3 and it's still not the tallest. If I was 6'7 like my uncle fml lol

@Daniela1982 well since I donβt wear skirts, Iβm referring to pants and shirts that are long enough
What's your height
You probably look great in oversized/male t-shirts right?
I'm short, and I like it that way. It's easy to blend into a crowd, I can wear heels without having to worry about being "too tall", and I like feeling petite. I do see the perks of being tall, but personally, I like my height.
How short are you
@quietcuite 5'3"
by the way what's the benefit of being able to blend in crowd?
@quietcuite hmm, I don't actually know lol
@quietcuite you disappear into the shadows like a Ninja
I'm nearly 6ft 1 and the most annoying problem that i had is sitting at the back of the car which i rarely do and i'm also overweight, it's the back seat was never created for guys like me especially if it was a small car backseat... etc

I know all too well the draw backs of being tall, my back is definitely one of them!
I'm 5'5" so I'm not familiar with your struggles as a tall person. I understand that all of this bothers you but I still prefer tall men.
I probably couldn't date someone who is my height.
5'10 is the average height of men. So is 5'10 a dealbreaker?
Not to me. But I couldn't find a guy who is 5'10 where I live (assuming that I was looking for a boyfriend).
Ok just asking as 5'10 is avg height in USA and not considered tall
I didn't know. Yeah 5'10" is not very tall, but I could date a guy with that height. At least he would be taller than me.
I'm 6'3 myself
That's great, I like your height.
Yeah, on those long flights I appreciate being average height. I would think anyone over 6'4 would pretty much have to fly first class on all but the shortest flights.
Due to being 6 foot 3 and a half I have to bend to avoid bumping my head when entering the kitchen
We're basically the same height. So you know how it is.
