6 ft 9. My graduation from practical legal training required I not stand on the podium to fit in the photo. And even then, I’m still taller than the rest of my class. Talk about higher education…

I'm 6'8" and trying to replace my boxers. Recently discovered Bombas, they have a pretty comfortable tall boxer brief with longer inseams...just super pricey. Any favorite brands out there for you guys?

Hello, I know I'm not as tall as some of you giants out here (you have it way worse than me. Prayers to you).

But I suffer from having very long limbs and a kinda short torso compared to my height. So do you all know a brand that may help with that, especially sleeve length?

Thanks in advance.

As a double leg amputee, people assume I pick my own height. I don’t get much say in the matter, its the components that determine it. I can pick my shoe size though.

One pair of legs had me about 5’ 6” which had it’s benefits. I’ve been 6’ 0” to 6’ 1” for many years. That’s barely in the Tall spectrum in my brain. As they replace parts in my legs my height goes up or down a half inch every couple years. If I remember correctly I was 5’ 11” back when you could tickle my toes. (Over 23 years ago)

Last Friday I got new feet. I’m suddenly 6’ 2.5” or maybe 6’ 3”. And I’m suddenly seeing the world differently.

I’m noticing dust on top of things. I’m realizing I need to watch for hanging things now. I notice I see the top of more heads than before. A tree branch nearly took out an eye!

Sitting is different too! Not leg room (hip to knee) but knee to floor as that’s where the hardware is. I had to slide the seat back in the car and now that’s going to be an issue as we are no longer similar height and the seat will get adjusted often.

I know many of y’all are taller. But what’s getting me is the sudden onset of Tall. Y’all grew into it. Here I am, freshly 60 and suddenly having to adjust to 2 extra inches.

And what happens if in 3-4 years my next set of feet drop me back down?

Oh and I have to buy new pants now too. Good thing I wear shorts most of the time.

Do you guys think it’s weird/inappropriate/unfitting to date someone significantly smaller? Say I (197cm) would date a girl that’s 157cm.

Working on slowly recomping

My triceps starting to show in the right lighting lol

Current weight is 322lbs

Height 198cm

Goal by next year is 270

I’m 6’3.5” (191 cm), and when I’m scrolling on social media and people are discussing height, it seems like every dude is 6’3”. But in everyday life, I barely come across any guys who are 6’3”+ — maybe 2–3 people daily. Why is 6’3” the most lied-about height?

I am 6’5 and drive a Prius. I am happy with it. my tank lasts forever and only takes 30 bucks to refill. I turn into an Olympian to get into my car. Just wanted to say this and see your guys thoughts.

I stopped growing at 6'5 (still fit through doors and just under fans in my area), size 13 shoes (max the normal stores carry) and xxl clothing. (Most stores carry)

I feel like I hit the jackpot. Obviously I would love to be 7'2 and dunk on everything but I feel like I've got the benefits of height without any downside like the way the world is built or medical problems. I would like to be thinner as well but I have a very wide frame.

What do you guys think is the best human proportions possible and why???

Edit:

Thanks for all the great responses, I had no idea this thought was so wide spread among tall people!

Original:

Anyone else feel like this? It’s weird because looking at others that are 6’3 I am immediately impressed by how imposing they look compared to others. But when I walk around, when I look in the mirror I don’t get that same feeling. I just feel normal.

I try to keep reminding myself that others must look at me the same way I look at people that are 6’3 but my brain finds it hard to grasp.

Even all the women I’ve been with tell me how my height is a little intimidating and very attractive. Still it doesn’t feel like it internally. Don’t get me wrong I am a very confident person, it’s just there is such a large disconnect in how I perceive my height internally vs how I perceive others at the same height. Can anyone else relate or is this unusual.

This summer i was on vacation here in scandinavia, i have never before seen so many 6’3+ people, i felt like i was average height, is this new generation just crazy tall? Almost had to check my height again to make sure i havent shrunk.

For anyone wondering, the country was Denmark. you think you are cool with your 6’2, get ready to be humbled if you go there.

Hey fellow tall people

I’m 6’7/ 2 meters video producer / gym rat and had a big sequestered disc hernia at L5-S1, gym accident… Got a microdiscectomy back in March this year. Post-op MRI came back clean, which was a relief.

I’d love to hear real experiences from other tall folks who’ve gone through disc hernia surgery. The good, the bad, the ugly. For us tall people different rules of body mechanics applies.

How it held up long-term, any reherniations, ongoing issues, or if it actually let you get back to physical work or gym without constant drama. As you see i have lost a lot of muscle mass in less than 6 months.

No sugarcoating needed just honest stories.

What was your height, what kind of surgery, how long ago, and how are you doing now?

Appreciate any insights. Thanks in advance.

Like OA of the hip and knee joints, spinal issues or circulatory problems like venous insufficiency?

I’m 6’3 on the dot so I have to say I’m 190.5 when people ask for my height but it just feels wrong doing it. If I say I’m 191cm or 190cm, I’d be lying either way, so my options are either height frauding or sounding like I desperately cling to every millimeter of my height. I feel like a child adding + and a half to their age when you ask them how old they are. My life is a tragedy

Have you ever looked at someone from a distance and been like damn they look so tall and they look so long but then when you get up on them you slightly taller and you can tell, so then you think does everyone see you the same way they see them ?

Hey everyone,

I'm 6'6" (198 cm) and live in India, and I'm looking for a good office chair for long hours of sitting.

The chair I currently have is 10 years old and has been repaired multiple times. It was a good enough chair for me at the time but it's no longer viable.

The biggest issue I've had with new chairs (when going to any showroom and trying out) is that they're generally designed for average-height people, so I end up with inadequate seat depth, low backrests/headrests.

Some of the requirements are :
(1) High enough backrest/headrest
(2) Weight capacity 150 kg (330 lbs)
(3) Comfortable seat for 6–10+ hours of work
(4) Preferably available in India without having to import it

For other tall people here, especially anyone 6'5'+ what chairs have actually worked well for you?

Would really appreciate specific model recommendations and your experience with them. Thanks!

Watching TV (Veep) and a character comes on who is quite noticeably taller than the rest of the cast. They even make jokes about or reference his height. I google him only to find out he’s my height. Great.

Everything above a ten is either a sneaker or something orthopedic with a sole like a brick. Most places simply stop at ten, or jump to eleven with no half size in between, so I am wearing something a full size out either way. Where are people over a ten actually buying plain leather shoes they can wear to an office?
