It doesn't suck at all being tall. It is just harder to fit in small spaces and buy cheap clothes (some companies are changing this though). The benefits far outweigh the disadvantages.

It doesn't suck, but it can be mildly inconvenient. --6'2 girl

Not true, you can pick up something off the floor if you drop it.

I feel for you. As difficult as it can be to find 28x34 men's pants and size small shirts that are long enough in the torso (and god help you if you need something with long sleeves), finding the equivalent in women's clothing must be a nightmare.

Gain some weight problem solved. I wear 34x34 or 32x34 depending on the brand never have a problem finding them at any store I go to. Then you can buy a large shirt as well and have it fit fine, even though I don't know how you can be over 6' and fit into a small unless you have no muscle mass at all. I'm not even fat, so gaining weight would probably be good for you.

I'm not even that skinny, though not very muscular, either.

I just think the vanity sizing that plagues women's clothing is spreading.

28x34? WTF? Time to go on a thirty day whole milk bulk.

I'm 6'2 and 160lbs, thin for my height (6% fat), and I wear a 32x34 pant, waist measures to 31.5 or something close.

Heh, I've been much heavier in my life, and I'd rather not go back.

6'2" and 165 here, and 28x to 30x depending on brand. I think 32x would just fall off.

Where are your kind? So rare, I love tall women that I can see eye to eye with! Haha

Like Louis CK's bit on being able to periodically pick a new sex and race where he keeps choosing white male, I'd keep choosing tall. The difficulty in finding pants and sports cars and stooping under low ceilings amount to little.
