What you consider tall OP? I am 5-11 bare foot, am I average or tall?

6'5"... the cleavage thing is amazing. It's such a view from up here.

Can't fly regular coach. Gotta spring for the econ+ or i am dead. leg room is a bitch, but I'll take it in a theater knowing I am blocking the person behind me with no fear of being blocked.

Being 6'8", I can say being really tall completely sucks. Nothing fits. Cars? Don't fit. Clothes? Hahaha. Houses and furniture? Yeah, they don't fit either.

yes, being tall rules.

my GF is 5'8" which is fairly tall for a woman.

I do have an exGF that is 5'11". :eek:

Meh I'm 5'6" and it's never bothered me. I just tend to climb or use step stools more often. :p I'd rather be short than freakish tall. 6' is probably the "perfect" height, anything after that is diminishing returns but I'm happy where I am. Short people live longer, so there's that.

This is what being 7'2" would be like (according to a post on Reddit). It's like being on a freaking extension ladder! lol

Imagine all the spiderewbs you get in the face too. Wonder what the weather is like up there though. May as well change all the light bulbs while you're up there. :p

Hand and wiener size can make a tall man a manlet. There are certainly mitigating factors here.

Pffft, like I would know. I'm a 5'8" manlet with disturbingly small feet (they've shrunk from when I was in high school I swear; I'm 35 now). FML

I'm glad this thread came back around. Its important for the shorts to be constantly reminded how much better we are than they are
