I'm 6'4 and have definitely felt some negative effects from being tall. Shoes can sometimes be hard to find (I wear a 13), it's very difficult to find shirts that are long enough, but most of all I have horrible back problems - I have to get epidural injections every 5-6 months because several of my discs are completely degenerated, and I'm only 29. Even with all of this though, I absolutely love being tall and would hate to be short like some of you guys. Seriously, I don't know how you guys make it through each day looking up at people.
I assumed when you started this thread you were 6'5 ++ You're only 1 inch taller than me and I don't feel SUPER TALL like you made yourself tall lollll
At 6'5", I can tell you that travel sucks. Sitting in an airplane for a few hours is torture...and then there is the subcompact rental car they try to get you to take when you reserved a full size sedan.
I'm starting to think the height issue, as far as being able to better attract women, is overemphasized. I would say being short is definitely a detriment to attracting women, but I wouldn't say that being exceptionally tall yields a significant positive advantage over those of average heigh. Being tall would open up your dating pool because girls that are 5'8+ would likely prefer a taller guy over a guy of average (5'9") height, so that is the one big positive. However, if a 5'9" guy and a 6'5" guy are going after a 5'4" girl, I don't necessarily think it matters so much that it gives that taller guy a strong advantage.
