Do you think it's a desirability factor or something else? Less children because less desirable?

Having a height of 6 feet is considered very good

I flew with you for the first and last time today, and I want you to know exactly why you’ve lost me for good.

Twelve hours from Vancouver to Taiwan. Somewhere over the Pacific, I asked politely if I could move to an exit row. Not an upgrade. Not a different cabin. Just an exit row seat that was sitting completely empty, along with every other exit row in front of me. Not a single person was in any of them.

You said no. Then you told me that if I wanted the “privilege” of that empty seat, I’d have to hand over more than $250 US. I explained, calmly, that I physically don’t fit in your standard seats. I’m tall. You looked at a grown man in visible discomfort, looked at rows of empty seats, and chose the money.

So let me make sure I understand your policy. If someone is overweight, they can get two free seats. But because I’m tall, something no amount of exercise or dieting will ever change, I get to suffer? That is a shameful double standard and you should be embarrassed by it.

I spent the rest of that twelve hour flight in real pain, cramped and aching, staring at empty seats you refused to let me use. There was no cost to you. There was no reason for it. You just didn’t care.

It's really tough being this tall, sometimes I wish I was shorter so women would stop approaching me and leave me tf alone. I wake up and the first thing I see on my phone is multiple notifications from girls asking me out or flirting with me in a way that just rubs me the wrong way. This wouldn't happen if I was 5'11 or less.
Life sucks and I genuinely cannot take it anymore and yes this is a real issue so do not invalidate my problems!

Hey, I’m 15 and 183cm tall, i play football/soccer and i am currently a fullback. When i was younger i used to play more infront, but i got placed back beacuse i was physically big. I am a really good fullback, but i admire the midfield role alot. I have always tought i can’t be a midfielder if i wanna go pro beacuse of my height. I don’t see alot of midfielders over 194. My technical ability ain’t the best. It’s usable but I’m working alot on technical ability now.

I am chatting with a girl for some time, and the vibes are good, chemistry, she laughs and makes jokes, etc.

Due to several reasons (severe accident, genetics, etc), i am very short (5,1ft)

The only thing that scares me, it seems from the photo she's tall (like 5,6) and i am afraid that might be a dealbreaker.

I don't want to ask her height, because that's akward, and then she will ask mine also.

On the other hand, not mentioning it, so she finds out when meeting in person might kill the moment as well. honestly, Don't know what to do.

I know height isn't the only thing that matters, masculinity, confidence, etc are very important as well, and those are fine,... only my height

Would saying 5,3 instead of 5,1 be bad if she ever asks it?

Or would i just not answer that question....

Any sugestions on how to get along with that, and how to handle the height difference tactful?

Looking forward to hear your respectfull comments

Sufficient or not?

This is especially for tall people that suddenly had a big growth spurt.

How was it and did you notice it? I’m mostly curious about that part of noticing it. I find kinda hard to believe that you js get a noticeable growth spurt and genuinely not notice ( what about clothes ) and also seeing the people you see regularly ( family ) just not noticing that you are taller than them I say this because I’ve heard that a lot “ I didn’t notice “ . I’m genuinely curious thanks! Please only real answers

I’m 6’8 and am curious what do other tall people drive I mean everyday cars/suv I’m
Currently in the market for a new suv and a little onsite might go a long way

Czułem smutek, mimo że myślałem, iż będzie łatwiej. Naprawdę wierzyłem, że nic nie poczuję. Okazało się, że się myliłem.

I szczerze mówiąc, to nawet nie jest smutek. To złość. Złość na samego siebie za to, jaki jestem. Za to, że nie potrafię żyć w spokoju. Że nie potrafię zbudować czegoś trwałego z jedną kobietą. Dlaczego? Może dlatego, że powiedziała mi, iż uważała mnie za tego jedynego – ostatniego.

To mną wstrząsnęło. Mną – tym „twardzielem”. Mną – facetem, który całe życie wmawiał sobie, że nie czuje bólu. Że nic go nie rusza. Że zawsze idzie dalej. To bzdura. To tylko maska, którą noszę od lat. Udaję kogoś takiego przed innymi, a czasem nawet przed samym sobą.

Bo prawda jest taka, że ​​jednak coś czuję. Tyle że nie od razu. Nie wtedy, kiedy powinienem. To przychodzi później. Kiedy wszystko cichnie, kiedy zostaję sam na sam z własnymi myślami. Wtedy to wszystko wraca. Każde słowo, każda chwila, każda zmarnowana szansa. I boli bardziej, niż gdybym po prostu pozwolił sobie to poczuć w tamtym momencie.

Najgorsze jest to, że ona naprawdę byłaby dobrą kobietą. Naprawdę dobrą. Kimś, przy kim można zwolnić, przestać na chwilę walczyć z życiem. I może właśnie to boli najbardziej – nie to, że odeszła, ale fakt, że mogłem mieć u boku kogoś wartościowego, a mimo to nie potrafiłem tego utrzymać.

A teraz siedzę tu z tą złością na samego siebie, bo po raz pierwszy od dawna nie potrafię sobie wmówić, że nic się nie stało. Coś się jednak stało. I cholera… to chyba bolało bardziej, niż chcę przyznać.

in my own house its all good, because its engineered with me in mind, but in other houses i realize that i cant sit comfortably on couches, dining tables and chairs feel too small, and even tho i am skinny, i had to squeeze my shoulders to fit in the door to the bathroom. my dad bought a much bigger car just so i dont complain but i still cant put my legs anywhere and i have to abstain from a big event because i dont want lingering back pain for days.

Like im 5'11 or 181cm, but i get kinda freaked out with tall people. I should be used to it since my dad is 190 and my cousin is around 205, but i still feel so small and weak around tall dudes😭

Kinda like how women are scared of men i get a bit weary around people over 195. Their almost always much stronger than me so if they tried shit i couldn't do much.

Like thin tall dudes don't really scare me but when their bigger like me it's kinda scary

Is this a common problem with people being scared of you just cuz ur physically imposing?

Hi guys
