I was changing this weekend and I stupidly put my hands in the path of our ceiling fan that was on full speed with metal blades. I’ve hit a moving fan with my hands so many damn times but this one was just the cake winner… Only a tall person could break a finger in this stupid way.
Never saw this size on US pants until today. I was stunned. Usually it’s 34/29 and I just grumble. They covered half of my foot, had to try them on.
I’m on an international flight between Australia and the USA on an A380 in Business Class I never want to go back!!!
Hi guys - I’m planning on doing an exchange semester in south east Asia and one of the things I want to do is buy a bunch of shoes
Luckily my shoe size isn’t super big compared to some of you lol (size 12-13 depending on shoe)
I was just wondering what others experience has been in finding shoes in my size as I have seen online that it might be a little hard - trying to plan how much space I should leave in my luggage
My parents renovated our old ancestral house over the past 1 year. I'm 6'6"/198 cms tall. Just look at the size of the doorway in the photo (272 cms)!
Some other tall-friendly features:
Funny thing is that the plumbers and masons were heavily objecting to installing the wash basin and toilet pot at that height. They said, "nobody does this". My parents and brother had to take a strong stance and force them to do it (since I live abroad).
Anyway, I know that this community will appreciate this giant-ready house :')
I kind of fell down a google hole about it. I means “spider fingers” and can just be genetic “normal” or caused by one of many genetic conditions such as Marfans or Beals.
My fingers in particular are actually way more flexible than average, but I’ve never been diagnosed with any connective tissue disorders and my spine is normal so it is weird that they do that.
I just remember my friends saying I had Jack Skellington hands in high school, but the term I’ve heard the most is “piano fingers.”
My finger to palm ratio isn’t as crazy as that other guy’s but I find it interesting! I’ve never even considered my health in context to how my hands look.
Okay so... I started noticing that my fingers are longer than the palm area, and i don't think that's natural, is me being tall somehow related to the way my hand is?
This is Kawhi Leonard's handprint compared to an average woman's hand
Growing up people who are tall like us were always made to feel small, insecure & ashamed about our heights. We get bullied, left out in purpose - all the worst you can think of. I remember all the tall girls in my childhood being made to feel left out or made to feel unworthy & uninvited. Looking back I realised now it was all people’s insecurities, jealousy & envy. Now that I’ve grown up; whenever I see a tall woman who feels bad about her height, I always love to hype them up😍 watching their confidence build up over time is the most beautiful thing ever. Especially when I’m out in public and I see tall women wearing heels, dressing nicely walking around confident & secure within themselves. It’s just so beautiful to see. If you’re a tall woman & you feel insecure about your height! Don’t be, don’t allow people to make you feel insecure or small - display & flaunt yourself with confidence!
It seems like most of cars today have a rearview mirror that blocks a significant portion of the windshield. Sure, I'm a tall guy, but older cars didn't have this problem. Many shorter drivers also prefer to sit higher for a better view of the road, so I can't imagine it's only a tall-person problem.
Modern rearview mirrors are often mounted at a fixed height and hang farther down from the windshield. Older cars frequently used dual-pivot mounts that allowed you to position the mirror much higher or lower. In my old Honda, I could raise the mirror all the way to the headliner. You'd be hard-pressed to find a new car with a dual-pivot rear view mirror.
Modern cars have all the latest "safety systems," but visibility sometimes feels like an afterthought. Am I the only one who notices this?
I'm definitely not tall, I'm close to average as a guy at 173 cm/(5'8) and I have 51 cm/(20") shoulders for example.
I'm curious how other average and tall ppl measure up, and want to find out what shoulder width could be considered average/wide across different heights

Harry Souttar has been on Australia's 2022 and 2026 World Cup team. He has a brother John (6'1"/185cm) that plays soccer/football in Scotland, and is on the Scotland's 2026 World Cup team.
UPDATE: Egypt 4 Australia 2. AUS knocked out of the World Cup.
So I started keto last month cause I wanna lose weight, so far went from 308lbs to 295lbs. I still live with my parents and they keep saying '290lbs is a good healthy weight' but like, idk, I kinda feel like calling BS on that. My goal of weigh loss is like 275lbs but just wanted to ask fellow talls what a healthy weight is. I do very little work outs so idk how much of my weight, is muscle, if any (in a noticeable amount).
I'm a dude btw if that helps.
IDK why I’ve never done this in my outback. I’m usually driving.
Good Morning Everyone! It's currently 1:28am. I have had 4 cold ones. And I just wanted to say why is everybody white males above average or tall. We are facing an extinction of below average/short white males. Because of stastics we have to have short and tall people. But it seems to be only above average tall males. And I am going to get to the bottom of it.
Again good morning from the 250th old USA. Currently in South Carolina where the average is 5'10. So I have a bigger bridge to cross.
Hi! I am 187, 24F.
I keep seeing platform heels EVERYWHERE and I would LOVE to wear them because they look amazing. But I am 187 and am already sticking out everywhere.
I also always get comments about how tall I am and I am scared that if I wear heels itll be even worse.
Once I wore like very small heels (no higher than 5cm) and my students were already shocked😭
Anyone have any tips on how to gain confidence in wearing heels, I wont wear them to work cause its not practical, but with friends or days out or whatever... I would love to.
Any advice is welcome!
