Tall People

[scaryjim]

I'd've thought at 6' 5" you get them in the neck more than the face? At 6' 2" I tend the get the edges in my eyes.

And everyone knows that, heightwise, a quarter of an inch is a huge amount. I've not yet met anyone shorter than 5' 6" who *didn't* have a quarter or half inch they were proud of (oo-er missus)...

I hate being called Tall

I thought the ideal was tall, dark and handsome? One out of three ain't bad (as I always say, being 6' 1", having something of a 'roman nose' and being whiter than the average washing machine... I have been asked if I bathe in Daz before)

People think they are compensating for tall people by putting it up higher.



It doesn't work.

6'5" here btw, it's awful walking down the street and getting pelted in the face by the edges of umbrellas.

I get that - and standing up at the back of a bus hurts too!

I spend a lot of time looking at mens nipples.

That belongs on another thread, possibly on another site. Lofty raised this topic on the issue of height. Lets try and keep to the subject.

Zak have you considered developing a hunch?

Trying standing up upstairs on a bus at all! When the kids drag us upstairs I have to crick my neck sideways and bend over to get off the bus. No wonder my back's gone...

I feel your pain

Also, try finding a girl that you don't break your neck kissing, and finding friends who can hang their lightshades at a reasonable height, especially those glass pointy ones.

Of course, when 3 of your friends are all over 6'4, why the hell does the non drinker have to buy a 3 door fiesta? I DONT FIT IN THE BACK OF THOSE!!!!!


/rant off

Its good being tall, I`m 6` 3" and weigh about 17 stone. Im a gentle "Tall" man but some people give me grief and just want to pick a fight when I`m out drinking

Are you my long lost twin? I'm also 6'3" and about 17 stone.

Funny how tall and short are all relative, In the Uni rowing club I was short, at home I'm considered tall but the gf says I'm perfect!

5'11" here, not too tall but my other half is like 5' and fits in the kitchen cupboard..
Figured I'd let her out for her birthday though.

You're all a bunch of lanky b******s

5'10 here. My friend who is 6'5 got stared at all the time in Japan it was great. Went over to some of the girls who were just looking and I said in my best engrish accent "Gorrzilla" and pointed at my friend

I hate being called Tall. 6'1" is longer body length than average, but being called "tall" is offensive.

Short arse. Better?

6'3" here
