Well...
...I'm 6'7"....and for most of my life (been this height since 15..almost 35 yrs..weighed 135 at that age..about 100lbs heavier now)..I've been looked on as an oddball...a freak show of sorts...and to a certain extent..I guess I am.. When I hit my late 20's..I found I was more comfortable with it than I was in my youth. Sometimes when people said "OMG, you are tall" I was tempted to say back to them "OMG you are fat/ugly/stupid/short"....or whatever description fit but I have always been too nice a guy for that...I know Luv has a real thing for tall guys,but overall..most women in society don't(tall meaning 6'5plus)...As I've matured..ok aged...I really am totally comfortable with who I am physically..and either you like me or you don't ..no lost sleep over it anymore
Pros??....intimidating, people for the most part will not mess with me, even though I am a teddy bear, and probably only average strength...but with this height..average strength has been tough for shorter people to handle in those situations where I have been physically threatened
No one ever forgets who you are once they meet you ...though sometimes you wish they would..
Cons??....I'm on the edge of custom clothes..a lot of times when there are sales, it's not on jeans with 38 inseam...or the shiorts with extra long sleeves...
the other pros and cons listed on this thread I woud agree with...including the shorter life span...tougher for your heart to pump blood to the etremities as you get older. I'm hoping I beat the odds, my family history is long life,
with a grandfather that was 6'10 that lived to his late 90's with and excellent quality of life til the day he died...if I could be so lucky...
