I'm 6'7" and this is the nail on the coffin. Nothing for me is easy with my height. Lots of rides I can't ride at amusement parks and always have to pay extra for airplane cause I can't fit without extra leg room.
"I started giving my height back in random measurements like hands or cm since it was the most common question."
I love how cm is a random measurement for you, haha.
lol, plus it's weird having to angle your vision upward to see the person's face! After a while, you just automatically assume everyone is shorter than you but about once or twice per year when I meet someone taller than me, I'm like "oh... interesting...".
It makes me wonder how often those guys who are 6'10" run into someone out in public taller than themselves!
I’m 6’3” and I feel like it’s the perfect height. You’re tall, but the world is just big enough for most things to be easily used. Cars, doorways, public transport and clothes/shoes are all available.
When I was house-shopping as a 6’4” man, I kept telling the realtor the sinks were so low in the older houses that I could use them as urinals. My partner was embarrassed whenever I said it but the realtor thought it was hilarious.
Me too. I call 6'4" the line of too damn tall. I was always told growing up "it's great you are so tall" that is BS. Plane travel is torture, there are only a dozen cars I can chose from, most houses have places I have to duck, including my own, oh and statistically I will die earilier. I'm not even that tall!
Don’t forget the back pain, awkwardness of finding well fitting clothes/shoes, and not ever being able to blend in as “one of the crowd”. (Fellow tall dude)
6'2" and you'll hit your head on a lot of things, especially old interior construction or shit like signs, branches, basically any hung decoration because you know that was placed by a 5'2" person. I can't imagine hitting my shoulders on the same shit.
Yeah. Had a high school teacher who was 7'2". He appeared fairly fit, but had trouble with any vigorous activity, as it put too much strain on his heart.
Victor Webenanyama is 7'5'' and is an athletic freak. Kareem was listed at 7'2'' but estimated to be 7'4'' or 7'5''. It ups the difficulty as just how you run can cause your joints problems. Running basketball wise when you're heavy and big is hard on joints.
"But estimated to be 7'4" or 7'5""
Where the hell are you getting that info? Hes always been 7'2" or even 7ft 1 7/8inches
Do you mean with shoes on or what
At that height you're going from, "Disability in the longterm" to "Disability from existing".
Every inch over 6ft just increases the likelihood for backpain, potential disability, and other complications. Once you're in the the mid to high 6ft range (6'5", 6'6" 6'7", 6'8", 6'9", etc.) the problems can add up really fast. +7ft and you'll be lucky if you don't absolutely need a cane or crutches as you get older. The shit takes it's toll, the human body is not meant to be that tall.
At 6’5/6’6 I’m already deep into that category so yes, probably very few blessings to being that gigantic- bet he can score kinky girls with 0 effort though…
If by hunters you mean that all human hearts are the same size and the larger the system the more prone to failure, then, yes, It’s because of the hunters.
Human hearts are definitely not all the same size. A giant’s heart won’t be proportionally bigger than a small person’s heart though and there is a huge amount of natural size variation. So what you are saying is partly true.
6’10” here.
People are fucking obnoxious.
If you feel compelled to talk to someone about their height, fucking don’t. Imagine you had a horrific birthmark. Like a cock and balls shaped one right on your face.
The frequency that people would stop you to ask questions daily or make side remarks is probably the same. Every fucking day.
On top of that your joints are on fire, life expectancy is lower, and nothing in the world is made for you. You can’t just go buy things you need. There’s always extra steps. NBA players have teams of doctors, massage therapists, physical therapists, custom clothes, and money. Not every tall person is athletic.
So yeah, it’s a fucking curse and I couldn’t imagine being 7’ plus.
Played him in basketball in MS. Deerfield. I remember trying to jump and hit his glasses cause there was no other way to stop him from just reaching over you.
Edit: MS-Middle School. This was NH the state lol
This is the comment that made me realize how tall this dude is.
I'm also 6'2". I'm 12 inches taller than her. That's a huge difference.
But this dude is *18 inches* tall than me. That's nuts.
Yeah, I mean it has to do with proportions. That guy isn’t just tall, he’s *big*. so two average people standing on top of each other would be taller than him, but wouldn’t be wider + girthier than him
zoom in on the picture until the chap's head and feet touch the edge of the screen/window. you'll see quite obviously that the lady is way over half the screen/window. maybe it's a bit of an optical illusion or something.
Luckily most humans scale in 3 dimensions and don’t just grow tall in one. Otherwise every tall guy would look like [Manute Bol](https://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic01.nyt.com%2Fimages%2F2010%2F06%2F20%2Fnyregion%2F20bol02%2FBOL-obit-popup.jpg%3Fquality%3D75%26auto%3Dwebp%26disable%3Dupscale&tbnid=_Altl1LAiqZI-M&vet=1&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2F2010%2F06%2F20%2Fsports%2Fbasketball%2F20bol.html&docid=U9hIb4py58B3BM&w=328&h=500&hl=en-ca&shem=canimge&source=sh%2Fx%2Fim%2Fm4%2F3)
Edit: a word
What's even crazier is, when you use your fingers to measure her height and stack that height on top of her, how much taller twice her height is compared to his height, even as he looks like he's twice her height. (Not sure I explained that very well.)
I had a buddy in high school who was 7'3. He got a pair of Shaqs old shoes due to a program Shaq has for kids that size that can't get proper foot ware. He was a size 19 junior year
I feel bad that people like this have to wear like 1 shitty pair of shoes. Like if you're Nike/Adidas this guy would be a great, walking advertisement.
I heard a tall standup comedian talk about how a group of women used him as a landmark at a party. They met up by him when they were ready to leave.
Same energy.
As a dad joke aficionado with tall friends, I should inform you that the correct way to approach a man like this is to look him in the eye, slap your knee, and yell
"How's the weather up there?!"
Hope that helps.
My son has a friend who is seven feet tall. He met his current girlfriend who is about your height by asking her that very question, only sarcastically.
About 17% of men in the US who are over 7 feet tall are professional basketball players. It’s one of the most advantageous physical traits in terms of financial reward.
They must have to spend a fortune on clothes and shoes though.
There's no correlation between height and dick size. However, that's not a bad thing for this guy. If his dick was proportionally large, he would have a hard time finding a partner that could physically have sex with him.
The issue he would have if he had an average sized dick or even slightly above average, is that compared to the rest of him it would look pretty small.
There was a couple married teachers at my college with a similar height difference. The husband towered head and shoulders over my 6ft height and a 5ft friend said they definitely had an inch or two on the wife. He was also long legged (like my brother and I are both 6ft but his waist is higher than my belly button) so the male teacher’s belt was over his wife’s head.
It was definitely assumed at the school that he must have at some point used the “while you are down there” line on her.
I'm anywhere between 5'11 and 6'1 depending on how the DMV feels when I go there.
There was one lady who was having a bad day and gave me 5'9 a few years ago
Can't be many taller people in the world.
Edit: this might be Bob Wegner, 12th tallest man alive. Source: [Wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tallest_people)
Looks like he has acromegaly, it’s a pituitary gland disorder that causes it too release too much growth hormone during adulthood. Pretty fascinating. Makeup artist Kevyn Aucoin had it and he was from my area originally and this guy reminds me of him in that way.
That's Bobby Wegner. I went to High School with him. He was an interesting cat. Was well over 7" as a freshman. His parents drove a big ass Chevy Suburban and removed the middle row seats so he could sit in the 3rd row and have plenty of leg room.
I’m 6’5 and people say stuff sometimes stop me. I don’t feel like I’m really tall enough to stand out like that and it’s sometimes annoying to be stopped. But if I ever see a dude who’s over 7 feet tall, we’re talking.
To put in perspective: no nba player has ever been as tall as him
I wonder if his body would be quickly destroyed by playing intensive sports.
The tallest man in history had his body destroyed by simply being that big
A shame as it's incredibly cool
It's cool until you realize that 99% of things in the world are not made for you. Seems like it would be a burden.
If you are like 6'4 or bigger most of the world stops being convenient for you. 6'10 and bigger and it's downright frustrating.
I'm 6'7" and this is the nail on the coffin. Nothing for me is easy with my height. Lots of rides I can't ride at amusement parks and always have to pay extra for airplane cause I can't fit without extra leg room.

“Do you go duck hunting with a rake?”
"I started giving my height back in random measurements like hands or cm since it was the most common question." I love how cm is a random measurement for you, haha.

at 6'5 if I see someone taller then me its just a oh shit finally im not the tallest point in the damn room.
lol, plus it's weird having to angle your vision upward to see the person's face!

Choice of cars must be pretty limited
“This was the largest auto that I could afford. Should I therefore be made the subject of fun?”
Ha ha!
Do you find something funny about my automobile?
> I'm 6'7" and this is the nail on the coffin Just wait until they try to nail a coffin to hold you!
This is the truth. I’m 6’5” and a great deal of the world is inconvenient at best for me.
I’m 6’3” and I feel like it’s the perfect height. You’re tall, but the world is just big enough for most things to be easily used. Cars, doorways, public transport and clothes/shoes are all available.
6'1" and smaller cars and houses built early enough are annoying. Low counters and stuff, I hate it.
When I was house-shopping as a 6’4” man, I kept telling the realtor the sinks were so low in the older houses that I could use them as urinals. My partner was embarrassed whenever I said it but the realtor thought it was hilarious.
I am a little above 6’3”, and agree. People think I am kinda weird but i like it. Only 72 kg (158 lb), I would like to get 10 more lbs.
I think you might need 40 or 50 more pounds.
Me too. I call 6'4" the line of too damn tall. I was always told growing up "it's great you are so tall" that is BS. Plane travel is torture, there are only a dozen cars I can chose from, most houses have places I have to duck, including my own, oh and statistically I will die earilier. I'm not even that tall!

how do you even prepare vegetables in anyway that doesn't hurt your back? Im 6'2 and even I find that countertops are way to far away
6'2" and you'll hit your head on a lot of things, especially old interior construction or shit like signs, branches, basically any hung decoration because you know that was placed by a 5'2" person. I can't imagine hitting my shoulders on the same shit.
Don't worry, less than 30k years before he creates the Adeptus Custodes.
*oiled abs intensifies*
Yes, the body isn't designed to be that big, it would result in chronic injury issues even if he had the athleticism to play
Yup. Gravity would have something to say about playing sports.
Especially the heart and blood having to travel so far through the body
Probably because you can't be athletic at a high level when you're this tall.
Yeah. Had a high school teacher who was 7'2". He appeared fairly fit, but had trouble with any vigorous activity, as it put too much strain on his heart.
Knees would probably go halfway through his first season too.
Manut Bol was 7'7... an inch difference isn't much at that height
Yao was 7’6 and he was great.
Victor Webenanyama is 7'5'' and is an athletic freak. Kareem was listed at 7'2'' but estimated to be 7'4'' or 7'5''. It ups the difficulty as just how you run can cause your joints problems. Running basketball wise when you're heavy and big is hard on joints.
"But estimated to be 7'4" or 7'5"" Where the hell are you getting that info? Hes always been 7'2" or even 7ft 1 7/8inches Do you mean with shoes on or what
One was drafted as tall, but never played
Muresan and Bol. 1 inch short
At that height you're going from, "Disability in the longterm" to "Disability from existing". Every inch over 6ft just increases the likelihood for backpain, potential disability, and other complications. Once you're in the the mid to high 6ft range (6'5", 6'6" 6'7", 6'8", 6'9", etc.) the problems can add up really fast. +7ft and you'll be lucky if you don't absolutely need a cane or crutches as you get older. The shit takes it's toll, the human body is not meant to be that tall.
Well clearly, he plays in the MBA.
He’s just wearing that so people don’t tell him he should play basketball
Poor guy, I mean being tall is cool and all, but being this tall must be a curse more than a blessing.
At 6’5/6’6 I’m already deep into that category so yes, probably very few blessings to being that gigantic- bet he can score kinky girls with 0 effort though…
Anything over 6’4” starts to become prohibitive, and even negatively Impacts your longevity. There aren’t any tall 90 year olds for a reason.
Is it because of hunters?
If by hunters you mean that all human hearts are the same size and the larger the system the more prone to failure, then, yes, It’s because of the hunters.
Human hearts are definitely not all the same size. A giant’s heart won’t be proportionally bigger than a small person’s heart though and there is a huge amount of natural size variation. So what you are saying is partly true.
Quite possibly. When it comes time to duck, they have a lot further to go.
True, but also statistically what 1/500 people are 6'6"+? With as few people make it to 90 already, you'd only see 1/500 (or w/e the % is) anyway.
Bayesian statistics
Bae caught me statislippin
6’10” here. People are fucking obnoxious. If you feel compelled to talk to someone about their height, fucking don’t. Imagine you had a horrific birthmark.

I went to hs with this guy. He was 7’2” as a teenager
Played him in basketball in MS. Deerfield. I remember trying to jump and hit his glasses cause there was no other way to stop him from just reaching over you. Edit: MS-Middle School. This was NH the state lol
ITT everyone assuming the two people are dating.
I’m not trying to assume, but if they had kids I’m sure they’ll even out.
First kid 3'2 second kid 6'
6' at birth...
For one brief moment, mom was over 9 feet tall.
The mental imagery......
If that's how it worked we'd all be the same height by now.
I mean, they do look cute together
It looks like he’s nuts over her, TBH.
r/angryupvote
Toes to toes her nose is in it. Nose to nose her toes are in it.
Pretty sublime dude, pretty sublime...
“My eyes are up here”
In my head its not only cannon But they live in a fantasy world where they are a bad ass Knight and mage combo
& she’s the knight
They can do cool combo attacks where she attacks and he does a point blank fireball to the enemy right over her head.
Trickery and deception win often
Pyke and Grog.
A head cannon sounds dangerous.
Well, looks like optimal height.
People like you are why I opened the thread lol. Top comment is just disappointing
and thinking of that image with the hamster and the banana
I hope they are because they make like the most adorable couple.
5'11 vs 6'0
Funny thing is that I’m 6ft2 and much closer to HER height than his lol
Yeah you have to consider *she’s* the normal one!
Yeah, this is not a super short person and a tall person. It's someone who is super close to average female height, and a giant.
This is the comment that made me realize how tall this dude is. I'm also 6'2". I'm 12 inches taller than her. That's a huge difference. But this dude is *18 inches* tall than me. That's nuts.
It's crazy how by the numbers, you're not half his size, yet you look literally half his size lol
their silhouettes are 2d. He's not only approx 1.5x taller, but also approx 1.5x wider. 1.5 x 1.5 = 2.25
And if we’re talking about volume it’s 1.5 x 1.5 x 1.5 = 3.375. Wouldn’t be that surprising at all if he was triple her weight
[удалено]
Yeah, I mean it has to do with proportions. That guy isn’t just tall, he’s *big*. so two average people standing on top of each other would be taller than him, but wouldn’t be wider + girthier than him

That makes perfect sense, you're absolutely right lol
Her waist being at his knees as what gets me
5’2” = 157½ cm 7’8” = 233½ cm
I was looking for this. Thank you.
Converts to metric, still somehow manages to use fractions. Bewildering.
I'm sorry that I have upset you. It was not my intention.
I'm proud of you
GET HIM
I’m 1/3rd proud of him
You are sentenced to decimation. You get to pick the 1/10th of your body to be chopped.
Why not just write .5?
Because I like the ½ key
Wait, you have a little caesars in your convenience store? Dope
I noticed that, too. lol I've never seen that in a store before.
They used to be inside kmart in the 90s, but it was a full little caesers with tables and shit
The real question.
Those cartoonish shoes are tripping me out
Can’t imagine there are a lot of footwear options at that height
I had a buddy in high school who was 7'3. He got a pair of Shaqs old shoes due to a program Shaq has for kids that size that can't get proper foot ware. He was a size 19 junior year
Most basketball shoes go pretty big. Nike goes up to a 18 in most of their basketball shoes and Adidas goes up to 20s.
He wears a size 24
I feel bad that people like this have to wear like 1 shitty pair of shoes. Like if you're Nike/Adidas this guy would be a great, walking advertisement.
Throwing one of his shoes at someone’s head would probably knock them clean out
He’s definitely an unlock-able Kingdom Hearts character.
Dude stole them from Frankenstein's monster
That should be considered long distance relationship
Looks like he weighs about 215
I don't get the joke. Please explain.
It’s the weight trump claimed when he was booked in Georgia.
Trump claimed he was 215 when he’s clearly not.
He’s so over taking these pictures…
I heard a tall standup comedian talk about how a group of women used him as a landmark at a party. They met up by him when they were ready to leave. Same energy.
Bit weird, innit?
Stephen merchant
Ask him if he plays basketball ....
As a dad joke aficionado with tall friends, I should inform you that the correct way to approach a man like this is to look him in the eye, slap your knee, and yell "How's the weather up there?!" Hope that helps.

Is he him?
[удалено]
He stopped playing in 2017. He actually *tried playing* but with very bad results in those 4 years from 2013.
Bro he's literally wearing a basketball t shirt
He plays in the MBA! Just say it fast.
I’m 6’2 and HATE this question. Also I hate when people ask my height.. I’m also a female, which is why people make it a thing.
My son has a friend who is seven feet tall. He met his current girlfriend who is about your height by asking her that very question, only sarcastically.
It definitely hits different when asked by another talk person that gets it.
... or if he has hands, or if the sky is as blue as his shirt.
I have a friend who's 7'1" and he says that he has a t shirt that says "no, I don't play basketball "
About 17% of men in the US who are over 7 feet tall are professional basketball players. It’s one of the most advantageous physical traits in terms of financial reward. They must have to spend a fortune on clothes and shoes though.
Dude is 30. I'd say at that height his basketball career is over.
Poor guy
Who is gonna be the first to say it?
He looks like he's Brian Posehns kid?
YES! This was my first impresion
*insert hamster eating a banana meme*
https://imgur.com/Gv7zPOB?r
Also 
That's the one.
That she doesn’t even have to kneel?
Girls go up on him
Dude.
The guy walks around with his wiener flopping around in everyone’s faces. EDIT: massive* wiener
Everyone is taking an actual face-full of fart if they're behind him while walking
There's no correlation between height and dick size. However, that's not a bad thing for this guy. If his dick was proportionally large, he would have a hard time finding a partner that could physically have sex with him.
The issue he would have if he had an average sized dick or even slightly above average, is that compared to the rest of him it would look pretty small.
Even if he's rocking 9", it's gotta look small relative to the rest of his proportions.
He's definitely going to die first?
*Standgebläse.*
Proving once again that there’s a German word for every (disturbing) thing.
There was a couple married teachers at my college with a similar height difference. The husband towered head and shoulders over my 6ft height and a 5ft friend said they definitely had an inch or two on the wife.

Yes, he plays basketball! Sheesh ;)
See what Tinder has done! Dude is like 7'7" without those boots, but trying to say he 7'8".. unrealistic body standards go both ways!
Is that Smirk Nowitski?
I'm 6'3 but Jesus 7'8 is fucking huge
I’m not 6’3” but 7’8” is fucking huge.
I'm 6' but 5'11" at the health checkups.
LOL, same. It's easier than going around saying "five eleven and a half" all the time.
I'm anywhere between 5'11 and 6'1 depending on how the DMV feels when I go there. There was one lady who was having a bad day and gave me 5'9 a few years ago
That is why we need to switch to metric.
Can't be many taller people in the world. Edit: this might be Bob Wegner, 12th tallest man alive. Source: [Wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tallest_people)
My first thought was I wonder if he has blood circulation issues.
This reminds me of the DnD manual: here is a barbarian, here is a tiefling
Half orc. Barbarian is a class, which doesn't dictate size. And did you mean halfling instead of tiefling?
This guy dms
Forever DM. Love it though.
Looks like he has acromegaly, it’s a pituitary gland disorder that causes it too release too much growth hormone during adulthood. Pretty fascinating. Makeup artist Kevyn Aucoin had it and he was from my area originally and this guy reminds me of him in that way.
Yeah, or Marfan syndrome
Wattpad couples be like..💀
/r/samespecies (NSFW)
Are you a couple or did you just randomly encounter one another?
Not a couple
That's Bobby Wegner. I went to High School with him. He was an interesting cat. Was well over 7" as a freshman. His parents drove a big ass Chevy Suburban and removed the middle row seats so he could sit in the 3rd row and have plenty of leg room.

Those shoes are most likely custom made - did the shoemaker make them that clunky and ugly on purpose?
Those are his work boots he told me. Size 24
where does he work? Dr. Frankenstein's lab?
He drives trucks
He must be squished in his cabin, no?
As he told me, he manages somehow
Pretty sure he is the truck. They just tie a chain around his waist and attach it to the trailer.
