To all the Redditors over 6’3″, what are some challenges you face due to your height?
Being tall definitely has its perks, but there are some downsides too! Here are a few things that might suck about being over 6’3″:
Finding Clothes: It can be a challenge to find clothes that fit well. Many brands don’t cater to taller sizes, and when they do, it often comes at a premium price.
Hitting Your Head: Door frames, low ceilings, and overhanging objects become a constant hazard. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve bumped my head!
Leg Room: Airplane seats, cars, and even some public transportation can be cramped, making long trips uncomfortable.
Attention: Sometimes, being tall draws unwanted attention, whether it’s stares, comments, or being asked to play basketball (even if you’re not interested).
Height Stereotypes: There’s often this stereotype that tall people should always be good at sports or that they’re naturally intimidating, which can be annoying.
Group Photos: In group photos, I’m usually the one awkwardly trying to bend down or crouch to avoid towering over everyone.
Personal Space: Some people seem to think that being tall means you’re “available” for hugs or other close interactions, which can feel intrusive.
Back Pain: Poor ergonomics in a world designed for average heights can lead to back and joint pain over time.
Furniture: Regular-sized furniture can be uncomfortable. Chairs and beds may not always accommodate long legs comfortably.
Finding a Partner: Some people have height preferences, which can make dating a little tricky.
Overall, while being tall can be great in many ways, there are definitely some unique challenges that come with it!
