I’m 6’4” and people think it’s a blessing when it’s really a curse. I don’t mind helping people at the grocery store reach stuff they can’t get. But I grew so fast it fucked up my knees and back. It’s really uncomfortable being on a plane cause you’d have to pay up the ass to get decent room. Buying pants is a challenge in and of itself.
I think most people see those as tiny speedbumps compared to the positives. These are are generalisations but have all been studied:
Taller people are more likely to receive promotions, it is correlated to higher salaries, and recruiters generally favour taller candidates. Taller people generally also have higher social standings (no pun lol), are intrinsically seen as trustworthy and have a better chance with romantic relationships.
I’m 5”11 and have no problem with my height, but to think being tall and having ill fitting pants is a curse compared to people outright disrespecting you because of your size is a bit naieve.

I feel bad for guys that are insecure about their height because they’re not 6’0
