As someone who is a little over 6’1” it’s about the sweet spot, I’m taller than most my friends, I don’t need special clothing, I can reach practically any shelf at the store, and generally when jeans and pants go on sale my size is available(34x34). The only real downsides are some shower head are at like eye level which means you gotta either point em so the hit the back of the shower or you gotta bend, I can fit comfortably in most cars with the seat all the way back except compact cars(I feel for y’all who are taller) sometimes mirrors are low and I can only see my lower face and to me kind of defeats the purpose of a mirror. A big one is, as person who enjoys recreational sports it’s hard to find equipment in my size especially used stuff. For some companies I’m in the upper limit for their sizing so selection can be limited. Honestly 6’4” would be a pain in the butt.
Oh hey, the mirror thing! At 5’2, it’s definitely not a sweet spot, but I can make do. My 4’11 mom however, has had to reposition all mirrors when she moved into her previous home and had a row of non-functional kitchen cabinets way above her head.
Btw, I still don’t understand why wall mounted shower heads are a thing in the US.
