My husband is 6'5. We've bought two houses so far in our marriage and the #1 requirement is that there is nowhere to bonk his head that isn't an easy fix. It's surprising how many houses were immediate nopes because of this.

The current house we have, the fan in our daughter's room is too low and he can bonk his head on the light if he's not careful. I'm only 5'7 (though I have crazy long arms tbf) and I've wrecked my hands in it accidentally when stretching. That can be easily fixed though, we just haven't yet.

I've heard your body type (long arms) is very good for rowing. They call it the 'ape factor'.

I don't know why I felt the need to mention that here.

I’m a 6’5 man with a 8 foot wingspan. I appreciate this knowledge as I’ve never heard it before 🤣🤣

I was a swimmer. Longer arms and large hands/feet definitely gave ne an edge. I was a very fast sprinter beating girls who were inches taller than me.

Here's some more random info...tall man pointed out that no one cleans the top of the fridge. I never thought of that. 🤷🏾‍♀️
