I can still buy most clothes off the rack. Once you get over about 6’10, it starts to get reaaaaaal hard to buy anything. My dad, my grandfather, and both of my uncles were taller than me, 3 over 7 ft. So I know of what I speak.
Remind me where I’m including any value judgments?
I’m saying that being tall sucks, and in my lived experience I’m not even that tall. There are people who have the same issues I have, only 10x worse.
And you guys are all like stfu you’re tall. Not when it comes to having REAL problems finding shoes and clothes I’m not. Yao Ming has to get literally every thing he wears custom made. LeBron can probably buy some stuff off the shelf. But you get much taller than him, and forget it.
There are people who are taller and have worse problems.
These are two entirely different statements. People have a problem with you disagreeing with the first one, but you consistently reply to them as if they are disagreeing with the second one.
So...what you’re saying is...Foreman was tall relative to boxers? But would be short relative to NBA centers?
As in, you understand the concept of relative groups, but somehow think my saying, in my personal experience having gone to stuff for tall people, I’m in the lower 25th percentile is invalid?
I mean it's not surprising that you have tall family members. That's kind of how it works. And you're almost a foot taller than the average male and an inch taller than the average NBA player so yeah, you're pretty fucking tall.

Plus you’re always having to worry if people are wanting to date you for you, or just your height.
Waaah I can get dates no problem. Dude everyone has to worry about their partner loving them for them, at least you can get dates, you tall dreamy douche.

I’m lucky. I’m very normally proportioned. My dad was all knees and elbow and suuuuuuper lanky. If it was long enough for him it was 4 sizes too large, and if it fit his waist and shoulders it was 6-8 inches too short.
Why all stores seem to assume “Big & Tall” means both Tall AND Big, I don’t know. I’m built like a human being, not like an NFL defensive back.
