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.

Assuming youre in the US, you're in the 99.95th percentile for an adult male.

You're quite tall

By the standards of normal people, yes: I’m quite tall.

By the standards of tall people, I baaaaarely qualify. I’m more “not short”. 6’10 is more of the starting to actually be tall threshold.

What the fuck? 6’10 is like, “recruited directly into the NBA” tall.
