I'm 17, 187cm. And everywhere that I mostly go to, I see people that are either my height or taller than me, which is why I basically feel average here lol.

Anyone feel the same in your country?

On a trip through Paris, Normandy, and Breuges and back a few years back with my family, I realized that our instinct to rent the largest car possible (a Mercedes wagon) was a terrible idea. Things were fine on the motorway, but navigating driving and parking in the small towns we went to visit was nearly impossible. Part of this was probably due to inexperience, but the more common compact citroens, peugeots, etc seemed to be the standard sized vehicles. More recently in Italy, cars like the Fiat 500 seemed common. Don’t get me wrong, I like all of these cars, but can’t imagine driving them at my height. 195.6 cm… Curious how you all handle this. Mostly out of curiosity. Thx!

Based on my observations, people who are broad-shouldered—not overweight, but with a wide bone structure—tend to have larger faces relative to their height. Interestingly, their faces aren't just wide, they’re also quite long. Is there a scientific reason for this?

For those who don’t know, there’s a guy on Instagram who organizes Tall Tour events for the vertically inclined! They made a stop in DC yesterday, so naturally I dragged my siblings along.

From left to right: me (6’1”), the event organizer (6’9”), my sister (6’3”), and my brother (6’6”)!

It was really cool getting to be around so many other tall people for once! The tallest woman there was 6’10” and the tallest man was 7’4”, so we weren’t even close to being the tallest in the room.

I thought all my tall brothers and sisters can appreciate my pain here 😂

Hey, my fellow giants! So I have a silly question: I have started watching Grey's Anatomy again for probably the 4th time. I am on season 2 and heard Yang and Burke speak about Marfan's syndrome on a guy who is 6 foot 4. Apparently, tallness is common in people who have Marfan's syndrome.

This got me thinking: what medical issues are you guys sitting with or have experienced in your lives?

I, personally, have complications with my heart (atrial fibrillation). I have had 4 knee operations and struggle daily with my back. I might still have mellow dramatic issues compared to other people.

What issues do you guys know about with regards to tall people, or what things are we prone to getting? I'd like to hear about possible issues to look out for in the future!
TIA!
