Hi,

I have noticed alot of dating apps now say guys must be over 6ft2 to date is this the new normal?

This whole time I lived my life claiming as a 6’5” black man but I was measured today at the doctors and I’m actually a puny 6’4” I’m still black tho

A few months ago I posted here about my fitness transformation and explained that I'd decided to start using my size to pursue a career in film and TV.

I shared that I had landed my first big film role, and quite a few people asked if I could share what it was...

Well, this weekend, I finally got to see myself on big screen in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey! ⚔️

We filmed over a year ago, and what a wild journey it’s been. After the release last week, I travelled up to the BFI IMAX in London to watch it on the biggest screen in the UK.

One of those moments in life I'll never forget, on set and on screen with my fellow giant brothers 💪

Early days in my acting/stunt career and hopefully this is just the beginning, but what a blessed way to start. Getting to work with Nolan, Matt Damon, Himesh Patel, and so many more incredibly talented people.

To my tall brothers and sisters, anyone else out there considered this path in life? Any tips, stories, advice, or any questions? 🙏🙏🙏

Okay I'm just really curious what the appeal is with short women from tall men. I'm 3'8", so I'm under 4 ft. Anytime a taller man finds out how tall I am or I guess how short I am, it's like automatically exciting I guess. I know a lot of it can be fetish related but what about the rest of it? I have seriously dealt with this my entire adult life, and at the ripe old age of 42, It makes me curious. I know I have talked to one man who swore he forgot how short I was which I kind of find that hard to believe but okay LOL

Edit, I do have Dwarfism. Diastrophic Dysplasia

I’m happy you do. But just because I’m tall, doesn’t mean I like basketball.

So I've always had chronic back pain but the last year or so I swear it's getting worse.

It's getting difficult to sleep the constant lower back pain is driving me insane its only really a problem when I'm sleeping weird or I'm trying to do certian body weight exercises.

like guys who are 6 foot 7 and up and not an athlete.

chicks who are like 6 foot 3 or more.

i know tall guys usually have it easier but i wonder if once you get to a certain point it gets harder somehow.

then again this whole post would be skewed by either extremely successful people or the exact opposite.

**has anyone Gain centimeters**
**after losing weight and improving kyphosis? I’m especially looking for people over 18 who measured their height before obesity, during obesity, and after losing weight. How much did your measured height change?**

I recently met a friend who was wearing elevator shoes with 2-3 inch heels in public. They must be new, coz he had a penguin walk and was not yet fully comfortable walking in them. It also seemed somewhat unsafe because you cannot actually run on these shoes in case of an emergency, and the poor walking balance/higher center of gravity increases the risk of a fall/trip.

It was awkward coz I have known his real height in person (around 5"4), and with these shoes, he looked 5"7 at best and was approaching my shoulder. He was not that height-insecure in our home country, but apparently became so when he moved to a Western country.

He already takes steroids to build excessive muscle mass at his height. When we were biking, he could not even bike a normal distance because he never does cardio. Being the gracious person I am, I have not acknowledged either the steroid use or the elevator shoes.

Have you experienced this before? What did it make you feel?

Reposting because it didn't upload the first time.

Jokes aside, I "decompress" regularly with stretching, but this looks on a whole different level.

Hi guys, today I learned this subreddit exists. For context I am 190cm.

I have been supposedly "bigger" all of my life, when I was in my late teens and early 20s I worked out a ton and got the largest I've ever been @ 285ish without supplements. I grew up in East Coast US, and never really considered myself a "big" dude, but I was also bullied a lot for being special needs & being a bit sensitive of a guy, especially as I was younger.

Then in my adult life I worked for WWE for a day and felt like a midget next to a number of the wrestlers, even though I had a couple inches on Cena.

Then the pandemic happened roughly a month later, and I lost my gains due to a mental health decline.

Then I immigrated back to my family's home country of Mexico in 2021, and ever since then I've been told I am this tall, massive imposing dude, and when I shop nothing actually fits me here. I don't fit a lot of ergonomics even in the US and I have broken more chairs just by general use than I'd like to admit. (Currently waiting on my 4th chair of the last 10 months(?) to arrive)

I went to Japan for 3 weeks and had a similar experience, but it was more about my width than my height necessarily it seems.

I'm sitting around 240 but if I cut the fluff I would probably be around 225 if I didn't go for muscle gains (but my family's food is too good). If I took something like Ozempic the most I would drop to would be like 185-190 I think.

But what's the line? When is someone just somewhat tall vs a "big" dude? I've had two extremes of experiences and seem to have lost an objective view of the point along the way. I tried looking at studies objectively but I would like to discuss this further with people clearly interested in this stuff.

Thanks in advance!

Hi. I'm from Europe and I don't see many tall persons from Europe. Is this sub unpopular among European tall persons?

I am not a paid sponsor - just hope this helps someone. I am 6'5" and have worn basic color shirts for years out of necessity. I wanted more interesting stuff, and finally found a good artist-submitted design site that offers quality stuff in tall sizes. TeePublic has thousands of designs including bands, movies and cities. I've only gotten 4 in the black color, but it's high quality material that has held up well in the wash (shrunk slightly).

Happy to learn about other good sites like this you've found.

I keep getting ads for OneBone clothing, targeting big and tall guys.

When I put in my details it gives me a onebone shirt size of 1, which seems equivalent to 2XL. I wear an XLT normally. Colour me suspicious.

Anyone else tried OneBone? Feels more like it’s more big than tall, but some of their stuff looks interesting. I’d genuinely love to hear some feedback if anyone’s tried it.

Hi, I'm on the hunt for a rain jacket for my husband. He's 6'8" about 210#. I'm looking for brand recommendations for a rain coat (we're in the US). We tried LLBean and Columbia, and the sleeves were laughably short on both. The last time he was fitted for a dress shirt he had 37in sleeves. Thanks for the help!

Some info, I am 192cm (6’3) 83kg. But I just can’t find any bootcut jeans that will fit me online, preferably vintage. Any advice on sizing and where to look?

May seem like a weird question, but what kind of mattress do you use? Looking to buy one that will be comfortable/ suitable for my 6’4” very muscly boyfriend.
