I hate it, no matter where i go, wherever i am, people look at me and say " look how tall he is", people laugh on my height, some people ask me to give em some inches from my height. I don't have any choice in clothes and shoes, because my size is not available most of the time, my head bumps into doors and other things all the time. Sometimes i feel like giant when people stare at me or my friends make fun of my height. So is it me or every tall person face similar problems?

im 6'4 b/w.

Is 6'4" (193 cm) actually considered too tall? I would think that 180..195 falls into the "normal" range (for men) :wacko:

Well, I'm 5'8" (sub 180 cm)... and my spine's f*cked up so I appear even shorter. I could do with a bit more. Or medical breakthrough spine straightening.

For now I think I'll get high-heels and afro haircut :(

I'm 6'4" as well and it's not terribly common that people mention it. When I was younger people would mention it fairly often, but now not so much.

Im 20, studying. Tallest in my college.

Never have any issues finding clothes though.

Man, im moving to US thn, very limited choice if you are 6+. Specially in shoes, most of the time, shops have only 1 model, with weird colors or just plain white.

I'm around 6'2" or 6'3" depending on if I'm standing up straight, and I have a couple friends that are taller than me (like 6'4" to 6'7" ish). Now that I'm older, it's rare that anyone mentions my height. However, if I see someone that's taller than me, and makes me feel short, I may say something lol.

when i see someone taller than me, it feels good, makes me happy that im normal.

I'm 6ft 5 and don't mind it! The girls love height :)

It depends on area where you live, Only mature girls like my height, Girls of my age or younger than me avoid tall people.

Must be a cultural thing. Here, women definitely tend to prefer taller guys. Then again, I'm the opposite. I tend to shy away from tall girls. Just something about them doesn't feel right lol. But I'm opening up (as long as she's not taller than me).

The tallest girl i have dated was 5'8. She was basketball player. I like tall girls, but not skinny ones.

I'm 6'1" and I'm often called tall though I am shorter than quite a few people I know. I think I am at the perfect height for things, my shoe size is 12 or 13 which is inside the "Common enough that we carry them, and everyone makes them" range. The problem I do find is that either pants are too long for me 34" or too short for me 31-32" I need like 33". But here being tall isn't classified as weird unless you are like 8ft

5'11" - 6'2" really seems to be the golden range for men. Taller is generally considered freakish, and shorter is well... shorter.

I'm glad I am 6'. as I don't get any crap for being either. Only time I was really abnormally tall was in 5th grade when I reached my full height lol.

Im 5 ft 1" . People never move to a side when walking, I always have to give way.

People sometimes don't see me, or don't hear me cos I'm so low down.

Would love to be tall.

The grass isn't greener on the other side

You a "little person" or just short?

I guess it is culturally different here, tall people in Canada are not any different from short people or any other height.

Shouldnt worry too much, what else can you do, accept it and embrace it.

Yes it is very difficult to find clothing for us tall people but thats just another step you have to do to find it.

Good luck.

5'1" is short, anything under 4'10" is considered a midget, and it's also the shortest a man can be and join the Army

Midgets would be a powerful weapon. Like Oddjob on Goldeneye N64, no one was ever allowed to pick him because he was harder to hit. They could also fit into small tunnels and be virtually undetectable as offensive scuba divers. Do not underestimate a midget army! They might not be the vanguard, but trained in the art of sabotage, they are a force to be reckoned with. Ninja midgets.

I've never minded the height, though you just have to get used to hearing the phrase "Could you grab that for me please?". I'm 6'4" (technically I'm a touch under), but the only real time I found it bothered me a bit was when I was younger. I went through my growth spurts early and was my full height by 9th grade at least, but over the years people have caught up to me.

Like you said though, it varies from culture to culture though. In North America I've found my height to be fairly normal, or at least nothing too tall compared to most I see walking around but visiting certain countries I definitely stick out like a giant. Personally I'd rather be taller than most as opposed to being shorter; mainly comes down to i prefer being taller than the girls I date.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
