Tall people have problems just as short people, i kind of hate being tall. There something always in my way or it hard to get in certain cars. Clothes are hard to find, and when i do there expensive. people always assume i like being tall but in reality it is a big pain in the butt. Buying shoes to fit and on top of that being clumsy lol. So yes tall people have issues to.

I've just read in the comments how tall you are - you're practically giant! I can see that it could cause a few problems.

Tall people can't fit in our motor-home but I sometimes need a tall person to get things down from shelves.

@hereandthere That is kind of you. Sometimes I'll ask someone to get something down for me but only if they look like they won't mind. :)

Being tall is a big advantage like in repairing lights in high ceiling or picking fruits from tall fruit trees. We usually have to hire somebody to repair lights here in the house because we lack the height to do it ourselves.

@davidalicea100 The issues a tall person suffers are outweighed by the advantages of their being tall.

You need to get a short girlfriend. Then, she can take care of all the things around the bottom of the house, and you can take care of all the things around the top. Also, if you make sure she can sew, then she could also make your clothes. Of course, you would either have to lift her up to kiss her or get down on your knees to do it, but every relationship takes compromise.

I suppose some people love being tall but I'm sure they bump their heads a lot. Some enjoy being short.

I do agree on that. It is also far expensive being tall in terms of buying clothes and pair of shoes is really hard to fit in.

@MARLINA IT is ok to be short me being a tall boxer fighting shorter guys makes me punch downward which causes loss of power. So think of it as a fighters perspective you being short is a good thing lol

I can imagine that it's hard to find clothes and shoes if you are taller than the average.

I hate being short. Clothes aren't really hard to find because I shop in petites most of the time. Chris, my fiance, is tall too.
