Questions/Advice I think we’re all aware on how being vertically gifted as a women comes with height shaming by society that forces you to believe that you are “too tall” I wanted to ask if this is also true for vertically gifted men (6’5”+/195cm+) were you ever discriminated in a bad way for your height?

Rant POV: You finally find a clothing brand for tall people… and the pants start at $70+ 😒
Noo, because why is this shit so exhausting? 😭 I’m genuinely tired of it. It’s either they claim they make clothes for tall people, but the sizing is so weird. Like, why is the 37” inseam only available in an XL, while the medium and large stop at a 33” inseam?
And don’t even get me started on the classic, “I grew up tall and had no clothes, so I started a company for tall people.”
…Then proceeds to sell polyester with terrible sizing for $70+… just for the pants. Be so fr. Bruh!! 🥴

Discussion Slender Frame
galleryWonder if anyone here is as slender as me. I’m 6 3 and almost 200 pounds but my frame is just so slender my genetics don’t allow my arms to get much bigger all the weight goes to my gut. 6.25 inch wrists and 8.5 inch ankles.

Rant One size fits all *but not if you’re tall
Anyone else just get unreasonably angry anytime they see things labeled “One size fits all”.
It annoys me every single time. I get that it literally fits about 95% of people out there, but being tall - I’m not in that 95%
Wanted to get an automatic inflation life jacket. Every single one at Bass Pro - one size fits all.
I think Grainger carries a big and tall one. Something like $400 - got to pay that TALL premium after all…

Discussion Does anyone else hate when people are taller than them?
Im fairly tall 6’1 so most people I’m taller than, but then every once in awhile there’s someone that’s significantly taller than me. I hate when that happens I like being the tallest man in the room. Is anyone else still insecure like that? haha

Questions/Advice Are tall guys naturally stronger, or just bigger?
How much does being tall actually affect physical strength? I’ve often heard from tall men that it’s just a myth and they aren’t any stronger than the average guy. But the other half admit that being tall gives them a ton of natural strength by default, even without working out. I’m honestly just confused and don’t know who to believe anymore. In this case, I mean absolute strength – like moving heavy furniture or lifting heavy objects by default, without necessarily training for it

Discussion Does being tall automatically mean you get more respect?
i'm 19f and I'm 5'10" tall, and I can hardly recall being blatantly disrespected. Of course, people have been passive-aggressive, but as for me being outwardly disrespected? I can't recall it. And I work at customer service too, and a lot of people who work at customer service being shouted at or called horrible names by angry customers. I've been working in customer service for about a month and that hasn't happened to me yet.
I'm black as well, so I have a feeling that it's not about me being more respected, but it's me just looking intimidating. Rarely ever catcalled, sexually harassed, none of that. I just hear these stories on social media of girls being explicitly disrespected and I'm like "people do that??"

Questions/Advice Barefoot shoes
Hey, I’m wondering if anyone here has tried barefoot shoes. My wife, who’s a full foot shorter than me, loves them and thinks they’ll help with my back/ knee pain. I’ve had luck with the exact opposite, but good shoes can be so expensive. I just wanted to see if anyone else had anything good to say about minimalist shoes.
