Does one's height bring food to one's table? undecided How is one's height a yardstick to one's survival? cool

Your height is a blessing, you can be an athlete

A tall man is the male equivalent of an endowed woman.

The only draw back to being tall is when you are walking behind people they suddenly turn around thinking its a criminal coming to attack them. Happened to me again 2 days ago, was talking a walk and a white woman in my front suddenly got scared. In Nigeria, many mistook me for a pick pocket while i was walking behind their back. Compared to why short guys face ( they are constantly rejected by women as they want tall genes for their kids). You no get problem abeg
Are you part of them?

Being tall is my biggest flex, I am 6”1, it gives me confident and courage, before you go wan body me, you go observe well, girls naturally love tall boys, boys as well may often compliment you, especially if you are good at a particular sport, turn your insecurities to strength

Because of how I carry and compose my self people often conclude I am some bold, rugged, and confident fella even before they say hi to me

The disadvantage of being tall to me however is that several or countless times I don nod doorframes because i miscalculated

Talk about 7 up, you have no problem at all

I am taller than you and I'm fine. Once I went to the market to buy trousers and the guy I entered his shop didn't have my lenght so he started going to other shops to bring trousers; no shop had my lenght. Soon, shop owners started coming to see who the person is.

Dude it was embarrassing initially but pride creeped in from nowhere and I felt great.

Ceiling fans are still my enemy and I don hit my head on things to the extent that I no longer feel any pain when I do.

Let's not forget the fact that I can't sit just anywhere in public transports because of my legs.

I'm giving you relatable experiences so you will know that you're not alone so be proud of your height.

wow, how do you walk around short people, especially when people start calling you 'dogo'which means tallest,it is very annoying
Walking around people is not a problem. What is actually challenging is where to hold short people when you hug them.

Try and bulk up...Well with age bulkiness will come naturally as well as a good diet.

This height you seem to dislike you will appreciate it later in life.

Name calling? That's no big deal. Even me, I still playfully call my husband Dongo cause he's really, really tall. I'm only as tall as his chest and I'm not short for a woman. I like how he seems like my protector or looking like some knight beside me. I feel safe. Many women love tall men. I don't date short people for a fact, that's one of the criteria so your height, I want to believe, is more of a blessing than a curse. Bask in the ambience! grin

Girls love walking with me especially the short ones.
As a tall guy when girls hug you and Lay their head on your chest, you can easily know she's into you,

Re: Tall People How Do You Survive by ITbomb(m): 4:02am On Dec 08, 2023
I can feel you bro, cos I was once there.
At 19 and 6 3, you won't have that much fat and your upper body is way shorter than your leg side.
It's natural.
Just be eating good food and enduring, by 22, your upper body will join in the growth and you will feel more tall than long
