Remember, mass is proportional to the cube of length. Which means that due to a genetic abnormality, I am forced to spend more money on food than anyone else. This is ridiculous and I demand that the government begin subsidizing us.

Another complaint now that I've started going to the gym: many of the machines, while adjustable, are simply impossible/unhealthy to use.

I'm 6'5'', I went from 240 to 195 pounds and now I have to buy a whole new wardrobe. It loving sucks because I can't afford it, especially not the nice clothing. For nice occasions, I have a choice between a fancy baggy suit or a button-up shirt and tie. I'll have to save up to get a new suit that fits before my friend's wedding next year.

gaj70 posted:But you're a sexy beast now. I loose 20 pounds and still look like a fat neck beard Yeah, but it works on the way up too. I'm 6'5-6'6 tall and everyone always underestimates my weight because me at 220 looks pretty well like me at 240. But yeah, noticeable weight loss probably starts at 30lbs or so. Some issues raised in the thread in summary: - Free/preferential wing seating: Happens to me all the time, especially if someone has to get pulled out because they don't understand english well enough (this is a requirement for the emergency instructions apparently) - Asia: It's changing but yeah, they really notice if you're tall there. I had a guy seriously offer to pretend I was distantly related to him so he could get me into the PBA (Philippine Basketball Association). Wouldn't work though; they play the short game so hard you'd just get outworked. They love basketball there it's crazy. - Short people: I've gotten really really good about not stepping on them/crushing them like Smurfs underfoot but it takes a constant conscious/subconscious awareness. I'm sure that there are other subconscious processes that I've sacrificed to be able to do this, like knowing if my fly is open or if I'm drooling or some other thing short people take for granted. Tall people questions: - Is your heart in a weird place? When I was younger I had a really bad bronchitis, so bad they had me in for Xrays to check for something physically wrong. At that point I noticed my heart is actually low, like around the solar plexus, and centred, not left/right. The doctor theorized that my circulatory system grew at a different rate then the rest of me.

Grand Prize Winner posted:Super tall people: do you ever get weird reactions from regular tall people? I'm 6'3" and am so used to towering over a room that I get weirded out when someone can see eye to eye with me. People taller than me flat out scare me. On the other hand, hugging fellow tall people is awesome, because you can rest your chins on each others' shoulders and it's just really

This is another tall observation that might be Australian specific but I noticed people in rural areas here are a fair bit taller than city folk. Is this A Thing?

You must hang out with the wrong city folk. I live in Sydney and don't think I've that many male friends under 6ft.
