I'm five foot nine which is average I guess, but my brother's six foot three and my dad's six four and I've always been a little eyerolly about it. I was robbed! I always wonder what people's vantage point is, those who are well above six feet tall. A little minor and stupid thing, but something I think about nonetheless.

I hit 5’10” as a freshman in HS and was 6’ by the time I graduated. My older brothers are 6’2” and 6’3”. My dad was also 6’ but now he comes just under my nose.
My boyfriend is 5’9” and I generally don’t see him as short except sometimes in photos with my family. My mom and sisters are tall, all of my nieces and nephews are tall except one nephew who topped out at 5’9” and his sister who is 5’.

I don't feel tall and don't notice height in others unless they're under 5'4" or so. Because all I see is the tops of their heads.

I was told that a man's ultimate height, is like Davinci's Vitruvuan Man and is measured from fingertip to fingertip. By that measurement I should have been 6' 2". I was fat during puberty and I believe I stunted my growth as I maxed out at 5'10".
My dress shirts are an unusual 16n, 37"sleeve.

They have done studies that basically prove the taller you are, the more chances in life you get and the better people opinions of you are. Most CEO's for example are over 6' tall. It's rare to see a short stout CEO of a big company unless it was actually started by the same guy which is rare these days.

When someone says "How tall are you?" I invariably answer, "How short are you?"
Except with the sensitive, forthcoming OP.
As a kid I was convinced that 5'11 was the perfect height and that I would change my name to "Alexander Redd" when I reached it.

I never give it any thought and don't take notice unless someone is quite significantly taller or shorter, say at least fully a head taller or shorter. I never understood people who have very specific height requirements for dating or fucking or friends. I'm tall average, or toward the bottom end of tall, but a couple inches above average (US) height.

I am 6'6" and my older brother is 6'8"
Pants have always been hard to fit. In college I wore 32x38 pants, which meant I had to buy unhemmed pants and have them altered. Now I wear a 36x38, which are not easy to find, but not impossible either. Suits are a royal PITA though. I wear a 62L jacket, but that means the suited pants are well over 50" in the waist. No amount of tailoring can make them work.
I hated being taller than normal until my 30s when I realized that some guys like taller guys. I had always gone for guys around my size because I was wary of huge differences in size; it was very limiting. Whoever said above that tall guys are expected to be tops is right. Always, always, always. Until I started dating a 5'4" guy who is one of those lanky otter types with a sizeable dick. He convinced me that he could top me without (much) pain, and he did. Sex with him remains as some of the best I have ever had.

My sister's husband had surgery and the surgeon nicked a lymph vessel without noticing. Somehow the leakage and subsequent damage to his body in a complicated way caused him to shrink from 6'2" to 5'6". A nightmare for them. He's still alive but she drank herself to death.
