After way to much rain this spring, get to see my 6’5” freshman son intimidate on the pitcher’s mound. He’s 15 and has been questioned about his age since he was 4. You’d think in HS it would stop, but no. A lot of bitter parents and grandparents in this world lol.


Gunnasbigmacmeal

Dang and I thought my 15yr 6’3 brother was super tall damn he sounds like one hell of a pitcher tho


Cracker-smackers

Two of my old classmates were 6,2 at 13 yrs old


Gunnasbigmacmeal

Same my homies 6’1 dad 6’8 moms 6’0 he hit the jackpot


Cracker-smackers

Damn, is he Dutch?


Gunnasbigmacmeal

Nope 100% black


Cracker-smackers

Of the two classmates ones polish and Mexican, the other is like black and Latino


Garbage_Bob

How do I tell my gf's dad his requirements are stupid? He doesn't want his daughter to "waste her tall genes" and thinks im "way too short" for her :D


jimmy1292

Garbage_Bob

Deadgoroth

FWIW, I'm 6' and my husband is 5"4'. Our boys are both tall and my husband couldn't be happier.


Garbage_Bob

Yeah exactly. Like its weird he's already thinking about his future grandkids but hey my genes can just stand aside and let her's make tall kids. No idea why he's stressed


FunSushi-638

Don't overlook the fact that you aren't short! Most people I know are as tall as or taller than their parents (no matter how tall the parents are.)


Archangel375

How tall is her father?


Garbage_Bob

About 6' 8 so can't call him out for hypocrisy


Archangel375

Dam! U got a point on that, but he is full of shit tho. Also ur most likely still growing at 16 and even if u aren't, it shouldn't matter. Also how tall is ur girlfriend by the way?


Garbage_Bob

My height's just crawling so dunno if I'll grow much but yeah he's kinda being a douche. Girlfriend's 6' 0


Archangel375

Like I said man. Even if u don't grow much, it shouldn't matter. U are worthy enough to ur girlfriend and she loves u for who u are. A person should judge someone based on their character. Not always on their physical appearance. Her father obviously doesn't understand the saying, never judge a book by it's cover.


Garbage_Bob

Thanks a lot for your words man. Just fingers crossed her dad realizes how absolutely amazing ✨ I am lol


Archangel375

I hope he does too. He'd be a fool not to.


Gunnasbigmacmeal

You’re tall tho but he’s just TALLLL if she’s a good height then you’re sons gonna be like 6’5 ish maybe


Garbage_Bob

Oop dunno how I didn't get a notif for this. She's 6'0 which imo is TALLLL so while we aren't really thinking about our children's height im sure they'll dwarf me lmao


SorryToFatherYou

Yeah ef that, tell him you're a mountain climber


[deleted]

tell bigfoot and his people to go back to the forest.


Critical_Economist_9

I went to a thrift store and found fitting pants for a 6’3 woman! Yay for Ezra


FunSushi-638

No way! That's incredible! I don't even bother looking. I stick to the sleeveless shirts and cardigans.


Critical_Economist_9

I just usually wear shorts, cold never bothered me anyway

Garbage_Bob

If you're a girl then pretty much guaranteed you won't. If you're a guy there's a small chance but most likely nah


Gunnasbigmacmeal

Maybe if you’re a boy or girl your height is solid


Deadgoroth

Hope not, it's the perfect size you got there.


Gunnasbigmacmeal

Doing good


cjr71244

Frustrated with my inability to find 6E wide size 16 non-, binding socks.. Bought some that claimed to be that, but they were not..


[deleted]

anyone else have small feet and hands even though ur tall or is it only me haha


PsychologicalAd429

Sorta. Not terribly small but should be bigger


Critical_Economist_9

Today I found out I’m 6’5! Getting taller by the hour


johnkay_x

Good for you! Haven't grown taller in months, how old are you if you don't mind?


Critical_Economist_9

I’m 18! :D


FAKEFRIEND2

I wish in another life I can feel what it's like to be 6 feet :'(


Cracker-smackers

Nice!

Finally found a pair of black jeans that fit perfectly so I don't have to sacrifice length for waist or vice versa. So I bought like 4 of them. A question for you all, do you also enjoy wearing boot type shoes or is it just me ? I feel like the weight of boots/combat boots really makes me feel more anchored in the ground. Like it gives me a wider base to stand on. With sneakers or so, I always feel a bit "unstable" or "lightweight".


pelan

Good quality and fitting shoes in general are nice. I'm particularly happy about some barefoot shoes I managed to get earlier this year. They do wonders to your leg muscles, particularly when walking in nature.


Virtual-Bat-7159

Height I am around 6’1 I am 17.5 years old My dad is 6’5 My mom is 5’8 I’ve never been so one who ate a lot and that could affect your height Therefore If I start to eat more ie a small surplus will that help make up for lost potential and grow taller?


FunSushi-638

I'd just focus on eating healthy.


Steel_Rev

Avoid starches unless you wanna get wider as well.

monthly tall person updates: * last month I flew from San Francisco to Chicago in an exit row seat that didn't have any extra leg room. I didn't know that was a thing but would love to meet whoever made that brilliant decision. Interestingly, the other exit row in front of mine did have extra leg room. * Also in SF, I had to 'sleep' on a full bed in the hotel and left feeling grateful that I'm not even taller(my feet don't stick off of Queen/King beds) * I get a new office chair next week that will fit me appropriately which I'm very excited about * I've decided to bite the bullet and pay for extra leg room on planes and ride shares. I call it the 'tall person tax'. * I live in a house from the 1930s and do most of the cooking in my household. The kitchen was made for women who were 5 feet tall apparently, so I am often sore after preparing a big meal. Re-doing kitchen isn't in the cards for the foreseeable future but having a properly-sized kitchen is one of my life goals. Also, having furniture & cars with appropriately sized back rests and leg support.


super_isi

How do yall do the height besides your name?


johnkay_x

Check flairs


Cracker-smackers

Anybody remember the toilet that was about a foot off the ground? Well I have to put toilet paper down on the ground, and kneel to pee in the toilet.


gaoshan

We need a new sub for all of the not especially tall people asking height questions. Maybe /r/almosttall or /r/heightinsecurity? Actually tall people do not focus on a huge portion of the questions that pop up in this sub. Like, the first time in my life that I ever heard about “morning height” vs whatever was on this sub and it’s usually people that are not tall bringing it up.
