It's surprising to me how many of you 6 foot + wish you weren't. The world is not made for people much over 6 feet. Gets harder to find clothes and shoes that fit. A lot of cars are uncomfortable. Counters are too low and hard on one’s back if you have to work on them too long. Airplanes are torture. You wind up hitting your head on a lot of things. I could go on. On the plus side, a lot of girls prefer taller guys.

I’m 6’4” but have a really long torso and short legs(32”inseam). Maybe I need to go to Vegas for a couple inches of legs!
Wonder if they extend both above and below the knee?

No, but 3 inches longer would be nice. Thats what my wife has been telling me! 😂 Your wife told you it would be nice if Kevin was 3 inches longer?

No, I've been shrinking with back issues so I'm down to 6'2". Being too big to fit has always been my problem. I wear a 14 wide shoe most places carry up to 13. I wear a 2xlt shirt and some places have 2x but rarely in tall.
Vehicles generally don't have enough leg room or have way too wide of center consoles so my knee is banging on it. And flying is never very comfortable for me. At least with jeans I usually wear a 36 to 38 waist which are common but almost too common because those sizes are often sold out.
In college I was 6'3" + a little and weighed 240. I wore a 56" suit coat and had a 34" waist. I couldn't buy a suit except cheaper ones at like jc penny's where you could buy a jacket and pants separately. The pants that come with a 56 jacket were too big to even be taken in. It's no fun being a little bigger than normal. The world seems built for people 5'11" and under.

More than once I've read that people are taller when they first wake in the morning- your joints have fully hydrated then.
Men 3/4'' to 1-1/4 inch the article stated. I like to soak and hydrate my joint. Makes it longer.

That is hilarious.
Which 'Firegay will be the first one to feel the need to have the surgery to get to 6'4"? Im 6'4. Can we go shorter? I like being a midget, I get midget sex all the time..... But you got those gigantor meat hooks for hands going for you. Which is nice. I think there’s a midget throwing contest at the Embassy next week. Put that Velcro onesy of yours on and let’s make some $$$!

I am six-three, I love being a big man.
When I was a kid I was short for my age. In eighth grade at a big high school in Atlanta, I was 12 years old, and 105 pounds. Big 17 year old bullies used to slap me around in the halls.
Funny, when I was 19, I was 6-3 and 195. Plus I took 2 years of Tae Kwon Do. Funny, as a big man with a certain swagger to his style, the bullies left me alone, because they knew I could, and would kick their ass.

Wonder if they extend both above and below the knee? Same issue here, 6'3", 31" inseam. Pants are easy, but trying to find shirts long enough that aren't as big around as a barrel sucks.
