Being Tall - The Disadvantages Of Being Tall
There are numerous advantages to being tall - that cannot be denied - both physical and emotional. However people of a shorter stature may not realize their are considerable disadvantages to being tall also. The following article attempts to outline some of the downside to being tall and set the scene for what us tall guys have to deal with on a daily basis. So if you've always craved for to be taller, just read on, maybe you should be happy with your lot.
The number one problem has to be clothing for the tall person - Where to get clothes that fit correctly, what style of clothing suits a tall physique and what fashion accessories can and can't be worn.
Top-tip - internet shopping is the way to go for buying clothes for the tall person.
Pet hates of mine are found in the home, things like bath tubs being too small and having your knees high up out of the water when taking your bath. Shower heads being too low is another major problem for the tall person in the home. I've taken countless showers bending down to fit in the shower. Many other household features lead to the tall person bending over which is not good for the posture and can lead to back pain and neck pain in time. Things such as kitchen worktop counters designed for the average height (about 5 foot 2 inches to 5 foot 9 inches), cause a person in excess of 6 feet tall to stoop and bend considerably in order to use this workspace. Things like a bathroom mirror being placed at a height on the wall to suit the average height again leads to stooping to see your reflection - I've spent much time stooping down to shave using a hotel mirror that's positioned too low on the wall. And I haven't even mentioned the number hate of all tall people...small airline seats with very little leg room...and the number of times I've turned up at an airport early to request an exit seat, with extra leg room.
So you may think being tall is great and in general it is, but it's not all plain sailing, us tall guys have problems too!
Hopefully this has given you some food for thought and for further information on dealing with tall stature, please refer to being tall.

Standing Tall $11.99 “Lots of people have dreams, but C. Vivian Stringer is the dream—a coalminer’s daughter who believed when her Poppa told her there was no obstacle she could not surmount. And she lives that dream, teaching others to rise up to meet challenges, turning underdogs into champions again and again—on and off the court. This is the quintessential American story, of a woman and of a family pulling together against the odds. Standing Tall offers an important message of hope to so many.” —John Chaney, Hall of Fame college basketball coach At a time when heroes are too rare, C. Vivian Stringer sets a shining example. She has time and again shown character, fortitude, and heart, both on and off the hardwood, and in the face of unbearable loss. In Standing Tall , she shares her remarkable life story, inspiring us to find this fortitude within ourselves. “Work hard, and don’t look for excuses,” Stringer’s parents told her, “and you can achieve anything.” But her faith and perseverance would be tested many times. A gifted athlete, she had to fight for a place on an all-white cheerleading squad in the sixties. In 1981, just as her coaching career was taking off, her fourteen-month-old daughter, Nina, was stricken with spinal meningitis. Nina would never walk or talk again. Still grieving, Stringer brought a small, poor, historically black college to the national championships—a triumph hailed as “Hoosiers with an all-female cast.” In 1991, her husband, Bill—her staunchest supporter, the father of her children, and the love of her life—fell dead of a sudden heart attack, but that same year, she led yet another young team to the Final Four. Through these dark times and others—including her bout with cancer, shared here for the first time—Stringer has carried her burdens with grace. Given her history, it was no surprise that she led her team to respond to Don Imus’s slurs with dignity and courage. Standing Tall is a story of quiet strength in the face of punishing odds. Above all, it is an extraordinary love story—love for the game, for the players she has coached, for her close-knit family, and for the husband she lost far too soon. It will resonate long after the last page. From the Hardcover edition. |
