Is being tall overrated?!
Often girls will say to me, "YOu are soooo lucky you are tall" (mostly desi girls will say this to me :P). As much as I love my height (which I consider 'normal' and not excessively tall) I believe their ARE some disadvantages to being taller than your average individual, so lets make a list. My list is based on my perspective as a girl but any disadvantages from a guys perspective are appreciated as well.
1. Finding trousers (or skirts) that are long enough.
2. Not having enough leg room in Buses, cars, planes etc......It really is hard on the knees having to sit with your knees jammed into the seat infront of you!
3. If you are a girl and especially if you are desi, it makes it much more difficult to find a guy to marry because desi guys are generally not tall and have a 'complex' with marrying a girl who is taller than him. (According to Syed_Naveed finding a match is a problem if you are a guy too! He says desi girls are intimidated by tall guys)
4. Hitting your head in places that are too low.
Syed_Naveed:
5. If you are taller than the cubicles at work, you can easily get busted for walking around and having fun.
6 - catching spider webs with your head cuz no one else has ever even come close.

Man......I want a phat discount on runners too. I have to admit that whereas I may look for a sale or good discount on most things, when it comes to my runners, I'm willing to invest a fair amount on something that I like....which makes sense because that is one item that I get my moneys worth and more out of...walahi, my fave addidas runners (the only brand I buy :P ) I have travelled all over with and look like they have been to hell and back....and I STILL won't give them up!!! ANyways......its a good thing we aren't growing anymore eh?! My parents hated me when I was younger cuz I was growing so fast, and I used to wear out my sneakers so badly at one point it seemed that my shoes were being replaced every 2 months!
Sam, your little brother's mates are the only tall ones? How disappointing... However, it's a good sign that the younger ones seem to be shooting up faster.
Arzee....I agree with you in that I don't consider myself that tall.....more average. Its just amongst desi's that I feel like a beast :P You must also cuz I;m pretty sure that the average height for desi guys would be no more than 5 feet 9 at the most.....so you are well above the average. For desi girls I would say 5 feet 3 or 4 inches would be the average.
