Even the master race can't even get girls.


yes simply being tall doesnt mean girls want you just for that. thats something the shorties think.

I have a feeling that the Short People Problems thread would soon be invaded by tall people problems, so I've decided to give them a thread to discuss on! :biggrin:

Long sleeved tops with short arms seems to be a common problem for me, or finally finding that top with the right arm length, but it's so baggy you could hide 3 pillows under it.


I'm 6'1 so I'm not huge but pretty tall. I don't think I have many problems with clothes myself, my main problem is banging my head when I stand up on the top deck of a bus or near the back where you have the 4 seats together (2 facing forward and 2 facing backwards)and they put the ceiling really low:angry:. Legs under certain desks can be a bit of a problem too.

Cutting your toenails. I can hardly see them they're so far away and it gives me a bad back.

Thank God, I thought I was the only one with this problem.

I feel your pain bro, the world isnt suited to us yet.
Having to tuck your legs in when sitting in the bus.
Being too skinny dat high metalbolism goes :frown:
Oh, I've thought of another tall person problem (I don't know whether this is just me) - you get so used to being taller than people that you take it for granted and then whenever you meet someone even taller it makes you feel emasculated and childish.

That does makes me feel better, thank you. One day the world will accommodate for us and stop jealously demonising and hating us.

Never having enough leg room on the bus.



Thought this was only me. Its genuinely a pain.

I also have to sleep with my feet off my bed because I refuse to bend my leg. Hope my bed at uni is longer

YES! i just have a mini fit, i hear that, sometimes when people are taller than you for the first time you gotta slighty look up, which is a new thing (neck pain). Then you just feel like 5ft something lol.

btw do you have any friends who are "just" shorter than you, and do you take the mick saying "respect the tall people" lol.

No, I've never done that - I might start though :tongue:.

Yeah, it's a real nuisance! And getting off the bus if I'm on the top deck is a pain too.

My bed at home is fine for me, but at uni my feet are nearly hanging off the end of the bed!

Ah do your knees click as well when you try to get up on the bus?
London buses need to cater for the tall! Its unfair on us
