    Lol. But here, have some actually great benefits I wish I had:

    • The bed is long enough (u don’t need a custom made)
    • cars are great (u don’t need to imitate a giraffe to half-assed see the world outside, or take the seat out)
    • you can kiss a woman while… Errr…you know. (Not trying to pull her nose out of your bellybutton first)
    • clothes actually are your size (you dont need 12xl shirts, just so the arms fit but you can also go camping with your tent)
    • airplanes are cheap (u dont have to buy 1st class just to not fold yourself in the middle)
    • doors are OK (u dont need to duck. Which u learned through pain)

    But there are also benefits…like having a better oversight over crowds and. Err…yes.

      Here’s more benefits:

      • you can wiggle your feet in the air when sitting on a chair
      • adjusting car seat is always easy; just pull it all the way to front
      • you can eat her ass while standing
      • you can have a nap even on two person couch
      • you don’t have to buy a huge pickup even if your dick is small
      • you can work in the mines and have innate knowledge about metallurgy and smithing

      Wait, what was the topic again?

        I lold at the last one 😁

        But seriously…beside the silly “men shall be tall” (why even? To protect others from lions?) There aren’t many benefits to being taller than average.

        And my largest downside: I’d love a woman that’s taller than me. But there aren’t many…

          Seriously the biggest benefit is that I always fit in places and never feel cramped

            Oh yes…in some buildings, where the ceiling is very close to my head, I feel very cramped and hate it. Had to move through cellars where I had to basically crouch. Ugh.

              Actually I just remembered one minus: tall people are used to not bumping their head on low things. Once I was visiting a museum where they have an old house with really low door ways, low even for me and I was constantly knocking my head because I am not used to having to crouch.

                Hehe, yeah. i have that as a reflex. ducking whenever i go through a door. because i bumped my cute lil bald head way too often and learned the hard way :) But given the choice, I’d rather be shorter. like 1,6m or so. That’d be optimal.

      You missed the “everyone thinks you are there just to reach things for them”. Women in particular seem to feel entitled to my reach. The few men that ask are either walking with a cane or sitting in a wheelchair.

      Even my Wife, 5"4"/163cm has no problem interrupting me from whatever I’m doing to reach things for her. Despite having 3 step stools in the house just for her.

      But if it gets to be too much of a hassle and pisses me off, I start asking her to pick things up off the floor for me because she’s closer to it. She then has a fit because I’m making fun of her height, and then she stops asking me-- for a while.

        Oh yes…if I’m alone noone ever talks to me (resting bitch-face-syndrome), but when I’m shopping with wifey, I get asked at least once per trip to fetch shit off a shelf.

        But also yes, exclusively women or handicapped men. A “normal” guy would probably rather die than ask another guy for help.

        Wifey rarely asks though, she actually prefers a step-stool or whatever before asking for help.

      Another benefit is slightly longer lifespan as the heart doesn’t need to work as hard for blood to travel as much distance.
