6'9"

I've noticed some very good answers from people who to me seem relatively normal height. Interesting.

I can give some obvious complaints:

-There are a lot of cars you simply can't fit in.
-There are a significant number of amusement park rides you can't fit on...and I never really trust the guys running the rides to make sure I'm in safe.
-Flights where you aren't in an exit or bulkhead row are insane, and not just for you, but for the guy in front of you. The last time I wasn't able to get a good seat the guy in front of me ended up switching with me. Sure he was a nice guy, but quite literally the force of my knees on his seat was tilting him, and any time I adjusted (because I was in pain for crying out loud) it meant a severe jostling.

More subtly, while there are some men this size who I'm sure use it expertly, I grew with a late spurt and it was just awkward for a good while. While tall might be considered an ideal, I often simply felt like I was another species, and perhaps as a result, I can say with some confidence that early on this meant I really wasn't gaining any charismatic social benefit for being this size.

On the plus side:

No one messes with me seriously. Ever. It took me a while to realize this because of the late growth spurt. In retrospect it's pretty funny to think about me as an overgrown kid treading cautiously down a dark street oblivious to the fact that everyone else was seeing me and getting out of the way.

It's a very nice feeling to have when you can make people you care about feel safer just by being next to you. When you're my size, this isn't just the women in your life, it's your bros too.

For the most part people are just enthusiastic. I'm a teacher now and me being basically unlike any human being they've ever seen before (6'9", curly mop, beard) is something that draws people in. This is probably what I'm most grateful for as I know it sets a positive tone that makes my day better on average than it would otherwise be.

(Super-tall guys complaining about people asking about basketball, try to keep this in mind. People are introducing themselves to you with a positive attitude for no good reason. Things could be far worse.

Super-tall women on the other hand, I understand that it's a bit more complicated for you.)

And yeah, now that I'm more aware of my body and the actions of others, I can use my what my momma gave me and command a group very effectively. There are still normal sized people better at it than me, but there's really no doubt that being the largest person in the room by a large margin helps.
