So I'm tall. 6'4"ish. It's not as great as you might think. Today for example I went to the local IMAX and caught a double feature. You'd think they'd have large amounts of leg-space so you could recline comfortably whilst watching fuck-huge movies swirl across a screen the size of an aircraft carrier, but it turns out they don't. I walked out of the theater with a wicked bad cramp in my legs on account of being shoved into a space that was essentially no larger than a can of packed sardines.
Talk to me about your disadvantageous advantages, SE++. Are you tall like me and have to suffer in a world designed to fit the needs of shorter--nay, lesser beings? Perhaps you have a large amount of melanin in your skin that naturally shields you from the harmful rays of the sun, but simultaneously lessens your worth as a person in the eyes of people in possession of a paler, more skin cancer-y prone complexion. Tell me your woes, bros.

girls just cry from looking at me.
edit: and yeah this is gonna be a big ego thread
this thread will be ruled by Pony
my dick is just
too big
like huge
don't listen to fiz
i am a white male born to middle-class parents
none of that carries any real disadvantages as far as i know
I don't think anyone, regardless of size, is particularly comfortable in an airplane.
That's what you get for flying coach.
man i'd fly in the cargo hold if they'd let me
gotta save those dollars
white guilt
She didn't even mention she'd upgraded me, and I didn't realize it until I actually got on the plane. So that was pretty cool I guess!
what if we don't buy into it
man I ain't responsible for those whiteys, a lot of them are nutbars
This means I am subject to all the whims of
THE PATRIARCHY
as a free perk? fuck yeah, hook me up
but thousands and thousands of extra dollars of my own money i'd rather hang on to, thanks, i can deal with a stiff neck and plastic cutlery
Unless I cut off your head, then I get your power.
I fly a few times a year, and yeah it's uncomfortable but hardly torture. The only that's been hindered by being tall is maybe buying pants that fit correctly.
wood floor? yep
metal chair? yep
in a jacuzzi? yep
child's bed? yep
standing up? yep (well, leaned against a corner)
it becomes problematic because I'll actually fall asleep ANYWHERE if I'm tired, and it becomes a regular thing for me to sleep in bushes or on a bench or in an abandoned building or next to an active railway, even when only slightly drunk
there are no places i cannot sleep
I feel your z's

He's pretty dang tall.
However this causes me a lot of problems with emotional and social issues. I just... don't really understand emotions. They cause me problems.
So essentially I feel like my intelligence is both an advantage and a disadvantage.
i have been waiting for this post since this thread was made
My knees are usually up against the back of the seat in front of me on a plane
If I sit up perfectly straight and the person in front of me doesn't recline at all then it's fine but that's not exactly a comfortable position for multiple hours either!
why the fuck can airplane seats recline anyway
there is not enough space for that at all

but it like defines my entire fucking life
Oh God, thanks for highlighting this one. This made my day.
But then I remind myself I am so awesome that it ceases to matter.
