1.9m is 6' 3", already in the 93rd percentile of US adult males according to this chart. https://preview.redd.it/oruqlgczepp91.png?auto=webp&s=cb797fc1f49b952bd53e0442bf20ce30f1fca51f https://preview.redd.it/oruqlgczepp91.png?auto=webp&s=cb797f... 2.1m is in the 99th percentile. Maybe you just have a lot of very tall friends.
- lostlogin 10mo agoMaybe. I used to like being tall, but seeing a colleague use a fixed height desk as a standing desk has made me reconsider. Short people would seem likely to be comfortable in more places.
- Ajedi32 10mo agoI think once you get past the 95th percentile in any metric like that things start to get more difficult. I'm not even that tall and I sometimes have trouble finding pants that fit me. I imagine there are probably similar difficulties on the other end of the spectrum being below the 5th percentile.
- kaffekaka 10mo agoThis is true, above 190 cm in height some things become issues. Above 2 m must be inconvenient pretty often.
- lostlogin 10mo agoPants get a large waist as they get longer. I’m not sure I’ve ever had a pair that fit. Shoe get destroyed very fast, I’m not sure what it is and my feet aren’t that large (UK 12 or 13) but 6 months tops, and they are in pieces.
- amalcon 10mo agoI used to have so much trouble with pants (I need 30-34 in inches, 86.4cm long and about 76cm waist). No store had that size. I once got to the point where I considered leaning into my Scottish heritage and just wearing a kilt. The internet has alleviated that for me, but if it hasn't for you -- look for pants with a large hem, and learn some basic sewing skills. It's occasionally possible to add an inch or more of length with the right pair.
