Such a tall young man!

Hope he's been checked out for Marfans syndrome?

Our SIL is 6 9”.
People do remark and stare as our daughter is only 5 foot so it makes him appear taller.
He is generally very athletic and has to have his suits custom made, his shoes are a 15.
He was a professional athlete.

My youngest Ddil is tall; not exceptionally so, but tall for a woman. She is beautiful, and has physical grace, but sadly she stoops a little because of unkind remarks made about her height all through the school years. I would so like to see her lift that lovely head up, throw her shoulders back and 'walk tall', but she is too self concious.

We used to have a friend of 6’ 8” - sadly no longer with us.

When dd2 at barely 4 years old first met him, her first words were, ‘Hey! You’re high!’

Yes, he had trouble with beds, baths and all sorts - had to order special sizes. Plus of course with economy seats on planes.

We have a friend who is 6'8 - he ducks under door frames automatically and drives a pick up as opposed to a car. I wonder though if any of these very tall people have undiagnosed Marfan syndrome

Lots of very tall people! My eldest son is 6ft 2, which seems very tall to me - I'm 5ft 1, a bit shorter than my 12 year old Granddaughter. People have often commented om my height, as though I'm now aware of being short

My mother and sister, 5 foot 10 as is my DD and DG1, DG2 is about 5 foot 8. My DGS us 6 foot 4 like his father. I'm the short one at 5 foot 5. However my sister's partner is 6 foot 11, and makes her look quite small! When I first met him my dog barked every time he stood up from a chair, I think it was because he was so tall!

I worked at a public school where the average height of pupils was probably 6” above most teenagers. I thought it was because their wealthy fathers could pick the most desirable partners, who would be tall, slim and beautiful.

I am not tall, but was above average height at age 7-8. My father told me I was tall (he was quite tall himself and his nephews were tall, too).

This made me feel like a freak and I have walked with a stoop ever since, even though I only grew to about 5'5" in the end.
