I feel so bad for guys who feel they need to do this. I've got several shorter than average friends, and they have all just leaned into it, and It's never been an issue for them. They are all happily married.
I am relatively tall at 6'4" and it certainly has its perks. But man does it have its downsides, which are only worse and worse the taller you are.
In Canada there is one store that carries big and tall. I didn't mind it because they sold quality clothing. Now though they're switching to cheaper materials. 5 years ago all my clothes were 100% cotton now it's blends of cheap crap. But I'm 6' 7" so I'm stuck.
Don't forget increased back pain.
East Asia is just not meant for us. I have had to literally squat and turn sideways to get through some doors. And riding public transport there, my head is above the hand holds
The door thing isn't too shocking. I live in Texas, and the doors to both bathrooms are not full width. I physically cannot walk through them straight on without my shoulders blocking me. I have to turn sideways at least a little bit to go through. We have lived there 6 years, and my wife didn't believe me the other day until I showed her.
I've not really experienced that here in Australia, though being taller than the cubicle wall in public toilets is an experience
Oh man, I didn't even think of that one. I have run into that too.
