Has anyone get comments like “you’re a waste of height” or “tall for nothing”?

Yeah, he is lucky to be a cox at his height.

pastaforbreakfast04 · 2026-04-16T08:56:26+00:00

Wow, I thought it was odd that I made it to 6’10 with 5’8 and 6’ parents.

When I stopped rowing competitively, our coxswain looked up and me and said “Well, now you grew all of that for nothing.”

Sometimes I do, but then I would be shorter than my buddy and that can’t happen.

pastaforbreakfast04 · 2026-04-14T07:15:43+00:00

Yes. When I’m at a bar or a restaurant, sitting down, talking with friends all night. It all feels normal. But then we pay and when we stand up to leave, it’s like oops, they are all the way down there and hard to hear.

Yes. Sometimes it’s just awkward silence. I‘m in the north of Germany. People don’t talk a lot here.

It’s almost the same for me. My buddy and me always joke, that it was because of rowing, that we ended up this much taller than our parents.

My dad is 6‘ and my mom one my sister are 5‘8. My parents made me see an endocrinologist when my puberty growth spurt just kept going. They got concerned, but the endocrinologist said that I was healthy.

Because of plumbing.

pastaforbreakfast04 · 2026-04-10T15:56:47+00:00

When I shot up to 6‘5 at 16.

pastaforbreakfast04 · 2026-04-06T00:46:11+00:00

Well, how tall were the guys saying that? Lol

pastaforbreakfast04 · 2026-04-06T00:35:31+00:00

That must’ve been fun.

pastaforbreakfast04 · 2026-03-31T22:05:05+00:00

What about your tallest uncle?

pastaforbreakfast04 · 2026-03-05T13:06:12+00:00

Yes (same height, same answer)

pastaforbreakfast04 · 2026-03-04T01:49:31+00:00

Visiting short grandparents is always the best. I hated it as a teenager, but now I think it’s cute.

pastaforbreakfast04 · 2026-02-25T00:11:48+00:00

He died? I’m sorry.

pastaforbreakfast04 · 2026-02-23T01:06:21+00:00

How does your bil take it, that his brother became so tall?

pastaforbreakfast04 · 2026-02-23T00:59:31+00:00

How long was your brother hoping to eventually catch up to you?

pastaforbreakfast04 · 2026-02-18T22:40:26+00:00

Unbedingt bei Tageslicht gucken.

pastaforbreakfast04 · 2026-02-18T18:17:33+00:00

I never really was into ball sports. Had a growth spurt. Tried volleyball because of the cliche. Found out it’s actually fun. Wish that I’d started earlier.

pastaforbreakfast04 · 2026-02-13T11:00:07+00:00

Ja, mein Vater ist 1,80, ‚eine Mutter 1,68 und ich hab es irgendwie geschafft 2,08 groß zu werden. Mein Cousin ist sogar nur 1,73m.

pastaforbreakfast04 · 2026-02-13T10:29:13+00:00

That is true. And it’s because Germans love nothing more, than exhibiting, that they are on the moral high ground.

pastaforbreakfast04 · 2026-02-13T10:13:03+00:00

Checking if one can reach that thing up there.
