Re: Sinister: What do we want? Higher doorways! When do we want them? Now!

If anything, we're less likeable. Or maybe that's just me. >> I'm not exactly sure what constitutes tall, but I'll opine anyway. I rather like being vaguely tall (I'm 6'2") and I've yet to find a disadvantage. Just the other day I went bowling with two female friends and recieved awed gazes when I asked for my trusty Size 13s. In an odd way, its very flattering. And its nice to be picked first for the basketball team simply because genetics have you given you a slight upper-hand (even if you're still shite, like myself). Plus the best girls go for the tall, skinny guys...right? Well, I guess the main downside is shopping for clothes, especially when you have long arms. We're forced to buy shirts because they'll fit our arms, but then they usually hang down to our knees...or we buy a nice fitting shirt only to find that everytime we bend at the elbow it becomes a short-sleeve. Pants are tricky too sometimes. Oh well...
