Well after banging my head into the living room chandolier for about the ten thousandth time I disagree. The downsides of being tall are:
1) Everbody asking you just how tall you are, and about 90% of them then saying "Oh, really? I didn't think you were that tall!" or some variation thereof.
2) All of the jokes about being tall and skinny. Being called "bean pole", asking me how the weather is up there, being called "bones" by your your girlfriend.
3) You think you had growing pains as a kid? Try growing another 6 inches to a foot in that same time. Try always being so skinny you look like your skin is a sack covering bones.
4) Everybody always asks/assumes that you played basketball.
5) Everybody and their dogs always wants you to get something they can't reach.
6) Clothes never fit, the sleeves are usually too short, pants are too short, not many shoe manufacturers make shoes in size 12-13.
7) Cars, motorcycles, beds, chairs, etc. generally don't fit. This makes for a lot of pain on long drives/rides/etc. You continually hit your knees on the underside of tables/desks/etc., everything has to be custom made/adjusted for you so that it will be anywhere near close to being ergonomically correct.
8) Being tall generally makes it much harder to coordinate your body movements as your weight is spread out farther from your center of gravity. It seems like you are always clumsy and ungainly no matter how hard you try.
9) Tall people have a lot more spine, skeletal and joint problems. They are generally weaker than people of the same weight who are shorter. They are generally slower than people who are shorter, even though we have longer legs we run slower than others.
10) You can't dissappear in a crowd when your head is six inches taller than 99% of everybody else.
11) Oh, and did I mention that I keep bumping my head on things?
The only good things about being tall are
1) Many women like tall men, but even there a bood portion of those think I am too tall to match up well in bed, or look good in public alongside me.
2) I can put on quite a lot of weight and still look HWP.
I would gladly give up a good 6-8 inches of height - I get really tired of bumps on my head.

). I would gladly be anywhere between 5'10" and 6' 2". 5'10" is actually fairly tall for a woman, although my daughter and my mother are both 6' tall. My daughter had severe problems with her knees while a teen and spent much her teen years in braces, casts and on crutches in a lot of pain, until she had two major operations one right after the other.
