We finally met the man that got us over the four year hump. I'm 6'2" and I felt small.

I wish I were 6'9"。 I'm only 6'2" AZLD4Candidate Sep 2024 #3
6'9" often comes with a lot of health problems. Foolacious Sep 2024 #14
Even at 6'2'" you hit your head a lot. Not many people can see the bump though. twodogsbarking Sep 2024 #16

6'2" is a great height for being able to reach things and see over a crowd, without the back and joint problems that so often come with extreme height.

Like finding furniture that you can sit or lie on comfortably (and not break). I'm sure finding clothes and shoes that fit is a major hassle, too.

Broad shoulders, barrel chest, huge muscles, size 14 feet. I was at least a head taller than most people in Asia.

If I could step into that picture and stand in front of Fetterman without him changing his pose, I'd come up about to his fists.
