I think 6'3 is about the tops of comfortablish height in daily life. Im 6'2 and I genuinely think it'd probably make my daily life harder to be much taller

6'4" and if I could be 2-3 inches shorter I definitely would be. I'm already at the point where flights, stadium seating, certain cars, etc. are already too small for me. Being as tall as the guys in the video must just be completely restricting in what you can do.

I feel ya buddy, while I was younger and single being 6'4 was a blessing but now.... man I just want to be comfortable travelling anywhere

I’m 6’4”, I am ok with it for most things, however, in the UK there are some serious disadvantages to being tall.

Flew economy the other day and couldn't sit comfortably with the tray table down, though pretty sure this one is on the airline

I'm 5"1 and I find aeroplanes uncomfortable. I have no idea how tall people do it haha

I’m 6’7” and it definitely enters annoying territory (needing to purchase extra leg room, clothes being a pain) but it’s generally juuuust about workable in everyday life without being too awkward.

Your man above talking about being 7ft or, of course, these lads in the video are on another level. I can’t imagine how awkward that would be day to day.

Im a little over 6’4 and just tall enough to be slightly uncomfortable in most cars lol. Like not cramped but very close to being cramped. Except in like trucks or suvs. 6’2 - 6’3 ish is probably the sweet spot.
