I’m only 6’4", male. My experience is that I need to slouch in the presence of normies so as not to be to intimidating. I am weirded out by people who tower over me because that is unexpected and anyone that tall doesn’t try to fit in - they just tower over all.
Another 6’4" chiming in (6’5" in shoes). It’s weird to be walking in a crowd and needing to look up at someone. That always surprises me.
Imagine looking all the way up! I’m 6’6 and ran into someone in a country store. Such a strange feeling. And you can tell he didn’t trust airpods to convey “don’t talk to me” at that altitude, cause he was wearing headphones that looked big on him
When in doubt (and if possible), keep your distance. You don’t have to slouch as much and I don’t have to look up as much.
And hear things differently! I am 192 (around 6’3) and I struggle to hear conversations between smaller people. especially in loud environments like in a bar. I have to slouch/bend down to them to hear what they say. Very unconfortable and I am self concious of intimidating anyone. Just awkward
Smaller people see lots of taller peoples nose hairs. I remember because before I was a taller people I was a smaller people.
I remember talking to a woman who was like 6’5". She said when she went to visit other couples, she’d often hear the woman yelp when they realized she could see the tops of the fridge and stuff, where lots of people don’t dust.
You only need to be like 5’11" to see tops of fridges.
Depends on the size of your fridge.
Homie has one of those nice hotel mini fridges. You know the type with a separate freezer door, but no place for condiments on the door.
I’m 6’1", and I don’t see the top of my fridge in any meaningful way.
It’s true, it’s also very disorienting for me when I encounter someone taller than me. It’s not often that I have to look up at someone, so it feels VERY strange when I do.

I can see the bald spot you’re trying to hide.
I see the tops of people’s heads a lot, I know you’re balding before you do. You’re also right about the background stuff, especially in crowds its nice to be able to see everything. Im only 6’4 too nothing crazy. Throw on my boots and I’m 6’6 though.
My mother’s husband was 6’9". Sadly he’s shrinking in his old age. It annoys him.
Scientifically, tall people were proven to attract more…
Mosquitoes.
Do you think all the conversations we’re having are standing up within a foot of the other person? I’m usually sitting down and not looking at the top of your head. But it is time homie 🪒
