How would you cope with being over 7-foot tall?

What do you think you'd do as a profession?

I'd probably still do the same things I do; I'd just need a bigger desk & seat.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

I'd join the NBA.

In HS we had this guy who was really tall, had big feet as well. Football team and all. We had shorter guys with more bulkier bodies but him being tall walking for him at the time was like running. Again I have seen tall people who run like garbage.

That being said my uncles ( two of them ) at both tall men, who can lift and bench press over 500LBs. One has a slew of children across the United States. The other one looks good in suits, but when he talks it sounds like a pitbull. You should see the ladies when they look at him. No kids.

Being tall is the dream we all have for our children, sons, and daughters. Me I am average height ( whatever that might be ). I am outside now I realize it but I am taller then a lot of people. but for me that is normal height. However their are tons of people way taller then me. Honest to gosh does not matter unless you have the muscles and are healthy as well. I remember last time I saw a little-mommy with her tall husband and both her kids are tall ( I think like brother and sister ).

Only problem with "being tall" is later in life it might hit you in the shins... the lower leg areas below the knees. My uncle who is super-tall has pains in his leg recently, but that might have been from doing sky-diving in the military ( as the military is clearly not as safe as marketed ). in his past.
Again reading about Andrew the Giant he had similar issues.

I do not understand your comment.

I am saying my Uncles are tall, as with many tall men while strong and women ( with the fetish of tall men ) admire them. However that being said many men who are tall in later years of their lives "could" have the issues with the legs. The blood circulation itself is usually the main cause.

It was just a joke. I'm not sure if you saw my original comment or not, but what you posted seems to have been edited, as well as my post containing a quote by you. Maybe that's why you didn't get it.

Anyway, that was a pretty interesting story about your uncles. The only really tall person in my family was my grandpa, he was like a giant.

And yeah, you're right, there's circulatory issues with really tall people sometimes. I also remember reading something about them having slower reaction times or something (bare noticeable but found under testing), I suppose due to longer limbs means a longer distance between nerves and the brain. I'm probably butchering the results of the study I read but I read it a while back.
