    What are the disadvantages of being tall?

    1. No leg space

      Tall people might face problems when trying to sit because they cannot put their legs anywhere. A tall person usually needs a big space to sit comfortably.

    2. Higher chance of breaking a bone

      Studies have claimed that tall people have a higher chance of breaking a bone.

    3. Higher chance of developing a blood clot in the leg

      A study found that tall people had a significantly higher chance of developing a blood clot in their legs. According to the study, one fatal type of blood clot was 2.57 more likely to happen to at least 6 ft tall people.

    4. Tall people are more likely to get back pain

      Tall people have a higher chance of developing back pain, as they are more likely to slouch often. Slouching increases the risk of disc injury and back pain.

    5. Less pool of males to choose from

      A tall woman might have less chance of attracting a male since most short men will avoid her, and she might also be looking for a tall man. (See What do women find attractive in men)

    6. Higher chance of getting cancer

      Some studies have claimed that tall people have a bigger chance of developing cancer. The fact that cancer happens due to uncontrolled cell growth and that taller people have a larger number of cells might be the cause.

    7. The bed might be short

      Tall people might have problems sleeping at night if their beds aren’t long enough for them to stretch their legs.

    8. Have problems fitting in small cars

      Tall people usually have problems fitting in small cars.

    9. A higher chance of banging the head in the ceiling

      Tall people are at a higher risk of hitting their head in the ceiling, lamps or other objects that aren’t positioned high enough for them to pass under.

    10. Hard time finding clothes

      A tall person might have a problem finding clothes that match their height, especially if they are very tall.

    11. Using more resources

      A tall person might need to use more resources than a short person. To bathe, for example, a tall person will use more water and soap. (See Why Basketball Players are Tall?)

    12. Can intimidate people unintentionally

      A tall person might intimidate others unintentionally, thus affecting his social life.

    13. People can’t see if they sit behind a tall person

      A tall person can get many complaints inside theatres because the people sitting behind them might not see well.
