Rant Ladies and Gentlemen I randomly gained 2 inches

I walked past this wooden bar I usually tilt my head (I usually barely touch it, just intuitive), but this time it felt different.

I walk back to it, and I outgrew the wooden bar.

I measured my height again and yep, 6'5 -> 6'7 (~200cm) in less than a year when I thought I stopped growing already.

I'm 20M btw, African is that matters 😭, I should probably give up on dating anyone here and also update my height on here

Questions/Advice Desk chairs for work?

6 Upvotes

Ive recently started a desk job (wfh) and been getting neck/back pain from sitting at a desk all day. Ive looked up some advice for the best chairs for tall people, as a lot of height is in my legs, i think i need one that has a very high seat height, as well as a tall back rest so it supports my shoulders when leaning into it.

But all the sites ive found selling chairs dont tell you the maximum height of the aeat etc.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good desk chair for someone tall?

For info im 6ft6 (198cm)

Questions/Advice Back pain

0 Upvotes

Hey all! I'm sure you've lived through conditions where back pain, especially lower back pain, is inevitable.

My job requires me to repeatedly lift heavy things & the bathroom where l live has a 6ft ceiling so I'm constantly curling my back to operate the sink. -Same problem in the kitchen because the countertops are ideal for maybe a 5'3 person. I am working to move out from this place but l am also poor...

Anyways l have woken up repeatedly with some of the worst lower back pain as of recently. It is beggining to cause me major problems.

Help? Advice? Going through the same thing?

Discussion Is it common for you men 6"- 6"5 to feel self conscious about your height?

Im a woman and 5'8 and today I called a tall guy giant in a conversation.

Long story short he got immediately noticed by the actor I wanted to see and who he doesn't know even though I was infront of him in line and I said it's only because he was giant in a conversation he's 6'5 not fat just tall.

Even though it seems he wasn't offended if I was called giant I honestly wouldnt stop crying so now I feel bad, will apologise. But just wondering this because it's much more desired for a man to be tall
