How Tall Are You?
A convo in one of the threads made me start thinking about this...

I'm 5 feet 4 and half...every bit counts! My ex is 7' tall and I would never stand behind him...I was afraid if he cut one, it might blow off a "nip" so I stayed clear!

I understand! I used to be 5' 1" and a 1/2, but I lost the 1/2. 
The reason I wondered, is I have a hard time with the shoulder harnesses in most vehicles, they strangle me if they don't have an adjuster on them and my International doesn't have one.
Does being too tall present problems too?

It does if he's in a day cab...he has about a foot more room in a Class A. It is the legroom that presents a problem.

Other parts can be a factor. Some good, some bad.
I can't buy cloths, boots and shoes or even jewelry at regular stores. My wrists are so big, I can not wear ANY mens wrist watches. I've always had to mount the watch onto a custom made band.
I have size 15 feet. I have to wear the tennis style shoes, so my feet aren't so heavy to pick up and double clutch. Also, when I wear my steeltoe Redwings...I have a hell of a time on most forklifts, or climbing around on my flatbed loads.
Big hands too. Size 15 1/2 ring finger...but rather than a disadvantage, for the most part my manhandler hands are a huge plus. I can still do delicate stuff too. I play Satriani style guitar...although I had to learn to tiptoe above the 17th fret. But I have one hell of a stretch/reach...and can blaze off lagato's and do massive bends and hammer on/pull off's like no ones business.
Wide shoulders...not easy getting between stuff. I usually have to climb over, or shove stuff aside. But the big bones are a plus for brute work. As a knuckle-dragger, I can also quickly convert to running on all fours, to chase down some of those fast as hell wimmin. :P

Yeah, I always had to struggle to find shoes for him, too...a size 16. And passing the "physical therapy" part of the employment requirement (the climbing up and down, up and down off a truck, the step on their little truck that was mounted on the wall was not designed for a foot that big. He always had trouble with that) was aggravating to him.

Six foot and size 12, and 210.
And, I don't have enough leg room either.

5-7 in barefeet
5-8 in my shoes
5-9 in my boots
180-ish which is funny, came out of high school at 5-8 and 120 and 9 years later I'm up to the 180's but my body physique has barely changed.

survey should say female and male then height
a more accurate survey would have male and female then height also? I am 5' 6" considered normal height for a female, but for a male it would be considered short.
