Advantages? Such as not being able to purchase clothes or shoes anywhere except online? Seriously try to find a pair of 34x36 pants or 16 shoes. You can't anymore. In the 90s a store might have carried a pair of shoes, today they carry none because you can order online. Size Large shirts are too short and XL are too fat. So I need large tall which no one carries in stock. Literally every purchase I make is sight unseen.

Then there's the not really fitting in half the cars out there. Or amusement park rides. Or bowling shoes. Or safety equipment. Or saddles for horses.

You might complain that you can't reach things on the top shelf, try having to bend over for everything. Even to use countertops or bathrooms.

How about furniture always being short and forcing your knees to be elevated above your hips when you sit all of the time.

And beds... always too short. Want to stretch out? Only if it's a king and you lay diagonally.

Being tall is perpetual discomfort because this world is made for people of average height.
