I lold at the last one 😁

But seriously...beside the silly "men shall be tall" (why even? To protect others from lions?) There aren't many benefits to being taller than average.

And my largest downside: I'd love a woman that's taller than me. But there aren't many...

    Seriously the biggest benefit is that I always fit in places and never feel cramped

    Oh yes...in some buildings, where the ceiling is very close to my head, I feel very cramped and hate it. Had to move through cellars where I had to basically crouch. Ugh.

    Actually I just remembered one minus: tall people are used to not bumping their head on low things. Once I was visiting a museum where they have an old house with really low door ways, low even for me and I was constantly knocking my head because I am not used to having to crouch.

    Hehe, yeah. i have that as a reflex. ducking whenever i go through a door. because i bumped my cute lil bald head way too often and learned the hard way :) But given the choice, I'd rather be shorter. like 1,6m or so. That'd be optimal.
