I can tell when people are starting to go bald.

Black people are more willing to talk to me, though they always just say, "Damn, man, how tall are you? Do you play basketball?"

I can hold things out of reach of short people

That reminds me. Tall people can dunk on ppl on a 10 ft rim. Something I will never experience.

A disadvantage is that people are always bugging you to do stuff that requires height. Although I suppose if you're lonely then at least that qualifies as being "needed."

It is also useful for intimidating weak-minded people whose reptilian brains base threat assessment entirely on size. This was helpful to me when I worked security at a bar, because all of the people I threw out could have kicked my ass if they wanted to.

You get to ignore the signs that say "Please ask for assistance with items on top shelf."

in positions where raised legs are required you can put their legs over your shoulders instead of holding them up .

People actually respect you

^ true, tallness is a stronger pattern in the upper management of my company than intelligence is.

2 of our VP's are shorter than me and i have a hard time taking them seriously. truth.

you don't have to look up at people
I met a dude who was 6'8" once, and was like "Wow, this is fucking weird, having to look up at this dude as we talk"
but if you're tall, you're rarely in that position

I can think of billions of benefits. billions.
