It's Great To Be A Man Because.. - Page 6

**trailmaster** · February 29th, 2016, 11:10 AM

I like being a man , but I don't like the height I was given. I am 6 feet 4 inches tall and I have always had trouble finding pants that will fit. Some stores in America are called BIG/Tall, but it seems that the pants sold at these stores start for a man who is 6 feet 5 inches, which means that I am taller than regular and smaller than tall. Every time I buy pants I have to take them to a tailor to have the inseam adjusted. Also, though I am tall, my hands are quite small, almost like the average woman, and my feet are a size 10 medium. Usually men my size have a size 12 foot.

. . . . because I won't have to spend many thousands of pounds over my entire adult lifetime on make-up, cosmetics and getting my hair done.

Don't worry trailmaster, I am three inches taller than you (with a 34" waist and 37" inside leg). I always had trouble finding trousers to fit (except jeans) but now I buy them from a catalogue that caters for tall people.
I had a problem finding shirts to fit when I was younger (not so much now as I've filled out a bit). If the shirt fitted in the body, the sleeves would be too short and if the sleeves were long enough, the body of the shirt was like a parachute. Clothes manufacturers tend to think that the taller you are, the wider you are but it's the opposite that is usually true.

It's great to be a man because I'll never have to get pregnant, carry a baby around inside me, scream through hours of laborious bloody childbirth, and then turn into a fat dumpy housewife with sagging tits and cellulite thighs.

Yeah, the tall and the short get it rough in society. I am quite short (like Alan Ladd or Audie Murphy short) but have a broad physic (not traditionally fat but I am getting chubby; one of the worst things about aging) so I find it hard to find pants that fit well. Most of the time I go for trousers made for taller men and just hem them myself. Jackets are also a nightmare due to arm length, which is harder than trousers to re-tailor well.
