Do you think it's weird to ask tall strangers walking down the street their height? I saw a huge man the other day, he was really skinny and towered over everyone around him. He had a backpack that he made look small! I couldn't believe how lanky he was! But I was too shy to ask his height.

Do any of you tall people on here mind strangers asking your height or shoe size? Do you like it or do you hate the attention? Do any tall lovers on here ask people their height? Thanks, because sometimes I am not sure whether it is weird or not and I really want to know their height!

I wonder if there is a measurement App ( like the gadget for measuring rooms without a tape ) you can get so you can Zap them with your smart phone!

Being a large guy, over 300 pounds, and average height. No one comes up to me and asks my weight. Sly comments do get heard once in a while. I believe it is the same for tall people. Their height is their personal space. They get stared at alot. Have you ever seen someone with their height printed on their shirt? Now you know that person has been asked alot. Also, I hope the smart ass questions have stopped, such as the weather up there, or do you play basketball? Most of the time, if there is not a crowd around, a well meaning question might not get the giant to upset. But then judge for yourself before you ask. if there is a doorway around, most are 6'8" and you can use that for a measuring tape.

Cheers

I get asked often about me shoe size. I do not mind. It's a great icebreaker to meet new acquaintances. I have actually had people from time to time bend down and touch the front of my sneaker to feel where my toe was. Now that's a little creepy!

It happens a few times a year. LOL! I am usually a good sport about it. I have also had people demand that I take off my shoes.

You realize that a person with a shoe or foot fetish should get a job with the TSA. They asked you to take your shoes off in a public place? Man get away from me. Those would be my first words. Lol
