6'6" is too tall for anyone shorter than say 6 feet.
Pshaw. I mean, bit of a crick in the neck, yes, but other than that, pshaw. And I'm with ita. I had a friend who was 6'8" -- definitely in the range of "Wow! Tall!" but not, like, bizarrely so.
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
says I, and I feel confident speaking for two exes on the subject.
I meant I'm the boss of you. And them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think 6'8 is where I top out and start looking at guys funny. A 6'3/4 guy sassed me the other day when I mentioned a groin strain. I reminded him I could still kick him in the face when injured -- I just wouldn't enjoy it as much. The onlooker said I went over his head, but she's really short, so I think it was an angle thing.
Which is why 6'6 isn't gigantic to me -- 6'8 is as far up as I can get my toes.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
6'7" is only 127% of my height. That doesn't sound so gigantic.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Oooh! I like this definition! If ita can kick you in the face when injured your tallness is in reasonable parameters.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I think this is underestimating how much I could slack back when I was working.

What is even happening?
Back when I was working, I had to slack without internet access.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I would have to say that if I have a fetish it is for guys over 6'4". Freakishly tall guys are yum.
