Confession - I really roll my eyes at RO heights sometimes, especially because a lot of ROs seem to be trending on the tall side, and they keep getting taller and taller. Over 6 ft/183cm characters without Tall People Problems.
I know it's fiction but where is the back pain from being tall, slouching at computer desks, getting scrunched in cars, trains, planes, venues! Few things in the world are made for tall people - counters too short, beds too short, having to buy clothes online because normal sizes don't fit.
Tall = hot? But it's never really acknowledged ("Wow! You're tall!"). I suppose bringing it up too much bogs down the narrative with unnecessary detail. But still, characters are described as like 6'5" like it's nothing (even the world's tallest countries average 6ft).
