I have an acquaintance that is 6’11". She is not awkward at all and her husband is 6’8". Funnily enough they got a dog that was a miniature bull dog. Both are really nice people.
I know a lot of women (at least 10) over 6 feet tall but then I also know several men who are well over 6 1/2 feet tall. None of them play basketball as far as I know. I also know a lot of women who are 5 feet tall only in heels and a few men around that height as well.
