> Also not touched upon but felt by men and women is the general problem of being undersized for the world, which seems to be broadly sized for a 5'10" man (in the US at least).
I'm 6' tall and feel oversized for the world. Any time I have to use a counter, table, wash dishes, etc, I have to bend over just enough to jumpstart some back pain, and I imagine that's a contributing factor to chronic back and neck pain.
A friend looked into it once and found resources suggesting the standard kitchen counter is made for people 5'6". It's long been a dream of mine to get a custom made kitchen made for my own height. Well, it's a dream that follows the dream of owning my own place. One problem at a time.

I am 6'2" and I really connect with this. I am constantly shocked by washroom vanities set low enough that they feel like a child's toy, shower heads set at nose level, and kitchen counters just a few inches below the lowest level that I could comfortably work.
FYI the kitchen company we bought our last kitchen from proposed a mixed height design with some counter tops at the max height for me, and some lower ones for my partner. Especially if you have an island or a separate section it's an easy way out of having to compromise.
