I’m now part of a collective who have all experienced similar ups and downs”. The tallest member currently is someone called Jack G, who is 7ft1 (Jack G was not available for comment).

There was also a graph shared on Twitter called "How Height & Queerness Compare." It's clear that many more men on the very short side, as well as the very tall side, are gay compared to the men who are a more average height.

It's less about a sexual orientation that you're born with and arguably about fitting into a category that is considered cool and current. Well some women are intimidated or turned off, but he told me that he's getting enough attention that there "are always more out there!" Yeah I can believe it when you look like that and meet one bodybuilder loving babester after another in the gym or at a contest.

One problem is that he is too big for competitions.  Don't tell that to somebody who is reverse anorexic!  "They told me the biggest I could be is 270lbs for my height in the classic division at Nationals in Miami (Which is the tallest class), so I am going to cut to get under that.

Its creator (who remains unknown) started a STGL height index, where members are able to document their height, weight and waist stats, ranking them against other STGLs. While he was allegedly hesitant to join due to fear of bombardment, hope does not seem lost within the group.

When my brother first told me about the group, I did have my reservations.

I’ve been thinking about my tallness more so than ever, after being added to one of the UK’s most culturally impactful WhatsApp groups and safe spaces, Super Tall Good Lads (STGL).

I come from a family of talls, and one of my brothers Max, who is a few centimetres shorter than me (who’s counting!), was out in a south London bar one night when a pair of eyes caught his, towering over the rest of the vodka-cranberry slurpers.

When Neil Patrick Harris said to me as a young closeted gay boy “It gets better”, I believed him. A watershed moment for the group happened earlier this year when someone infiltrated the chat and began to delete members en masse. The London-based WhatsApp group currently has 421 members, who all bond over the tribulations relating to their size.

In it, they share the best places to buy shirts, pants and suits (Marks and Spencers, allegedly), post photos of their tall-specific personal projects (kayaks, bed frames), and sad images of their legs trapped in Ryanair plane seats.The group is active almost every day and isn’t exclusive to purely tall-chat, with the men sharing links for five-minute mobility routines for bad hips, or helping fellow talls out with disputing a parking fine.

The mutational load theory refers to the concept that a population will carry a collection of deleterious mutations, which are mutations that have negative effects on an individual's fitness and wellbeing.

However, while predominantly wholesome, STGL lacks substantial queer representation (although a member did get an incredibly cute photo with a Super Tall Drag Queen at the Fringe last month). But it is my best chance to get a PRO card. How height might be linked to sexual orientation development remains unclear, and the study prompts further investigation into this complex relationship.

The study was conducted with a sample of 176 homosexual and 246 nonhomosexual male outpatients, ranging from ages 16 to 65, who expressed discontent with their biological sex.

The investigation stemmed from the authors' clinical observation that homosexual gender-dysphoric males appeared physically smaller than nonhomosexual gender-dysphoric males.

Those numbers could look very different in the next 10 years. The call-out message read: “Hey! It's starting to become harder to deny that there is a social contagion happening in our culture that essentially encourages young adults to come out as gay (or even trans).

"Men at the extremes of human height, both the very tall and the very short, are more likely to be homosexuals.
