everyone was always "a head taller" or "a hand taller" or "head and shoulders taller" but that changed every other time it was described.
From the notoriously short Cairhienin to the famously tall Aiel, and everyone in between the two. I forget which one, but wasn't it noted at some point that only one of the chiefs who follow Rand is taller than him? That said it all for me: Rand is freakishly tall; I'm kinda surprised RJ didn't put him in the 7' range.

Rand: Does his red hair make it difficult to imagine him as a hero for some of you too?

I think the Norse god Tyr was often portrayed with red-hair

It really is more of a reflection of pop culture than historical parallels where blond=ideal.

No, not at all. The only visualization problem I've had with characters are Rand and Lanfear

The good thing about personal pronouns is they're widely applicable; it's also the bad thing.

Gross. All I can think of when you say proportions is Rand's huge dong covered in red pubes
