I (20m) am 6’5" tall. One of my female friends who’s 5’5" told me that my height makes my belly particularly vulnerable in case if I get attacked with a pocket knife, for example. Why is it so?

I’m guessing she meant that it’s a larger target so it would be easier to hit vs. trying to stab a smaller person
Well, it’s shoulder height to her.
With her perspective it’s like a big punching bag just hanging there.
Are internal organs proportionally larger on tall people, or are the the same size as those in short people but with more empty space around them? If it’s the latter, then being tall would probably give you a better chance of surviving a single random stab to your stomach area right?
Def. proportionately larger. Source: Anatomy nerd.
