    Default Too Tall...

    I have a problem- I wish I was shorter! Whenever I'm around shorter women, which is most of the time, I feel like a giant oaf around them. A giant, less feminine, less girly, more boyish awkward oaf.

    Any other tall girls feel this way? (I'm 6'0 btw)

    hell, embrace it!!! supermodels are that tall, and they are our society's cultural icons of beauty and femininity. Funny, I'm 5'3 and I always feel short and squat and a failure to be feminine... plus I can't ride most of the bikes I want cause my f*cking feet won't touch the ground!!! Girl- you're lucky- with height comes ability!!!


    but i do understand what you mean- esp. when you're taller than some guys- because our culture sends SUCH a mixed message about that. we must be tall and gaunt and beautiful, but short and small and not seen... "lesser" than our partners.

    Look at your height as an unconscious feminist statement. "I refuse to be small and unseen."

    Corsica, I feel your pain. I'm 6' also. And not petite, anywhere. Big boobs, big shoulders and I've got some ass abck there too.

    There are some days I would kill to have one of those little tight bodies of those 5'4" girls, wearing those little tight clothes and cute little shoes (fuckers) But then there are days when I love how tall I am and how strong I look.

    I know I stand out in a crowd, sometimes I like that, sometimes it makes me feel a wee bit insecure. I know that I have to shop harder to find stuff to fit my frame but usually when I do, the outfits look killer on me!

    as far as feeling oafish, less feminine etc.....yah, I'm all over that one too. But really, you know you are not any less feminine than any other girl... so stand up straight, throw your shoulders back, and you rock your great big oafish self!

    Would you like to trade for a day?? I'd KILL to be 6', just for a day. I'm 5'2. I'll say it, I'm envious of tall girls, I look stumpy without heels, they look statuesque.

    Well, I've felt too tall since highschool...although, I'm only 5'7''. [I wonder if women are shorter where I live?] I've gotten this idea in my head that men love petite women who are the size of 12-year olds, and so I would kind of strive to fit that ideal. In highschool, and for awhile after, it was flip-flops exclusively, too small shirts from A&F, and baggy pants which I thought made me look smaller, but--in hindsight--I'm sure it did the opposite. (Hindsight is always 20/20, right?)
    Anyways, lately I've come to embrace my height. I'm no Amazon, but like I said, I guess women are just grown smaller here...
    When I decided I was ready to get put up in the 'big-girl shoes', I felt wonderful. I learned how shapely my legs and butt could look with high heels, and how feminine I felt, even standing next to (and towering over) my peers. I wear shoes w/ some kind of heel almost daily. And I'm starting to think I'd rather look like a tall, statuesque super model, than a tiny little girl.
    I was rambling, sorry it's so long..

    I'm 5'4" and I would love to be at least 5'9". When I gain 5 pounds, people notice. But taller girls can gain a small amount of weight and it's not as noticeable. Plus tall girls' legs look awesome in high heels.

    I think the "standing out in a crowd" by literally towering over it bugs me a lot too. I'm pretty insecure, so I'd rather blend in most times...

    i'm 5'5 but i was wish i was either taller or shorter. That way i could either be a tall girl or a petite girl. It sucks being "average". It especially sucks cause since i did get really long legs, my torso looks short and stumpy in comparison.

    My best friend is six feet tall, and she has issues with it. But she is GORGEOUS. When we worked together, I always needed her to help me reach things in the high up cabinets.

    In a sociology class I had a few years ago, they said that tall women in Western society are beginning to get the same unconscious preferential treatment that tall men do (like getting better jobs, being treated more respectfully, etc). So embrace the fact that you're more likely to succeed because of your height, statistically speaking.

    Ha ha ha

    The horse was small. So any jockey would be big on him. That was a good movie too. I think he was like 14 or 15 hands. I would have to look it up.

    I'm 5'8' and I love it. I wouldn't want to be shorter, ever. I always wear heels too, 4 inch plus. I think being tall commands attention and when was the last time you saw a short supermodel?

    Things I hate when being tall:
    Being stared at
    Bus seats
    Bathroom stalls
    Movie theater seats (basically public seating)
    Jeans
    long sleeved shirts
    wind chimes and chandeliers (sp?)
    the fact that most everyone can see up my nose.

    Things I love when being tall:
    I can always find my friends in a crowded place
    Little kids stare at me with awe
    When he kisses me from "here" to "there" it takes a really long time
    My legs in shorts
    When I gain weight it takes longer to "appear"

    The lsit could go on and on... but that's as far as I got

    im 5'7" and athleticly built. it sucks cause if im not on top of working out it shows fast. im not statuesque enough to look hot in shorts but with heels or wedges im super tall and akward. everyone i grew up with was hispanic or middle eastern so i was always the tall blonde buff girl with small boobs.

    Exotic hit it on the head....the jeans shopping- ugh! I'm 6ft also, broad shoulders, long arms, big feet it just sucks sometimes. When I got jacket/long sleeve shirt shopping so many of them don't come past my wrist .

    I don't always mind it though. I'm not sure if I would be shorter permanently if given the chance. I just wish the was a magical way to stay the same height while wearing heels. It's the heels really that get all the comments going.

    I have been told a few times I give off a don't fuck with me look which has alot to do with my height I'm sure because that is not my personality. And it is cool because everyone thinks you should be a model or you can be a model.

    We do carry our weight very well also. People almost always think I am 25/30 lbs less than my actual weight.

    No one in a crowd even sees me. I can't see bands at shows. Cars just aren't made for short people either. I always wanted to be tall. I am 5'.

    Yes, but there's also cars like the RX-8 that I would LOVE to have but I'm so tall I don't even fit inside

    I also hate the fact that most cars do not have a tall enough roof line.

    i'm 5'9" and i always wish i was shorter. i guess i wouldn't mind being tall if i was slimmer and had smaller hips, but i always feel like i'm just so fucking HUGE around all my short little petite friends.

    i always wish that i was petite and little
