>>68788>I'm 6'1" and I get a lot of stares from other women.I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they were stares of jealousy, anon. I'm 5'3" and I've ALWAYS wanted to be your height, and I'm sure there's plenty of other girls who feel the way I do. Tall women are so beautiful and elegant. I know there must be challenges to being that tall, but please try not to let others make other people let you feel bad about yourself if they stare or are intimidated by you. Own your height because it's badass.
Plus you have a great excuse to look for a 6'5"+ man :')

The stares are probably jealousy and that guy was insecure (or just not into tall girls,which can be understandable because to each their own preference, but don't think about it too much)

My ex gf was tall as fuck and I loved it and thought it was so hot. But I'm short and happy with it too. 5'2 here but most of it is legs and my figure is pretty nice with exercise. I used to hate being this short like anon here
>>68812 but I love it now. I can wear heels without towering over people, I have a huge range of clothing options and my preferred clothing style looks great on my frame/height, and my partner (and every person I've liked earlier) absolutely loved how petite I look compared to them. I love the fact that I still get mistaken for an 18 year old despite being in my late 20s.

>>68812>Also if I gain or lose 1 or two kilos it becomes very noticeableI've always been so confused by short people saying this or also "I gain weight so much quicker, if I was tall I could eat without gaining!"? Like, if you're tall your appetite increases accordingly. I used to be self conscious about eating more than my friends until I realized that I'm way taller so /of course/ I'm more hungry, a tall body burns more calories!
It's so weird how convinced short girls seem that if they were taller they would look slimmer.
>Tall women are so graceful and elegant to meOnly if they're underweight. Sure, short normal weight girls might not be elegant, but at least you're cute.
Tall normal weight girls? "Giants/Masculine/Big"
No. 68841
>>68840>your appetite increases but so does your overall calories neededWhich is why it's equally hard for short/regular/tall people to lose weight.
Like, for example:
Short person A: eats 1200 cals. Regular person B: 1300. Tall person C: 1400.
All these people are going to feel full the same length, and let's assume that those are the cals for them to maintain their weight.
Next: Weight loss
A: 1100 B: 1200 C: 1300 -> They will lose weight while all feeling equally hungry thus having it EQUALLY AS HARD to lose weight.
Sure A could go on to whine about "C can eat so much more while losing weight!! Not fair!!" But that's disregarding that it's much harder for a tall person to sustain 1100 cals than it is for a short person.
Obviously all this is overly simplified, but y'know, energy isn't magic.

I'm 5'10 and i absolutely hate it…
My whole life i've had disadvantages because of it; in kindergarten i was often scolded as the only person out of my group and than later on my teacher came up to me again and apologized, saying she always needs to remind herself that i'm not older than anybody else and therefore don't need to act more mature.
When i was 8 my grandma fell ill and whilst visiting my parents gave me some money to buy ice cream downstairs. On my way a woman stopped me and asked whether i'm a nurse; i had no idea how to react!
When i was 10 my dad walked with his arm around me and some dude yelled something like 'pretty couple' at us…
When i entered middle school on the first day everybody stared and whispered about me and some teacher asked me if i had to repeat class, because i obviously had to be older.
Even now as a young adult i still get some people laughing about how weirdly tall i am, rude man saying that they can't see standing 'behind a man'. Some children (and we all know that they are the most honest) ask whether i'm a boy or a girl.
Try finding a coat that doesn't end midway to your arms! Shortening trousers etc is always easier…
So in conclusion as a child everybody always had higher expectations, thinking that i'm older; if i did well in sports, i got "well it's obvious with your long legs", men always make fun of me and no, just because i'm tall it doesn't mean i'm immedeatly more confident.
All the tall girls in my class were the shy ones and the short girls were the cute anfmd popluar ones… I thought i'd stop, once i'm an adult but it doesn't and don't even get me on my dating options… Yes there might be men saying models are popluar and they are tall, but i'm no model! Most men are shorter than me and even if they are taller it doesn't mean that they don't prefer somebody normal sized.
I really don't get all these short girls wishing they were as tall as me, you don't know what you wish for. I get that being super short is also not ideal but being tall certainly isn't all rosy either, how can you say you want to be abnormaly tall if you've never experienced it? Just because i know that some dudes find short girls cute, i don't say thinks like oh i'd like to be 5 ft!
Being average simply is the best…

>>68842I forgot to add something that somebody else already posted before: being tall might be desirable, bur only and really only if you are very slim! Than you can fall in the modelish category, but otherwise even with only a little bit of extra weight you'll simply look gigantic.

5'11" here. I don't really feel like I'm significantly taller than people even though I have 5'0 friends. Sure, I felt awkward about it in my childhood and teen years, but you get over it and embrace it. In fact, I think it's kind of funny/dumb that some presumably 18+ anons in this thread think they're 'manly' or freakish for being 5'8"-5'10", I don't even consider that really tall tbh (since you can still find loads of shoes in your sizes lol) but I'm also not actively keeping track of how tall I am compared to my peers. You can still have a feminine style and be tall, don't be so insecure, guys. As an "above average height" person I definitely never notice when people are shorter than me, so.
My boyfriend is the exact same height as me which is also cool.
I think my only issues with being tall are:
- Very limited shoe selection past size 11 (my feet seem to have recently grown so now I only fit in 12, aside from sandals). Most of the shoes I have ever wanted because they would have been affordable & frequently worn only go up to like, size 9 or 10
- Every store has a petites section, but no tall section (irl, not online)
- Literally only Levi's carries pants with the fucking length measurements on them for women. I have never seen any other women's brand do this in irl stores. All of my jeans have come from Levi's, Gap, or Banana Republic Tall sections for this reason
- All of the above is harder to find and more expensive than petite/average clothes
- Can't buy skirts, pants, dresses from stores like Forever 21 / H&M / fast fashion etc because they're comically too short

Skirts and dresses that hit above the knee are key, probably why they're so popular in Japan and Korea - East Asians tend to have long torso proportions but I wish I could find a way to make skinny jeans look flattering.
Do you find that you "carry your weight better" than other girls your height? Like looking on MBG, most of the other girls my height/weight have some stomach pudge while I have none, and I'm wondering if it's because of my proportions.

I get the insecurity, I've been there myself, (175cm / 5'9 here). but does it really matter if most guys are shorter than you or your height? I personally don't want the average guy, or 'most guys'.
You can be cute and you can be sexy, it has nothing to do with height (look at models)! If any man makes you feel insecure about your height then you need to leave him for a better guy. And if any short woman talks shit and she is your friend, then you need to get a new friend.
this makes me so sad, I really hope that all you women who are insecure manage to deal with that and feel positive about yourself.

Stuff like that really destroy all your confidence… and the worst thing is, i really never dated anyone.
When you are of average height, the vast majority of men is taller and therefore - in theory - dateable. If you are taller than the average men, your dating pool becomes already very small, and just because a guy is taller doesn't immediately mean he also likes tall girls; and on't get me started and well you could date shorter boys!

I used to be really insecure about my height in middle school, but now don't care about it anymore.
Happy because in the recent months I dropped from 71kg to 66.5kg and going down, so look more petite than before.
Guess it is because of the fact, that with time guys in class got taller, so I am not the tallest in the group.
