Girls, are you ever insecure about your height? How tall are you?

[SmasherJosh5000]

Yes

No

When I was a teen and in my early 20s, I sometimes didn't like being tall because I was painfully shy getting attention from everyone or almost everywhere wherever I went made me feel so awkward and uncomfortable. I was talkative and funny and all with bunch of friends, so them giving me attention and commenting/complimenting on my height was fine, it's the strangers or people I barely know giving me a compliment or comment on my height made wish I was invisible. I didn't like it.

Now? It is what it is. It doesn't bother me. I don't think much. In fact, sometimes I even like being tall because certain kind of dresses looks good on tall girls, so that is nice. If someone comments on my height or anything, I'll just smile and say thank you and forget about it the next second, lol.

Yes I'm 5ft and it can be so annoying at times because I always get stupid jokes and I have to ask for help a lot which I hate.

Also I put on weight a lot easier and it really shows because there less of me to hide it then with tall people. It's also really hard to find nice jeans that fit means sometimes I really want to have long sexy legs like the models but instead I like shetland pony.

I know most guys find my hight to be attractive but when I ask them for help they think I'm hitting on them or something when I fact I'm genuinely asking because I need their help

There was a guy that might have liked me and he says he's very short so sometimes I wonder if I'm too tall for him. I have never met him in person.

Not at all. It's probably the only thing in my whole entire life about me that I've never experienced any sort of insecurity about. I've been one of the tallest, or the tallest girl all the way through high school and I was made fun of a lot as a kid for being tall, but it just never got to me. My mom literally told me that I should wear flat shoes at prom so I won't appear taller than my date in our Prom picture. (I did not). It's funny because I see other women who aren't insecure about the things I am, and I'm like how do they do it, but it's just ignoring all that as someone else's problem and just focusing on what makes you happy and being proud or at least okay with who you are.

I did a long time ago but now I'm so happy I'm short and prefer it that way:). I'm 5'2 by the way.

I was bullied for my height by other girls that later came around admitting they wish they were short like me. All heights are beuatiful though. Their are good and bad things in both of them.

[Spongebobssocks]

How about you @SmasherJosh5000 ?

[SmasherJosh5000]

I am about 172cm which is about 5'7 and I have been teased about my height however I am kinda indifferent to my height, I think the girls did that to you out of jealousy, I have to ask how did you fair getting guys opposed to your taller friends? I actually personally find short ladies attractive

[Spongebobssocks]

I see. Well you are around avarage height and most women are definatly shorter than you plus you dont need to bend your head when walking in to a room or have your knees at your stomach on a flight.. so all good!:)

Yeah I've had some guys make moves on me but I'm too shy so nothing happened... usually more than tall female friends. Maybe thats also because most women wanna date men taller than them and men knowing that they go for shorter once.

How about you? Has your height affected you in dating?

[SmasherJosh5000]

Well, I don't know about my height probably because I ain't very sociable and prefer to be alone, however my first girlfriend was shorter than me she was below average height. I can't speak for every man but there's a need for me to protect her especially more so if she's short because remember men are bigger

[Spongebobssocks]

Yeah I could see that being true. Its human nature I guess.:)

[midnightmoon05]

At some point I was…prob was the time I was growing…so I played basketball hoping it would help my growth…didn’t help. So I wore heels a lot. My ex was 6’2. I am 5ft.
now, I am fine with my height. I have build confidence overall and not be bother by being short.

[devilish-cutie]

i voted no, im 5' 5'', but one guy i liked said he liked tall girls, he was 6' 6'', so after that when i like a tall guy i wonder if he considers me short and would prefer taller girl... but i like myself the way i am, i wouldn't want to be taller

[Thatpearl26]

Not really I’m 5’4 which is a pretty average height for a woman. When I was younger though I would be teased for being short. When I would occasionally be more harshly teased I would just answer with “How’s the polluted air up there? I think it got to your brain already. No wonder you smell like gas”. With those answers I would turn the conversation around and they would stop annoying me about my height.

[Sour-rose]

With my friends at school, yeah. But I know of an adult woman who looks like a kid. Like she's 9. I mean she was short, looked young as a kid aaand not a child. I'm just glad to not be the size of a dwarf. I couldn't run for anything If I got in trouble

[Sugar100]

I’m 5ft. I feel insecure because I’m a grown women and since im not tall like a normal sized adult I don’t look like an adult. I think people see me as a teenager or a little girl. But truth is I’m a 25 year old grown women. Even when I have a kid I will look like a little girl carrying her sister and not my own baby. To make it worse I have a baby face and baby voice. People say sweetie hun or sweetheart. And I’m not a little girl I’m a women. I won’t be taken serious and be laughed at.

[Punk-y]

Yes, I'm 162 cm (5'4) and I always wanted to be shorter. Now I don't really mind that much, but sometimes shorter girls call me tall and it hurts a little bit hah, it's stupid but it was a big insecurity when I was younger and it didn't completely go away at this age lol

[Punk-y]

Some guys have called me tall too and I think that hurts even more lol

[Enaya]

I am perfectly petite. No issues. I do wish to reach certain things though. I have the personality to compensate if people don't automatically see me as a leader. My height never turned off a man. Petite seems more popular if anything.
