Help, I'm a tall girl and insecure about my height. What do I do?

[Anonymous]

I'm 162 cm and 14. I have a lot of friends, they are older and shorter than me, both guys and girls and it makes me so insecure. I wish I was shorter than 152 cm.
One of my guy friends is 17 and he is 155 cm. He tells me I'm too tall for a girl and that I look like a guy. He laughs at me and his older brothers who are 19 and 22 are also shorter than me. They are 156 and 158 cm.
They compare me to other girls who also are my friends. They are 150 cm or shorter. One is 139 cm and they call her so "cute" and "feminine" and tell me I look like a giant next to her and that I'm too masculine.
I'm not a masculine girl, but my height makes me look like a guy.
I feel so embarrassed for my height. I'm the tallest and youngest in my friend group and I feel like I'll never find love because I'm tall.

I don't know who told you that you are tall but you are not.

You are even slightly below average women height ( 163 cm )

But don't worry, be fast and go to the gym everyday like basket or handball or even football.

I assure you you will grow healthy with a healthy body.

And between, all of your friends are very small

[MrLizard]

And between, when i was the same age than you i was 177 cm.

The average 14 years old height where I leave is like 180 cm

I don't like being "average" because I'm not looked upon as "cute" or feminine. And yes my friends are very small, they are from the Philippines.

[Asker]

And guys don't like girls that are the average height or tall. They only like short girls.

[MrLizard]

Yes you are right. Then you are perfect for them

Get over it!
I'm 6'5" and I personally don't care about a woman's height I've been attracted to as short as 4'9" and as tall as 6'8". But I am turned off by any woman that is over 5'6" that approaches me because I've have learned most of them approach me mainly because of my height and that offends me. I'm a person! My height doesn't define me. And if you think that gives me added value then you're shallow and I don't want to know you.

[Asker]

Thank you but why do adult men tell me I'm too tall then?

[Opinion Owner]

Do you think given your insecurity you might be giving too much weight to a comment? Maybe most of them don't mean anything by it. And they're just ( foolishly) remarking about your height.
I'm not going to lie there probably are SOME guys that aren't attracted to tall girls. But I'm sure the vast majority doesn't care. Guys will always make stupid comments. Try not to take it to heart so much.

So let me get this straight… You are 162cm… Thats converts to 5’3ft? THAT IS NOT TALL!
That is below average for girls.
The people who are 150cm, 155cm etc… That is considered very short.
You are not tall at all., I’m sorry.

[Asker]

Then why do all the men I know including my dad and grandpa call me too tall?

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

Because they are shorter than you. Being called “tall” is not a bad thing.

[Asker]

But guys don't like average or tall girls. :/ I've confessed to guys before and they told me that they would date me if I was shorter.

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

At your age, boys are immature and care too much about those things.
When you get older, boys will appreciate you for who you are

[Asker]

Ok, thank you!

[Neko_Nya]

162 is not tall in the slightest what are you on about

[Asker]

But compared to the people I know I am.

[Cubus]

It's not that tall. Remember that each person is different and grow at different pace. You may still grow for a few years, but you may already stop at 162 while your friends would still grow. You can't predict it. Don't worry so far, girl :)

[Asker]

Okay thank you:)

[Anonymous]

162cm is very short to me even at 14 so I'm confused. Some places that hire female models require taller like 175 or above. As you get older, you might see the opposite and some guys might find you too short

Either way that doesn't matter too much because if your personality shines that will make you attractive to a lot of people a lot of world famous celebrities are both short and tall

[Asker]

But if I really am short why to adult men tell me I'm too tall?

[Opinion Owner]

Maybe you are in a short man area and you are still young. I'm tall in mexico but short in new mexico

[AviatorTom]

Wait another 4 years (when you're 18) and see how many guys will like your height and date you. Be patient.

[Asker]

We'll see. :/

[Agape93]

Hon that's like 5'3, you're short, not tall.

[Asker]

But why do all the guys tell me I'm too tall?

[Agape93]

I doubt they're being serious

[dolemite89]

[Asker]

My friend is 22 and shorter than me, he's done growing I don't see how he could surpass me lol.

[dolemite89]

[Idkanything55528]

[Asker]

Well of course I feel tall when adult men are shorter than me.

[Asker]

[Anonymous]
