NOPE! In school, I was quite literally one of, or the only tall girl in my classes. I have this picture of me in 5th grade where all of my girl peers are a full foot shorter than me. I get my height from my dad's side where everyone is 6ft and up, whereas my mom's side is all like 5'3-5-5 or so, so in family pictures with them, it seems like I'm not even related, lol. However, despite being teased relentlessly, and having just about every tall based nick name in the book thrown at me, it never bothered me, not even as a kid. I always loved my height and embraced the teasing. In middle school, kids called myself and this other girl who was tall too, giants, so we took on the moniker, "the twin giants," and we ran with it. Made t-shirts, made up our theme song, and the whole bit. We never let other's control the way we felt about ourselves which is that we liked who we are as tall girls. I can only speak for myself on this one, and I'd never tell you not to feel the way you do because it definitely can get awkward at times, or feel like people only see you for your height and not you, but I would hope to encourage you to just love yourself as you are a little bit more each day because who you are is awesome!
In Scandinavia a lot are 5'9 or taller, I am insane tall 6'8 and had times where I wish I were shorter when younger. But to be honest I'd met more people who whish they were taller, or at least had some of my leg length. And most men I know would love 10 more in height. But one thing I really think is annoying abouy height is the attention i get. And that the attention draw away attention from them who need the attention knowing many other women who love the attention of they just bought a new dress or new hairstyle. I'd always try to come first at a party and get a seat, so I don't take away the attention from the the hostess. Once I arrived a little late at a wedding, and when I came on the room , the bride & grooms were kitting the wedding cake, and should be pictured, so everyone suddenly looked at this super tall women who arrived so dam embrassing. But ever since I found my hubby things changed completely he adore my height and call it a great plus, by the way he's only avarage height, but don'tind me towering him with over 20 cm , he even get me high heels, and love my long legs
can't speak for the woman side but I can give you my opinion on it.
I personally would like my girlfriend to be smaller than me just for one reason, the natural instinct of safety. I dont think its really important or as prominent as it was hundrets of years ago but I wanna give my girlfriend a feeling of safety and since its still an instinct to feel safe around tall friendly people so it fills me with satisfaction to be able to give that kind of feeling to my girlfriend, but I wouldn't say that I mind girls bigger than me, to me its something that would not change my decision in any direction if I like a girl or not. So to actually answer your question in my opinion no one should want to be smaller or taller, no matter gender or location, since there will always be someone somewhere who is just right for you and likes you the way you are. (At least thats what I want to believe)
Guys don’t care about height that much. If you are taller than the guy and youare cool with it then it’s no big deal. It’s far worse for a man to be short. Girls who are tall are considered beautiful, you are actually not that tall most female models are like 5ft10 to 6ft. On top of that you have a very beautiful face and you have a fit body so you shouldn’t have any problems with men. I think the only men that will reject or make fun of you are the men that are insecure about their height. Why would you want a guy like that anyway. Hope this helped!

I’m 5’10” and was taller than my grade 6 teacher when still in his class at an elementary that was 95% Filipino so I was almost a head taller than most classmates. Most people around where I live are either Indian or Chinese so.. I get what you mean about wishing I was shorter. I remember being told multiple times, even as a kid, that it’d be tough for me to find a guy as ‘guys prefer girls who are shorter’, yaddayadda.
Thankfully I’ve never been teased in any way for my height and my fiancé is a few inches shorter than me. I’ve actually grown to like my height as I’ve realized that a lot of the negativity was all in my head.
People told me guys wouldn’t like me because of my height, but did I ever get turned down for that? No.
Did girls ever tease me for being different than the norm? No.
It’s a bit of a hassle buying some clothing (like pants that are either long enough and/or not way too big at the waist) but whatever. I’ve embraced the idea of cropped pants. 😜
TLDR- the only people who have issue with my height are strangers who come and go so I’ve learned to love my height by staying fit and almost improving the assets my height brings with it.
I'm 4' 11", so very short.
In the workplace, people take you less seriously when you are a short woman for the same reason it makes you more advantageous to date. As a taller women, you "take up more space" and I think are automatically given more respect. People are less likely to second guess your age (thinking short is the same as young and inexperienced) and they are more likely to look you in the eye when you are speaking.
I have found taller people are more likely to look at things behind you, than at your face because it is "unnatural" to look down so much. Think about it. As a kid you always felt more comfortable talking "down" to someone shorter than you. This bias exists in the real world too. Sure short people have opinions, but taller people assume a level of accessibility to short people, the same way we "Give more space" or naturally look up to taller people. This is just from my own experience.
I don’t know why so many tall girls are self-conscious with their height when we, short girls are the ones who should feel that way. Tall girls are beautiful! They tend to have longer legs and clothes look better on them. Being short is okay but we need to be more selective at choosing our outfit. You are lucky to be tall.
Height is natural so one should embrace is. At 5'9 you're definitely tall for an Asian girl but I won't say super tall. I'm 5'10 and my ex girlfriend is 6'2 and she's also South Asian. We never made each other feel awkward about our heights and she'd even wear heels and I had no issue with that whatsoever. If you like someone, height should not be an issue. Hope this helps :)
Up until a couple of years ago, I was very tall. Throughout elementary and middle school, I was always taller than most of my peers. I stopped growing at the end of middle school, and most of my friends (especially guys) ended up being taller than me. Being average height now is SO much better than being tall was. I know it's a different situation, but same idea
You are absolutely gorgeous. If I was 100 years younger you wouldn't be able to get rid of me.
I have a feeling you are teased because other girls are jealous and boys are intimidated by you because you are so pretty.
Whether you are tall or short, never feel self conscious about your height. There are beautiful women of every height. And you are one of them.
I would say you should own your height, for some it might be bad to be this tall, for others it might be a dream. But for you, it's reality, your reality, which is actually not a bad reality or a good one, it just is. No one is likely to have everything in life, I don't. What you have just wants acceptance, from you. Besides you have the height of a supermodel, and you would look graceful as one 💓
m i am 5'3 and think 5'9 is a perfect height (i like my height too), but i think tall girls worry that guys are shorter than them, especially if you want to wear heels. there are plenty of tall guys, so don't worry.
I don't. I'm 5'8 inches and love it. Think about it this way, rihanna is 5'8, a lot of victoria secret models are taller and yet they're viewed as very sexy and attractive and a lot of billionaires date tall women.
In elementary i loved being taller than everyone else. Though in middle I just wanted to be average height or shorter. Now I'm a senior, 5'11 and I wanna grow again!
I'm 5'3, I wish I was like 5'6, would be a dream come through for me. So girlfriend, be proud of your height
Im the same height as you and sometimes I wish I were short. Especially since the people I surround myself with are shorter compared to me. I really need more tall friends just so we can relate more.
You have the perfect body. It’s wasted if people are making fun of you wow. I’m not often envious of people- bc it’s pointless and feels weird 😛- but wow you look perfect.
Well last girl I was with was 177 cm and I could still see the top of her head so you're not a giant from where I'm standing.
But you are hella cute i like your style
Embrace yourself and rock your height. You cannot be shorter anyways.
I am happy to be 5’5 or 5’4 but if I was taller I would definitely model.
Xx
5’8 here - not TALL tall but still above average. I do wish I was tinier, if not at least average height.
Unfortunately a lot of tall girls are insecure of their height. Really it's something they should embrace and take advantage of it.
Im from denmark and im 179 cm
And sometimes when i walk past boys i feel normal when i walk past most girls i feel tall
Come and travel to America, we men don't care how tall you are. You look very beautiful on your pic and you want feel uncomfortable out here with us in the US. Your height is normal.
i'm the same height and i've never been insecure about my height. don't know why but i just like it a lot.
