Like I feel like being a confident, stylish, bad b-tch is reserved for tall or average size women. A woman who is in the range of 5’0-5’4, cannot be that way or else it just looks like they’re over compensating or trying too hard. Do any other people feel this way?
Why are some short women overly confident?

What Girls Said
Lol, it’s called Chihuahua syndrome. Short men do it but far more than shorter women.. being a taller woman comes with natural confidence. Even if you don’t have confidence, just being tall you are assumed naturally assertive.
I don’t think a shorter woman can not look as confident as tall but it just takes twice the effort. It’s kind of like it a tall woman tried to be petite. I’m 5’9” and sometimes wish I had that petite effect shorter girls have, while they wish they had that confidence effect I have. That’s just how it is.
So you’re saying short girls have to be meek and quiet/boring? It doesn’t take twice the effort at all.
No, I didn’t say that. Nowhere did I say that. But if you think about it, you take a shorter model and put her next to a supermodel, quite obviously the supermodel is going to stand out in all ways. Whereas the shorter model is going to look more petite and approachable. I don’t care who the woman is in comparison, the tall woman is always going to look more confident by default.
It most definitely takes twice the effort. For a short woman to look as confident and remove herself from that chihuahua syndrome, she may have to wear high heels, stand tall and proud. I think about Ariana Grande. Ariana Grande is 5’1” but she presents so confidently you would have never guessed, but why does she appear so confidently? Because of efforts to make her look tall, long and lean.
Well yeah but there’s tall girls who don’t stand out, there’s so many celebs that are 5’5 and under that are baddies but y’all don’t even know 💀. I’ve seen short girls that naturally stand out, are you saying short girls have to be the ugly quiet insecure ones and tall girls have to be like… Maddy Perez?
There are short girls who aren’t approachable either lmao. How come if a tall is confident it’s not Chihuahua syndrome but with a short girl it is? 💀
Girl.. calm down. No is coming for you. You asked a question and I answered it. You even said in your question “I feel like being a tall confident bad b-tch is reserved for average-tall women” now you’re trying to say otherwise? Lol..
Look, nowhere did I say shorter women can’t have confidence, LET ME REPEAT THAT AGAIN. I just said, for taller women, taller people IN GENERAL, it’s natural. That’s why supermodels are tall. Because you look more naturally confident when you’re tall. No one’s saying short women can’t be naturally confident but yes, on average they do have to make themselves look taller to get the same effect. I. E. wearing tall heels and being skinnier and taller looking.
You have some sort of complex and it’s weird because I actually haven’t said anything bad about shorter women so it’s obviously just you.
Super models are tall because of sample sizes. I’m just asking why is being outspoken/assertive natural on tall girls but for short ones it’s “overcompensating” “little man syndrome”, it implies that short women are supposed to be meek or soft spoken. Tall girls can be just as invisible lmao. It’s just if someone like Rihanna was 5’2, people would say she’s overcompensating.
Like tall girls are the first to say “she’s just overcompensating.” when a short girl is super confident.
No, mam. You need to do a little research on why most models are tall. When you google “why are supermodels tall” here’s the response:
“The taller the person, the easier they are to see on a catwalk or even while walking through a crowd. They're better at drawing attention from a distance, successfully attracting the audience to themselves and their products. Shorter people, it's believed, are simply more likely to be overlooked.“
Which is factual. That’s just how it is and that’s how it’s been for a long time. I don’t make the rules, hun. I just literally showed you an example of short celebs who very confidently and you’re still arguing.. Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, Sabrina Carpenter who’s LITERALLY 4’11”.. but they are all extremely confident despite their stature, but you put them next to a Runway model it’s a different story. Tall people since literally forever have been seen as more confident on average by most of society. Here’s an article on it
blog.heightlengthening.com/confidence-and-your-height
And I’ve never read anywhere these celebs being shamed for their height so not sure what you’re referring to. Never seen anyone shaming Ariana Grande for being 5’1” in fact most people probably thought she was a lot taller.
I didn’t say that lol I said there’s tons of celebs who are baddies, and are short but you don’t even know. And if a short girl is on a runway, people get oddly hostile. When in reality, on video, you can’t even tell 💀. I recently saw a couple models who were on swimwear runway shows that were nothing but 5’4. But like I said I noticed tall girls get weird when a short girl is super confident/fashionable, like “She’s over compensating”, “It’s chihuahua syndrome.”. I don’t see why taller girls can wear whatever but short girls have to dress basic/plain or else it’s overcompensating.
Also what do you mean “despite” their height? That’s like “She’s confident despite her skin color.” I will say tall women can pull off being bullies/mean girls, I’ll give credit where it’s due.
Lol, most women are short or average. That’s no secret. I’m 5’9” and I’m taller than 95% of women so yeah.
Second, seems you’re insecure about your height. Shorter girls being on runway, has happened plenty of times. And yes models do get hostile because modeling is seen as a tall persons sport for the most part. Just like basketball. Most people in basketball are incredibly tall but there are some short players and the players might be judge mental. Does that mean they’re jealous? No. Why would they be?
Let’s be real, some short girls do overcompensate. A lot of them like wearing super high heels to overcompensate for the height or have loud personalities. Same with short guys who get big trucks to overcompensate. Do they all do that? No.
Even tall women who don’t like standing out try to make themselves look smaller by slouching a lot, having bad posture. Tall and short people who have complexes about their height do things. Whatever examples you’re giving there’s nothing really you can do about it because I can tell you right now, society IN GENERAL says that about short people. Not just tall, even a 5’2” would make fun of a woman for being 4’11”
First of all “she’s confident despite her skin color” is definitely a thing lol.. society is very judgmental of darker skinned women. Yes, the world is shallow. Has been shallow. Short people have always had a stigma against them. So have tall people. I don’t think it’s bad being short or tall. I’m 5’9” and have been told by shorter women I’d never get a boyfriend because I was too tall.. which is LOL but I am not going to sit here and talk about short women negatively because I don’t care nor do I want to be short or feel threatened by a short woman 😉
Well, I mean I’m not tall but not short either lol. And, it does come across jealous because why not just be hostile to the casting directors? Instead of taking it out on an innocent model and trying to be Regina George. And it’s crazy because you can’t judge their walks, their ability to pose, their charisma you just judge what they can’t help & make yourself look weird💀 Because at the end of the day, on video/camera you can’t tell. And why not wear super tall heels? Heels are THE bad b shoe and look good with everything. And make every outfit better. I’m 5’5 and none of my heels are under 5in. See, I’ve dated men and women who are over 6ft so 5’9 isn’t like HUGE SKYSCRAPER STATUS to me.
But tall women and tall men like short women. It’s just I feel like if you shrunk Tyra Naomi Rihanna Zendaya they’d still be the beautiful goddesses everyone knows them to be. You can very much be gorgeous AND be short.
I mean, to be fair, you see tall guys picking on short guys all of the time about their height lol, but almost every man wants to be taller.. so what’s there to be jealous about?
Have you ever thought maybe models are picking on the shorter girl because I don’t know, the model is just a generally awful person? Every model is not picking on the short woman. And in general the hate comments are coming from the comment sections.. even shorter women themselves lol. I remember Bella Poarch was walking a runway and they were literally shaming her in the comments. Men, women, tall, short, fat, skinny, EVERYONE. Do I think it was right? No. But you seem to always want to single out tall girls which leads me to believe you have a jealousy problem yourself. Shorter women have made fun of my height my whole life but I don’t sit here talking shit about them.
Also, never said I was a skyscraper but I’m obviously a tall woman so I can tell you how it is. You’ve asked a similar question like this before I definitely remember you, you’re really going through some insecurity problems. I can tell you right now your lack of confidence has nothing to do with your height.. lol. You’re just in general, a very insecure person. No one’s fault but your own hun.
“Tall women and tall men like short women” LOL! Says who? I can tell you right now, I’ve never wanted to be short nor have I ever had a problem getting a guy because of my height. And no, Naomi Campbells whole appeal was being a tall, runway model. No model from that era of the most influential runway models was short. Let’s be real. Rihanna and Zendaya, sure. But let’s be real. Being tall is the runway model norm. And that’s never going to change.
Oh no no I never meant all of them like short women over tall women that’s not what I meant AT ALL🤣🤣I just meant there’s tall women find short women attractive and tall men who do too. I worded that weird. I’m talking about tall women who LIKE women as in romantically. Then there’s ones who like tall women. And I don't know who Bella is lmao. And I’m not insecure I’m just saying why are there personality stereotypes assigned to women based off …. how they’re born.
It’s not even lack of confidence it’s me being curious in general why short girls can’t act a certain way without being accused of overcompensating but tall girls can.
Well, ask society why they created these personality stereotypes. I’m sure there are some tall women who want to come off as more feminine because most tall girls are seen as intimidating and dominating and so on and so fourth. All I’m literally saying is that the chip you have on your shoulder is societies own narrative that’s being pushed. It’s not just women it’s short men, short dogs short anything. It really shouldn’t matter to you though.
I… don’t have a chip on my shoulder lol. I ain’t even that tiny this is an observation. And tall women aren’t automatically intimidating because intimidating means dangerous. People that can hurt you are intimidating, like a g@ng member. I always thought the “They’re big so they’re intimidating.” was very corny and movie-ish. But when I said “Tall men and tall women like short women.” I just kinda meant that in general not like “More than tall women”. And I wasn’t talking about heterosexual tall women either so you didn’t even fit that statement lol. But for you, you’re not even THAT tall, and you keep bringing up runway models😭. And the basketball player and
model thing, why be hostile JUST cause of their height? That’s something 15 year olds would do. Ever heard “don’t hate the player, hate the game.”?
Also height is 1 part of someone’s character. I’m getting the vibe you look down on women shorter than you? (Not literally)
I used to think that way too, as I’m 5’2 myself. But then I met the most naturally intimidating woman. She just had this big dick energy, and I knew I didn’t want to get on her bad side, and she was all of 5’0.
Was she stubby? Because if so that makes it cringey.
what else they gonna do
Just be themselves like there’s a 5’3 girl I know who wore a fur coat to the club 🤦♀️
