Always been insecure. I’m 5’8”, and 6’3”+ in heels. However I have learned the advantages…
I can ALWAYS see over everyone at a concert. Ain’t no missing out here. All eyes on me when I walk in a room while wearing heels, cause I’m THAT B. I’m always of service at a grocery store, lol. Top shelf privileges. Being tall allows me to shop plus size, petite, and average clothes. All of the above. Men are usually intimidated by me because I can square up the same size.
The disadvantages… jeans are HARD to find. Most look like capri pants. I’m only 5’8”? I swear clothes are meant for people 5’5 and shorter. I need leg room cause I’m all legs baby There’s no such thing as a queen bed.. I need a king only. Shoes can be hard.. I’m size 10.5/11 Womens. I’m the worst at hide and seek. I’m always the seeker :( Most men hate tall women
I'm 5'7 and I was always popular and had more friends than I wanted, good at sports, good worker, I had girlfriends and I was married etc. I'm also a father.
My height just never really meant anything to me because it kind of suited me. I'm not short and stocky where it would be noticeable. I'm athletic and lean so I just basically have the height and body shape of a highschool kid. My face always looked young too so whatever, it worked for me.
My height insecurity started when I kept being called a shortie and a midget, a lot of times from women! I've learned to cope with it better but I do wish I was just a few more inches taller!
I guess it varies a lot between guys and girls. Girls can often take it on the chin and think nothing of it, whilst guys think being shorter can make you look less attractive.
I love my height, I'm 5'8" and I wear miniskirts and high heels all the time to show off my long, toned legs. I've dated guys as short as 5'5" and it seems that "some" guys have an issue being with a girl taller than they are, but that's never bothered me. That being said, my boyfriend is a bit over 6'6" in bare feet, but I'm not with him because he's tall, lol.
I used to hate my height especially in college when you see guys who are 6 feet tall and I am 5'7. But I honestly have accepted my height as I look young for my age and been taking care of my body. Only my brother's ex wife has told me she doesn't like short guys but she's shorter than me like 5'2 or 5'4. The good thing about being 5'7 is that older women who are short will want help reaching items at the grocery store and call me tall. So I basically feel tall for my height though can't reach stuff on a high shelf with a ladder.
i’m 5’6 and i loveeee my height. taller than an average woman and i have pretty legs because of it, but still shorter than the average guy. it’s great.
At one point I surpassed my older sisters, so if anything, I was just upset that I didn’t reach the 6’2 height of my dad. I looked a lot like him and just punched the air when I stopped, but I still love how much I got.
Its exactly the same as me not wanting a girl who is (just for example) overweight. If I reject her based purely on that, I would miss out on possibly getting a girl with a great character.
So what I meant is, if a girl does not at least try see past my height to who I am as a person, then she is not going to see what I can offer in a relationship, and that in a way is her loss.
Once again, its a personal choice on her part and I respect that.
And sorry for coming off as arrogant earlier. Did not mean it that way.
I’m 5’3” while I wish I was taller I’m secure in my height. A little extra would just make teaching the top shelf easier without having to monkey climb because I don’t know how to ask for help lol.
Seeing as my friends are taller (they were guys back in the day), you think I would be? But i'm still looking like a snack and short enough to be considered a young little lady. And able to trick or treat... nah lol
well men are insecure about their height because society puts pressure on them and makes it seem like those under a certain height are undesirable - this is the same with any and all insecurity though because you just constantly compare yourself to the standards set by society and no one can ever meet them all
I love it. I'm 5'7 taller than most of of the people I know. But since I'm Asian, it's hard when it comes to dating. Hard to find a guy who would date a taller girl.
Being 5 ‘5 Iv been told I’ll never be good enough to date unless I’m rich and that I’m a biological failure for the way I was born pretty crappy feeling
