Is 6'3 (191cm) for a girl too tall?

Question

Hey there!
I'm a 6'3 18 year old girl and I'm skinny. The thing is I always feel too tall. I'm the tallest in school (including boys) and all of my friends are like 5'3 (160cm). We can't take cute photos together because the difference is too big so I just look awkward. Also I can't wear heels or I'll be like 6'7 and just sillily tall. Girls also like to compare sizes with me as it makes them feel ''elegant'' when my hand is double the size of theirs. I've also never had a boyfriend before, because I'm too tall. Obviously clothes shopping is a nightmare too.
What can I do to stop this? Thanks in advance!

There's nothing you can do about your height. What you CAN change is how you think of it. In Engineering, we like to say "That's not a flaw! that's a feature!" find things you adore about your height; the advantages it gives you, instead of the things it makes awkward. And go date the basketball team; some of them, even the short ones, are used to tall women, and will be grateful to see one in their scale.

When I was on my first ship. I had a supervisor who was at least 6'6". His name was Tony Cardoza. One of the nicest fellows I've ever met, but at only 5'8" I didn't even reach his chin. :) His wife was beautiful, and almost as tall as you. I can see why they fell in love; the dating pool for them must have been tiny, and they're both wonderful folks. I consider it a privilege to have known them.
Be like the Cardozas. stand tall, be kind, and look around you for guys who also tower over their fellows. You can spot them further off than your friends; you're looking over their heads! :)

Yes it is. And I'm not going to lie to you... you WILL have problems dating the kind of guy you want. Your chances of finding a guy taller than you are infinitesimally small especially given how tall men are already in short supply and desirable (I'm 6'3" too by the way :) I would know).

You're certainly not hopeless though - you just need to become accepting of certain things - such as the fact that you will always have shorter friends and your future boyfriend or husband will more than likely be shorter than you. There's no reason you can't otherwise live an awesome life.

Most of my family is really tall... I am a random "short" one (5'6" so short compared to the rest of the family but not other people) group pictures are tall in back or all on couches. And all my aunt's at over 6 feet still wear heels and all have tall husbands. Look at the up side (pun intended) clothes look better on you than anyone else. If you are having trouble with pants being too short check the Hem almost all pants double over the Hem so there is an extra 1-2" of fabric there if you take the stitching out and restitch it. When you buy pants that are short just look at the ends and see if there is extra there to work with.

Date basketball players and customize your own clothes. I mean you can't cut your legs off so you might as well just accept that you're tall and roll with it. And that's not a bad thing!

Unless you have a pituitary problem (unlikely, but not impossible) you are simply growing to your natural height. There's nothing you can do to stop it unless you have a medical problem.

You should get checked out, but assuming you're healthy, then you need to accept and embrace your difference. It does not make you less of a woman in any way. In fact, it literally makes you more of a woman. You need to throw yourself into accepting that you are more. Boys right now at your age are very unsure of themselves, and they're afraid to approach girls who fall outside of the average. Just wait a couple of years. That'll change big time. Be ready for that change by making the most of yourself.

You'll be done with school soon enough and out in the real world where I promise there will be plenty of men who find you stunningly attractive. You'll also meet people of all different shapes, sizes and backgrounds.

I'm 6'3 and I've dated women who are 5'2, so you can definitely make the photo thing work, I promise.

Honestly I love tall girls. Every girl I've dated has been shorter than me because girls taller than me need guys taller than *them* so I'm not even an option.

Congratulations, you've won part of the genetic Olympics that makes you way more likely to work for Victoria Secret. Don't think of you being tall as a hindrance, use it as a benefit to you.

Like you can? Lol, girl, just relax. There's boys who don't care, I promise you that. Give it a bit more time.

No, I don't think it's too tall, but I really like tall women and if I were a classmate of yours, would probably be very attracted to you and ask you out. Just give guys who are a little shorter than you a chance, and you'll have some options.

You are literally at the tallest of my tolerance for women and I like it, never did a chick taller than me, I'm 5'11 but I wear boots that make me 6'1"

You're not the tallest in your school. No it's not too tall, there was a girl named Savannah in my 6th grade class she was 6'2" 1/2. I wonder how tall she is now lmao 4 years later.
