Why does EVERYONE make a HUGE deal about how tall a female is?

[AutisticLonelyWoman]

I feel like us tall girls and women are always getting called out. Nobody says how short a woman is or how tiny someone! I am a 6ft tall young woman barefoot. I got called out for my feet size (13/14W shoe in women's) and some guys insult me and I got told I’m not datable and most guys will never be okay with a woman my height.
I got called big and huge with no apologies. One time I wore heels during my senior prom and I got shit for it. Shorter women never get shit for wearing heels. I wore these three inch heels that made me about 6’3”. Women under 5’7” doesn’t get their heights pointed out.
If it’s a 5’4 female, nobody says anything. Nothing! My older sister is 5’2” and nobody says anything, but when it’s me since I’m over 5’9” it’s a big deal. I never understood why shorter women want to be tall and people complain that I am tall or get taller. I’m sick of it!

[GreatBigCircles]

I'm sorry to hear you're getting called out like that. I'm not like, super tall for guy, I'm 6'1", but I get treated differently too. a lot of people feel intimated by me, and it really wears me down emotional when I constantly notice people moving away from me, or trying to avoid you.

Whatever happens though, you should never let others make you feel bad about your body like this. People who go out of their way to tell people they don't know that they don't fit their tastes aren't worth giving free real estate in your brain. And hell, personally I find taller women extremely attractive, but that too shouldn't make be treated like 'permission' to feel good about yourself. Because you don't need permission to be anything. Being is something you get to decide for yourself, always, and you should never be ashamed of existing.

I think tall women are so lovely. I might be contributing to making a big deal out of a tall woman you're complaining about (apologies if so) but I don't understand the big deal with short women with short legs. They look like kids to me just waddling around; I can lift them with one arm.

Beauty as I see it is tall and long and graceful in both men and women. I don't understand this new generation's way of thinking short women are idealistic. I think short women are definitely cuter. That's for sure. Easy to lift and usually rounder faces and bigger faces compared to the rest of their body. But I think elegance and grace is in the tall women.

[Anonymous]

First off I'm really sorry people are treated you badly because of your height. That's not okay and you should cut those people out of your life.

I will however say as a a short woman (I'm 5'2) people comment on my height too and in school a guy would joke about me buying clothes in the kid section etc. Its all good, I dont care but am just saying both short and tall women get comments.

However I'm happy being short but I do think you should be happy with your own height. Don't let their snarky comments affect you. You can talk back too if you want or you can just ignore them.

I don't know why women make such a huge deal about how tall a male is.

[Opinion Owner]

@DarkLegacy i mean its human nature for us women to want to be protected. So I will choose a man thats taller than me. But the man I want is 5'8. He doesn't need to be 6 feet. That 6 feet thing is dumb unless the woman is tall herself

[DarkLegacy]

It is not human nature, you are just defending shitty behaviour in women really

[Opinion Owner]

@DarkLegacy no it goes back to human nature its science. Same reason men prefer women with round hips because it shows she can give birth etc. Its science. I didn't invent it. It always existed. But goodluck with that idea... bye

[Opinion Owner]

Thank you for MHO!

[MemeSupreme]

i mean this in the nicest way but you're being dramatic and i think I've seen you make like 5 posts complaining about your height.

i'm 5'10 and i've never had actual problems because of it other than overthinking. i wore heels to prom too and it was fine. sometimes people give me shit for my height which can be annoying but i give shit back and move on.

[pethouse]

Date a short guy so you can reach the top shelf for him👍🏻

[OlderAndWiser]

I read the rant. Is there a question?

[pethouse]

The same thing goes for short men as well, but I also think it goes for very short women too so I don't know, I think when your in that “average zone” you won’t get picked on for your height but if your very short or very tall you’ll receive a lot more negativity, I myself am short and I never hear the end of it from my friends so in a way I know how you feel. And I also understand if you hate yourself for something you can’t control. I used to constantly look at videos and news articles on how it’s not okay to be a short man it’s actually how I found this app!

[pethouse]

But just because your tall it doesn’t mean your unattractive, look at Ava Michelle, she’s 6’2

[Sirenboobzilla]

I know the feeling well. I'm 5'11. Always been one of the taller girls in my work groups, social and school. Personally I choose to not let it affect me. For every 1 man that thinks I'm too tall to date, there's 2 more that will gladly chant "death by snu snu."

I've often wondered if it in part has to do with short women requiring a man to be 6 feet or more to be able to date.

[DarkLegacy]

Yes, i don't know why women make such a huge deal about how tall a male is.

[WanderingLoveWizard]

Men are protectors by nature, and women are submissive.
A person's height taps into their natural desire to protect/ be protected.

If a girl is too tall, a man will naturally feel like less of a "man" around her, so to speak.
Same if a guy is too short, a girl will feel less safe.

It's just a feeling that taps into our nature. There's really not much logic behind it, but that's the way it is 🤷‍♂️

[WanderingLoveWizard]

Of course there are people with different preferences, but I'm talking in general

[AutisticLonelyWoman]

We’ll they don’t need to make a huge deal out of it! It’s just dumb. Even my male cousins on my dad’s side laugh at me saying I’m so huge that it’s going to be impossible for me to keep a man. They also told me no woman should be 6ft tall. That really hurt me so bad.

[WanderingLoveWizard]

Oh I see what you mean. You're right , there's no excuse for that.
Most famous models are well over 5'8". So you can tell them that, as well as "Go fuck yourselves"

[AutisticLonelyWoman]

Yeah that’s what I should have said. Next time they do, I will say it in their face. So sick of playing nice.

[WanderingLoveWizard]

Good! Don't put up with it. I'm sure you're beautiful the way you are.
Many men find tall women sexy. Just ask some of the guys here lol

[AutisticLonelyWoman]

One guy just says he can’t deal with a taller woman especially a 6ft woman that wears heels.

[stepyo99]

Hello dommy mommy,

I am 5'7" and don't want my kids to be midgets. I humbly submit for your consideration, my hand in marriage. I will require you to reach high things for me and wear tall heels at all times with me in public so that you can tell me when it's about to rain. In return, I will warn you before you hit your head on things.

Thank you for your consideration.

[Fireguy17]

No clue.
I'm sure if someone was 6'(' that might be a bit to tall for me, but 6' something is just fine.
I'm 6" so most women are shorter than I am.
I have dated a few that were taller than I was, great long legs, looked great in heels.
What's not to like?

[FunkyMonkee]

I don't. I just PREFER a tall girl so I don't have to bend over to kiss her or so she doesn't have to hurt her neck to try to kiss me.
As tall as I am, everything is, "down there"! I'd prefer to have her up here with me! But, I'm not picky. If she ends up being 4' 11", so be it! The love is the most important thing!

[exitseven]

Some guys are just intimidated by tall girls. I dated a girl who was 5' 11". She was a competitive swimmer in college. She was big all over and I thought she was beautiful. Some of the guys had a mean name for her and one time I heard him call her that. I told them that I was going to tell her what he said and she would beat the crap out of him. I think he was afraid.
There are plenty of guys that are not afraid of somebody who might be taller than they are.

[TallAnon]

Don't worry, as a 6'7 dude, it's not a gender issue.
People talking shit is a general issue, your height is just an easy target as it stands out.
Ultimately your height is irrelevant. You are about the same height as my sister and she's got a very normal life with a normal career, a dude, a kid and another kid coming soon.
You've just met some assholes and because of your insecurities, their insults hurt. That's fine, it happens.

[Sasha0426]

I’m 5’5 and I don’t get shit for it. So, you’re right about that. But, I have heard tall girls getting bullied because of their height. Same with short guys. I mean, no one can control their height. HOWEVER, no one should bully you. It’s ok to have preferences, but not to the point where it’ll make you a bully.

[Anonymous]

Girl i am 5’2 and i do not get your struggle but be confident and love yourself as you are trust me! Tall women are so pretty, you are not any less feminine than any of us wear your heels and live your life! My bestie is 5’8 and she avoids heels too and i always tell her to rock them. Cause trust me these men are just trying to make us insecure!!!

[DarkLegacy]

Women do the same by having height requirements in men

[Opinion Owner]

Nobody cares men have requirements for every single thing height weight face beauty hair, its not even remotely similar to what women ask for. Also most women only ask for a taller guy and women are on average 5’4 so most men are taller by default

[Raaj4you]

I found some beautiful girls on the dating app. and I had nice chat with them. They were interested to take it to the next level and meet me. But when I came to know about their height, I was disappointed. I was feeling inferior about myself bcoz they were taller than me. I just told them that I am not tall as you and I am not good enough for you. So I have decided not to meet them. Everything was working fine but this height difference was an obstacle.

[Lis-the-librarian]

Should have still gone out to meet them. I know plenty of tall women with shorter men. It should be same for women, not discarding men by height.

[Raaj4you]

@Lis-the-librarian I thought so, people will laugh at us. Yes, I saw some youtube videos of taller women marrying shorter men. I will meet taller women this time, only if she is ready to meet me.

[BoopBoopBeep]

I've been 5'9" since the explosion. I've dated a woman who was 6'2" flat and wore 3" heels regularly. Didn't bother me in the least. Sorry you know so many weak men.

[CoolCatMar1]

I am 5'10 and most people ask me "how tall are you?" Or say " you are so lucky to be tall." I have never been called undateable. I don't know maybe those people are just trolling you?

[Anonymous]

The problem with being a tall woman is, even if you don't care about height, men are rarely going to approach you unless they are your height or taller because they think you will reject them, as women are stereotyped to only like men who are 6 feet tall, and would rather go for shorter women as they think they have a better chance of success.

I assure you, dudes don't care about your height as much as you think they do, I just think you might have to be the one to ask.

[Avicenna]

Actually most guys don't. Guys who prefer to date taller women would fall all over themselves to date you.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Because they are stupid. No one can control their height.

It's something that's inherited through parents.

[als24]

When I see a tall woman, I think to myself "that's a tall woman" and it ends there. Despite preferring girls who are shorter than me, I have no issues with tall women. It's not something you can control anyway. F them.

[Miristheiss]

Some people are just mean.

Lots of guys like tall girls.

Hopefully that mean stuff goes away after high school.

[Meropatrick]

Lol where i am people are jealous of tall girls people comment on them like Look at her she has the body of a model. Unless u r fat and tall then u Look huge. But slim tall girls get praised
