4 Struggles Only Tall Girls Can Understand

[ikissedtheskyonce]

(Disclaimer: being tall is subjective especially according to your own height, I do not speak for all tall women)

1. Hearing friends and acquaintances say when you talk about a date or a new boyfriend, "Is he taller than you?" or something of that variation:

It's not even personality or looks, the first thing that comes to their mind is his height first, he could be a serial killer for all your friends care just as long as he is taller than you, then everything is alright.

2. Constantly hearing from some short girls and and some men, how being short is seen as more feminine:

(Tyra banks: 5'10")

(Charlize Theron 5'10")

3. People assuming you are older just because you are taller: Seriously, I do not understand why people still associate age with height since there are younger people who are taller than older people. Why is this still a thing?

4. Being told not wear certain shoes in particular high heels: Personally I do not wear high heels but I use to when I was a teenager, I just do not find them as comfortable, but tall women are told constantly not to wear high heels. We have our foot police. Don't we feel special?

(Katy Perry 5'8" pictured above in high heels)

(Blake Lively 5'10" in high heels)

What are some struggles you go through as a tall girl?

I'm 5' 7" tall and 51 y/o. My wife of 8 years is 5' 10" and 33 y/o. Early in our relationship I could tell she was sensitive about our height difference. After a few months of dating I broached the "height" subject. She confessed she was afraid of embarrassing me or making me feel "less of a man." I assured her I was very confident in my masculinity and her being taller than me bothered me not in the least. We have been very happily married for 8 years in March and the height difference has never been an issue again. Good post ikissedtheskyonce. Have a great day!!!

Finding cute clothes lol some of those dresses look more like long shirts on me and if i move the wrong way opps

[iamacreativeuser20]

How tall are you?

[MidnightStar]

@iamacreativeuser20 5' 10.5"

[iamacreativeuser20]

Gosh what did you eat!
😂

[MidnightStar]

@iamacreativeuser20 my younger brother is 6' 7" my mother is 6' and my father is 5' 10" my uncle on my moms side is 6' 5" uncle on my dads side was 5' 11" but my aunts are all 5' 2" it happens, same way they all have brown hair and brown eyes, my dad black hair hazel eyes and i got blonde hair and eyes that change colors with my mood

[iamacreativeuser20]

Dad shorter than mom and you!
Funny
Isn't he scared to be around you women?

[ikissedtheskyonce]

thats cool, i know only a small handful of people whose eyes change colors with their mood, its kind of creepy but cool at the same time, its awesome, but seeing it actually change is almost supernatural @MidnightStar

[MidnightStar]

@iamacreativeuser20 of mom no, of me sorta and only because i'm a better marksman than him

[MidnightStar]

Thanks, lol only time it sucks is either when they go black or when my crush is around

[iamacreativeuser20]

Why did your mom marry a short man?

[ikissedtheskyonce]

when i was in dance class back in high school, i saw my old friend's eyes change colors, she showed us and some of us were like "hell nah" and we left lol

[MidnightStar]

@iamacreativeuser20 because she loves him

[MidnightStar]

Lmao ya i had a few people convinced they were seeing things, it was pretty funny. Its actually a mutation that runs in my dads side of the family, our shades are just all different, my paps blue is really light blue, my dads is dark, and mine are bright, same with the greens, our browns, when we get there, they just go normal brown but i was told mine looked really bright with flecks of gold in them.

How about being told to kneel down at concerts. Or being used as a lift by short people out of nowhere. They seriously act like it's YOUR fault you're tall.

[iamacreativeuser20]

Tall?

Your struggles are because of ignorant people. As a 6'9.5" dude, my struggles are twice as much as yours. The world wasn't designed for me and people made fun of me..

You should watch 7 foot vlogs: https://youtu.be/wli4pKOh4EU

[iamacreativeuser20]

Brain tall is a blessing and it is not a struggle at all unless you see most guys being shorter than you as a bad thing and a struggle for the lady!

I don't think #3 is true; girls finish growing earlier than boys. My friends daughter was 5-10 when she was 12.

And #4 isn't necessarily a bad thing - high heels are asinine.

[LadyTerror]

I'm not really tall but well above average and I get these too

[BruceJender]

I'm 6''4... none of these girls are tall, they're average.

P. S Blake Lively is fit.

[ikissedtheskyonce]

yep she has been my fave ever since gossip girl

[RainbowFanGirl]

I'm 5 foot 7. Is that tall?

[ikissedtheskyonce]

the average height of American women according to livestrong. com is 5'4" but its a matter of how tall the other person is who is comparing themselves to you lol
but you are above the average female height

Tall girls look like goddess
