pretty-miss-country-thing asked: Hi, I love your blog! I'm 5'9 and I've always been taller than most of my friends and alot of times boys. I use to hate it and always thought my height made me super awkward. The only thing it ever helped me with was basketball. Now I'm 18 and I'm still taller then a lot of girls but at least now I know a lot of boys taller than me. And I found a boy who loves me for me...
Yesterday, I met one of my favorite athletes, Lolo...

imaveggiee asked: Alloy is also a really good place to buy long pants. They go up to a 37" inseam in a lot of their styles. I'm 6' and its my go to place for pants!
theoccasionalsecret-deactivated asked: I'm almost 17 and 5'10". I used to be so insecure about it. Especially because my boyfriend is exactly my height or a tad shorter. It does get annoying when people feel the need to comment on it. But I'm getting over it because it doesn't matter. This whole "guys need to be taller than girls" thing is ridiculous! Love the body you are in! And don't be afraid...
happysoulsareprettier asked: i'm 17 and 6'1" i used to hate being so tall and i still kind of do, lol. all my best friends are all under 5'5" and when we go out i feel obligated to wear flats or boots because i feel like an idiot in heels. lol. for example, for my sweet sixteen, i took 6 of my friends out to a nice restaurant, got a limo, the whole 9 yards and i was the only one wearing boots. hahaha....
Tall Girl Advantages
I do think this site is funny and have experienced all the “problems” I’ve read so far. I’m a 6’6” woman who topped out at this height at around 16. I’m now 43. Yes, we tall girls have our challenges, but I believe it’s best to look at the advantages of being tall! Embrace it! God didn’t make us tall to hide in a corner, but to stand out...
southern-wallflower asked: 15 and almost 6ft. Im just like the rest of the girls on here being awkwardly taller than everyone else, but lately I haven't even noticed it! Yes the always quoted by the "oh I'm so original" person says the "oh so original" things like: you make me feel short, do you play sports?, hows the weather up there, and the most hurtful do you think you will ever find...
tall girl problems
Getting yelled at by a coach because you didn’t catch a ball ten feet over your head, but they say you should have caught it because your so tall
martyna-papartyna asked: Hi! I have question where usually you are buying jeans? I am wearing 29W 36L usually. And buying from Cheap Monday or sometimes Zara what about you ?
Prom Date!
The terrible feeling in your stomach when you and your friends are thinking about prom dates and after each name someone says, “What about him? Oh yeah. He’s shorter than you..”
I’m 15 and 5’8” (my mom says I’m still growing) I love your page because most of my friends are much lower than average height! Tallest one is 5’5” and the shortest is 4’9” so I love how your page talks about all the things I have to deal with! lol I don’t really have shoe problems because for some odd reason, I’m a size 8 in...
living-amongthe-stars asked: im 14 and 6'0(: tallest girl in my school! haha the taller than the bathroom stalls describe me though. <3
Being tall
I was 5’9” in 5th grade and stopped growing in 8th grade at 5’11”. It was hard because I was taller than all the boys so I did not date much. My inseam for jeans is 36”. All through high school I wore men’s jeans. Luckily shorter styles are in now! :) I am taller than all of my girl friends. My husband is one inch taller than me! But there is nothing I can do...
I have always been the tallest in my classes and now at work. I have a few friends that are my height but mostly they are shorter; my best friend is 5’2. I have been in love with being tall for years. I’m 5’10 and routinely wear 5 inch heels. I wear a size 11 so 5 inch heels are hard to come by but when I find them I buy them all. It is so amazing to find a tall guy who loves...
Finally!
Hey, I saw one of your tall girl problem pictures and i followed the link. I’m16 and 6ft tall and have yet to meet another woman my height or taller. I agree that the dryer and normal length jeans are my worst enemy and basketball is the first question on everyone’s mind XD. Woohoo Tall Girls!
r0mancekills asked: Omg this is the best blog I've ever found! I've always been pretty tall, my dad is 6'5, and I use to hate it but now I LOVE IT, I'm 5'10 and 15 and I'd love to be 5'11 or 6 foot. Ladies you need to embrace your height, it's beautiful and unique! My boyfriend is 6'4 so I don't have any problems there I just have trouble finding clothes sometimes!...
loveangelanadinepowell-deactiva asked: I'M 17 & 6'2! :)
Let me just say...
I know this is “tall GIRL..”, but I would just like to say im a tall guy (6’4” @ 19 to be exact). Being tall is the biggest thing i look for in a girl! Tall girls are the best!!!!!
I'm 16 and 5'10.
Hi! So i definitely have self-esteem issues. im taller then all of my friends. my best friend is like 5’3. Even guys pick at me. It’s ridiculous. In gym it really stinks, cause they always stare and say things. But i’ve never really heard anything. i just need some confidence in my life. i’m tired of being depressed when i am a LOYAL Christian and a BEAUTIFUL person. Please...
Love this!
Im 23 and 6ft2. I totally related to literally every single ‘tall girl problem’! Ive always been tall..It was so much worse in school! I hit 6ft at about 12 so I got teased so bad! I couldn’t give a s**t anymore…the only problems I face is finding a dress that covers my bum and finding a decent bloke thats tall enough!
I hate it when you go into a bar, and guys think that a good pick up line, or a good way to begin a conversation with you is by going, “whoa, you’re tall.” Noooooooo, I am? I never knew!!!
e-s-c-a-l-a-t-e asked: im 16 and 5'10'' as well. i have so many problems trying to find shoes my size. i lived in tokyo for 14 years and now i'm in shanghai and frankly, japanese and chinese women don't have big feet :( i cant find shoes ANYWHERE! largest sizes are usually 3 sizes smaller than my size :(
the-29 asked: Ohh you know what you should do? If you haven't already, of course, haha. You should make like a post about what tall girls should wear! Like what they wear best or something :)
theonassis asked: I love your tumblr! I've been 6'0 since i was 16(i'm 29 now) and my little sister is 17 and 6'3! We have always been the odd girls. I've learned to embrace my height and no longer feel insecure about it. I shared your tumblr w/ my lil sis and she loves it. I feel as a high school student she needs all the "tall-girl" positive reinforcements she can get. Thanks...
I feel ya!
When I was 15, I was 5’11.5”. At almost 30 years old I am a solid 6’ (sometimes I say 5’12” when people ask and see how long it takes them to get it). It gets better, trust me! Follow my blog too www.6-feetup.com Tall Girls Unite!!
sugarlipz69 asked: I've been 5'9" since I was 11. I'm 26 now... Lol I totally relate!!! Thanks for the laughs!!!
I'm 15 and 5'11
I just want to say to everyone who is self conscious about their height, to just embrace it! God made you tall for a reason! Tall girls are always stunningly beautiful. And don’t think that just because you are almost 6’ means that you can’t wear heels. If tall girls shouldn’t wear high heels, then they wouldn’t make them! I wear heels to dances even if I’m...
darcvaders asked: I'm 19 and I'm 6'1"... all my female friends are a bit tall, around 5'9", but I've still kind of loomed over them... so they don't really get my rants. I love this blog so much, and I love being tall. I remember before I started hitting my growth spurts... who wants to be average anyway?
Is it just me or does it seem like there is an inordinate amount of tall guys that end up with really short women? What’s the deal? When you’re a tall girl, you want a guy that is taller than you, and this really cuts down on the odds of tall guys available to date. Maybe tall guys like to look down on their women. I always liked to look at a guy eye to eye! Come on tall guys! Give us...
bitchez-b-trippin asked: I'm 5'9.75" and I know exactly how you feel (:
find even taller friends
I know for some of you tall woman it will be hard to find even taller friends, but there is always a taller person than you. I have a groep of friends from university, they make fun of me for being so short al the time, and i’m 1.78m (5’10). It makes me feel so normal :D.

hihillary asked: During the formal fashion show at school, I was in the front to see it. This girl comes up behind me and says "I hate it when tall people stand in the front; they ruin it for everyone else." -_-
I enjoy thinking there are people like me:) I’ve read the problems, and decided to write about one. There wasn’t anything about having to bend down on the street because trees are cut on the height “not to disturb” people walking the pavement
alexxxisbaybay asked: I love this! I have been 6'2 ever since the age of fourteen. I have just became accustom to my height and I'm nineteen! Also, my boyfriend is 5'6 and I'm not gold diggin'! This blog makes me happy! *follows blog*
giraaaff3 asked: Hi I'm 15 and 5'9 and a half. I love my tallness but the boy I like is shorter than me. I also like to wear heels but I always feel intimidating because all of my friends are 5'6 or shorter. I'm really self conscious when it comes to certain things with my height but overall, I like being known as the giraffe. (:
Dear Tall Girls,
Please don’t feel bad, tall girls are beautiful :)
When I go to the supermarket with my mom, she just...

Who should I date?
People assume that because I’m tall, they have to be taller than me to be in a relationship with me. There are a lot of guys who won’t date women taller than them. There are also a lot of women who won’t date a guy shorter than they are. This is all judging people by uncontrollable physical characteristics (you know, shallow).
My boyfriend happens to be shorter than me....
Gold Diggin'.
When there is a photo of a shorter celebrity male and a taller woman, there are always comments alluding to the financially endowed male and the gold digger female.
I’m not a gold digger. I just happen to be taller. And I have fallen in love with someone who happens to be shorter.
