The wonderful moment when you haven’t seen someone in forever, and as you stand up to hug them you watch their expression morph into disbelief as they crook their neck back because you just keep going up up up.
"Tall"
When the girl who created this “Tall Girl Problems” site is not even 5’11” and I’m 6’2”
Hahaha
Yeah, the 5’10 and under thing about models is not true. 5’9 is generally the shortest they will go, but they will go taller. Of course, it depends on the agency, but most places will definitely go taller than 5’10.
jessiray asked: Wait... Modeling agencies have maximum height restrictions? I thought modeling was the only place where our dumb society says it's socially acceptable to be a really tall girl.
h-0lywars asked: its not 5'10 for agency models, I'm about 5'10.5 and I know tons of girls who are taller than me, at least 6 foot, who get loads of work! I suppose it might depend on the agency though. actually that said a few times I've been turned down for jobs because I'm too tall for the clothes...but really in general its fine!
Tall girls, embrace the race ;) <3

mystrade-and-johnlock-fangirl asked: 16 years old and 6'1-- About two years ago, I was 5'10 and doctors said that I wouldn't grow anymore.. How wrong they were, as I recently grew yet another inch XD I absolutely hate it how I need to buy shirts size L so that they're long enough to cover my torso, which completely hides my quite tiny waist ;;;; I still frequently wear 2 inch high heels.
introvert-ir asked: I'm a sophomore and I'm still taller than the majority of the boys in my grade :/
livhelders asked: yeah, 5'10 is the maximum height that's accepted by agencies models. So insane! Aff!

Standing in the back with all the guys in group pictures because if you stood/kneeled in any of the other rows you would block people. :/

Tall guy here
I’m 6’4” and I love tall girls! I don’t care if I was short; I’d still love them! And any tall girl of mine WILL wear her heels around me. That’s a given, even if they make her taller than me! I’ll wear “tall” shoes around her anyway to make her feel as small as possible.
If you’re a tall girl - embrace it. Rock it, because tall is...
Short Old Ladies and Great Guys
There is a lady i work with who, whenever there isn’t a guy around, she’ll ask me to reach something for her off of a shelf (she can’t be much taller than 5’4”). She also assumes that because I’m tall, I’m also super strong(so it’s usually heavy stuff).
There are some things that I’m actually too short to reach(I’m really only...

In response to the sad work day
That really sucks, but you know what? She was probably just jealous of you because you’re tall and young and beautiful. Height is nothing to be embarrassed by and really the more confortable you are in your own skin the less negativity of others will phase you. I wore my tall heels to work the other day and was almost 6’3” with them on (and taller than most everyone in my...
Sad work day
I’m 25, 6’2 and I try not to be insecure even though questions still bug me. I recently started work at a restaurant so all of the normal questions have arisen and I try to be polite. But today I had this horrible old woman say to me, ” It must be hard to find a man- I mean I noticed you’re not married. Do you have a boyfriend? I would think a lot of men wouldn’t be...
