Tall Girl Problems

so very true: http://missavagardner.tumblr.com/post/36916965043/freecocaine

I told myself I would never date a shorter guy. I actually like hugging tall guys and feeling like I’m being protected and whatnot. But I’m falling in love with a guy that’s shorter than I am. As far as the difference in our heights, let’s just say the top of his head probably reaches my nose. But you know, I’m okay with dating shorter guys in the future now. Because I realized that in love, it’s not always about what I want, but it’s about the giving of yourself. Like, what can I do to make my significant other happy and not just what is most comfortable for me? I still believe he would do anything to make sure I’m okay and protect me when needed. His hand holding mine wouldn’t feel any different if he were taller or if I were shorter. Plus shorter people give amazing hugs, and you know what? He loves my hugs too. Because he can put his ear up to my chest and say, “I can hear your heartbeat. And I love that.”

I am so glad to see you promote a healthy attitude about being a tall girl. I am 43 and 6’ tall. I spent most of my teenage years barely dating because the tall guys dated the short girls and were intimidated by height. Then college came and guys that were 2, 3, 4+ inches shorter asked me out. I figured, what the heck. I am happily married (16 years) to one of those shorter guys (-5 inches) and have two beautiful children. Our son is on track to be 6’+. Our daughter is disappointed to be on track to only be 5’3” - 5’5”. To this day husband tells me he loves my height and wishes I wore heels more often. God Bless my shorter guy and my wonderful height. Keep up your positive outlook!! 

im five eleven and im a freshie too. it sucks, believe me, i know. i know exactly what you go through. getting humiliated every day, always being jelous of the girls with the perfect bodies. when you meet a new person the first thing you hear is “wow, you’re tall.” sometimes thats all you get to hear from them because they dont want to be friends with a giant. but tall women will conquer the world someday, believe me. :) 

But more importantly you’re a woman. I’m 20 and 6’1.5.” First of all, don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t wear heels! Heels have NOTHING to do with height! You are a woman, not just a tall woman. Strut your stuff and walk around like you’re a freaking model and if someone asks you if you are, say yes and that you’re doing a shoot in that city even if it’s your city. Secondly, don’t rule guys out because they’re shorter than you. You know how it feels being excluded because of something you can’t change. Don’t spread around that mindset. Have a range of how short you’ll accept to how tall you’ll accept. Some of the best guys are short anyway. Don’t trade something that could be real because you want someone taller than you, yet he treats you half as well. You deserve the best. Also, you don’t have to play ANY sports if you don’t like them but if you do, make sure you do your best at it and try to get a scholarship because college is super expensive. Stay positive. Love you ladies!
