Pretend that you are a model, hold your head high and expect to be treated well. Be always aware that your height is not a handicap and count your blessings... there are people born with serious defects. Height is NOT a defect! 6'2" Kailee wrote (April 28th 2008) I am 13 and I am 6'2". I have never really been insecure about my height but I have been getting worried lately that I am gunna keep growing more and more and no guys will ever like me but after reading about all these tall successful women it makes me feel super good! 5'10" Sarah wrote (April 28th 2008) Hey, I like being tall but I don't love it. I'm 12 and it's hard coz I'm a 1st year in secondary school and everyone else is like 5'0" and I'm 5"10 and also all the boys in my class are small and I'm very self-conscious and so are they. So I'll never have a chance with any of them!! :( 5'10 1/2" Linda wrote (April 27th 2008) Trust me girls. Short women want to be taller! I was out to dinner with some friends the other night and a shorter woman in our group said to me, "you're the girl we all want to be like". 5'11 1/2" Tarah wrote (April 24th 2008) I love being tall. I'm 14 and I'm PROUD to be 5'11 1/2". It's an advantage for me when I play volleyball :))) TALL GIRLS RULE 6'1 1/2" Stephanie wrote (April 22nd 2008) Wow, this is actually the most amazing site!! I am seventeen years old, very athletic and I am having troubles accepting myself. After reading a couple of these comments, it has given me hope that one day I will find a guy who is right for me! So far I have had two boyfriends (who hardly even count and both shorter than me). I was a model for part of my teen years, yet I quit when they told me I needed to lose weight (I am average weight, not too slim). I feel huge in comparison to girls and most guys! I feel awkward, and embarrassed when people crack jokes at me. When I finally meet a guy who is as tall, or is taller than me they always talk to me about my "cute, curvy" and short friends. WHY do they like them!?! It drives me insane, yet I have actually learned to accept it. The most important quote that I use everyday is "I'm too tall to be a girl, I'm between a chick and a broad." - Julia Roberts. Julia has stated the facts here! She is so comfortable with herself that she can make jokes, and that is what I starting to do with my life! 5'10" Elly wrote (April 22nd 2008) OK, so at 5 foot 10 I guess I'm classified as 'short' here, but I am 13 years old and it certainly doesn't feel like that! It's difficult feeling normal when all your friends come up don't even reach your shoulders, and whenever I go out people immediately look at my feet because they expect me to be wearing heels. Everyone tells me I should love my height, and at clothing size 8/10 (UK-size) I guess I have a model figure, but the thing is, I have no self-esteem :( I know it sounds awful, but does anybody have any tips on getting more confident? It would really help me out! Also, wanted to say, I love this site, especially the Tall Teens bit - I always come back and read it whenever someone has made a particularly hurtful comment about my height. :) Oh, I have a question as well. My shoe size is only 5.5 (once again, UK-size) which is actually smaller than most of my taller friends. Is this normal, or does anyone else have the same thing? Because people automatically assume I have huuge feet, and in reality they are quite small. Well, thanks for the site, it's great to know that I'm not the tallest person out there! :) Joerg says: You're not short... you're just at the short end of the spectrum right now. You are probably still growing anyway. Just make sure you enjoy yourself and don't let anyone make you feel bad about yourself. By the way, not all tall women have large feet. 6'2" Susan wrote (April 21st 2008) I just read Rebecca Thomas' article and saw the video. Yeah, Rebecca!!! Good for you!!! Joerg says: You can contact Becky via her blog www.tallgirlwrites.com 6'0 1/2" Rosie wrote (April 19th 2008) I've just spent about half an hour reading quotes on here, and it is so refreshing to hear so many positive words about our heights! Also, hearing people commenting on all those things that I find so hard too, like the fact I love really high heels but can never wear them, or that people comment and ask you if you play basket ball... so good to be understood! Just wanted to say to those people who were talking about how they can't do partner dancing... YOU CAN! I'm 23 and I dance a lot of Salsa to quite a high standard, and yes, some men get intimidated and don't ask you to dance, (but you'll usually find that's a blessing because they are the ones who can't dance anyway!) and yes I get the odd comment on how tall I am, but people quickly get used to it and stop noticing. I recommend attending regular classes and you will stop feeling self concious after about two classes. So girls, YOU CAN DANCE... I've danced with men half my height and had a great time. It's about the size of the mans character... nothing else! ;) Let them show you off!!! By the way, thanks Joerg, this is a great source of information... especially on shoes which I have such major issues with. Joerg says: Well, you're welcome. I'm glad you find the website helpful. 6'1" Sarah wrote (April 18th 2008) I'm seventeen and am reallly tall. I'm a (UK) size 12 and have kind of learnt to deal that I'm never going to be this model like figure that people claim I should be. But I say you just have to learn to deal with what you have. Because at the end of the day... personality captures the heart, beauty just gets the attention. So work what you have and treat every street as a cat walk! JOB DONE! 5'10" Sarah wrote (April 18th 2008) I'm new to this site but I wanted to share some information with all of you tall ladies. It's really hard trying to find tall clothing. I'm 5'10" and have a hard time so I know that those taller than me have even more of a difficult time doing the same. I found a store that I love and even better - I don't get discouraged while shopping for long pants, jeans ans sleeves that are long enough. The store is called Tall Girl. I shop at the one in Chicago. But they have stores throughout the U.S. and Canada. They have a website - www.tallgirlshop.com. They carry inseams ranging from 34 inches and go up to 38 1/2 inches. All of the torsos and sleeves are made longer. Whatever you're looking for they carry - jeans, dress pants, suits, dresses, swimsuits, active wear, coats and much more. Just wanted to let everyone know as tall shops are very hard to come across. 6'3" Jheri wrote (April 18th 2008) To Gabrielle: It depends on what the two of you are comfortable with. I usually don't find height to be as important as most guys do. If he is ok with it, just go and do it. Going out is a lot more interesting than not going out. I have mostly dated shorter guys because I haven't found taller guys that I like. It is fun to go with a taller guy because the feeling is novel to me. The only real problem I have is that my hearing is poor and it is good to not be too far away, so I think I have a limit of being a head taller (or shorter I guess, but I've never been with a guy who is hugely taller than me). With a guy that short you are going to get a lot of stares and comments. If the two of you have a good sense of humor and have a sense of adventure, that can be a lot of fun. 6'4" Gabrielle wrote (April 15th 2008) Hey girls, I love my height, but I could use an opinion. I met this great guy, but, unfortunately, he's only five six. Do I go for it or step back? Joerg says: Go for it if you think he can handle you. 6'3" Sarah wrote (April 12th 2008) I think this site is so cute! LOL. I'm Six Three and am constantly hearing "Do you Play Basketball?" and "You're so beautiful! You should be a model!" Haha! But you know what really tripps me out? All these tall guys dating these short short girls... Hey, tall guys. I'm here too! Intimidation is CaRaYZEE! 5'11" Mia wrote (April 12th 2008) Tall galz rule! I dunno why sum crazy people hate their height. I don't mind growing an inch or 2 more. I feel bad for those girls who hate their height!! I also got teased but I wouldn't trade my height for anything in the world! But I hate the fact that guys even though being attracted to tall girls, don't have the guts to cum up 'n' talk to us or ask us out 'n' they also get intimidated. I feel ur pain, Selina, but I still luv my height 'n' so should u. Joerg, ur doin a gr8 job. I wish there were more guys out there like u! Joerg says: Thanks a lot, Mia, I appreciate the compliment! 6'3" Jheri wrote (April 5th 2008) It is almost warm enough to do things outside here besides jogging and biking. There are a few shoes I recommend for this, although they are sometimes hard to find in Europe. Keen and Teva. Both have interesting styles and, more important, are very comfortable when you are climbing trees (Teva Karnali Wraptors) or walking wading in streams or the ocean (keen Maupins). You can get either up to about size 42, which is close enough to my size. Sometimes I get a men's size as the shoes are very similar in design and construction. The women's shoes have much better colors though. Neither have anything in the way of heel height, but I have a strong dislike for heels due to the pain. Being a bit higher is sometimes cool, but not necessary for me. People always check out my shoes to see if I'm wearing heels. They seem a bit more surprised to realize I usually am not. But these are both great brands that you can wear all day and do almost anything with. 5'10" Louise wrote (April 4th 2008) To Selina (April 1): It's completely normal to feel uncomfortable with your height, or anything else for that matter, especially during the teen years. Trust us... it WILL get much better! When obstacles pop up, don't focus on the obstacle. Instead, think 'how can I get around this and still get what I want?' For example, if there's a guy you like, focus on what the two of you have in common, and use that to approach him and get the edge on your 'competition'. Don't even think about the height thing. Consider it a non-issue. And whether or not you succeed in getthing the date, consider yourself a success for trying! A lot of kids don't go to prom, regardless of their height. If you end up going, knock yourself out enjoying it to the fullest. If you don't, treat yourself to some other splurge... maybe an all-night pizza/movie party at a friend's house, weekend away with an out-of-town relative, mall makeovers with the girls... be creative. Please stay in touch! 6'0" Philippa wrote (April 1st 2008) When I was younger as with a lot of tall ladies my confidence needed a little work, now as an adult I feel most feminine when wearing heels and standing tall head held high. Sometimes though it wears me down being gawped at like a carnival side show, some people actually walk past and stare open-mouthed. Although I have great friends and family I can't convey the inner strength it takes sometimes to not let this bother you, and how it feels to be different. Finding this website makes me realize I am not alone and it has given me the boost I needed to stand tall with a smile. I've never written to anything like this before but felt compelled to do so and to thank the other ladies for sharing their stories. 5'11 1/2" Selina wrote (April 1st 2008) All my life I've always been the tallest girl no matter where i've been. By the time I was 13 I was 5'8 and I've always constantly grew. Now i'm 17 almost 18 and 5'11 1/2. Being this tall for me is extremely hard and in away depressing. I'm usually always taller then the guy I like and it's so hard to find a guy that is tall and that has quality's I like and when I do my shorter friends end up getting there attention and sleeping with them. I've always been put down because of my height i've been called every name that there is Jolly Green Giant, Lurch, Amazon, etc. I do NOT wear heels because of the fact that I'm already extremely self-concious as it is without them. I've tried to deal with the fact that I'm tall but it is a little much for me. Especially with prom coming up... Joerg says: As far as the prom is concerned check out
PromGirl 6'1" Lizzy wrote (March 30th 2008) Just found this site - sometimes you need a confidence boost and this is what this site is. The few troubles I find with being tall are mainly having crushes on really decent guys, but being taller than them; let's hope there hormones kick in soon and they grow, ey? I also find that buying shoes and clothes can get annoying - not every tall girl is a UK size 8 - I'm about a 14/16, and I carry the weight well, though admitedly I would like to get down to a 12/14. There's loads of advantages to being tall - you get noticed more, and one I've found is that being tall almost forces confidence onto you - you can't be shy and 6ft tall. I'm alright with my height, but sometimes it can get annoying - then again sometimes its a great advantage :D Lizz. 6'3" Jheri wrote (March 26th 2008) To Jen: You don't need to love your height, but you can get used to it. Most teenage girls have more than one insecurity and fitting in is very important. I don't know where this comes from, but it causes a lot of damage. I knew a very smart girl who played down her intelligence and never went to college - all to fit in. I came to love my height, but it took some time. There are other things about me that I've come to realize I can't change. I may not love them, but I'm used to them. I'm nearly deaf. It would be nice to hear, but that isn't in the cards for me. My skin is very very pale. Even in Denmark I burn on partly overcast days in the Summer. I have weirdly shaped ears. I'm waaaay too thin. No boobs or other curves. I try to put on weight, but my body just doesn't do that. The list goes on and on.... Some of these things are neutral to me. I can't change them and have to live with them. My hearing, my thinness, and pale skin are good examples. Other things I've always loved. I like my laugh, my smile and my eyes. Some things I've come to love. My height and ears for example. The hardest thing for me to accept is my thinness. I look in a mirror and don't like what I see. It even scares me at times. But it is me and I have learned to live with it and accept it. It was easy for me to accept height, but not easy to live with my skin and bones frame. If it helps I think more people can deal with a 5'10 girl than one who is as thin as me. Maybe you will never come to love your height, but you can get along with it. Find other things you love about yourself and push them. Find the things that you can come to love. As many have said here: we are all different and that is a good thing. P.S.: I love to dance too, even though I'm not terrifically coordinated. Guess what, my height isn't any problem even though I'm taller than any of the guys where I go. 5'11" Sara wrote (March 26th 2008) This is to Jen and all the others who feel such hatred at being tall: I'm sorry you feel that way. You really shouldn't. You shouldn't hate a part of yourself which leads to hating yourself completely. I'm sorry that you don't see the many other advantages of being a tall woman or tall in general. It's tragic really. Being tall....you can have it all. Fashion is made for you. All style of clothes look good on someone who's tall since they are first made and design for someone who's tall. Sure, sometimes there's a little of a minor annoyance to finding the right length but you learn fast where to go and it's great from there. Being tall makes others think of power and strength so that's why they are "intimidated." I find I get a lot of respect just for my height because of that as well. I stopped growing to my 5'11" height at the age of 16. I was the tallest girl at my school. I used to not wear high heels because I thought it would make me look to massive. I, too, wanted to be small and not stand out. So much so that I too wanted to literally get shorter by whatever means including surgery. Then, like I wrote in my previous post, my mother gave me a talk that woke me up. I started to wear the high heels and you know what? I didn't feel massive. I felt like a girl. I didn't think I would, just like you, before that but I felt even more like a girl, a woman by actually wearing them. Instead of feeling bad about people's comments and the ridicule, I realised what was really going on. They were jealous and the shorter girls were threatened by my height. Guys actually do LOVE tall women. Most guys crushes are on tall women. Nicole Kidman, Uma Thurman, most models, many others. But, they also have something else; confidence. There's absolutely nothing more attractive, alluring and intoxicating than confidence. They radiate confidence. They walk with their heads high, with dignity. They walk and carry themselves as queens. The shorter girls like to act like princesses but us tall girls have the ability to act like queens. Guys see and know this and most guys know that a queen trumps a princess hands down any day. Most guys would rather be a king next to your queen than just be a mere prince. Your height physically shows the power you can possess if you only find it within yourself and embrace it. You can work on your mind and embark on a constant quest for knowledge that will make you intelligent(which guys also LOVE). You can get involved in your community and help others which shows that you care and are kind(again which guys love because you also have your own thing going on). You can have it all. Beauty, brains and brawn all rolled into one package. I'm 27 now and trust me; polish and refine all three and you'll be constantly hit on by guys. I am and I have a ! boyfriend! LOL It's not about being a girl, hun. You're only a girl for such a short period of time in your life. The majority of your life will be spent as a woman. Being tall...you have the physical of being a woman. Work on that, not looking for surgery to make you shorter. I really hope you opt out of it. I really hope you embrace it instead because it is a part of who you are. 6'4" Gabi wrote (March 25th 2008) Wow Jen, I'm so sorry you feel that way! I used to feel the way you did, until I stepped back and realized something that I'm going to pass along to you. You are DIFFERENT. Not worse, simply different. I'm seventeen too, so I'm sure that we share the difficulty of finding boys who accept us. Do you really want people to like you for being shorter? You want a guy who loves you for who you are right? Well, being tall is a part of who you are. Love it, it's a part of you, and it would be tragic if you changed that. 6'4" Michelle wrote (March 25th 2008) I love this website! I stopped growing when I was 16 at 6'4". I was always one of the tallest girls in school. It wasn't easy being so tall in school with the other kids making jokes about my size. My main growth spurt started when I was 13 in junior high. I was about 5'8" and hit 6'4" at 16. As an adult now, I find that there are many advantages to being tall. People treat me with respect both men and women. I know it's my size that intimidates them. Lots of guys like women who are taller than them although they may not admit it openly. All the guys I ever dated were smaller than me and two of them admitted to me that my height was what attracted them the most. My boyfriend now is 6'1" and he loves my height. I have a pair of 3-inch wedgies that make me 6'7" and I enjoy feeling like a giant over everyone, especially men. I have no problem dating guys who are shorter than me unlike many women. And btw, the shortest guy I dated was 5'8". He came up to around my chin level! 5'11" Sara wrote (March 25th 2008) I LOVE the quotes on here for the most part because it can sometimes seem to be a lonely thing being tall. I know I felt alone growing up because of being so (relatively) tall to everyone else where I grew up. There weren't any other girls my height and the only people who were taller than me were a couple of guys who didn't even give me a second glance as someone they would like to date. I was always told to down play my height, not to wear high heels and the like. But, you know what? My mother finally took me to the side one day when I was 16-17 years old and told me something that I haven't forgotten to this day and made all the difference. She told me that being tall and a redhead by nature means something special and that I was meant to stick out like a sore thumb for a reason. What that reason is, only time will tell but great things could come from me if I only chose it. Nature gave me those things to help that out. She told me not to listen to those idiots and be proud of who and what I am instead. Being tall is only a fraction of that. A bonus; icing on the cake. I embraced my height and celebrated it after that. It gives me an edge. I feel more independent; self-reliant. I don't have to ask someone to get things for me most of the time. I deal with the cramped traveling any way I can. I'm not afraid to tell those insecure morons to go f*** off and work on THEIR self-esteem when I have to because they are being too obnoxious. I proudly wear high heels and feel great doing it. In the end, it's only my opinion of me that matters. If I can live with myself than everything's fine. Physical beauty is only skin deep and beauty is also in the eye of the beholder. The most important beholder is yourself and yourself alone. If you're happy with yourself, can sleep like a baby at night and when you look into a mirror however often you do and still know and can appreciate, stand, the person staring back at you, than you're fine. It's what you do and what you choose that make y! ou not j ust being tall. Being tall just makes it more fun and interesting! LOL True beauty and confidence comes from the inside not the physical. When you have true beauty, it shines so brightly outward for everyone to see. If someone can't see it, than they might want to have their eyesight checked. They are going blind and that's their problem; not yours. It takes all types of people to make the world go around. Good, bad, smart idiotic, tall, short. You get the idea. Celebrate that you're part of that wonderous cycle. By working on the more important, internal things such as knowledge, merit and ability, our height only adds to it since it helps us get noticed. That getting noticed can help us change things in this world for the better and make it a better place. 5'10 1/2" Jen wrote (March 25th 2008) Im 17 and 5'10"ish and I absolutely hate my height. I don't see any advantages to being tall. I've read everyone's comments and it's great that you're happy with your height but no matter what I read it won't change how I feel. I want to feel small and actually like a girl. I want to be able to wear high heels and not feel massive, be confident. I love dancing but I just don't feel confident enough to do it now in fear I'll stand out. People say models are tall but that's about the only advantage. As if being able to reach things off a higher shelf is an advantage! I'm currently tring to search for ways that could reduce my height, even surgery as I hate it!!! Sorry if it sounds depressing. It's just how I feel. Joerg says: I shudder to think what you'd feel like if you were, say, 6'4" or 6'5"... I'm very sorry that you feel that way. 6'4" Gabi wrote (March 24th 2008) A word of advice for all my tall friends: Sometimes when people are rude, they don't even realize it. At my work the other day, a male customer saw me and said "Wow! You're a big one aren't ya?" I told him I was giving him the opportunity to greet me again, because I wasnt going to serve someone being that rude to me. He was clearly mortified, and apologized. Sometimes it's as simple as telling people they're being RUDE! 6'2" Lakisha wrote (March 24th 2008) I just turned 18 years old and I am 6'2". It is real hard being this tall because people act like they have never seen a girl as tall as me. I really like this website because I thought that I was the only really tall girl. Joerg says: No, you're not, Sweetie. Keep your head held high. 5'11 1/2" Sarah wrote (March 22nd 2008) As a 15 year old who is almost 6 ft. tall, this website is SO encouraging! I sometimes feel I'm the only tall girl in my whole state because no one's tall where I live. I have ALWAYS been the tallest one at school & have absolutely HATED it. I still do, but now the boys (and some girls) are catching up so it's not so bad. Because of my height I am fairly shy and self-conscious and I know that I wouldn't be like that if I were short. I don't wear heels and NEVER plan on it. I do turn heads though, and that does feel good =) I know God made me this way for a reason & he thinks I'm beautiful. Hopefully someday I'll feel the same way! P.S.: I love reading all these comments because they help me start to appreciate my height =) 6'2" Angel wrote (March 20th 2008) Hey, I am Angel. I am 17 years old and 6'2" tall... it runs in my family and I am not the only tall woman. I live in the UK and it's hard for me to find any jeans that are long enough. I am always having to wear boots with my jeans because they are always too short. I used to think everyone around me has a problem with my height. I've always been bullied and looked at differently because of my height. My biggest issue right now is heels. I love high heels but I feel like I can't wear them. The one reason I don't like my height is because it deprives me of the thing I love the most and that is high heels. It also affects my social life as am afraid to go clubbing or enjoy other forms of fun. If am to go clubbing I would love to wear a dress and heels but I feel I can't wear heels because then I will be too tall and the roof in the club won't be high enough or that no man will want to dance with a woman taller than them or that everyone in the club will be like "look at that tall girl". So I spend almost everyday I have free from college and every night at home in bed. I turned to modelling as a result. Another passion of mine is dancing. I love dancing and can dance. I always watch "So you think you can dance" or "Strictly come dancing" and all dance shows and dream that one that would be me there but one thing that stops me is my height. I always think it's impossible to find a dance partner taller than me that has a passion for dancing and I would love to dance in heels but then that would make me look taller. So I put my dream of being a dancer aside due to my height and sometimes it hurts when I look in the mirror because I just can't do all that I want to do. I don't model yet but I'm thinking of modelling after college because I feel it's the only place where I belong because of my height. There are a lot of tall models and if I was a model and was to wear heels then I wouldn't be criticised for it. But I don't want to have to feel that I have to be a model so that I can just be comfortable in my own bought and wear heels anytime and anyplace! I want. I am tired if leaning next to something, bending my legs to look shorter or arching my back of constantly wearing flat shoes. The one thing that would make me so very happy is to go into a shop, buy the heels I want without having to look for the inches of the heel and without thinking what are people going to think or anything negative. 6'1 1/2" Abbi wrote (March 19th 2008) Hi! My name is Abbi and I am 6'1 1/2", and I'm only 15. I noticed a lot of comments on height and dating. Up until this year I always told my mom I wanted my first boyfriend (and all others after that) to be taller than me. Well, that wasn't exactly realistic. This year I met a guy who is around 5'6" and we became really good friends. My spanish teacher's room is right by our lockers, and one day during class she said "You know that boy that you always talk to? I think he loves you, the way he looks at you, he must be in love with you." I always thought that was because I was a lot taller than he was, and he always had to look up at me. Well I was wrong, because about a month and a half after that, he asked me out. I said yes, of course, because secretly I had liked him for a long time, but I thought it would be really awkward so I never told him. We're still going out, and he loves the fact that I am so tall! ^.^ He says he'll never lose me and things like that. I am pretty sure I am the tallest girl at my school, and it's huge! I always try to be myself, and I really don't care what anyone else thinks, if I am having fun, and not hurting anyone whats wrong with that? Although people do look at me funny sometimes, I try to not let it bother me, because they don't matter, and the people that do matter love you anyway. I also wanted to say I love wearing heels! All my friends, excluding my boyfriend scorn me for wearing heels, because "I am already too tall." I don't believe that, and I think it is silly to say that to tall girls. I feel empowered when I wear heels, and it boosts my self-confidence too. I also want to say I love being tall, and have always embraced that part of my physical appearance, even when I was little. It it just another thing that makes me ME! I also forgot, I wanted to add that I have extremely small feet for my height. I wear an 8 1/2 or a 9, so finding shoes has never really been that much of a prolem. I am not saying this to brag, but my small feet do get quite a lot of comments, and not always good ones, why? I don't know. Joerg says: You must be one of the most grown-up teenagers I've come across.

Isn't it nice to stand out from the norm?!! I love standing out in the crowd. A lot of women would like to be tall. God made us this way so we should learn to embrace our height. It is an advantage!!! 6'2" Gabriella wrote (March 18th 2008) Ladies, whether 5'10'' or 7'0" you should know one word: CONFIDENCE. Nothing screams sexy to a man or even women more than that. A beautiful woman is one who, when she enters the room, sucks in all the air. My dear teenage sisters: if you find being tall makes you odd, it doesn't enjoy it. You don't need the tabloids to be popular; nature has already made you popular. Throw away those baggy clothes and dress to flatter your figure. Wear make up to enhance your looks and go strike a pose in the sun for the whole world to see that you have arrived. I am 6'2" and I enjoy my height. I am a size 18 with a big ass and broad hips. When I walk down the street, you are bound to notice. You know how many people are envying your long legs that stretch to almost eternity? Your arms? I love myself to the fullest and if someone has an issue then that is their problem. God made me tall and he did the same for you so be grateful to be one of the few who has been blessed that much. Remember that the Ugly Duckling matured to be the most beautifull SWAN! 5'10" Louise wrote (March 17th 2008) I find lots of tall clothes in the

I'm a size 14 with blonde hair and blue eyes, with long legs... but when I was younger I thought I had a curse, all the boys were shorter than me and I was always the tallest in the class. But as I got older (I'm 26 now) I realize I wasn't cursed but blessed. Nobody 4gets a tall girl do they? If you carry yourself well with confidence, u'll be the envy of a lot of women... I love nowt better than to put my short skirt on and my heels and heading out. I love it! If you are tall just accept it and use it to ur advantage. There's not a lot u can do but to be proud! 5'10" Amy wrote (March 15th 2008) Hi. It's great reading these quotes and knowing that other women feel the same way I do. I get told by my friends that they want to be tall but I tell them I want to be short. It would be so great to go to a club and dance knowing that I'm not the one that sticks out like a sore thumb. Anyway I've got to live with this hey. It is impossible to find a bloke that is a normal man height... (I class normal man height as 6ft plus), I would never be able to date someone shorter than me. I'd feel like the Mum if I did. Also I get really annoyed that short women nick all the tall men when they actually have the choice of any bloke short or tall. Sorry about my rant... I'm obviously a bit down at the moment about it... I like all the positive comments though :o) Thanks 5'10" Louise wrote (March 15th 2008) To Jenn (March 10) and others who have posted unhappiness with being tall: Yes, being tall can be difficult at times, especially when it comes to dating. Some of us simply are used to and prefer our men to be taller than us, when it comes to standing and hugging and so forth. I struggle with this: my man is a couple inches shorter than me. He minimizes the difference, but to me it's huge. He is such a wonderful person though, we have been deeply in love for years, and he treats me like a princess (every day!). I wouldn't trade him for any taller man. He is the best. I have to accept our height difference not going the way I'd like, but that doesn't make our relationship any less rich. We all have a choice: either accept what life presents and make the best of it, or beat our heads against the wall. I choose to accept life and all the happiness that is there for the taking. And it's okay to have times when you struggle or get a bit down. We are humans with feelings, not robots. In order to experience happiness, you have to be able to experience sadness, too. It's part of the human condition. So is the ability to choose! Choose to get involved in clubs or activities, dare yourself to try at least one new thing every week... choose to change your focus to fun! My best to everyone. 5'11 1/2" Jewel wrote (March 14th 2008) Whats up all. Been a while. Anyways, Jenn, you could have been taller - and then what? 6'3" Jheri wrote (March 11th 2008) Jenn, I will try to counter what you are saying. There are some things where being tall cuts your choices. Clothing, where you can ride in an airplane and things like that. I happen to be taller than most of the guys I meet, but big deal. There are lots of people who can just be friends and don't let a little thing like a few inches of height get in the way. If a guy is so superficial that height is a problem, you don't want him anyway - even if you are shorter. Guys like that have problems. There are wonderful things about being tall. Little kids think you must be magic, you can help people reach stuff, people notice you. Maybe they notice too much sometimes, but you can be comfortable with your friends. My apt mate is jealous of my height sometimes. She has a real problem getting noticed. That never happens to me. I don't get lost in the crowd. 5'11" really isn't *that* tall. You can still find clothes that fit without tailoring. You don't slam into doors when you are wearing heels. You probably don't get trapped in cars. Those are things that happen to me, but I wouldn't trade my height for anything. Another thing that comes with being a tall woman. You can get away with being a bit assertive. Go ask some guys out - don't worry about waiting for a tall enough guy to show up. Just go out and have fun. It works for me. 5'10 1/2" Linda wrote (March 11th 2008) This is in response to Jenn. You can't do anything about your height so you might as well like it! Why go through life hating yourself? That's really sad! If someone says something about you being so tall, ask them "is that a bad thing"? Or say "I know, I'm so lucky!" 5'11" Jenn wrote (March 10th 2008) I hate, hate, hate being tall! I have always wanted to be short. I can't stand this crap. All the men I meet are shorter. How would you like to have your choices in the dating world made even smaller because you are so damn freakishly tall that you can only date men over 6"? As if dating wasn't hard enough already, right? This tall stuff is for the birds. It's awful. No matter what you do, people notice you. What I would't give to wear a size small. Oh my God, I haven't been able to do that since I was a child. Damn. Joerg says: This is probably the most negative quote I've ever read. Hard to counter what you're saying, I'm afraid. One thing though: Try to be a little more positive so you can enjoy yourself more. 6'0" Charisse wrote (March 8th 2008) Jheri, dear heart... good for you! You've shown that you can go out and have a great time no matter what. That's how you show them!!! continue dancing and you never know....you might end up teaching someone else how to get down. To Erika: BRAVO!!!! We have been mocked, labeled, and probed for as long as time its self. But you are completely correct. And I commend you for what you have said and what you believe in. 6'3" Jheri wrote (March 8th 2008) Last night I went swing dancing for the first time. It is getting popular here and there are at least two clubs in my town. What is very nice is the people are friendly as they always want new people. They are also so interested in watching other dancers that you are not noticed. I was the tallest person out of about 50, but no one stared. People were watching the couples who were very good. I don't know how most of these work, but they had a beginners session for the first hour where experienced people try to teach beginners. They were teaching a dance called the Lindy Hop. It was too complicated for me to learn in that time, but it was a lot of fun. For the next two hours people just danced. They were very helpful with woman and men teaching the three of us who were new. I was not out of place. Only two comments about height and they were friendly. So the young ones who worry about sticking out may want to try dancing where instruction is doing on. 6'7" Erika wrote on her myspace (March 8th 2008) These words of wisdom from the tall club woman out there at the Tip-Toppers Club of Los Angeles, which I hope rings with some of you.

There is tallness like really tall, model tall, Big Girl tall, and fetish Amazon-Giantess Tall which I wish to address with the humble alacrity of a train horn. After reviewing the posts on Amazon-Fest I DON'T LIKE BEING TALL WHEN TREATED LIKE A TOKEN!! 5'9" girls can get on with life with plenty of men and shoes to choose from. The model tall get all the attention and can afford to splurge on shoes from all the credit lines of the drooling suitors; multiple come-a-calling, yet have their turns with the rock-star league of gentleman-grunge. Big Girl tall; the sad the lonely and the horribly frustrated at the really tall men dating Ms. Squat's Shortness to my friends and yours the Amazon-Giantess—who have to be paraded around like some form of FREAK SHOW—the stomping and the lifting from the by-gone era of the traveling carnival delighting the morbidly curious. I guess being more than woman is really neo-novelty crowing for a great bizarre. I hope you girls at Amazon-Fest and the even sicker fan club of dehumanizing men who treat us not as cherished gifts, but objects or the brunt of anti-erotic jokes. Please girls have a bit of pride and leave the worm-like-harlequins to their devices and become ladies however tall you are.

Maybe some other things. But never my height. I like my height. When I wear heels I do feel taller than everybody because I am. Although I feel funny when I wear them that's not going to keep me from wearing them. As long as your outfit is really nice and your stiletto heels look good. Wear them and when somebody says something it's because they are jealous. By the way: I am 32 years old 6'2" Elise wrote (March 4th 2008) I just came across this site, too. I was actually Google-ing some funny
quotes for tall people to say, and this was one of the sites that popped up. I
had never been amazingly tall for my age - just moderately. But I had been told
that I would be at least 6' with my large feet (size 13 Women's, currently). But
once i turned 14, I shot up. Almost 4 inches over the course of 2 years, I
believe. At first I was self-conscious, because I stood a good 8 inches above
most of my friends, and while they were developing more feminine bodies, I was
only getting taller and skinnier. But now at 16, I have grown to love it. Of
course I have been labeled "that tall girl" by upperclassmen, and once at the
mall a man asked if I got my legs from a baby giraffe, but I play basketball,
and being tall definitely has a great advantage in that game. And I once read
that for every inch taller you are than someone else, you will earn $10,000 more
on average than them. But anyways, I'm 6'2" at 16, and still growing,
apparently. There are still some disadvantages, for the guys always seem to
goggle over my shorter, more curvy friends. And people always ask my
height first, then my age, then my name - especially at family reunions. Also,
it is incredibly hard to find jeans, which are what i mainly wear since shorts
look like thin strips of cloth on my legs. But I found this great store called

At first it was just the mean little boys used to call me things like "tree, skyscraper, giraffe, giant..." you name it, they thought of it. But now of all people, it is my 6'5" math teacher who is giving me grief about being tall. Of course I play basketball. It is my serenity, yet my inflictor of pain. The other girls on the team are only nice to me if I'm having a good game, because I play so much more than them that they get mad, and so does my mom (5'8") because I can't walk the day after my tourneys. My dream is to be a world famous model, to just say "that's right, I'm 6'1" and a great model!" My mom, trying to discourage me, said I am too big to be a model, when I run a size 5. That hurt me more than all the mean little boys, but has made me more determined to prove her wrong. I need help and inspiration. You can't teach tall, but sometimes I wish it came with a hand book.

It was sometimes difficult as a teenager, but I found playing sports helped. I played basketball. It increased my self-confidence and it gave me something else to focus on beside boys. Today I am married to a wonderful, tall man of 6'5". He loves for me to wear my 3 or 4" heels, so he can feel what it is like to be shorter than a woman. They also accentuate my extremely shapely, long legs. My inseam is 38". I also work in an office sales environment where the tallest man is only 5'7" and the tallest woman is 5'3". The men are in awe of me and the women or jealous. On a daily basis, I get comments from total strangers about my height or my legs. Most of the time, it doesn't bother me at all. They are mostly very complimentary and usually just curious. Women like us are very rare and most people find us fascinating. Use this to your advantage. Being a tall woman is a huge benefit, not a handicap. Tall women of the world stand tall with pride! Joerg says: Couldn't agree with you more!
6'1" Megan wrote (February 24th 2008) Thank you Kris for your comment. I am a senior in high school and I am always wondering what it will be like when I am older, if you really do learn to have more confidence about height. And for all you other tall not BIG teenage girls out there: I have loved playing basketball and other sports - it was a great use of my height. Joerg says: I know a lot of BIG girls who have played (or play) basketball... they are all tall though. If you find a sport you like and it helps you feel better about yourself go for it. 5'10" Margaret wrote (February 21st 2008) Great site and so many good quotes! It's funny how a person's sense of height can change in different circumstances. I often don't feel very tall (I guess I'm on the shorter end) and only notice it when trying to find long enough clothes. I recently started a new job working with two women under 5'2 and two men under 5'7. They treat me like a giant! On a regular basis, the men joke around about how a short man at a meeting came up to my waist, I shouldn't wear heels, etc. At first, I only wore flats and went along with the jokes. Then I realized that stepping around their little-man syndrome was a waste of time. I've started wearing heels and responding that I'm not tall, they're just short. It feels great! Being short would be much worse - people would consider you "cute" and, as my boss says, you get stuck riding at armpit level on public transit. 6'1 1/2" Salihah wrote (February 21st 2008) 5'8" Joerg says: I have my own classification for tall women. Somewhat tall (5'9" - 5'11"), tall (6'0" - 6'2"), really tall (6'3" - 6'5"), very tall (6'6" - 6'8") and extremely tall (6'9" and over). I can only talk about my own experience but I've noticed that really tall women seem to find me more suitable as a partner than somewhat tall ones do. I wonder why that is. My answer: Women who are only 5'8" to 5'10" still have a chance to find a man taller than they are, they will hold out and hope beyond hope that a 6'0" guy will talk to you them. Now take that 6'6" girl - she can not hope for the same. Finding a man taller than her is damn near impossible so she will accept a 5'8" guy very quickly. She may even tell herself that she prefers short men when in fact that is all she can get. I myself being over six foot find that taller men have their choice between all women tall and short and feel like "A King". I had a tall guy ask me why I wasn't drooling over him like everyone else was. Why would he believe that I would fall over myself just to get to him. He was rude and had many women. He said he didn't like tall women because we did not treat him like "A King". He said short women fall over themselves trying to get with a 6'6" man. I didn't even look in his direction and it made him flaming mad! 5'11 1/2" Jewel wrote (February 21st 2008) No Jheri, I have always been a consistent 6ft, in fact, an EXACT 6er.

Everyone asks me if I play

don't get me wrong, but I sometimes think it would be so much easier if I was
shorter. Especially with guys. Guys just don't think of me as a girlfriend or
attractive just because I'm tall. I know it's not because I'm ugly or not
pretty, people tell me I am all the time, but sometimes I just can't believe
them because guys just don't like me because I'm tall. I wish they could just
get over that, but I know they won't. Maybe someday I'll find the right guy for
me. If you think it's hard to find men, clothes are another story. I'm on the
slimmer side and have very long legs so it's hard to find pants that fit me. I

As to the self-esteem issue, you're in what is probably the toughest year developmentally: sophomore in high school. Not only are there major physical changes taking place, but the stuff that goes on in high shcool that year - huge academic load amidst a whirlwind of social pressures - make ALL students question who they are and how they fit in. The self-esteem crisis drives lots of girls (and some guys) to eating disorders, cutting, and other dangerous coping behaviors. The majority of girls in eating disorder clinics are average height or shorter than average. Many are very pretty and thin, and you'd think, 'How could they possibly be unhappy about their size?!' Well, the answer is, it's not really their size that's the issue; it's their self-esteem. You are ahead of the game, Alex, in that you recognize that self-esteem is an issue for you, and you're not afraid to admit it. Take comfort in the fact that it's an issue for probably all teens. Many of the girls you pass in the hallways at school might look all confident and together on the outside, but trust me: they're struggling with issues on the inside. Like Jheri (Feb. 11) suggested, get involved in school activities, like sports or chorus or science team... check out all the stuff your school has to offer. During this turbulent year, nothing beats being part of a group. Doesn't mean you hang out with the same kids all the time, but it does help you feel like you fit in. Sounds like you have a great head on your shoulders... I'd wish you luck, but I don't think you need it. You're going to do great just being you! 6'3" Jheri wrote (February 16th 2008) To Jewel: Getting an accurate height measurement is difficult and if you want it to a cm (about a half inch), you need to have someone who is skilled make the measurement. Posture is important, how fluffy your hair is (why they put pressure on the top piece that hits your head) and there is a diurnal (sp) variation in your height due to the effects of gravity. You are usually tallest when you wake up in the morning. This variation can be a few cm in some people (nearly an inch). Mine varies from 189.5 to 191cm when taken professionally. I go with 190cm when asked. 5'10" Liz wrote (February 15th 2008) I love being tall, I always stand out. 5'11" Janna wrote (February 14th 2008) I've always been tall growing up. Even though I was aware of this it wasn't until I was about 14 that it started to become an issue with me. It was difficult to see my friends and other girls my age getting attention from guys and me being left in the corner. I was too apologetic over my height and used to justify being treated like a leper. I thought I was the weird one, and the odd one out, and it was only natural that guys would be repelled by me. However, it wasn't until I was about 17 that I began to realise that any (positive) attention that I had got over the years had come from guys who had really amazing personalities, they were self assured, had varied interests, and were probably a little quirky themselves - which I love. This was exemplified more so when I went to university. To all the girls who are in the position that I used to feel when I was just a little younger - think quality not quantity. I'm in my late twenties now, and yes, you have an off day about yourself, but every girl in the world feels this at time to time - but never feel the need to excuse your height for anyone or feel that your place in society is any less deserved than anyone else. Tall girls are lucky- when a guy likes you the thing you're probably most insecure about is on full view to him- and he still likes you for it- its more or less done and dusted - other women's - insecurities lay mainly in their heads or under their clothing, and takes a whole other, perhaps longer journey to deal with. 5'11 1/2" Jewel wrote (February 14th 2008) Well, Joerg, firstly, you might discover that although I usually post 6ft, I am posting 5'11 1/2" today because I just got measured at doctor's other day, and I have well, "shrank". It's not a big deal, I still consider myself 6ft, which I have always been. To little Sarah below: All people are different, they come in various formats shapes and sizes, and some people hate short, fat women, whilst others tall leggy ones, truth is, we can't have anything both ways, and your attitude is on the mark girl. Don't let anybody make you feel hurt, you are responsible for your feelings. I don't consider you even really tall, so dress up in your heels, little tight DECENT skirt, do your hair and nails and face and walk like a model in town-centre, let them worship.

However, I agree with many of your comments, especially the ones about people asking if you play basketball, but I understand that those people are just trying to be friendly. The thing that annoys me the most is when guys say that they'd NEVER date a girl taller than them. Today one of my "friends" said it to me and at first it kind of hurt my feelings. Then, I remember how much I love being tall and all of the great things that it enables me to do. I decided that not to let shallow and ignorant boys, who are obviously not comfortable with their "size" (lol) bother me! So, now i think guys like that are super funny.

I'm 15 a sophomore in high school and 5'11 3/4" and I have major self-esteem problems. I know I should be proud of being tall but most of the time I hate it cuz all the guys are shorter than me and I've never had a real boyfriend or even a guy say I'm pretty or anything. It's really depressing when all the guys only like the short girls that have terrible personalities and here I am who's nice and funny and just wants someone. I know when I'm older guys will grow up and appreciate me and want me but what do I do till then? Cuz I don't want to go through all of high school the lonely dateless awkward giant girl. I wanna be like y'all who are confident in yourselves and showing off y'alls beautiful tall selves but I'm having a really hard time doing that. 5'11" Lauren wrote (February 10th 2008) I'm not comfortable being tall.

In high school I was tall and skinny and had to wear a dorky school uniform that accentuated it. I always felt so out of place with my friends who were always shorter with coke bottle figures. Sometimes I would try to wear heels but whenever I went out in them, I found myself trying to stay seated for most of the night, so i'd watch my friends having fun and wouldn't join them. Since I've gone to college however, I find that it doesn't matter as much. I go to a college in the US and they're a lot of tall, beautiful girls so I think to myself, some of these girls are taller than me and I think they're georgeous. So I feel georgeous now too and I think that's what people see when they look at me too. If not? Screw them. 6'0" Linda wrote (February 6th 2008) I just found this site and it is awesome!

I am always on the search for stores that carry fashionable clothes that fit me. I hope I can learn something here and share some of what I've learned. I am 46 years old and absolutely love being tall. I didn't always feel that way, however, it's taken me years to feel compfortable.

They complain about our height, talk about how we are happy to be tall and have questions and suggestions about clothing mostly. How about some stories? Funny, strange or whatever. Height related and not height related. I have many and many of you probably do too. Here's one: Here is a practical joke I did last year. I won't mention the country to protect the guilty (me).. It is related to tall other than I have a lot of confidence from being tall. I had to blow off some steam after a really bad week and decided to do what is for me a big practical joke. The idea was to go to a public event and take enough of the men's urinals out of service to make them wait like we have to. I found a big roll of yellow vinyl tape with "out of service" printed in this countries language. Then I got a workman's vest to look like a workman. I thought a lot and found a pre season hockey series by some local clubs at a small rink not far from where I live. The idea was guys drink a lot of beer when they watch hockey. So it was Friday night... I got in early with my coat over my workman's vest and my hair tied back. As people were coming in I scouted out the facilities. A men's room and a women's room. This isn't a big place and they mostly use it for people who practice skating and club hockey games. There was a janitor's closet, but it was locked. I took out a credit card and was able to move the little lock bar and got in. Inside I hung up my coat and found the janitor's cart. It had a mop, pail, garbage can and a few signs including a closed for cleaning sign. I left the room and waited about fifteen minutes for the game to get going, then I went back in and took the cart. I knocked on the men's room door and asked if anyone was in. No one answered. So I propped open the door with the cart, put out a closed for repair sign and went in with my tape and tools. First I put the tape over all ten urinals, then I used a wrench to shut off the water to each one. That part felt risky and probably took five minutes, but it was pretty exciting. I didn't touch the three toilets, figuring a thousand guys drinking beer need more than that. I left the mop and pail to make it look like something had happened, and then went back to the janitor's closet where I put the cart back in and put on my coat. I heard someone walk by and waited about a minute become coming out, closing the door and letting it lock behind me. I should have gone in and watched the game, but I was excited and scared at the same time, so I just walked out into the night, got on my bike and raced home. I don't think many guys carry pipe wrenches with them and most probably don't know how to pick locks (Jheri was a really bad influence on her older brother), even if they are really easy to pick. Joerg says: Oh, my... Oh, my! 6'3 1/2" Saliha wrote (February 2nd 2008) Hi, everybody!! My name is Saliha and I'm 22 years old at 6'3 1/2". I think I can agree with everybody when they say growing up was tough but we all managed through it. People are going to find something to pick on you about, so if it wasn't your height then trust and believe they would have found something else. Sooo you can't be pressed that people want you to conform and you can't. I mean there's no operation you can have to make you shorter... so you might as well deal with it and make the best of it. Besides if people are going to look, give em something to look at, right. You got to be confident, you got to feel it. Remember you're not abnormal, nine times out of ten one or both of your parents are tall sooo two tall parents make a tall baby. That sounds normal to me... You know how many people do crazy stunts or drastic things to get noticed?? See you don't have to do all that. You can wear sweats or heels, people gonna look in astonishment regardless! So be proud and represent. Don't think you're the only one out there... all my amazons need to stop hiding and come out of the dark corners to be an example to other tall divas. Don't let complete stangers make you feel small! Be the bigger person... literally you are. And don't let complete strangers dictate your life. If you don't want to play basketball then DON'T PLAY. You live in a world where the norm isn't the norm anymore, you have to break these stereotypes not just for yourself but for your daughters who will be tall, their daughters and every other woman. LOVE Y'ALL MY TALL DRINKS OF WATERS!!! 5'10" Lena wrote (February 2nd 2008) For as long as I can remember I hated being tall. What made it worse is that I have always been thin. I didn't have any boyfriends in high school, which made me feel even more like the odd (wo)man out. I was a bit of a jock in high school which gave me some confidence. I have just recently started to feel comfortable in my own skin. I am now a mother and I want my son to love and be satisfied with who he is... so I've got to lead by example. It is hard to drown out the negative words that were spoken to me, but I am learning to do just that. To all the teens and young women: Always love yourself, and don't let others trap you with their words. People forget what they say, but for you to hold onto it puts you in a prison... that's no way to live life. 5'11 1/2" Yomi wrote (February 2nd 2008) I'm about 5ft11 - 6ft. At times I love my height but there are times when I would do almost anything to be short so that I could wear high heeled shoes, skirts without them being too short and feel like an equal compared to other girls. My boyfriend is shorter than me. Not that much, maybe about 2 inches shorter but it also makes him feel insecure about his height because I'm taller. I'm quite thin - not size 0, more like a size 10, and wish I knew what more I could do to my height and not just hide in clothes that I'm lucky fit. I wish I had a wider range of clothes to select from but then I guess I'm also scared about standing out and people just staring. I just wish I was equal to other girls. I know that there are other girls that are my height and taller but being in the UK where the average height is 5ft4 - 5ft5, being over that height I feel like we tall girls are one of a kind. But that doesn't stop it from being hard . 5'10" Roe wrote (February 1st 2008) I am a 5'10", 26 year old female, and I have ALWAYS been tall for my age. All through life, the mean and blantantly rude comments people made to me about my height really bothered me. I never had a boyfriend in high school, and I remember on a few occasions guys say "You're cute, but you're too tall for me". That really hurt. Got my 1st boyfriend at age 19, and he was 5'4". Go figure, right? LOL. I have never worn heels, even though I always had a strong desire to. But was too insecure. Well in December, I made a New Year's resolution to start living my life they way that I want to, and stop trying to make other others feel comfortable. I said to myself: "I have had enough of slouching and trying to hide my height. I am going to wear heels daily, and learn how to walk with pride!" I immediately went out and bought a new wardrobe and about 10 pair of high heels, and was determined to strut my stuff in them. Well let me tell ya... It has only been a few weeks, and I have worn heels at least 5 times a week!!! I feel so free and it's like I have a new lease on life! I have of course recently gotten the "WOW, you're so tall!" comments, and I always respond "Yeah, it's beautiful!" I've noticed people are caught off guard by such assertiveness and self-praise, and they don't know what to say next after that. LOL. Ladies, please listen to me. Life is too short... literally. Put on those heels and stand tall and confident!! No one should have to slouch or wear flats to appease a man and his ego. I'm waiting for the man that will approach me while I'm in my 3-inch stiletto boots.. because that is a man who is secure and accepting!!! Normally it's Ladies only but I'm making an exception for
Evening, folks! I'm not a woman, but I've been through the same things that everyone on this site has been through. I'm actually a little taller than the stated 7' available on Joerg's form :-) I was 6' 9" at age 17, which gives you a clear indication of what we're dealing with. Hang in there, folks, I know it's very tricky at times because the world is chockablock full of people who can't wait to point out what we already know and whose "Think Before You Speak" licence has expired. Believe me, tall gets better and better as time goes along. Tall is never uncool. It never looks bad. Ever. Some people are just not ready for us, that's all. There's an expression in basketball circles. They say, "You can't teach height". They are absolutely right. Remember this, though: tall people bring something to every situation that no-one else is capable of. We attract attention all the time, obviously... Some people manage to control their curiosity, others not so much. (All the jokes and comments paint quite a worrying picture of the people who make them. If seeing a tall person is too much for them, Goodness knows what'll happen when they see something REALLY unusual. Spontaneous combustion is my bet. They'll just burst into flames...) The kind of advice I can offer, based on things that proved VERY helpful to me, are to do things like the following: Surround yourself with images of tall people, read up on tall issues, let it become a cool feature about you. Take an "attacking" position when facing the comments etc., like saying in reply: "You wish you were as tall as me. Everyone does! Everybody wants to be taller!" This is actually very true. There's not a person in the world who wouldn't like to be taller (even if only slightly!). I would like to be five or so inches taller myself. Fact. Tall is supergroovy, it is supercool and at the end of the day most people just wish that they were taller. Who wouldn't? Peace out! 6'5 1/2" Jimmie wrote (January 29th 2008) Well Mel, Karen and Melissa, Loves. Don't worry bout it! I still really don't have much confidence but since I found this site and started talking to wonderful people (like Joerg) I realized something: Don't listen to what other people who are unimportant in your life think because you know what? They don't do it very often. I'm proudly (kinda) 6'5 AND A HALF! (since Joerg doesn't have it on the height). And I wear anything from flat dress shoes to 4 or 5 inch heels because they make me feel good.... make my feet hurt but they make me feel good. And as for the jeans, you can also try Fashion Bug - they've got good jeans that are custom ordered... I think they go up to a 39" inseam. I know they've got 37" and 38" because I've got them. But ya'll don't fret about the men. Lots of guys who you meet will become your best friends and you'll learn things that you'd only learn by getting hurt otherwise. And some you can have eat out of the palm of your hand (or get a crate to stand on to kiss you!). But I think with time you get more confidence... I'm fixing to be 19 in March and I'm just NOW getting my confidence and self-esteem booted. Love to all! Joerg says:
Oh, my... Jimmie. You're more confident than I thought
5'10" Karen wrote (January 29th 2008) I'm glad someone thinks about us. Here's my story: Well, I'm only fourteen and standing at 5'10" so that means I have 2 more years of growing to do! I don't have a problem with it either cause I know I'm going to be a goddess when I grow up!!! Joerg says: You don't know it yet but you've just made
my day,
Sweetie. And I'm sure I'm not alone out there!
6'2" Melissa wrote (January 29th 2008) Hiya, everyone! My name is Melissa. I'm finding it really hard being tall due to the fact everyone is so mean when they see a girl who is a lot taller than them, especially men. It really hurts because all my friends are small and everytime I go anywhere all I get is ''... the size of you!"', ''... how tall are you?'' or '... 'aren't you big''. I find it really hard to find shoes too. The only shop that goes up to my size is Evans. I find it really hard because the shoe I want they never have in my size (11). It's all platform heels and I don't want to make myself look taller. I know I should love my height but I have to have (more) confidence in the way I look. Joerg says: Have you taken a look at the Shoes International section UK? There are several companies listed that cater to women who wear a size 11 (UK). And not all shoes in bigger sizes are platform heels. There are plenty of flats out there. 6'2" Scarlett wrote (Januarly 29th 2008) Hii! Mel, I'm just about to finish High School here in England, and I know exactly how you feel! I remember times when I was with my 'so called friends' and they would stand and make comments about the size of my feet and the length of my legs being abnormal. It's obvious that your a smart girl, and you shouldn't let the things people say let you down. Whatever height, weight, colour you are people are still going to find something to criticise. I like the fact that being tall (and big built in my case!) makes me feel safer when im out and about. Also being able to see over the heads of people at concerts and in the cinema is a bonus as well! I only have one friend now that is taller than me, and one of the same height. All I can say is, that all that matters is that your happy in your own skin. Sometimes you just have to ignore what the sceptics say. Good Luck :) 6'0" Tiffani wrote (January 29th 2008) Been taller than alot of people most of my life. About 90% of the time I love
it. People always need your help to, say, get something off the top shelf or
hang pictures. Buying clothes however absolutely STINKS! I have found one store
that carries the perfect jean for me: "Buckle 6'4" Gabrielle wrote (January 28th 2008) I know just how you feel, Mel. It can be really hard to get through school when you're different. At this point, I promise, it's a waiting game. The boys come to their senses eventually. Be confident, embrace what makes you different. And you're not alone, every woman on this website (mostly) either went through, or is going through exactly what you're going through. Forget the short girls. Forget the mean boys. In a couple years, they'll line up for you. Take it from someone who lived it! 5'11" Mel wrote (January 28th 2008) I'm already 5'11" and 14 and it makes me feel so awkward when im around any of my friends who are around average height, I get bullied by the kids at my school just about how tall I am, and it's driving me crazy. Everyone is telling me to appreciate my height, and how I could model (which I'm not) or how taller people are considered smarter and how guys like taller women (which is definetly not true at my school). Even if I play a sport that is considered for taller people the shorter people are still better then me! I don't know what to do about it now and what their saying doesn't seem true because it seems that people only like the short girls and just laugh at me because I look down at them. Any advice is appreciated =( 6'0" Jewel wrote (January 28th 2008) Shumani: always, and Gabrielle: I like the ring of that word "abstinence". Lovely. YOU GOTTA STICK NO MATTER WHAT. 5'11" Shumani wrote (January 27th 2008) Hi, my name is Shumani and I'm from Thohoyandou, currently in Pretoria because I'm studying there. I never hate to be tall and I am tall. This year I'm going to turn 21. I don't see any problem with being tall as long as you can do everything a normal person can do. By the way, people used to describe a good looking person as being tall and slender, you are dark, you are light - they don't check these things. Even those who enter Miss World must be tall and slender... SO TALL IS BEAUTIFUL 6'4" Gabrielle wrote (January 26th 2008) Thanks for the advice Jewel, and you don't have to worry about me, I'm an abstinent teen, so I've already made the firm decision to wait until marriage. Your concern means a lot though, i appreciate it! 6'0" Jewel wrote (January 25th 2008) Gabrielle: Just think of the height difference. I dont think 3 inches is bad at all! Especially if one day you wanna feel a bit level, wear flaties and him thick soled shoes. 3 - 5 inches is where a woman is taller but still "ok-ish" and it looks attractive, be REALLY confident, it's so attractive. Take care of your sexual health first though. Wait till marriage - ideally. If not use a condom (they are not fail-proof though). Chanel: More grease to your elbows! All the best! 6'4" Gabrielle wrote (January 24th 2008) Chanel, I truly hope you appreciate how lucky you are that you've never dealt with height related problems. And thanks, Jewel! Comments like yours keep me going. So right now I'm heading towards a possible relationship with a shorter guy. (He's around 6'1") Any advice? Joerg says: Go for it. I'd love it if a lady like you were interested in me (but then I'm not 6'1" and much too old anyway). 6'0" Jewel wrote (January 24th 2008) Gabrielle, your atitude's brilliant, I know you will make it. 5'11" Chanel wrote (January 23rd 2008) Hey! My name is Chanel and I'm 5'11 and I love it! I never have any problems with guys or other people. I really think that God made me tall for a reason, and for all of the tall ladies STAND UP STARIGHT, DONT HUNCH OVER AND USE YOUR HEIGHT LOVE YOUR HEIGHT! =) 6'4" Gabrielle wrote (January 23rd 2008) Hey, I want you to know you're not alone in worrying about your height. I'm 17, so I know just what it feels like to walk through school hallways and have everyone stare at you, often negatively. I can promise you it gets easier, it's all a matter of learning to accept and embrace being different. I have a lot of tips for things like dressing and flirting, all in ways that compliment your advanced height! Send Joerg an e-mail so he can forward it to me. I'd be happy to share some tricks. 6'0" Jewel wrote (January 22nd 2008) What a shame, Camilla... :( 5'10" Alix wrote (January 22nd 2008) Camilla, I'm 5'10 1/2" and I know how you feel! I used to feel very awkward getting on the bus and having my head an inch away from the ceiling! I used to be very insecure about my height and let myself think I was shorter. The minute anyone asked "How tall are you?" I would let it ruin my day. Sometimes I even came home from school crying. Now that I'm 21 I have learned to LOVE love LOVE my height. Let's face it we have such an advantage over "average" sized women! The only reason anyone that doesn't know you would be mean to you is because they are insecure or jealous. People stop me in the street or the metro to tell me I am "strikingly beautiful" and they probably wouldn't notice me if I wasn't taller than your average chick. It's hard being in school when most of the guys are a couple years behind the girls height wise, but they will catch up. I am dating the most wonderful gorgeous man (he is 6'2") and he loves that I’m tall! So I wouldn’t have it any other way. Hope this post helped out ;) 5'10" Camilla wrote (January 20th 2008) I am extremely insecure about my height. No matter how hard I try to embrace it, there seems to be more bad days then good. I am constantly trying to convince myself that I am 5'9" and every time I measure myself I slouch a bit to make it look as though I'm smaller. I don't think there's ever been a day where I've been happy to be tall :( It's come to a point where I don't even want to stand up and I hate getting on the bus because I almost touch the ceiling and it makes me feel so insecure. I have a pretty face but people never notice it because it's my height that catches their eye and boys only ever look at me as their "friend." I even try to put on weight becuase being skinny makes me look taller. I hate it when people make rude comments about my height especially when they use the word "lanky". It hurts me so much, I'm not sure why but if someone makes a slight comment about my height, it often upsets me for the rest of the day. I constantly wish I was smaller and had a curvy figure instead of being a 'stick' - I do try to over come my insecurity like some of the women have on here but I dont think I will ever be completely happy with my height. I just wish i was just that little bit smaller :( 5'11" Margaret wrote (January 19th 2008) I have just come across this site and boy I love it. I am 39 and have always been very uncomfortable with my height. The main reason being that I have always struggled to find stylish clothes and shoes, and have always bought whatever is available. This site has lifted my spirits and has given tips - I think it will go a long way in boosting my self esteem. Thanx Joerg 6'0" Jewel wrote (January 11th 2008) Joerg, is there a chance people could show their heights. It makes it easier for reference. Case in point LAURA's comment leaves us guessing what height really is on the shorter side of tall! 5'8" Joerg says: I have added the height of each contributor to all entries made in 2008. I may try and add the respective height to the older entries as well. I hope this helps. 6'0" Hannah wrote (January 11th 2008) I like being tall, it's really cool. I dont mind, I feel good about it! Ok, not always... jiji, for example, I haven't dated anyone taller than me. I have dated shorter guys, but my dream is to be with a man taller than me. Where I live there are not many tall guys, and the ones that I have known are just not my type... So that would be a problem, I guess. I'll be patient :) Shoes, jeans, shirts... that's definetely a problem too ! Most of the time I buy male clothes/shoes, and that in some way make me feel insecure cause I don't wanna look like a boy. I wanna be considered girly, delicate, and cute! Not rude and evil :P Another problem for me is that I always walk with my shoulders and head down. I don't even notice it! I just do it and my neck hurts :( ...jiji. However I love being tall, I feel good :) and it helps when I play basketball with my basketball team :) 6'3" Jheri wrote (January 10th 2008) I see that I'm a "really tall woman" by Joerg's comment :-) But I think he is right. I don't have much of a problem with the height of a guy. I think our sort of height is rare enough that you just get used to things and height in people just isn't important. There are exceptions, but I think I'm more typical. A friend sent me this link: http://www.paleofuture.com/2008/01/taller-women-by-year-2000-1949.html amazon women by 2000!. Amazing sexism and really funny from another age. In reality the average height of a woman in the US went down in the last fifty years even when they correct for immigration. Other countries are getting taller. I haven't seen anything on my native Canada, but I think it must be like the US. There was a great article on it a few years ago that someone mailed to me. Here is the link: http://www.newyorker.com/archive/2004/04/05/040405fa_fact. 5'8" Joerg says: I have my own classification for tall women. Somewhat tall (5'9" - 5'11"), tall (6'0" - 6'2"), really tall (6'3" - 6'5"), very tall (6'6" - 6'8") and extremely tall (6'9" and over). I can only talk about my own experience but I've noticed that really tall women seem to find me more suitable as a partner than somewhat tall ones do. I wonder why that is. 5'10" Laura wrote (January 10th 2008) I realize as far as tall goes, I am on the shorter side, however we should all be proud of it. It is a rare beautiful thing. Yes, as a young person I received ridicule, but as an adult I receive a lot of respect. Most men find it attractive too. I am married and my husband is 6'4" and like having a tall man too. Wish all of you well in your journey! There are other really great benefits too, like being able to see over crowds and not have to ask someone to get something off the top shelf, always look at the positives. 6'2" Kris wrote (January 8th 2008) I'm 50 years old and 6'2". No one was my height way back when I was a teenager. It was so very painful. Constantly ridiculed and made fun of. My mom taught me to stand up straight and to act confident even though I was very insecure. I learned to fake it and one day I actually became confident. People are so stupid. They'll say "oh my gosh, how TALL are you?" like I'm a freak. I would never ask someone "how fat are you?" My biggest problem now? I have really long legs and I need a 39" inseam if I want to wear 2" heels. So hard to find jeans that long. Thanks for creating this website. To all the young tall girls out there: when you enter a room, stand tall and walk proud and when you do, you'll own the place. 6'3" Jheri wrote (January 8th 2008) I don't find shorter people hating me. There is a lot of curiosity when they see you for the first time, but the people I have gotten to know quickly find that the height isn't a big thing and it is about the person. It is different for teenagers, but that is a time when you and everyone around you in immature and mostly insecure. I hate heels and the pain they bring. When I'm not working, I'm in my running shoes. Unfortunately my work pretty much requires a certain type of dress that I can't pick myself. I'm experienced in walking with them, but ... feh - I dislike them so much. I wouldn't mind being taller, but with the real thing rather than shoes. Sadly, at 24, I'm not going to grow any more. One thing I have noticed is that people, when they first see me, look me over to see if I'm wearing heels. They seem more startled when they see I'm not :-) 5'10" Anela wrote (January 8th 2008) I'm 18 years old and 5'8", well, actually I might be 5'10". I'm European and I live in the USA now. I never have been put down about my height, in a bad way. Yes, I have been asked questions like "are you a model", "do you play basketball???", "how does it feel do be tall??? To tell you the truth I have my days where I hate being tall but I never let it bother me to the point where I would stress over it. People would always tell me how pretty I am, and that's what they notice about me the most and not how tall I am. I have lots of friends who love me for who I am. Sometimes it's hard to find a "tall" boyfriend but I would never go out with a short man - it makes me really uncomfortable. The only problem I have is finding jeans!!! I swear it makes me soo mad. I hate going to the mall knowing I will spend hours looking for jeans and won't find any!!! Anyways, I ignore everyone that says negative things about me [mostly girls]. I just take is as them being jealous =] Why bother caring what they have to say?? They just want to put you down to make themselves feel better. You have no idea how many guys [even short guys] have told me they are more attractive to tall woman than short. I even wear heels now, it doesnt even bother me that I just might be taller than few girls out there!! So what?? It's not the end off the world. I love who I am and I would never let anyone get the best off me. Stay positive... 5'8" Joerg says: Let's just say you're 5'10" and not 5'8". Otherwise I wouldn't have posted your quote on here. It keeps surprising me that more really tall women (6'3" and above) are open to dating shorter guys than somewhat tall women (5'10" and 5'11"). 5'10" Carol wrote (January 7th 2008) Hi guys, Carol here. I just love this site, I wish they had it around when I was in juior high, Anyway I am 53 and 5'10" and this site has helped me to start wearing my high heels again. It also helps when I go out with my son who is 6'8" and he gets the comments and he doesnt get bothered by it. He has a tall girlfriend who is georgous, and they make the most striking couple. I love it now , thanks Joerg ,for this great website for the gals that our younger than me, I really could have used this support years ago. Hugs to all. Carol 6'3" Mimi wrote (January 7th 2008) In response to what Clare wrote: Hon, I am 6'3" and wear 3 inch heels. It doesn't matter, I mean we are tall already so 3 more inches won't make a difference. It makes the short women hate on us more and look at us like we are the scum of the Earth. I get so much attention when I go out and nothing but short people surround me... it makes me laugh because I am the center of attention! To all the ladies: LOVE your height and how beautiful we all are! It is rare when you are 6'3" and up! So God made us this way for a reason and I wouldnt change it for nothing :-) 5'8" Joerg says: Not so sure about the "scum of the Earth" part but a lot of them are jealous alright. There's no reason not to wear heels unless you really find them uncomfortable. A tall woman in heels is a confident woman. She enjoys her height and is woman enough to enhance it even further. Go, girl... 6'2" Christine wrote (January 5th 2008) Faith: of course we have bigger feet than most average or short women, if we didn't we couldn't balance, remember we're very tall, so sure a 12 would be large on an average height woman, but not of a woman of 6 feet or over. Just my opinion. Hope you understand the perspective :> Peace, Christine :> 6'2" Clare wrote (January 5th 2008) There was a point in my life recently where I said to myself, "screw it! I love being tall and I love being a woman and if people are intimidated by me wearing 3 or 4 inch heels they can get over it!" But i soon realized that things are not that easy. I am 6'2" and if I wear 3 inch heels I am 6'5". That is about a FOOT taller than the average woman; a huge deficit. There are times when being 16 and 6'2" is close to insufferable. But I realize that there are actually women who envy me. Life is tough and when I start feeling bad for myself I think about people who actually do have it bad. I hope that all the young women who read this and go on this site realize that they have something that very few people have. Those who remark about our height are always one of two things; genuinely fascinated or jealous. Being confident and non insecure is easier said than done, believe me, I realize this, but remember that we have been blessed for a reason. So own your height and by doing this you will unconsciously own everything about you and give others the right to own their own individuality as well. 6'2" Katelyn wrote (January 2nd 2008) I'm 15 years of age and 6'2" tall. Sometimes being tall is hard but God helps me through everything. I'm sure all of us have been asked "Do you play basketball?" because I do all the time. I always hear remarks like "wow shes tall!" or "look how tall she is!" or they'll come up to me and say "you're tall". Normally I just ignore it but sometimes I'll look back over my shoulder and say "yeah I'm tall not deaf," "I do own a mirror you know," and sometimes if im agravated I'll say "& your short. What's your point?" and just walk off. Boys are easily intimidated by our heighth though. So I hear a lot of comments from them at school but I just ignore them. I know they're jealous that we hit a big growth spurt before they did :D. I was surfing the web for tall clothing and came across a site where a lady was saying that no one was over 5'10" and that manufactuers should stop making such long clothing because she has to get her pants hemmed because their to long. I replied by telling her that not everyone was average like her. I told her she should be glad that all she has to do is cut off the bottoms of her pants, unlike tall women we have to find extra fabric to go at the bottom of ours! She wasn't very nice about the way she was telling other women who were average about her "trouble" and they were agreeing with her. Saying that the only women who were tall were models. I simply told her she was wrong and that she needed to get her facts straight before she started running her mouth on a subject she didn't know much about. People like her irritate me. I'm just glad that someone has made a website for tall women, one that we can all talk about our problems and help each other out. It makes me feel good that someone else goes through, or has gone through, what I've been going through. You'll definitely hear from me again. :) THANK YOU Joerg!!! 5'11" Faith wrote (January 1st 2008) Hey, I just came across this site... it's pretty cool. I'm tall, I didn't like being tall before wasn't that much of a problem. I actually love it... Well, it's a beautiful thing. Even though my feet are humongasourous and the tall girls store has super expensive jeans and pants for no reason - it's not bad. The only thing I would love to change is my shoe size but I cant. It's so hard finding nice shoes in size 12. I want to model as well but I dont know where or how to start. I need help in a way. Joerg says: Well, most shoe companies on here sell shoes in at least up to a size 11, often 12. For some serious thoughts on modelling check the notes of a real catwalk model (who's 6'3" and a friend of mine). Are you a tall woman (5'10" and above, please) and would like to be quoted here? Tell me about it and I'll add your thoughts. (If you're a guy please use the Guestbook). Please enter your Email Address (for internal purposes only). It will not be published! I may try and contact you if the comment sounds "fishy".
