I hate my height so much. I’m 5’9 female and it’s a lot harder to date when you're a tall woman as being tall is seen as being less “feminine”. Tired of being met with the shocked faces of dates or even colleagues. Can’t wear heels. Wish I could get 5 inches out of my spine of something.

I’m a straight female so this isn’t weird— I love when a tall woman wears heels with all the confidence. I hope with time you find the right match where you don’t have to worry, regardless of his height.

Finding a dude.... HOW ABOUT FINDING FUCKING PANTS THAT FIT

Also this so so so annoying in USA. I'm eastern European and Nordic by heritage. I was considered tall as a kid because I got up to 5'7" by end of 4th grade... Then as an adult I'm now considered average in my home country but absurdly tall in America. When I went back to Sweden I felt tiny.

I've dated mostly men same height as me or shorter because apparently the funny ones aren't that tall...

I'd say 2/3 online originated dates I've been on - men lie about their height. Because then they act all surprised like "wow I didn't realize you actually were this tall" 😂 I personally don't care and found that majority of men I've met didn't either...

Now for personal preference I love tall men. I wanna feel tiny and dainty even tho I'm long. I've had partners who encouraged me to wear heels but it's not about their self confidence it's about how I feel here.. It made ME feel giant and unfeminine towering over my former boyfriend...

My current partner is 6'2" and it's lovely. I get to look up at him and snuggling is way more comfortable!

Also, I used to feel this way at one time in my life, but now the only problem I have with my height is my ability to find long pants and coats with long enough sleeves lol. I’m telling you, you are tall, OWN IT and consider it your best asset. I get the feeling of towering over people making you feel insecure, but you are beautiful, for you are fearfully and wonderfully made (Can I get an Amen?) don’t feel you need to shrink to fit into anyones mold. Why would you want to fit in, when you were made to stand out? The right person will love you just the way you are in all your tall glory.

Where are you living? 5’9” isn’t thaat tall in my opinion. I’m 5’7” and a lot of my friends are 5’8”-5’10” (even have had close girl friends at 6’ and 6’3”!). A lot of clothes look better on taller frames and it’s harder to become or look overweight! Also, you weed out the insecure men and can better justify only dating 6’+ guys than the shorter girls can 😂

Oh no, they definitely don’t laugh, which is why I screen anyone shorter than 6’ now - though guys def lie on the apps about it. I’m originally from Montana so that’s probably why I’m tall too…now I just need to go somewhere else and find a tall, unattached gent (most of my tall dude friends are married to my short female friends).

Don’t feel about bad your height. I personally don’t see it as less feminine and I love tall women. I know plenty of others that do too.

Tall men lean on their height too much, while short men are arrogant and call themselves "short kings" to try and compensate for their small stature when they are no better. There's no in between hahaha. Good luck out there.

Compensate how?

Also, just as a general comment, I think constant comments about our appearance (as women, as tall women) can lead to self-objectification and being fixated over how we look. We’re more than what we look like though. 💕

Most of the reasons tall women dislike their height is due to others’ reactions and our perceived desirability to men. There isn’t anything inherently wrong with being tall though, and desirability is also so varied.

Has anyone ever been in a mostly platonic relationship? I don’t like to label myself much, but I don’t really like intimacy and don’t really like romance.

It would be nice to find someone, but have it be platonic (any gender/sex). It’s weird, I know. It’s hard to articulate as well. Can anyone relate? 😭😭
