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 don’t know who you met and how but they can F off. You need to filter better before you meet them or agree to meet them.
It’s about them not about you.

Would you date a guy your height or shorter though?

Speaking as a 5'9" guy, average and shorter guys get penalized or outright rejected for their height pretty often.

So yeah, I tend not to bother romantically with women who are within a couple inches of my height. Not because I think there's anything wrong with them, but because years of experience has showed me that I'd be wasting my time.

5'9 means 6'0 + is fine. There are plenty of those guys out there. I'm only 5'7.5 and my gf is 5'5. Although I wear Air Max or Ralph Lauren Tracksters so that makes me about 5'9 - 5'9.5 😂

6’ woman here. Your feelings are totally understandable, as society tends to have a narrow definition of what femininity is. It’s also not surprising that you would feel a certain way after being repeatedly told you’re an outlier.

Although this may be hard, I’d encourage you to look at beauty, attraction, and femininity more holistically. It’s not all about height (or even our appearances) at the end of the day, even though it may feel like it based on all the comments we get!

Heels are 2.5-3 inch height. My husband is 5’ 11” and my family were already saying we are the same height. 🤷🏻‍♀️ The male side on my family is 6’+.

Why is it so important to people that the male in a couple is taller than the female? This seems so superficial to me. It's hard enough finding someone you connect with and are compatible with. Writing someone off due to their height seems silly. But then again I've never been one to abide by traditional gender roles or social constructs.

like

Tall girls are the ones writing off guys even just two inches taller than them. If they want good dates they and the rest of society should start getting rid of the idea a girl must be shorter

Went through multi-day loop for L5 SA and felt confident in my interactions. Presentation went well with no lack of answers for follow up questions. Just found out 6 days later I will not be receiving an offer, and it is policy to not provide feedback of gaps or reasons behind no offer. Also found out they ask you not to reapply for 1 to 2 years for same role. Would anyone recommend an alternate path for feedback on interview (outside of recruiter) and is the 1-2 year policy true?

I was just informed after the third round of interviews they’d like at least 5 references, two must be supervisors. My last job was a temporary remote job where I didn’t really interact with my supervisor and the jobs before that were at my family’s business (I do not speak to any of them for serious personal reasons.) Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕
