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.

EY8 LFG!!!

Imagine being a 5'7" male

I'm a 5'3 female and I'm dating one!

5’7” guy. My last girlfriend was 5’11”. If it doesn’t bother her it doesn’t bother me. If it works for the Jonas brothers it works for me

Be happy that you're tall. When you get fat, it will be less noticeable. In US sizing, I'm 175lb and 5'3", size 8-12, and look huge. And all my clothes are too long. I'd love to have my clothes tailor made.

I'm 6ft4 my wife's 6ft. She doesn't wear heels much as she's a chef, but when she does it is strange. As I look down towards 95% of who I speak to so to then have the person I speak to most be at the same eye level or higher takes a slight adjustment.
As the expression goes, 'men lie and women wear make up' - if it matters get off the apps and approach taller guys - There's a lot of men over 6 ft, and if not enough and it's as important as you make out, move to Holland or Scandi - you'll be short there

Tall has it's following, you just have to play the field more is all

Im suprised you even date guys your hight or below. The vibe I get with most tall women is they wouldnt date men below 6ft. Maybe 5'11

The most unattractive thing about you is your insecurities.

Sounds statuesque to me. M 5’7” Wife 5’10”.

Being 5’9 doesn’t make you less feminine. It’s like saying a guy being 5’8 makes you less masculine. I would assume (because that’s all I can do) maybe there is something else going on. People can only be shocked if they don’t know, so again maybe you aren’t being forward about your height? Finally with regards to your colleague, they are your colleagues. They shouldn’t be defining you, unless this is something you want from them.

I'm 5'0 and I cry myself to sleep every night. Lol jk. But for real though. Wish I was taller.

As a 5’10” man, I will gladly date you. What’s the issue dating a tall woman? Perhaps I will confused with a man who dates models. Tough life.

Wow this bowl is dead...no one single in La?

28M (but look maybe 24), PA. Introvert, 5'9, eastern European/dark features. Love to talk philosophy but I can also be silly. Somewhat of a homebody but I do enjoy going out and exploring if I'm in company of friends. If I'm alone I'd rather be home and watch a psychological drama/thriller. LF someone who enjoys a balance of going out and lounging at home.

Hi everyone! In your experience, what is the one tool / must-have / methodology any of your companies use to bring about a cohesive and comprehensive go-to-market strategy in the launch of new products and services? As a company scales, coordinating cross-functionally and across time zones is becoming increasingly challenging so we have identified that we need frameworks or tools to help us go-to-market in a less clumsy, more coordinated fashion. Would love to get your ideas on this.
