Tall Girls as Giants and Amazons

The discussion of how tall girls feel about being called giants and amazons has come up on the blog.

What are your thoughts ladies?

I, personally, am desensitized to the many names people call tall girls; therefore I don't really have an opinion at this time.

BUT

When I was younger, I actually played into the words as a means of feeling accepted. I would say things such as, "I am a giant", just to ease the tension of the many comments and stares.

Can any of you relate to this?

Just how healthy was my approach to feel accepted?

Wearing High Heels

In a recent comment I reviewed, a blog vistor stated he liked to date tall girls who wear heels.

What are your thoughts tall girls?

Do you like to wear heels or is your preference sneakers (tennis shoes) and flats?

I, personally, enjoy various shoe types. Of course I can not wear heels while going for a run. So, I do have a couple of pairs of tennis shoes; however, I have many more heels than I do anything else.

I love high heel sandals. The inches vary from 2 to 4. Anything higher than 4 inches, I think I become accident prone...lol

The Gender Question - Is that a girl or a guy?

Why exactly do some people think that tall girls are men before they are identified as a girl or woman?

I have been told that this is the million dollar question!

But, with the forever changing world, I can understand the thought being considered but why not take a tall girl for face value?

Why does she possibly have to be a female impersonator just because she is tall?

This dynamic continues to amuse me because thoughts of the sort can really put a damper on an attempt to court a tall girl.

I have become so bold to ask if the person thought that I was initially a man pretending to be woman. Crazy huh?

Nope! It actually opens up the conversation, getting the discussion about height out of the way.

I am one of those keep it forward-thinking people...lol.. when thinking of a man to date, I don't want to spend a great deal of time talking about being a woman and how I got to be so tall.

Especially since no one is asking the average height women, how did they get so average. Does this make any sense?

Do you think tall girls intimidate men/boys?

Based on some of my experiences, I can say that some men are intimidated by my height.

For example, in going out with friends, I have noticed men pacing the room to build the confidence to approach me.

I know it seems arrognant to say this but I really believe it. I believe that some men never really build the confidence to approach tall girls; therefore, they never get to experience the many other things we offer, as women.

That said, maybe it is not confidence that holds the men back. Maybe, they question the born gender of the tall girl. There are some cases where there are tall girls that were not born female.

But, that is not the question at hand.

I want to know do you (tall girl) think that your height intimidates men/boys?

FYI: De-Fen Yao is the Tallest Woman in the World

Height is a gift but sometimes it is the result of some other condition.

This is why it is important that you discuss with your doctor any experienced pains (if any).

De-Fen, the tallest woman in the world at 7 foot 9 inches, has Acromegaly – a disease resulting from a tumour on the pituitary gland causing it to pump out excess growth hormone.

Doctors specializing in Acromegaly have offered to help De-Fen by raising money for her recovery and future.

*This post is dedicated to De-Fen specifically; however, you can expect future posts in reference to health and tall girls.

Do you date or like shorter guys?

Ok ladies

I was chatting with some pals online and the topic of tall women dating shorter men came up.

I am one that dates a man of any height; however, the guys that were a part of the discussion said that tall women won't even look their way.

Specifically, my pal Paul said "tall women are stuck up and limit their opportunities to have fun because of their height criterias placed on men".

What are your thoughts tall girls?

Does Paul know what he is talking about or is he just a bitter man??

Share your stories, ladies.

How have friendships helped you cope with being a tall girl?

I did not have many friends until reaching college so my struggle with height was internal for many years.

My mother did her best in trying to extend friendship to me but it simply was not the same as having a friend that was a peer.

Do any of you tall girls have a story to share in reference to how a friend has helped you deal or cope with your height?

I would love to read about it.

Fans of Tall Girls

In thinking about the tall girl experience and reading Jheri's comment about the importance of friendships, I thought I would create a post for those who were fans of tall girls.

There is a place for you in the scheme of things.

Why?

Because, there are some cases where tall girls get their support from those that are not tall or those that see more than height. They see, a bright, witty, and approachable person.

My bestfriend is a 5'10" male and he loves my height. Not only does he loves my height, he thinks that I am funny and fun to be around. Many times when I was not feeling my best, it was my bestfriend that was there to lift my spirits. He is not a tall girl but I am sure he will have a mouthful to say about why he adore tall girls.

So, all of you tall girl fans, feel free to share with us your thoughts or reasons as to why you appreciate the tall girls' gift of height.

We appreciate you!

Tall Girls and Sports

Sarah, you made a comment asking if I played sports.

Yes! But, it was a means to an end. I wanted to go to college and the only way I was going to get there was to play sports (while making sure my grades were good).

I decided to play volleyball versus basketball. The contact required in basketball made me uncomfortable. In addition, I wanted to go against the grain and not play what everyone wanted me to play.

I was not sure which sport was going to take me to college so I did track, vball, and basketball.

Any other tall girl want to talk about their experience with sports?
