Tall girl here. I'm very leggy as well. However, dresses, skirts and pants look shorter on me.
I also get described as a "big" girl. That has given me a complex over the years. I'm 5'11" and weigh around 145lbs. So actually I'm on the skinnier side but it's hard to be called thar big girl without it affecting you.
I always wanted to be petite! Petite women have always been what I would consider ideal for society. That is my perspective. I may have a different experience than others but that has been my experience. 🙂
I've got those kinds of legs too. Everything is 2 inches too short.
I've always wanted to be taller! lmao I wanted to be a model when I was a kid, but due to a toxic, mean mother and reading up on how the shortest model at the time was 5'6, I convinced myself I'd never make it.
My bone structure is small for my height. I should be wearing petite sizing, but they don't fit because my bum is too big to fit in pants that fit my waist, my legs are too long, and I don't have enough boobs. lmfao
Lol. I feel you. I am thin as well so nothing fits!! Uugghh.
Plus a lot of stores start talls in sizes 12 or 14. Does nothing for me!! I wish I had a bigger butt. Lol
I have always been told I should be a model but due to being shy and a lack of self-confidence I never pursued it. I guess the upside is I eat whatever I want and may vary weight wise 5 pounds or less. I feel fat but I guess I'm not. Every time I lose any weight, random people chastise me. I find it odd. Lol
In my head I've thought of some women as "big" and some as "petite", and they have almost always been attractive to me. I know that you dont like the way it sounds, but one of the most beautiful women I've come across was 6'0, a big girl by my estimation, who completely owned the fact that she is taller than 99% of women.
The point that im trying to make is being called big vs petite can be done with good intention. You are obviously very lean (145lb at 5'11") so probably no-one meant "fat" when they said "big".
That said, after reading your comment i think I'll be very careful of calling a woman anything.
Thank you for your sensitivity. I don't care about people pointing out that I'm tall. I am used to it. Just getting called "big" makes me feel fat. Maybe it's just me. Lol
