That's so sweet! When he ran away and she looked sad that really got to me. I love the ending :)

I used to work with a tall lady (she was a few inches taller than me) from what she told me, this is actually a pretty common occurrence for tall girls. Apparently her dating pool was massively limited due to her height. I don't understand how because she's very beautiful and great to talk to.

Thinking about it, one of the reasons she latched onto me was probably because I never mentioned her height, I didn't even notice it until someone else brought it up.

I never really understood these complaints, because my brain doesn't calculate height as part of the "is she attractive" equation. Either she's hot or she's not, and whether she's 4'8" or 6'5" doesn't actually figure into that one way or the other, in my head.

If anything, tall girls have an advantage in that they have more leg to show off than shorter girls do lol.

Shorter woman here, I'm mostly legs.

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

Can we trade??

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

Don't worry, nobody wants to date that girl that eats a triscuit and says she's full so she doesn't have to hork up her breakfast before a show :p

u/whateveryouthink1440 Aug 14 '21

Lol!! I will eat. I'm not scared. I know what you mean though. It's funny!

u/Aevio11 Aug 14 '21

I cook regularly. I think I'd be annoyed if the person I'm dating couldn't/wouldn't enjoy my food. That's some serious sadness.

My wife's your size and got/gets called that.

It's part of why she likes me. I'm 6'5" and she said it was the first time she felt petite

u/whateveryouthink1440 Aug 14 '21

Lol. I get that!! Nobody gets that unless you are taller than most!! Thanks for sharing!

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.

u/whateveryouthink1440 Aug 14 '21

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

u/Aevio11 Aug 14 '21

Lol just meant as an absolute length, rather than as a percentage. You could be 50% leg and still have shorter legs than a girl who's over 6' 😛

Though your post did remind me of this lol.
