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

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

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.
