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.
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. 🙂
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
