Cons:
>being scolded for "not behaving my age", thinking I'm a lot older than I actually was, while giving my same-aged friends a pass>getting asked if I'm a nurse at 8>being mistaken for a teacher in elementary school>being mistaken for being my Dad's wife at 10>old men making creepy comments thinking I'm 16-18>teacher telling my mother I'll never get a man when I was just a 5th grader>teacher thinking I repeated class, since I have to be older>unrealistically high expectations in sports>started developing an ED at 13 to feel smaller>not participating in prom dance since too tall for any boyIn conclusion: many of my childhood memories revolve around negative experiences because of my height.
Dating is a problem, since even though I'm living in a rather tall country I'm still a bit taller than the average guy, meaning my dating pool is small. And just because somebody happens to be my height or taller doesn't mean he also wants a tall gf. Short guys have often treated me like shit, e.g. "Why are you so tall?!" instead of "Hi, my name's…"
Pros:
Since a year ago or so I started liking my height. Like I mentioned before I suffered of an ED and have a generally low self esteem. Sometimes I feel so anxious and self conscious that I'm drenched in sweat while walking through the streets and in situations like that it helps me to tell myself that I'm at least physically "superior", that nobody of these short people could even hurt me, blah blah. Also, looking around and seeing tons of short girls makes me think that actually I wouldn't want to to look like that.
Same when I walk around alone at night, I never need to fear somebody just grabbing me.
After starving myself i gained a lot of weight back, but i guess my tall height helps me to not look completely out of shape.
Anyways, loosing weight is definitely one of my main goals (also because I always dreamed of being a model…)
Unforunatly i don't have gazelle legs like many other tall girls, mine aren't overly long and my calves are strangely bulky. Becaue of that getting long enough pants isn't that difficult, but shirts, dresses, jackets…
No. 81538
5'5" here, which I think is a good middle ground height for women in most places, however I recently moved to UK for uni and it's like I'm a giantess here, even good half of men are shorter than me. It would be fine if I had normal self esteem I guess but I don't.
It reminds me of elementary school when I was the first of my class to start developing and essentially looked the same as I do now from ages 9 onward while the rest of my classmates were puny prepubescent twigs for another 5-6 years. Which came with most of the cons
>>81537 listed.
That being said, I wouldn't like to be any shorter as short girls tend to have worse proportions and I am quite happy with mine.
No. 81543
>>81541Yes, because having the first comment out of someone's mouth be about your abnormal height is "treating us like people". Tall women get compared to giants/monsters/men/basketball players/amazons. Because being held to a much higher standard than kids your age or EVEN KIDS WHO ARE OLDER THAN YOU simply for being tall is so much better than being called "cute",right?
I'm sorry but I'd rather be referred to as "cute" or "adorable",at least those have positive connotations.

Height obviously is relative. There's almost a foot between me and my boyfriend. The outliers are usually those at the extreme ends of the scale, like someone 5'1 dating someone 6'6.

>>81541>idk why tall women seem to think short girls aren't sexualized as kids???I assume your anger was directed at my comment
>old men making creepy comments thinking I'm 16-18Obviously I agree that kids of all height sadly do happen to be sexualized, but if it happens to a short or normal looking kid this person is a pedo. What I meant was that men thought I'm so much older that it's okay to hit on me:
>Anon, you're cute, do you have a bf?>No, I'm too young for that…>Huh, why? How old are you?>I'm 10.>Oh shit, I'm so sorry, i really thought you're over 18!>>81545>tall since early childhood and i think people treated me as older and tougher than i was because of it. i think people didn't realize what a sensitive kid i was and expected me to just handle things maturely.> i always thought feeling dainty,feminine,and protected just wasn't my thing but no one has ever treated me that way until my bf so maybe I just missed out. I can relate to that, I always tried to act tougher than I actually was simply because I feel like this is what people expect me to be. I never really had any feminine hobbies, don't allow myself to act "weak" or find things cute, because i guess it would look really awkward if a girl as tall as me would e.g. act all scared while watching a horror movie or if there's a spider, etc.

You were just lucky, but many tall girls get bullied as children and/or teens. Just because it's suddenly seen as something desireable once you hit your 20s, doesn't mean you can magically shake off all these years of people telling you that and treating you like you're basically a freak of nature…

>being tall is only seen as something positive on a young, attractive and thin womenKek, yeah? And that’s same for being short or being average. Being young and attractive affect you far more than height. You can be attractive and tall or attractive and short, or plain and tall or plain and short. The thing that is going to matter is the first thing, not the second. Ugly short girls don’t have an easier life than ugly tall girls.

>>81685Yes it does. I’m 5’11 but my best friend is pretty short. She’s always mistaken from behind as a child, usually by older people. She even gets the child’s ticket sometimes to movies or events. If they don’t have a womanly body and they’re very short, why is it out of the realm of possibility for someone to think they could be 12? Unless they have classic age signs like grey hair or significant breasts or makeup, with a glance they could be mistaken.
Idk why you think someone would lie about that. It’s embarrassing and makes her feel unattractive and demeaned. It’s not a good thing to happen.

>>81695>>81697I know only one female who gets mistaken for a child. She's short, skinny and dresses like a boy. She does not use makeup.
People mistake her for a kid because she's so socially awkward, looks at the ground and avoids the gaze of others. She barely speaks. Her mannerisms scream an awkward 13 year old.
Unfortunately a lot of spergs that are short and skinny are convinced they are youthful, instead of realising they are radiating awkward teenage behavior. It's not somehow cute or youthful to act like a sperg.

I'm like… 5'9'', so not crazy tall, but above average.
I don't know how to feel about it.
I find a lot of people do equate my height to me being masculine by default, and I definitely don't like that. It's not everyone, of course, but it's enough that I've developed an insecurity about it.
I'm also not straight, so me being tall tends to make people assume I'm the "man" in the relationship when I'm with another woman. That's annoying.
I also have trouble feeling cute in general. I feel like cute is a term more reserved for petite women. I feel like if I want to be attractive, I have to put effort into looking mature and elegant, that sort of thing. It's not inherently bad, but it's just not really my style, especially because I'm still pretty young.
But I like having long legs. I tend to carry my weight okay. And it's not like I've got people constantly telling me I'm a man or whatever. So it's not all bad.

Imo taller girls tend to appear younger more often. If you're very tall and slim you can easily look rather lanky, like a teen who had a growth spurt, whereas shorter ladies really need to watch their weight, just a few pounds can make a huge difference and they therefore also look more "womanly".
Also, the younger generations are getting always taller (i feel like girls who're teens nowadays are already so much taller than my friends and i…), so short doesn't really equal young and tall =/= old.

I'm nearly 23 and still a kissless virgin. My friends tell me i'm pretty, older people compliment me as well and while i think that i'm not super attractive i'm sure that i'm certainly not that ugly either.
My main problem is simply that i'm taller than majority of guys. Some of them are shocked when i stand up or downright say it, meaning my height is what puts them off.
As a child was bullied by older boys and treated unfairly by adults. Even now people still think that comments or even jokes about how "weirdly" tall i am are okay. I've developed somewhat of a hunchback after years of trying to appear shorter(also starved myself, because "omg how can a girl weigh 130?!").
Whenever i sit next to a guy o feel self conscious since my hands are so massive (feet as well, but they're of course not as noticable). I'm naturally athletic so the boys in my class always asked whether i lift, since my shoulders and back are so wide.
When i was still a kid i always imagined just being able to peel of a thick layer of skin all over my body and magically be normal sized. I would give everything to be shorter and finally feel like a normal girl.
I wanr to wear cute stuff, look cute, and also allow myself to do cute things and not pretend to be strong, manly and fearless, because this is what everybody expects me to be.
I just want to feel loved and protected for once. My friends were still allowed to occasionally sit on their parents lap at 10, while i was already too big in kindergarten; truly makes you feel like a monster…

For example, this chick was like “Omg you’re so0o0o tall, you make me feel like a little kid. Anon, did you know I still fit in children’s clothes?” like, ok? I care why?
I literally can’t do anything about it because I live where there’s a bunch of Mexicans and majority are fat little gremlins. It just makes me kek, because I actually genuinely find tall girls more attractive and wish I was taller, but short girls always seem to think that everyone and their mom wants to look like them.
Idk, I just find long torsos and long legs so attractive. I love long necks too, I think it’s such a beautiful feature specially when complimented with prominent collar bones. Short girls don’t really have those features and if they do, their bodies are always proportioned weirdly. I just don’t find stubby little bodies attractive, specially when the hip to waist ratio is the same… they just look like mini fridges to me. The only time I find short girls attractive is they’re thin and have a pretty face.

I remember once I was going on a excursion with my friends in middle school and while we were queuing one of the security guards started separating us into different rows. I just followed his instructions and ended up being trapped inside a bus full of kids younger than me. I felt so miserable I started crying all the way and embarassing myself, they even had me switch to the bus I was supposed to go in first place. I'd say that's one of the cons of being short, looking younger than you are and ending up in situations like this. Also me and my friend didn't get to ride in one of these mexican hats (it had swings) since we were too short and just watched as our classmates had a blast.

She knew it was bad for her and she had doctors telling her to not do that but she was doing it without really noticing until someone told her.

I'm 5'11(180cm) while my gf is 5'3(160cm). Used to be more insecure about my height, especially as a child/teen mostly because I have been the tallest person in my class, kids would often think of you as shemale. I'm not too insecure anymore except telling myself I need to lose more weight to look petite (weight 67kg but wished I could drop to 60-63kg). +often wear 5cm heels not minding the height, good people are pretty tall there so I don't stand out.
Stopped wearing trousers for a long time since many many of them come as too short, in that case tights are more comfy to wear.

I have recently become okay with my height and am starting to enjoy it. When I was younger I definitely wanted to be tall, like 6' and think tall girls look super elegant. That isn't to say short girls can't, I just like the look of a tall girl. It also sucks having to eat fairly small amounts, even with exercise, since I have a pretty big appetite.

I'm 5' 1/4" and I hate it. I've always hated it, not even petite and slim. My proportions are ridiculous so I don't even get that 'mistaken for a child' thing. I would rather be petite and flat at my height because I always feel heavy and overweight, I have to be so careful with what I eat, how much I'm exercising, watch every pound because it goes right to my gut. Clothes look so awkward on me, I have to wear petite but then everything is tight on my hips and belly, and I love button up shirts but they look awkward on my chest unless they're huge. I can't wear shorts because my thighs are so chunky and my legs are so short they look bad no matter how much weight I lose, I look fat really easily. I've always wanted to be tall, tall girls look so elegant and regal, can pull off pretty much anything, and just look graceful to me. Nicole Kidman is my ideal for height, elegance, and beauty. I'd be happy with literally 2 more inches of height.
I can only think of a single pro, that my boyfriend is 6' and when we walk together or cuddle I fit into the crook of his arm really well.

I'm somewhere between 5'1 and 5'2 (154-157 cm). And in all honesty I'd do anything to be shorter, preferably under 5ft. I admit that I'm strange and insecure so keep scrolling if you want to argue…
I've had dysmorphia since I was a kid, because I was an early bloomer who shot up real quick and was always the tallest and most developed girl in my class until I was 12/13. I constantly got unwanted attention from older men, while simultaneously being patronized by boys and even girls my age. I got accused of being a bully when I wasn't, and my parents were paranoid I'd get pregnant young even though I was socially anxious and rarely left the house. I was told I was going to be a tall, curvy girl with big tits and a badonkadonk butt. Well lo and behold, by the time I stopped developing and to this day, I am a 5'1.5 A-cup with no hips wearing size small everything and my peers accuse me of having an ED.
Also I'm white and live in an area with many Asian and Latina women who are very short (under 5ft), so I seldom refer to myself as being short, much less do I ever brag about being a ~smol bean. My fiance is 5'8" and always reminds me how much he thinks I'm his cute little ~nugget, and I believe it until I see a 6'3 guy with a 4'10 GF in public and I'm just like LOL HONEY NO.
There's something really alluring about small women, and it probably stems from past insecurities and the recent loli ddlg waifu trend… I used to attract a lot of manlets or even just guys under 6ft, who were always obsessed with my height and really petite girls (like, REALLY petite). And I would never hear the end of it. My ex even left me for his friend who was a few inches shorter than me. Sometimes when he was mad at me he'd joke around and say "I should hook up with (X) then, she's probably tighter than you too." Like WTF??? On the other hand, my best female friend in high school who was 5'9" would never shut up about her height and would get outrageously jealous when I got attention from guys, even though she was very beautiul, intelligent girl and I really wasn't that small or special.
Anyways I'll shut up now because I really don't have it bad at all. BTW I have nothing against short guys or tall girls. That's just how human genetics are. It makes me sad though when tall girls and women are made fun of because they a very statuesque and regal, plus they look great in high fashion. Also what man wouldn't want their kids to inherit tall genes?

I'm 157cm and I barely fit in a A cup bra too, I don't want to be particularly taller or shorter than I am, but I know it's frustrating how people can perceive you because of your looks, which you can't change very easily at that.

>>86748My siblings and I are very tall, my mother is average height, same as her parents. My father is tall, his parents were very stort, but he had a tall grandfather - so genetics do play a big role.
Something really interesting I heard during a history class in Uni was, that Charlemagne was not only called the Great because he was powerful, but also mainly because he was just very tall. In fact nearly all kings back then were already very tall (even for nowadays standards, read 180cm/6ft+) - in stark conrast to the rest of the population. So lookwise there was a huge difference between noble people and commoners and the simple reason for that was of course that the rich were able to always afford to eat as much as they want. So food does play a role as well (and that's why all those trendy "my raw vegan baby!" moms aren't doing their kids any favors… Same as anorexia stunts your growth).

Regardless, I actually feel the opposite of you. I always wanted to be taller, since I enjoy feeling stronger/bigger than people around me. It could just be cope for me since I have a legitimate wide frame otherwise and had shorter/skinnier friends growing up, so I got used to it.
Luckily, there are many dateless turbomanlets out there waiting for me to literally scoop them up, so hopefully I can live out my dream of being an (artifically) big strong wife. I'm glad you found a big boy to make you feel cute.

Pros of being short : I'm considered cute, "feminine", can date short and tall men, can keep my teenage clothes…
Cons : Infantilized, not taken seriously, look like a child, "uwu ur so smoll, so fragile, I cud break u", always being picked on for being a midget, made fun of by my taller friends…
From time to time, I wish I was taller and slimmer, because you can easily look fat if you're slightly overweight, but overall, I feel good about my height. I'm quite chubby on the legs and the belly, but that doesn't stop me from wearing whatever clothes I like. I like to wear cute long skirts, oversized jackets, etc… It makes me look shorter and maybe chubbier, but who cares? I just like to wear what I like. People would say that some things don't look good on me, but as long as I feel cute in it, I don't see how it's a problem. Short or tall, just wear whatever you like and have fun!

Despite of course fantasizing about having a taller bf whom I could look up to and look small next to, who feels protective about me, realistically I also wouldn't really want to date a too tall man because we'd only end up looking like some tallass freak couple (and if we had a daughter she'd have an even harder time than me)

I’m 5’4”, average, but I work as a commercial model, and for my industry I am essentially a dwarf. A few observations about being a short girl in the modeling industry, and being a short girl in general. First of all the standard of attractiveness I am held to in terms of face, body, hair, teeth etc is infinitely higher than girls who are 5’10+. Also, in my opinion, even outside of modeling (this does depend on geographic area and ‘type’ you fit in to), the shorter you are the more conventionally attractive you need to be to be considered attractive, whereas taller girls get away with much more unusual features. Being shorter also makes me much more approachable (something I personally don’t like) and I feel a need to dress more conservatively and behave more standotffishly to be taken seriously. My agency keeps me around because I can book lingerie, swim, and some beauty. I also spend part of the year in a city whose market is almost 100% swim. While my height definitely plays a factor in the categories I fit into, my face and body type also play a role. Almost all of the short girls I work with solely book lingerie, swim, and beauty as well.
Finally, I think short poorly proportioned or heavier girls are considered a lot less attractive than taller girls who are slightly overweight or badly proportioned. E.g. my boyfriend and his friends refer to short girls with short legs as ‘smushes’, because they look look like they have been smushed down.
No. 141128
i’m 4‘8 and it’s shit. my family on both sides are short (father is around 5’5 and mother is 5’0, siblings are same height as my parents) so i basically just lost the genetic lottery and it’s never benefitted me. i know it’s become a thing for shorter girls to boast about how “tiny and smol uwu” they are but i truly don’t get the appeal. i would love to be at least average height if not taller, i envy super tall women a lot but i understand why it’s as frustrating (if not worse because of the stigma/assumptions around being tall as a woman) as being super short
also elaborating kind of on what
>>141088 said, being on the shorter side messes up your proportions a lot no matter what body type you have and it makes any kind of weight gain extremely obvious. i stick to cardio because toning/muscle gain on the torso area specifically doesn’t look the same as it does on most people, at least for me anyway. no one ever talks about that for some reason so i’m glad it was mentioned here because it’s depressing having to do nearly double the workout others do just to look an average weight. i think i was around 120 pounds at my heaviest weight on meds and i looked fat even thought that’s standard weight for most people, simply because my proportions are shorter and distribute weight differently
i don’t know if people want to be short because it’s got aesthetic value or it’s ddlg smol bby size kink uwu type shit but it annoys the fuck out of me. it’s embarrassing being treated like you’re not a grown ass woman and it’s not flattering, just patronising as fuck lol

>>141317I was ana as a teen and even skelly-me was much stronger than my heavier yet shorter classmates. On the one hand it makes me feel safer against men, on the other hand it also serves to make feel even more like a failure of a woman. Sometimes I wonder whether other girls only pretend to be weak (for example many acted as if me playfully slapping their upper arm genuinely hurt them and I'm by no means a brute), so that they could get guys to do stuff for them or to force me into carrying shit for them.
I guess due to my height I was just always treated as one of the boys and therefore my body was forced to develop stronger?

Nobody ever cared that my arms are much skinnier and less muscular than others, because they always only noticed my height. And then additionally all those other girls using their "I'm shorter, that's too heavy for me"-card… Even if I wanted I couldn't pretend to be weak, because I'm literally as tall as most men, nobody would buy that.

Being tall is mostly a good thing. Idk who managed to break you down, anon but taking into consideration you're tall you don't have actual big hands or feet. You have hands and feet in proportion to your tall body. It's not a dealbreaker for most people at all. Do you think most men or even people in general really think pr care much about your shoe size?
Nobody comments loudly and elaborates about someone being fat most of the time because it's not a positive. Being tall is a positive and stands out in a good way in most cases. As a tall woman if I see another girl taller than me I go "wow!" in a positive, amazed way honestly.
No. 141550
>>141549Maybe not the feet specifically but a lot of guys are turned off by girls being tall cause it’s seen as mannish and having larger hands cause they’re “man hands” or something.

It's just trying to have the upper hand at a perceived threat probably. Why else would some of them make a big deal about it? Studies show seeing someone taller has a psychological effect on how others perceive you. They typically will view you as superior if only slightly and mostly subconsciously. So these short women who act like this are just asserting their dominance somehow in whatever petty way they can. Women do be like that sometimes.
Some women with smaller hands have short sausage-fingers anyway which isn't a particularly good look honestly. Completely depends on personal anatomy and proportions more than small being good on women compared to big automatically being bad.
No. 141555
>>141554I just can't figure out what else the point would be? Seems the most logical explanation. Most people understand somewhat that beauty is diverse even if it has some rules. Sometimes it can be a positive to stand out which might be a cause for both good and bad reactions from people depending on the situation. As many average height people here have pointed out.
Also; the grass is greener on the other side effect. Shorter women might be perceived as more cute and traditionally feminine/sexy. Taller women hunch down their posture and can wonder what it's like to be cute and dainty. Taller women are often perceived as more elegant and striking (particularly in clothing). Could easily cause jealousy in some shorter women.
In short, socially being tall has the most advantages so it would be more likely to cause some insecure short women to act out.
No. 141569
>>141548>I’ve been told it’s because they’re jealous of me cause I’m ~just so pretty~This is so tiring, people always tell me that but it's such a cope, the same old "he only bullies you because he actually likes you!" lie. They're always making those remarks while comparing me with themselves, sometimes even comparing me with guys and I've even had a couple of scrotes giving me the "you must be a man/are you a man lmao" comment, like how is that them just being jealous? They're clearly very happy about not having my body, they're never putting themselves down, otherwise they'd use stuff like "I'm such a midget, my legs are so much stumpier than yours" instead of "I'm sooo petite, even a size xs is too big for me, everybody thinks I'm only a teen!" (with a big grin on their face).
I don't want to wk short men, since they've been often very cruel and passive aggressive to me as well, but I noticed that taller men do that comparison shit to them too, only the other way around, the one with the biggest everything is the "winner", the manliest, the most handsome.
>>141555>socially being tall has the most advantages so it would be more likely to cause some insecure short women to act out.People often use this argument but this is only the case for men. Until not that long ago parents of fast growing girls got treatment to stop their daughters from becoming too tall, being tall as a woman is only seen as positive if paired with being a uber skinny, having a perfect face and working in the fashion industry. No men in any kind of career field respects a woman more just because she happens to be tall. If anything, they perceive her as a threat to their manliness and superiority and as a result treat her even worse. Also, of course not all, but some women do play up the "small and helpless" damsel thing to get male coworkers to do stuff for them or to go easy on them.

>so if you're a woman you have more power if you are physically small, because you fit the standard.Even if being short really was objectively the standard of beauty for women, since when does fitting beauty standards garner respect? Men wanting to fuck you isn't a form of power.
You have a point that men might be intimidated or passive aggressive about it, but height affecting how seriously people take you is one of those subtle subconscious things. Men don't respect women most of the time regardless of height, but they might not automatically see you as physically weaker and lesser when you're not half their size and they're literally looking down on you. It's not even necessarily about men vs women, children are small, sick/unhealthy people are small, it's common sense that it might influence your perception subtly.

As stated before men really do not care about women's height when they're dating as much as women by far. There's tons of studies that show this. Most men would date an attractive woman taller than them in a heartbeat. Women of average height have the most advantage in the dating scene but tall women do not have a particularly hard time at all.

You have to own your height. I have two friends who're 5'11 and 6'1. They're attractive women who radiate self-confidence. Both have and have been in fulfilling relationships with men. The only one who's letting your height bother you and hold you back is you, literally. Grow some self-esteem.

>>141965I agree with this anon
Being tall is awesome. Who cares about being uwu smol and cute? If you're tall you can look like a goddess. Just don't get fat because that looks unfortunate and clunky. Thankfully it's easier to be slim when you're tall.
Models are 5'10+ and they're the most beautiful people in the world. I don't think anyone would go "ew no but she's too tall" unless they're an insecure man.

Tall women, I love you so fucking much. What I'd give to be one of you. Tall, powerful, strong. I like myself and the way I am too but damnit!!!!! I'd love to be tall. I'd love to intimidate loser short men like that. Your height alone filters the weaklings. You ladies are gorgeous and I love you, have a great fucking night. AND day. Have a great existence.
Fellow womanlettes, reflect. Do better. Buy the boots with the heels-stop letting men look down on you. Throw away the kitten heels, get at least the 3inchers and look him in his eyes. If you see fear, stop wasting your time and leave him already.

I'm the one who made this thread all those years ago. Back then I went through periods of feeling incredibly insecure because of my tall height and reading (what I believe to be) my old posts, I really did suffer a lot growing up "thanks" to my tall height.
Now I really love it. It makes me feel kind of superior? Looking down on everybody can be fun. Sometimes I even think it's my best trait. You can lose anything that's visually appealing but your height will stay. Maybe I never looked cute when I was young but after a certain age being tall will only make you look more youthful, I will never be a tiny weak grandma.
Still no luck with dating tho, moids will never not be weird about tall women, so I pretty much gave up on it. Tall moids often have ugly faces and love being uber manly next to extra short girls, and short moids get triggered by your existence.
Back then I never believed that I could ever stop caring and feeling traumatized by those mean words I had to endure as a young girl, but seeing this thread pop up made me realize that it's been a long time since I last felt really bad about it.

I'm 5'0"/153cm and I'm really happy with my height but I find that other people don't share my confidence and exclusively view it as a flaw, which is pretty dismaying. I get those weird negging comments about how I'm beautiful but wouldn't it be nice if I grew a bit more (I'm an adult, I can't…), or I'm beautiful so I "shouldn't worry" about my height, etc. even from women and they always act confused and taken aback when I express that no thanks, I'm totally happy with my height, as if I ought to be crippled with insecurity over it and it's wrong that I'm not. It's a really uncomfortable feeling because it's like, not only are they putting me down over this but they expect me to agree?
I do notice that people will point out when a woman is tall as a benign compliment, but not the other way around, unless it's specifically weirdos fetishizing it in the "smol baby" way. I feel like I'm the only woman who finds other short women more attractive too, women seem to always talk about the beauty of a tall or at least tallER woman.
This is more a general annoying moid story but my ex would whine about limitations of my size, like walking slower than him and not being able to reach stuff. He'd tell me that he wished I was taller while describing beautiful women as tall, and that really bothered me.
Buying clothes sucks but nowadays I usually wear Asian stuff, so I get to enjoy an advantage shopping there.
I wouldn't want to change my height but I just wish other people didn't always view it so negatively. It's something I really like about myself so it feels bad when nobody else sees it that way, you know?

I'm short (5'0/152cm). I've never really beeb insecure about it. Although I was painfully annoying and humblebragged about my height as a tween (sorry), I'm a lesbian and actually find it so annoying when moids do the whole "you're so short!" thing. It's so cringe. Also as another anon has mentioned, the only thing I don't like is the fact that weight gain is very visible, and also that I'll never have the super skinny body I dreamed of when I was younger. I've seen women my height who weigh less and we never have the same skinny long legged look models have even when we're underweight. It was nice to realize it was an unrealistic goal though since now I don't have to hate myself for not living up to it.

Of course it's true that your BMR/TDEE correspond with hunger, the energy requirements are relative. The issue is the practical reality of finding meals that fit your diet and keep you in a deficit. A tall man with muscle will have an incredibly flexible, forgiving diet compared to a short sedentary woman, and that really matters when high calorie foods are the norm. If a man and a woman go to a restaurant, chances are he can fit anything on the menu in his calorie budget and the woman will have a tiny selection of boring salads to pick from. If a man and a woman are offered food randomly, like someone brings cake to work or whatever, the man can work it into his diet easily and the woman will have to skip dinner. Low calorie diets are difficult to sustain not just because of the hunger levels, but because any tiny misstep with food choices can ruin your deficit easily. It's 'fair' biologically but feels completely unfair when you're just living your life trying to find something to eat.

I wish at least 5'8", with the length mostly in my legs. I love the idea of being tall and thin. Imagine having a higher BMR just for being taller than average. And clothes always look good on you. I'm a pear shaped woman at 5'3", and I feel stout in everything I dress in. Unless I get don to 17 BMI, I feel I will always look like I just gave birth for several kids.
However I'm not very satisfied with the results of modern limb lengthening. Looks gross and super expensive. It's just not in the cards for me.

>>369370I only ever hear the "highlighting short stature = bragging about being pedobait" idea on imageboards and on some subreddits, never heard anyone accuse that sort of thing in mainstream circles. Generally people think looking like a child is a very negative thing and don't consider it something that anyone would boast about, they aren't aware of the subcultures where it's thought of as desirable.
It does bother me though, sometimes it feels like people are constantly relating shortness with childishness (either as a negative trait, or a deviant's positive trait) and act as though women need to be a certain height to qualify as whole adults.

anyone go from being above average height to short because of moving? i was above average (slightly) at 168cm where i'm from but then i moved to south eastern europe for a while and i was short there. i had a couple issues due to height such as official buildings and homes being built for people much taller than me, it felt awkward to be at a counter and it was meeting at my collarbone while other women could easily see over it. i noticed as well that the men have these complexes because they are very tall and would treat me differently because of it. it felt like they did not see me as a desirable woman, or even a mature woman, they infantilized me, which really did not help with my confidence when i was trying to make new friends from no connections. there was only one time when a man ever approached me, a man i had already seen at a cafe i was going to. i was still getting acquainted in the city so he offered to take me around in public, sort of as a tour guide and then we agreed to share dinner. it was romantic until he started complimenting me, almost firing off all the compliments he could think of and then told me "you have an amazing body, if only you were taller." i immediately wanted to leave while he kept rambling about what his perfect woman would look like. i got up and started walking away, pathetic, i know, but it was almost the verbal confirmation i needed to know why people treated me differently. the whole night i was thinking to myself how much easier life would have been here if i was taller, but i can't change that. now that i have left i still think this way. i should have stopped by now but my experiences messed with me.

>>369697same as you. When I had a bf one of his friends refused to speak to me because (in his words) he felt weird feeling like he was talking to a little girl, and people regularly joked or actually believed that my bf was a predator creeping on a high schooler.
Even my own boyfriend would sometimes pull back, wince, and make a remark about how small or young I looked, in a restrained but clearly negative tone. He brought up my hand size multiple times because they made him "feel like [he's] being touched by a child." We met online before meeting irl so I think it was a bit surprising at first.
I've never really had any guys irl hit on me but I do notice a lot of people talk to me in a way that suggests that they think they're talking to someone younger, like suddenly refraining from swearing. Unpopular opinion but I kinda don't really care and honestly prefer if men don't see me as a viable sexual option and feel pressure to be more well-behaved around me.

>>369696>>369719>>369723I'm taller than you while still being shorter than average but also go through all of this shit. Except now men don't bother me anymore thank god. In hindsight I'm 100% sure looking way younger than my peers is one of the biggest reasons why I just couldn't get a job until I got my first job which was so shit that the turnover rate was the only reason why I got hired in the first place. Now I have a normal office job that kind of sucks after being discriminated against when jobhunting for some time and it's all because of the lockdowns and curfews being lifted in my country back then and the economy getting way better all of a sudden.
Just yesterday I went to the restaurant with my parents because it's a famous one and they never went there so I paid for everything and the waitress who was around my age talked to me like I was some cutesy well behaved teenage daughter and not nearly 30 years old who's paying for three people. I get disrespected on a daily basis as soon as I go outside and it's either because people think I'm a teenager or because people are getting even more racist than usual, sometimes it's hard to tell. I've never dated anyone as a result, I'm too worried about attracting creepy men.
The worst part is that I deal with this despite my growth hormone treatment working when I was younger. I could have ended up being 1.20m tall otherwise and would have been even more unemployable.
>a lot of people talk to me in a way that suggests that they think they're talking to someone younger, like suddenly refraining from swearingUsually in my case it's more that people talk to me like I'm legit retarded or don't know basic facts about life. Once people get more context and guess or learn my age they become so awkward because they're worried about offending me… while deliberately being insulting and passive aggressive. I wouldn't even think about being rude like this to kids or teenagers so I don't get it at all. I have an older female coworker who's always talking about how cute and nice I am like she's my teacher in kindergarten or some shit too.

I'm 151 cm, 42.6 kgs, but was blessed with long legs and arms and wide shoulders, reverse triangle body type basically. And an adult looking face. So much so that I get mistaken for a lecturer in my university, when I'm a student, and 21 yo. It's probably because I dress formally but it's still funny that it happens. My biggest problem with my height is not reaching shelves, not seeing the stove and pots properly when I'm cooking having a kinda short torso and no waistline, though I think that's because of my body type in general rather than height, not finding clothes my height, but it's wide enough. It's always too long. And if I want to wear something short I'll just look goofy, so I go for short dresses for taller women with a medium size, and it's long enough on me kek. The only pro of it is I don't bump my head when I exit a car or a micro bus.

I'm 5'0" (~152cm) and I hate it. I remember the humiliation I felt in middle and high school when we lined up for photos and I'd always be something like third last in line. I distinctly remember a round white-haired man helping out who walked by trying to say nice things for us and that it's good that we're short because we're "fun-sized" or our personalities are more compacted or some cope like that. I was 12 and I wanted to kill him. I'm about twice that age now but hardly any taller. I noticed how my coworkers of average American height would literally talk over me sometimes. I can't be taken seriously standing up. I can never be physically threatening to anyone. And lastly I don't know how to present myself as a fuckable homosexual. Lesbians don't want women who are dwarfed by some middle schoolers, only disgusting scrotes with pedophilic tendencies do. I remember in one of my college courses there was this art girl with the same phenotype as me with a fade haircut and dressed in flannel and big pants, and she looked like a teen boy. I mean good for her for doing what she wants but it tears me apart that I can never look like the tall handsome butches I admire and I'll always be literally looked down in life.

I'm 5'9 and chubby, so I don't have that skinny model look. To me the worst part of being tall is that you never feel dainty or cute and if that's your preference then it's just over for you. The guy I like is 5'11 and it honestly feels like we are the same height.

I'm 1,58m / roughly 5'2. The average in my country is 5'2 so I don't consider myself particularly small, just normal. I always wanted to be taller tbh, there's nothing striking about my height and is boring, I'm quite skinny with long proportions so I look "visually" taller on heels and I like it, i wish I was naturally taller or as tall as Meghan thee stallion (1,78m) my life would be 100x better. Men over 5'11ft look very intimidating to me, but tall women don't scare me the same way
>>379389>Under every photo of tall guy and short girl there are at least 10 comments from insecure tall women calling him a pedophile and that he is basically dating a child
I never understood this argument. Short women look like women not kids, we have developed female features and some of us cannot even fit into teen clothing even though we got similar heights because of this fact. Plus, the average height for women worldwide is 5'4, why would a 6'0 man be considered a pedo for dating an
average woman?

I don't feel my age while being a womanlet. I'm 5'0 and in my early 20s. I talk to women my age and they have nice long fingers and their bodies are much more proportionate than mine as well as appearing striking in professional outfits. Because of short vocal chords my voice sounds screechy and annoying, and I don't ever sound like I'm talking in a serious manner. I would love to just appear fully matured and with how timid I am it's 100% worse. Moids think it's an open invitation just because I'm shy and short I'm easy; so, when I say "no" they assume it's me being playfully catty. I'm buying a pair of 3 inch heals to hopefully supplement and look more professional. I don't want to be in a competition with other women and they 9/10 times treat me with the respect I deserve and I appreciate that so much. Also, these "studies" for no purpose other than maybe putting tall and short women against each other are really stupid same thing with the rich men prefer small boobs, "study" There's no need to put that much time in caring what crusty scrotes who are too lazy to shave their pube neckbeard think.

>>381235God this woah is me drivel is ridiculous. What the fuck is up with insecure tall women thinking short women have zero problems in life and get hit on by handsome tall men wherever we go?
The reality is that many of the men who hit on short women are creeps who mistake you for being a teenager because of your height and then have the audacity to be disappointed when they find out you're grown, and thugs looking for a
victim who assume short women are easier to overpower.
And on the other hand, there are also men who are turned off by short women because even though you're fully mature, shortness is associated with children and your height creeps them out.
And the point you made about clothing isn't fully expanded on. Hemming trousers sucks, but you know what sucks worse? Being short and thin and having to shop in the kid's section because the amount of fridge shaped and sized women around these days means the women's section is vanity sized to hell.
Speaking of kids, everyone treats you like a kid even though you're fully grown because of your size and talks to you like you're their friend's teenage daughter.
And you know what else is difficult about being short? Maintaining your weight. Your BMR as a short person is way lower than a tall person's so you have to be careful with what you eat and how much you exercise, because if you gain even a couple of kgs you're going to go from looking normal to dumpy, whereas the same amount of weight gain wouldn't even be noticeable on a taller person.
Even just getting a jar of jam or something from the supermarket is harder if you're short because shit on the highest shelves are literally out of reach, you have to wait until someone taller is passing by and ask them to get it for you. And if you're at home and need something from a cupboard, be prepared to climb on top of the counters and possibly risk injury if you fall.
And no I'm not saying tall women are Amazonians with no problems or that short women are oppressed for being short, I'm just saying two can play at this self pitying bullshit.
So many tall women are married, engaged, going on dates, getting hit on, and are perceived as beautiful and feminine. Men are attracted to women of every size, even morbidly obese hamplanets have men attracted to them. If you're not getting flirted with it's because of your miserable attitude and defeatist mindset, not your height.
