Irksome Struggles That Tall Girls Will Totes Relate to ...

If you are over 5 ft 9 then you already know the struggle is real. Others may think tall girls have it made, but they just don’t get it. Sure, we can reach the top shelf and you don’t have to worry about someone’s head blocking your view at the movies, but the struggle goes much deeper than any of that.

Maxi Skirts

Maxi Skirts Ha! That’s a joke right? How many times have you gone to try on a maxi skirt with great hopes that it will truly be a maxi, only to have it come well above your ankles? Next!

Clothes in General

Clothes in General Jeans are too short. Even jeans made for tall girls can be too short. Dresses often look like shirts on tall girls. Long sleeves become three-quarter sleeves and most every shirt we wear requires a cami to keep our tummies covered. I am telling you the struggle is real!

Always Wearing Flats

Always Wearing Flats I mean, most of us feel we are tall enough already so we settle for flats most of the time. When we do get adventurous and put on a pair of heels we tower over everyone even more, including our 6 ft 2 boyfriends.

Taking Pictures

Taking Pictures Ugh! I can either stand up straight while everyone else in the picture comes to my shoulders or I can squat down awkwardly to look the same height as everyone else. Typically I go for the squat but there has to be a better option. Taller friends?

Hugs

Hugs Oh man, this is definitely awkward! Many times when hugging other people, they end up lost in my cleavage. Their heads just seem to come to the right spot. When it’s a good friend or family member it makes for a good laugh, but what about a stranger? It’s a disaster! Side hugs are weird too. How are my pits smelling today, thanks?

Do You Play Basketball?

Do You Play Basketball? Just because I am tall doesn’t mean I play basketball. Before you ask, I don’t play volleyball either. Sorry if you think I’ve wasted all this height, it just wasn’t my thing.

Are You a Model?

Are You a Model? Now this question is a little easier to handle. In most cases, models are tall. It’s nice to know someone thinks you have model qualities. I’ll take that as a compliment.

Short girls, we know you struggle too. We all feel awkward from time to time. Ill fitted clothing, strange personal interactions and odd questions can make anyone feel the struggle, but know that you are still an awesome person. You just needed a little more height to pack in the awesomeness.

I'm 5'6 and I do get annoyed wen people call me a giant or ask weird questions but cloth aren't a struggle for me anyways I love my body the way it is

This article definitely has my praise, lol. I am 6'1 and not being able to find a cute dress that looks modest is something I have related to this Summer. But I have learned to get around the clothing. Like in order to wear a cute dress and still make it look modest (e.g. the Skater dresses), I will wear a pair if leggings with it. And to be able to find a fashionable pair of jeans I don't mond if they hit at my ankles/calves anymore since the cropped jeans style is becoming pretty common.

I'm 14 and I'm 5'10. I love it. ♥️

Funny but true! I'm 5'10 and I wear 4 inch heals and love it! I don't care about towering over everyone😊

My best friend is 11 (so am I) and she is 179cm tall😳... I'm 153cm and my other bestie is 142😂👌🏼

Mind*

I do think it stinks though that tall women can't find as much when it comes to clothes, I guess even though being tall is lovely, it's not as common so therefore you can't just waltz in anywhere and find something.

Everyone has to deal with some sort of prejudice! No matter who you are, some butt hole isn't going to like how you look or speak. Or people just say stupid things, ie: my friend has one blue eye and one brown eye and many people say "I know a cat that looks just like you". She wants to smash people in the face when they say it but instead she's polite lol.

Oh please what rubbish this post is about clothes etc , I'm a tall Australian girl over six foot in heels , so all tall girls should be proud of who you are

It's so annoying when everybody comments on how tall you are or how they wish they were tall like me. If it weren't all the comments I get on my height, I actually wouldn't mind staying tall. All of these things happens but I think the most annoying ones are the ones where people ask, "You should be a model! Your so tall!". It makes me feel anxious because all the spotlight is on me.
