You should embrace your tallness. It is beautiful and such a wonderful feeling putting on heels and walking the “room”. I love it!!
P.S. I’m 6″ flat, 6.4 with heels.
Oh I love being tall, but I think it’s important to talk about all aspects of height. Usually I focus on the positive stuff. Can’t be sunshine and ponies all the time. I wear heels most of the time too. Rock it sister!!!
I missed your original post and find myself nodding. You write well. Let me encourage you to do more!
I’m 27 and 6’3. A few years ago I started to learn how to rock what I have. I can’t say I love shopping for clothing, but I have learned how to find my own style. Having to have everything altered and learning how to be a bit creative has many people, usually women, commenting on my outfit before my height.
So agree on being around other tall people. For awhile I went to some tall clubs, but I would rather rock my height in the regular world and not worry about competing on something I have no control over. I also don’t really think about being tall all of the time and like to talk about other things.
The best part is the awesome responses from little kids. I like to climb trees. I’m very thin and have long hair. A little girl tugged at her mum’s dress and say “look mum! an elf!” The nicest thing anyone said about me that year.
Like you say – the good, the bad and the ugly. But I’m so happy I’m this different now. The Internet has made some of the logistics in finding clothing so much easier (except for finding pretty shoes, but even that is changing).
I look at friends my age who are a foot shorter. I used to envy them, but now I see them doing crazy things to get attention. I’ll never have a problem with that. I’d rather worry about turning it down than trying to find it.
And for sports. I only run and cycle and not competitively, but when someone asks if I have a sport I give them a straight look and say “math”. That shuts them up and it is one of my double majors.
Totally agree! It’s nice not having to figure out how to be different. We stand out no matter what. Thanks for reading and I’ll try to write more…must. make. more. time!!!
Jheri, not all the talk at tall clubs is tall related or complaining about problems of being tall, at least not in our club. Most of us embrace it and love it. One of the things I love is not having to hunch over (not in shame) to hear people when in a group of shorter people. So the tall club has been a wonderful option among the several social options I participate in. So I applaud you for not being afraid to rock your height and “need” a tall club. Most of us in the club don’t “need” it either but sure have some great times!
Hi, Holli! Did you make it to the Milwaukee weekend? We miss you. Hoping you’ll be able to make it to Portlandia Weekend this summer!
