I'm 5 foot 11 and I've always been super paranoid about my height, but this Tumblr has made me smile so much!! Just reading through the posts and seeing how many other tall girls there are has made me feel a lot more confident about my height (: Thankyou!
:) This is so good! Thank you, and I’m so glad that you’re embracing the height! <3
you guys, I'm 21 (on Monday) and I'm 6'3 (actually 6'4, but shhh!). I love being tall. yes, it's taken me years to get to this point. yes, I still get annoyed when guys say I'm "too tall". but trust me, there are guys out there for you. some guys don't mind taller girls and it's probably the best feeling, ever. keep them close!
basically, all I wanted to say was,
IT GETS BETTER <3
<3
Thanks I was just wondering since I became vegetarian in the early months of last year
to the anon. meat has nothing to do with it. i've been a veggetarian for nearly 3 years now. and i've grown more during that time then when i was a meat eater
There you have it~
I'm 15 and i'm 5'7, will I grow more or will I be stuck like this forever ?cause I think 5'7 is pretty average and I want to be taller. Do you think not eating meat is stopping me from growing? Is being 5'7 at my age considered tall ? :3
First, you might grow more since you’re only 15. Not guaranteed but that’s the case. Second, I don’t know about the not eating meat part honestly. I’ve been told carbohydrates help growth but it never concerned me about what I ate because my parents are considered tall and that alone guarantees heights taller than average.
If you’ve ever been told you were tall…and still do till this day then that should confirm it. You’re taller than the average adult woman…I don’t think you really need me to confirm that though haha
I am 18 years old and 6'4". Do you think I will keep growing or am I about done? lol
They say 18 is the stopping point so it’s a good chance that you are pretty much done.
But everyone is different so I can’t guarantee that, and I’m not a licensed doctor…haha.
Thanks. I just hate that wherever I go I get "wow you're tall. Wow can we get a picture" and my personal pet peeve "what the weather like up there. It's funny for the first 25 minutes I'm out in the city after that I want to kill people lol
I mean, I know everyone here will understand, but because my family moved around a lot I was always the new kid and I was always tall. By the time I was 16 I was 6ft8. Every since the popularity of Harry Potter I get geniuses seeing tall bloke, with a beard and going Hagrid! When its a kid I don't mind I play along but when they're people in an office I'm doing work in it gets tiresome. There are times I really wish I was like 6 inches shorter. Anyone wanna trade?
I ONLY like tall guys, Plus the other stuff but tallness is a must for me!
I am a little shrimp compared to them and i absolutely love it.
Those hugs tall people give... n__n
They are like gold. lol
Please send them all my way. lol XD
Well, that’s what you prefer and I can’t fault you for that hahaha.
I will say this—YOU CAN’T HAVE ALL THE TALL GUYS. YOU MUST SHARE.
Wow.. after checking those averages I feel like a freak... I'm 7ft... :(
Do NOT feel like a freak.
Society has made us feel that way without our consent; feeling like one here on the tall-ppl-problems blog is a no-no because you are tall, I am tall, we are all tall. And so far you are the tallest that has answered so you wear the crown until someone like Shaq pops up.
And that is it. So…without further ado…
I'm 6' and i'm asian, so all the people around me are quite short. Girls are at least a head shorter! Its so hard a find a girl around my height. but when i do, its enchanting!

Ive always seem to be the 'tall'/'lanky'girl all my life.
Im 13, and im 5'11.
I've been the tallest girl in my year for about 7 years now.
I am also skinny aswell though I eat loads:L
I was always charged adult price on the bus, because they never belived my age.
(even if im waering my school uniform)
In year 2 ( 1st grade) I couldnt go in jungle gyms and climbing frames because i was too tall for it so i had to sit with the teachers all break time.
If i ever asked a boy out they would say so because im too tall.
I get called tall almost everyday of my life.
Also i weigh almost ten stone, even though im a size 8 (in tops:L)
Though there are advantages
In year 4 ( 3rd grade) When i went to wales on a school trip,Some boy had a sticky alien toy, and it got stuck on the ceiling and i went over and got it, then everyone was saying I'm a Hero:)
That's All
lol
Ps: I love your blog :)<3
I just…this was…
C’mere hun.
We have all been there.
And I really am glad that you love this blog. Keep strong girl.
In response to the last ask. If I get asked to hand them something from on high I ask them to hand me something from down low... and we trade services... both parties are happy

- Do you consider so-and-so tall? How tall is tall? What is considered tall for a man or woman?

I'm honestly not that tall, I'm 5'9" but my issue is that I'm Asian... And apparently, to be a "real" Asian, I am supposed to be short.. WHERE DO I BELONG? T______T
HERE. WITH ALL THE OTHER TALL PEOPLE. COME HITHER.
'At the supermarket short people always point at high shelves and ask tall people, "Can you get that for me?', but do tall people point down at the low shelves and ask short people "Can you get that for me?!"
In their defense, they can’t reach high enough and need all the help they can get. I’m sure short people would rather get the things from a higher shelf without our help.
Though at the same time it’s a chore for us to kneel to ground level to get something from a low shelf; It’s doable but we don’t like doing it at all.
I know I don’t. Every time I have to bend down to get something that means I have to get back up. So I try to bend quickly so that my body doesn’t try to adjust to the new position for if it did then once I stand back up I get lightheaded due to the blood flow not circulating fast enough to get back to my head due to my height. Plus my knees always pop/crack once I stand back up. I found a way for that not to happen but still.
Try to understand shorter people, don’t get offended if we ask you to help us out too. We’re closer to the sky, and you’re closer to the ground. Let’s help each other out haha.
im 4'9, do i win? ;D
So far, yes. lol
I love how all the tall girls are 6ft or below~ don't worry ladies I'm 6ft 2 ;D

I am in love w/yur blog! I'm only 5'7 but I swear all the guys in WI are extra short! Plus Im super attracted to asians, which doesnt help..
Hahaha, asians are cute but hey, don’t let the height stop you just so long as you’re confident.
*sighs* I hate going places with my aunt and my cousin because I'm a good 6 inches taller than both of them. I also hate the fact that my aunt has nicknamed me "Stretch" -____- She says that I look like Dee-Dee from Dexter's Laboratory...
Dee Dee was magnificent! Especially her league of friends.
They were not only diverse but they were tall too?!
this is just something i've noticed, & i wonder if anyone else has ever had this problem. every time i read a magazine that gives "suggestions" for different body-types, they always suggest jeans for tall women with an inseam that's only 33-34 inches. for example, i was looking in glamour's latest issue & they feature a girl who's 6' but they suggest jeans with a 33' inseam. now, i'm 6'1" & maybe i just have insanely long legs, but there's no way those jeans would be long enough...i need a 36-37 inch inseam. just something i've noticed, wondering if anyone else has ever had that problem?
what is this Tall People Hook Up Blog ‘11?

I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the tall-ppl-problems’ followers went about following one another because they were interested and this is a community where we come together to discuss our problems, advantages, social challenges, etc. :)
It was meant to be innocent and taken with humor, haha.
i don't find that it is that huge of a problem a guy being a bit shorter than you or the same height, my current boy friend is around my height maybe a little shorter, but if you really enjoy that persons company so much it doesn't matter at all about their height. we do have a bit of a laugh when i wear heels, being a little bit taller than your boyfriend cant restrict your shoe wear! its all in good fun :)
I truly believe in soul mates! There is someone out there for everyone! And that someone was designed for you by God. So if you follow the right path, pray for them, and be patient, you will find one another. What you wish, the right one is that. So make a list, follow God's plan, and pray! He/she is out there. I never thought in a million years I'd meet mine, but I did, and he fit the bill to a T. Holla at my God. And btw he is taller than me and that's just one of the small details I was after. Thanks for the blog, awesome, love it!
I am a 6'2 woman. All my bfs have been shorter. One at 5'6, one at 5'10. I strongly agree that being taller is super awkward, BUT only if you let it get to you. You need to have the confidence. Yeah, us tall ladies want to have that stereotypical taller guy and feel 'feminine', but do we need it? Do we need to shape ourselves around society's skewed views? NO.
You love who you love, no matter the shape or size. We are all beautiful, and the right guy will see this and accept us for the awesome people we are. <3
Honestly, I'm a 5'11 bisexual girl, and my personal preference is shorter girls and taller guys. When it comes down to it, I've dated 2 guys who were shorter than me in the past and it didn't really matter, it was a little awkward but it wasn't a big deal.c:
I'm 5'9" and for guys I like if they are taller than me (then they can be thinner lol). But if they are shorter than me, they can't be thinner. Otherwise I feel like a total giant. I don't think I'm fat, but I'm proportional to my height.
Those are interesting preferences but I see where you’re coming from with them.
I don't want to generalize about the real world, but I haven't really seen many tall female romantic interests in the media. Usually in movie or tv shows, the cute-and-petite are the love interests and the "glamazons" are there to make the adorable-tiny female lead feel insecure for a while, either about her body or that her boyfriend might be sleeping with Lady Longlegs
Regarding the question just asked, how do you all feel?
This is kinda a question for the general public.. But do any other girls get sick of the stereotype guys like tall girls? I feel like almost every guy likes smaller girls..
Personally, I feel that that belief is true to an extent.
“I love a girl with long legs!”
On the flip side, I also hear and see, “I love a girl smaller than me for—” such and such reasons. So it’s almost balanced…to me anyway.
I have to say that I absolutely LOVE this blog. I can relate to so many things it's like you read my mind. I'm a 5'10-5'11 girl. I feel like an awkward giant here in my city. The average height here in like 5'6.
This blog has really helped me feel more confident about my height. Might as well embrace it right?
YES. Embrace le height!
And thanks, hun, for loving the blog! :)
To put my two cents into this taller/shorter relationships personally i like tall guys. I probably would even if i was short, I'm not incredibly tall only 5'8 (expected to reach 5'9 is when im done growing) but i've always been picked on about my height. I have grown to love it but at the same time i want someone to see me as a small petite girl. But the only way that will happen is if he's mega tall.
Hmmm~
…if you weren’t anon I would have done the:
Tall People Hook Up Blog ‘11
And suggested stalking following the guy who is the tallest that answered the “How tall are you?” post.
You know what’s interesting? Shorter people would sometimes want to be seen as tall and we sometimes want to be seen as short or petite.
It’s interesting.
I'm a 5'10" girl, and I'm bisexual. The height difference thing doesn't really matter much to me with guys - taller, shorter, same height, it's fine - but I get REALLY intimidated by girls who are taller than I am.
I dated one girl who was taller than I was, and I just couldn't feel comfortable around her. We're on good terms, and that's probably more my issue than anything to do with height, but that's how I am personally.
As I said in the reply to the post. I've been with men shorter then myself and it ended up being them with the issue. They seemed to want to be the one 'In control'. Not saying that this is a general thing for everyone but thats just what happened for me. My man, now, is only a handful of inches taller then I am but we work well together. At the end of the day you're going to be with who you work well with. If you make a good team and your partner is shorter then so be it. I get the wanting to feel little and cute compared to your male partner but at the same time I wouldn't allow that to compromise how I felt about someone. However, maybe thats because I am older and a lot more comfortable with who I am. Just my two cents
I had a girlfriend that was nearly the same height as me. It was really great because we wore the same pant-size. Before I grew, she was taller than I was. Now she's 5'11" and I'm 6'2", and even though it didn't work out, we're great friends and have some of the finest memories. There is absolutely nothing wrong with odd height differences. In fact, I think it keeps things funny, which is important.
My problem is having to get in a line that's arranged shortest to tallest, and never getting a chance to hit the pinata at a birthday party. Or watching the person in front of you break it.
This here post is for you then :)
So first off I am a 5'10 female. I am taller than my mother and older sister. So I always feel super tall around everyone. And it doesnt help that my best friend is literally 4'9.
So about this whole 'dating a shorter/taller person' I feel more comfortable if my significant other was taller than me so that way I wouldnt have to worry about my height and I could feel comfortable
I understand that you have a preference and the acceptance of others tends to help you feel comfortable with yourself but at the same time you, yourself, will have to embrace and accept your height to be fully comfortable with it.
A significant other, no matter how perfect, beautiful, and good they are to you or even if they tell you how beautiful, perfect and good you are to them, if you’re worried about your height and a bit uncomfortable with it, you’re the only person that can fix that…no one else.
Think of it as, “How can you love someone else if you don’t love yourself?” Same thing in my opinion.
sure, theres wanting that feeling like you're being protected, but also, i want to feel short, cute, little, small around a guy and i can't feel that way if i'm taller than my guy.
But what if he was short and built like this guy? *points down*
I’m kidding. I understand. It’s what you’re attracted to and it’s what you prefer.
