[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Definitely get her involved in a sport where her height is an advantage (Swim, volleyball, basketball, even lacrosse) and the confidence will come.  Never make her think she has to date only men taller than she is. You'd think this would go without saying, in a world where plenty of people are trans, there is the entire LQBTQ, but in straight life [b]there is still a tremendous stigma against a tall woman. [/b]Make sure she always wears high heels if the outfit calls for it and remembers that a good partner in life has nothing to do with height. [/quote]

Only on DCUM. I’m a 5’10” woman with a tall mother and sister and lots of tall friends and have seriously never experienced nor heard about any stigma outside of this place, where women are hell bent on tearing each other apart. If anything, short women have told me repeatedly throughout life how much they wished they were tall. [/quote]

I'm the PP who said there is a stigma, I am also 5'10.  You don't think men want to date a woman shorter than they are? Or that women in general find it more socially acceptable to date a taller man? Sure, there is nothing bad about being tall except in dating, where you have about 10% of the dating pool to consider given social norms. I think the social norms are preposterous given where we are as a society but I think in heterosexual culture., it's still a thing.[/quote]

I can honestly say this was never an issue. Had no shortage of men interested in dating me when I was in my prime. Maybe I had subconsciously learned to avoid the type who wanted petite women to make them feel like big, dominant men.[/quote]
