[quote=Anonymous]OP I can understand where you are coming from.  Though I do not have height issues, I think all women are familiar with the feeling of something physical they hate about themselves.  For most of us it's not as obvious as towering height and we can hide it or put makeup on or cosmetic surgery, etc.  I get that for you, it's something obvious and permanent.

My only thought is that as I have gotten older, i've realized that so much of attractiveness lies in confidence.  I have seen women with physical characteristics I have loathed in myself in my teens (and worse than mine), but they carry it with so much confidence that it can sometimes actually turn that characteristic into a positive.  Most related to your concern, I've known two very tall women in my life (I would say 6'2 or 6'3).  They both carried themselves with so much confidence and comfort that it was attractive or at least a non issue.  I never thought they looked awkward or out of place, though of course the height difference was there and very noticeable if I stood next to them.  I have also met shorter tall women who are clearly uncomfortable with their height, is hunched over, and they look way more awkward than the taller ones with confidence.  I guess what i'm trying to say here is, you are not helpless here and can change how others perceive you.  Fake it until you make it!  Best of luck to you. [/quote]
