[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 5'10. I know I am not the tallest person in the world, but I am still taller than 99 percent of women. Being tall always made me feel massive during my teens and early/mid  20s unless I kept my BMI at 18 with a 25 inch waist. It feels like society only accepts tall women if we look like models. If we don't, people just see us as huge amazonian linebackers. I finally accepted my size now that I am in my 30s, but if I am being completely honest, a part of me is still bitter. I know I will never be small no matter how hard I try.
Most people focus on weight, but I really think height is what defines if a woman is big or small. Tall, skinny women might look statuesque, but we can never be dainty or delicate. A lot of cute romantic gestures just aren't an option because of my size.[b] A guy is never going to easily carry me, and sitting on a guy's lap makes me feel like an overgrown dog[/b]. It is just way less cute. Short women still look delicate to me even if they are overweight because of their height and their smaller hands and feet. I recently discovered Kibbe and realized I am a Dramatic. I will be a big woman no matter my weight.

I have never sat on a guy's lap* or been carried - I'm a grown woman at 5'2", and that would.be patronizing/condescending.
