[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]5' 11 or more! I know at my 24 I should be happy with who I am but, it frustrates me in many ways. When I go to work I'd love to wear straight skirts below he knee but I can't because I can't wear heels. I always wear pants because I can wear flat shoes and people don't notice it, sometimes someone says: I thought you were wearing heels:S

I love dresses, this is my big trauma and I can't wear them because I don't want to look like a giant or more giant and I don't think they look good with flats, much less at nights, or in elegant events. So I have to settle for something "formal" but it doesn't look good when everybody has a different dress code.

I like the way I look, I know I am pretty and I like being tall but not in these situations, especially when everybody is like 5' :S and the girls look so elegant with the heels and the dresses. I guess I can't do anything about it.

I am 5'11'' too and I could have written that post. I actually hate it when people who are 5'2'' or whateer say things like "I WISH i had your height." They have no idea what it is like. Everyone has issues and they shouldn't downplay your  feeling bad about something that bothers you. It is a legitimate concern.[b] Our society has a narrow definition of "beauty", and just as fat people are made to feel awkward and "off" so are taller women.[/b] The fact is, there are a lot of guys that do not like tall girls. I mean, with the obvious exceptions like Cameron Diaz, and Gisele Bundchen. I can remember all through high school and college  going to parties/bars etc and being the one weird tall girl that "stuck out", the guys always noticed the other girls in my group and were never interested in me. Now that I am older obviously I've gotten beyond most of these childhood scars but it still does lie underneath int my self image a bit. [/quote]

On every height post, at least one person refers to the short girls--anyone under 5' 4"--as smurfs or something equally insulting. Don't think it's all rainbows and sunshine being short.[/quote]
