5 Things You Know If You're A 'Tall Girl'
Wikia

There are so many people on this earth and everyone is different, but one thing that can be a little more even in height.

Most girls are usually not taller and then those of us that are it becomes a whole other world. From dating to clothing being tall can have its advantages and disadvantages and sometimes neither one is very helpful. But if you are a tall girl these things are probably things that you have dealt with before and speaking from experience I have.

1. Trying to find someone taller than you can be a struggle

This is seriously so hard, but when you find that handful of people who are taller than you, you want them to be your friends forever. This is especially hard when you are trying to get into a relationship because it can be harder to date someone shorter than you. Especially if you want to wear heels. But when you have that time where you finally find someone taller than you, it is like the heavens have opened up and all is well in the world.

2. Wearing heels is almost impossible

There are always those moments where you have that one pair of heels you are just dying to wear, but when most of your friends are shorter than you this is pretty much impossible. Since you are already tall, you don't want to tower over everyone more wearing heels, so they get sacrificed for flats. Plus when your boyfriend is shorter than you and you want to wear heels, the height difference makes it hard.

3. Finding good clothing is hard

Trying to find clothing that actually fits well can be hard. Since you're already taller, a pair of shorts that would look fine on someone shorter look super short on you because of your height. The same goes for dresses the ones that might fit normally on someone else tend to look shorter on you.

4. You always get asked to get things for others

Your height can be an advantage and a disadvantage, more so the second one if you have short friends. If you do, most of the time they will end up asking you for something that they can't quite reach, so you have to do it for them.

5. When people ask you how tall you are

You easily get tired of people constantly asking you how tall you are. After this it then transfers to all these other types of questions about your height. Do you like being tall? How's the weather up there? Are you taller than your friends?


In the end, it pays off to be taller most of the time, but there can be some minor inconveniences. No matter what though, whether you are tall or short, you shouldn't let people judge you based on how you look. Love yourself because you are unique and there is only one you.

The dynamics of any friend group are usually determined by the personalities which make it up.
