r/tall

I'm 6 ft and the shortest guy I dated was 5'5 .

Short men under 5'9 some of them look good and have insane face cards . Don't underestimate short men the only men that were able to pick me up were all short . While tall men struggled a lot .

I also find short men don't associate masculinity with height . I feel more at ease with them . They treat me normally . Also short men know what they want and will pursue a tall women . They don't expect to be pursued or chased like tall men .

I have a family tree full of tall men so tall men never stood out to me .

Idk I was never that attracted to tall men . I hate the stereotype that tall women only want tall men . Let the short girls have the tall men never bothered me .

I find being 6 ft I feel much safer at my height especially when walking alone at night . I can put on a hoodie and sweatpants and easily pass as a guy which comes in handy when walking alone at night .

Also my height protects me from creepy men who infantilize women . I have a short friend who gets her space bubble violated all the time , and men say the creepiest stuff to her . Being tall also means less sexual harassment , and cat calling because most men are intimidated by me .

Lastly I find being tall gives me many workplace benefits . Being tall means more respect , and being taken seriously than a shorter woman . Also being tall means people see you as a natural leader and more intelligent which helps in the workplace .

I am tall, honest. 1.91m which i think is around 6' 3.5. I have a fair few friends, family and colleagues who are taller, some by quite a bit e.g 10+ cm but i always think we are pretty much the same height and I am always surprised when i see us in photos or we are standing close together

My wife jokingly says my extreme self confidence makes me think i am the bigger than i am but I honestly just seem oblivious to people taller than me

Anyone else like this?

Hi everyone!

My son is 9yo but he is 5'7 and 180pds! When he was smaller he loved to ride his bike with training wheels. It was great exercise for him which he is in serious need of. So now he's older, and he never really learned how to balance properly w.o. the balance wheels. He is in a full man's bike size, and I'm not strong enough to hold him up while he gains enough speed to really get going. Does anyone here struggle with this and have any tips? Im at a loss, but it's really important to me that he learns to ride a 2 wheeler. He just has the brain of a regular 9yo but the body of a full-grown man, and he has had a really hard time growing into his body size. Any advice is appreciated!

Hi, I just reached 20 a few weeks ago. I'm currently 6'1 (1.85 cm) but I'm honestly pretty insecure about my height. It feels like a weird spot where some people tell me I'm tall (a friend of mine asked me if I was 1.90cm which was strange) and I mean, it's above average, but I don't actually feel like that's the case walking around. Apparently you can, or at least, doesn't seem the case for most, but I've read under a couple of other posts that an odd number of people still claimed to have grown of up to a couple of inches after 19.

Edit: also, it seems since last year I still grew a little because I used to claim I was 6'1 even though I was a couple of cm under that, but now I am exactly that. That may as well be an impression or maybe I'm remembering wrong

I've always been terrible at bodyweight exercises, and I thought it was because I was fat as a kid. But now that im in better shape, they still feel very brutal.

At what weight you are not consider “skinny” or “lanky” anymore? For this height

I'm 6'0 I find men either really are into it in a fetishizing way or they really hate it . Dating apps or IRL it's all the same .

Ideally I want a guy who treats me normally , and who isn't so shocked by my height all the time . I joke with my friends I need to become a passport girlie and find a Dutch or Croatian guy because their women are tall so my height would be more familiar to them .

Also you have those guys who swear they don't mind but their body language says otherwise or those men who say they don't mind but after the honeymoon or infatuation phase they feel resentment .

Please give me hope . I'm 27 and feel like I'm running out of time .....
