tall psyki you think that you're so special you don't know what special is and i don't care if you sink or swim or fly or crash it only hurts to realize that you're going nowhere important and that you're not important and even if you are important i don't think you are 000205 ... The Schleiffen Man a fact in my life that i must deal with... something i hadnothing to do with but it all has to do with me no matter what...after all, i'm not THAT tall... Sometimes it's fun being 6' 5" and wearing a size 15 shoe... those are the times when you're playing water polo in the dorm pool for 2 hours or teasing friends with candy that you hold over their heads.... but sometimes it's not so fun.... like when i couldn't get a decent pair of shoes while i was growing up because my mom didn't want to spend money on shoes i would out grow before i wore out.... when you can't ride in your father's convertible becausse if it starts to rain, the top can't shut all the way... it is nice to be tall in deptartment stores; i can see over all the racks and all the people... i can get my own items from the top shelves... but ont he same hand, i can scare children with a single step of my size 15 shoes.... hell, for a short time in my first year in college i even scared Diney and maybe even Molly in my colloquium class, and they were at least 18.... tall is a pendulum that swings from good to bad, sometimes staying on one side longer than the other.... but in the end, it's all the same to me.... 000607 ... emily ...you and i would look pretty silly standing next to each other....you being so tall and me being so short... i'm almost 5'2 and wear a size 6 shoe.. crazy..... 000607 ... Shae I remember being fifteen and almost six feet tall. Slim waist, long legs, and non-existant breasts. I felt like a ghost of the woman I would become. 000827 ... Subterranean Visions i am fifteen and 6'1". thats pretty tall. granted im not 6'5" or anything, but im taller than most people. 011030 ... phil I would rather be short, but I am tall and skinny. Being tall is pointless, people ask you for favors because your tall. And they don't make things high enough for you to feel comfortable. I poke my head in the kitchen an awfil lot. It's reall pain, I used to be just the right height, there is no future in it. 020111 ... kristian I am 16 years old and 6'4" with a size 15 shoe. It doesnt bother me that I am taller than all of my friends. It's good actually, because I can slam dunk a basketball and they can't. Funny for me. 020509 ... littleidiot what i sort of am when i don't slouch. 021118 ... Nathan88 wow your tall do you play basketball how tall are you awkward looks sound familiar...cuz damn it gets old at least once a day if not 5-10 times i hear this...its just annoying...u dont tell a fat person theyre fat, you dont tell a person theyre short...so why tall? i know its ment as a compliment becuz its more acceptable to society, but damn...one day w/o it would be nice yes i am tall, i did play basketball, i am 6'7" 215lbs 20 years old...happy now? 021211 ... scuzz I did not call him Nathan. I did not call him. I did not call. I did not. So much I did not for you. 021211 ... no use for a name I feel like a giant. I am taller than most of the girls at my school. People tell me, oh its good that you're tall cause you'll like it when your older, or you look like a model! But i sure don't feel like a model. I feel like a freak. I hate it cause there are many guys that I would have a chance with but I'm taller than them! Why can't there be more tall guys? I am 5'11 and I am taller than most boys it seems like. I hate this. 030111 ... Lilac formerly known as Freak I'm female and 5'11" also!! I have the same problems. What I hate more than anything though is trying to find jeans that are tall and skinny enough for me. I hate shopping because I can't stand the dissapointment of nothing ever fitting! no use for a name, we could be freaks together. You made me feel better now that I know Im not the only tall freak! 030111 ... margadant11 5'11" is tall um... not all that tall, and still its not like other people are even taller then that like 6', - 7' in rare cases so I am not sure I follow... anyways tall skinny women are hot... :) I am 6'1" and I have no trouble finding close that fit me. But then I am the average male, I would guess. 030111 ... minnesota_chris I feel so bad that women feel this way. Tall women are so beautiful. 030112 ... no use for a name thanks chris...that makes me feel better. i guess everyone just wants to be what they aren't. And its good to know that i'm not the only tall girl out there. 030112 ... elimeny oy, i feel your pain, except its even worse when you ARENT skinny. I'm five foot ten, and im somewhat chubby, and i guess the only nice thing is that if i were five foot five i would look much worse. and i used to care so much about not being taller than the guys around me, but recently ive decided, oh fuck it, and started wearing heels if i liked them. they dont make shoes for tall girls. and im not gonna wear shoes i dont like just because every man in america is short. 030112 ... Lilac like I said, Its hard to find cloths that fit but I would never wish to be shorter. Im comfortable in this 5'11" body. It gives me room to stretch. 030113 ... Alden let me tell youse something, tall ain't all it's cracked up to be. I'm 6'5' and a half, and once you've hit your head on a ceiling fan it kinda loses its charm. No matter how much I eat I still look rail thin (I'm up to 193 lbs! Woo Hoo!) and no matter where I am I'm not comfortable because I just don't fit. Add to that the fact I'm left handed and sometimes I just think it would be easier to give up and move to the mountains away from a civilization designed for right handed midgets. 030218 ... Lilac All I wanted to do was make a simple little salad at the salad bar in Kroger but I can't reach under the glass to get the things in the middle without bending down. It makes me so angry that I can't get my fucking food! I would still never want to be shorter. It just wouldn't be me. 030218 ... Kat wow i have always admired tall people. my parents were 6'6"(dad) and 6'3"(mom) i am only 5'2" and im at my full height. all of my sibblings are tall and i wish i were. you are absolutely beautiful and lucky, count your blessings, you can reach the kitchen cabnets without standing on tip-toes 030310 ... a tall person perhaps, but you never bump your head on low doorways either 030310 ... niska baby, you smile when you commit that sin... don't be too sure the tall grass ain't where I've been AIN'T WHRER I'VE BEEN! 030314 ... kathy Out with three friends 5'6" or shorter Bruntettes Cute Me 6'1" Blonde Beautiful Boys "Hey your friends are really cute!" "If we dance with them are you going to beat us up?" Great Being tall sure is fun.... 030406 ... Stacy_is_tall being tall is a very beautiful thing I am around six feet tall my parents are 6 feet and 6 feet five there is nothing wrong with that i don't worry about finding a guy i'm only still 16 if this is a website that doesn't like being tall then let me tell you this God made us tall and I"m very happy with that because I feel beautiful and being tall has never ever made me uncomfortable except I hate shopping for shoes because I can't buy the ones with heels and stuff. when I grow up I want to be a fashion designer and make plenty of long pants and flat shoes!!!!! 030412 ... Stacy_is_tall oh yes, I"m left handed too. I"m a freak of nature and i'm proud of it! 030412 ... tall female I am female and about 6 feet tall when I wear normal shoes..LOL...It is so encouraging to stumble on this weboage and read your words that give me strength. I have always wanted to be short, to fit in somehow. I dont believe that is what God intended for me to do. Yes, I played basketball and was very good at it, it came natural to me like walking. I am clumpsy and struggle with my outer appearance and self esteem alot. One day I want to just look at myself and be happy with ME. All 6 feet of me... 030729 ... Sarah im 6ft and im only 14, my friend even says i look way to skinny...but im normal weight! I feel like such a freak, sitting at the back of the class. I have a lot of friends but i would have lots more if i wasnt so tall and i feel like a freak, everyday a randam girl looks back behind them and gives me a dirty look then whoa your tall, and im just sick of it, i dont attract guyus, and i did play basketball but it just didnt fit me,now i stick to horsebackriding, tennis and track! 030927 ... Jasmine Wow, I'm actually really glad I came upon this website because I've always wanted to be short and I feel like such a giant at school and everything. I'm 13 and I'm 5'4",you might say its not that tall, but I'm the tallest person in my class and I like alot of guys the problem is their all midgets,and I'm also left-handed,which would make me feel more isolated. People think i'm great at basketball,but shit,I cant even play well, not even that advantage. Either way,this site made me feel a little better about myself though i'm not sure when i'll be able to accept myself completely for who i am and not who i want to be. 031126 ... Milie Hey, I am 6 feet 3 inches female and I LOVE every inch of it. Actually I wear heels because I can get enough of being tall. I LOVE the attention, the guys, the questions: are you a model? Are you a model? are you a model? and ofcourse do you play basketball? When I'm out clubbing, most guys are drawn to me and I feel very powerful. The bad side is not being able to find jeans that are long and thin, formal suits with long enough sleeves, high heeled shoes and thigh high boots. For all my depressed fellow tallies, people are excited about tall height because it is a GREAT thing. Please don't feel bad about it!!! 031127 ... Diamond higher than any other person, lookin for my own type of world of misfortune, but i now see cuz, i am tall, not short or medium to mess up and fall. i do not think of anything else to get in my way, i am me, a person u have to please. tall is my name and u are my little flea. tall is my personality, tall is my height, i am a person with power so leave or you'll be crushed by my tower. tall is not a game, nor full of fame. i am myself, when all else...fails. tall. 031208 ... minnesota_chris who else would change the light bulbs? 031208 ... Eiki We are not too tall. The world is too short. I am a 6' 4" male with a 30" waist - tall and skinny is even more freakish for men, I think. No matter; I stand tall and proud and will not stoop for anybody. I also suck at basketball, but here is a good comeback to the inevitable question: "Do you play basketball?" "No. Are you a jockey?" :) Some clothes shopping tips I have discovered: find jeans online (only macys.com still carries my 30x36 levi's). My suits are made custom by a guy in Hong Kong (kinda expensive to travel, but the tailoring is quite good and very very cheap.) Dress pants - buy "unfinished" in your waist size and take them to any tailor to get them hemmed. 040126 ... iNsEcUrE_GoTh_GiRl nah i think the world is too tall, i'm nearly 15 and im 5'4", one of the shortest ppl in my year! its
