"You're Pretty For A Tall Girl" | The HARSH TRUTH About Beauty Standards for Tall Women

Tall girls just aren’t that pretty.’

That’s how we’re made to feel or even what we’re told growing up by our crush, our peers, even family and friends, and strangers. And it’s not a one-and-done thing. In fact, it’s recurring. We hear and feel this often enough for us to wonder:

Does everyone have the same viewpoint of tall women?

That we’re these ‘big’, awkward skyscrapers?

Why? Why is this the case?

I got 3 words for ya:

Societal beauty standards.

This is explained in a piece written in the Minnesota Daily by Sidney Clarke, who says, “height has been inextricably associated with a lack of conventional beauty.”
Why is this the case? And how can we overcome this?

Well, that’s what today’s episode is all about! Tune in for more!

Are Tall Women Lying About Their Height? | Because People Stay Arguing With Us About It

Are Tall Women Lying About Their Height? | Because People Stay Arguing With Us About It

If you’re a tall girly reading this right now, I want you to tell me if this has ever happened to you. You’re at a bar, or if you’re under 21 in the U.S., you’re somewhere other than the bar, and a random stranger comes up to you and asks you how tall you are. Nothing new, of course; it happens from time to time. You’re feeling good vibes today, so you answer the question. Just as an example, you say that you’re 6’2” because you are.  And then the stranger says, “You can’t be 6’2” because I’m 6’2” and I’m looking up at you.” And no, you’re not wearing heels, by the way. Or you are and proceed to take them off to show your actual height (spoiler: you’re still taller).Either way, you’re like no, I AM 6’2”, but whatever. Then, the stranger quite literally starts arguing with you about how you’re wrong and you’re the one lying and bla bla bla. And you’re just like chill, we literally don’t even know each other; it’s not that deep babes. There are many tall women who have experienced something like this, and I’m sure they all question why it's THAT serious. Well, we’re hopefully gonna get to the bottom of this in today’s episode, so make sure you tune in! Buy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/atallgirlspodcast Subscribe to A Tall Girl's Newsletter: https://atallgirlspodcast.beehiiv.com/subscribeLet's stay connected: https://beacons.ai/atallgirlspodcast Leave a review and let me know how tall you are: https://atallgirlspodcast.com/reviews

Bigger retailers are now including tall sizing for some of their pieces and various small tall brands are popping up left and right. Hearing this, you’d think everything is all dandy, right?WRONG. Well, kinda. We have tall clothing, but according to some tall women, there seems to be something lacking. Like taste…or style. Oh dear, that sounds a bit harsh. In today’s episode, we’re gonna determine whether or not tall-friendly women’s clothing is ugly and explore the reasons why some tall women believe that they actually are kinda ugly.

The Masculinization of Tall Women vs. The Feminization of Short Women

The Masculinization of Tall Women vs. The Feminization of Short Women

We’re gonna start with a question. Have you ever noticed how height plays a role in how you’re treated as a woman? Just as an example: many women feel as though people take them more seriously partially due to their height whereas many short women feel the opposite. Physical appearance plays a huge role in how people perceive you. And to many, that usually means clothing and personal style, body art, even skin tone and weight. However, height is one of those more subtle things that people don’t even realize they’re treating you a certain way because of it, whether in the workplace, friendships, or even romantic relationships. And we’re gonna dive deeper into why this is the case, how that affects the everyday lives of tall and short women, and the role it plays in both parties’ confidence, so make sure to tune in today! Buy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/atallgirlspodcast Subscribe to A Tall Girl's Newsletter: https://atallgirlspodcast.beehiiv.com/subscribeLet's stay connected: https://beacons.ai/atallgirlspodcast Leave a review and let me know how tall you are: https://atallgirlspodcast.com/reviews

Does This Type of Tall Woman Have It HARDER? | When Tall Doesn’t Fit The “Ideal Look”

Does This Type of Tall Woman Have It HARDER? | When Tall Doesn’t Fit The “Ideal Look”

Existing as a tall woman can be difficult at times.Okay, I’m making it seem like being a tall woman sucks. And truth be told, it DOES suck sometimes, but overall, it is a beautiful experience. Truly. There are so many things to love about being a tall girly. However, I’m not gonna lie to y’all. There are other features in addition to our height that often play a part in our unique experiences that can negatively affect us. For example, I did an episode discussing the unique struggles tall Black women face based on different stereotypes, like aggressive, intimidating, etc. I essentially said that being Black often leads to people associating these women with those stereotypes, and being tall kind of doubles down on those stereotypes, if you get what I mean. And now it’s been brought to my attention that the tall plus-sized girlies have their own unique set of struggles. From clothes to being on the receiving end of aggressive behaviors to oversexualization, the tall plus-sized girlies are going through it. And we’re gonna get a little deeper into this topic in today’s episode, so tune in! Buy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/atallgirlspodcast Subscribe to A Tall Girl's Newsletter: https://atallgirlspodcast.beehiiv.com/subscribeLet's stay connected: https://beacons.ai/atallgirlspodcast Leave a review and let me know how tall you are: https://atallgirlspodcast.com/reviews

What It's REALLY Like Dating As A Tall Woman | Are The Tall Girlies Desperate?

What It's REALLY Like Dating As A Tall Woman | Are The Tall Girlies Desperate?

Dating as a girly is such a beautiful experience. Well…it should be a beautiful experience. Because dating as a woman in 2025 can honestly be a hot mess. So adding height to the mix (like being a tall girly) can definitely make it an even hotter mess. And some of the experiences I’ve heard and/or read literally validate that last point. I’ve heard many things from their dates lying about their height on dating apps to their dates telling them not to wear heels to the oversexualizing comments to being rejected solely based on height, and the list just goes on and on and on.So today, we’re gonna dive a bit deeper into the reality of dating as a tall woman and how other tall girlies are turning something that seems difficult and annoying into a more positive and fun experience.

Do Short Girls Secretly Have Beef With Tall Girls?

Do Short Girls Secretly Have Beef With Tall Girls?

There are many types of people who have some tension with tall women. For some reason, that sounds very odd to say, but it’ll make more sense the deeper I get into this episode. We have the old people who have no problem being shady towards the tall girlies. And if you’re a tall girl listening to this right now, I’m sure an old lady on the street has told you that you’re never gonna find a husband “with that height”. Happens to the best of us :/// Then we have the opposite side with little kids who have no filter and will say the rudest things to your face and/or look at you like you’re a monster. Then we have the short men with fragile egos. No need to explain that one further. But what about the short girlies? Some of you guys have said that there’s something going on between the tall girlies and short girlies. Maybe some beef?? Well, in today’s episode, we are gonna unpack that, so make sure you tune in! Buy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/atallgirlspodcast Subscribe to A Tall Girl's Newsletter: https://atallgirlspodcast.beehiiv.com/subscribeLet's stay connected: https://beacons.ai/atallgirlspodcast Leave a review and let me know how tall you are: https://atallgirlspodcast.com/reviews

The Obsession With Tall Girls Is Out of Control | Why Is Everyone So Fixated on Height?

The Obsession With Tall Girls Is Out of Control | Why Is Everyone So Fixated on Height?

We’re gonna set the scene for the tall girls.By the way, this may or may not actually be a true story. You’re a tall girly in the grocery store, shopping because we all have to eat. A lady approaches you and asks you to reach a can of whatever off a high shelf. Well, a high shelf for her because she’s pretty short. Now, of course, it’s your literal duty as a tall citizen to reach things from high areas for people, so you do it. You hand the can of whatever, and she says thank you. You go back to browsing. But she keeps talking…and that’s where it all goes downhill. She goes, “You know, you’re pretty large for such a pretty girl.” Oh????? Anyways, you laugh it off. She continues, saying, “I’ve been eyeing you from afar because I didn’t know how big you were, but as I got closer, you’re bigger than I expected.” Oh, so we’re stalking people now?? Now you’re weirded out, and so you just say “oh…awesome”, and try to walk away. AND THEN she says, “You know, my son likes really tall girls. You’d be the perfect height for him”. And that’s when you speed away because who says something like that if they’re not gonna kidnap you. I’ve watched too many horror movies and Dateline episodes to try to figure out what happens next. Anyways, this story isn’t the first time that a tall girl (who happened to be me lol) would receive weird comments or have a conversation solely based on her height. And in today’s episode, we’re getting to the bottom of why some people are so fixated or even obsessed with a tall woman’s height.

Are Tall Women Not Feminine Enough? | Why Some Tall Women Don’t Feel Feminine

Are Tall Women Not Feminine Enough? | Why Some Tall Women Don’t Feel Feminine

If you’re a tall girly, I’m sure you’ve heard the idea that tall women are perceived as masculine. I mean, there’s nothing new here. We know height equals masculinity in society’s eyes or whatever, leading many people, whether people we know or complete strangers, to kind of act out on this idea by treating us aggressively and even misgendering us. We all know the gist here. But there’s a bit of a flip side to this, where some tall girls kind of believe this notion. Basically, there are tall women who don’t feel feminine or even have a hard time embracing their femininity. And a Reddit post on this led me down this huge rabbit hole about how and why some tall women feel this way. If you’re a tall girly who resonates with this, #1 you are not alone, and #2 I highly recommend tuning in to this episode because we’re gonna get into the nitty-gritty of this topic.
