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. Tune in to the full episode for more!
