Tall Girls Are Trending On Social Media...And For The Wrong Reasons | Why Social Media Is TOXIC For Tall Women
So apparently… tall girls are trending on social media??? And lowkey for the wrong reasons. Let me explain. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been seeing on my TikTok feed specifically, men (keep this in mind for later), talking about tall women and saying how they’re beautiful, how they've been slept on in the dating world, and so forth. And these videos are getting tens of thousands and even hundreds of thousands of likes, views, shares, and so forth. Great. Awesome. You’re probably like, what’s wrong with that? Don’t you agree with them? Oh, of course I do. 100000%. But the thing is, tall women have been saying this for YEARS, but now it’s like, yesssssss tall women slay queen period sis purr. C’mon now.Now listen, this isn’t the only trend of tall women. We are trending right now for multiple reasons. It’s just that these men saying these things about tall women is a bit interesting to me. Once again, I don’t think that it’s a bad thing. I don’t think they have any ill intent. My thing is why is this a trending idea? Trends indicate what’s cool right now. What’s cool in the moment. Why is this cool right now when it should be cool overall, right? Tall women have always been amazing…it’s just why are so many people making this “trendy” now? And honestly, this really just shows how men kinda dictate what the societal beauty standards are and what’s considered conventionally attractive. Anyways, what are these men saying about tall women exactly? And why is social media a messy space for tall women? Tune in to the episode for more!

"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!

What It's REALLY Like Being A Tall Girl | Why It's Such An Isolating Experience
Truthfully, being tall can be an isolating experience. I mean, it’s very rare to have a moment where you can just feel like everyone else. Whenever you walk into a room, you’re immediately noticed and get stares. People feel the need to make comments about your height. You see that cute fit your friends are wearing? Yeah, you can’t wear that because it’s not long enough. Experiences like these add up over time, causing us to feel like the odd one out constantly. Like the world treats you differently because of something you can’t control. After a while, you start to wonder if there's a place for you or just anyone who can understand or relate or literally treat you like a normal human being. Today, I will be breaking down why many of us tall women feel this silent loneliness and why we shouldn’t downplay this or pretend it doesn’t affect us. Ok, was this a bit dramatic?? Maybe. But also not really. Because high school me/middle school me felt this way. Felt really isolated, felt like the odd one out. And I wanna say super early on that this episode is to not complain about being tall or hating on it. Because I know people will say “oh you’re so lucky to be tall” and bla bla bla like I get it. For real. Being tall is a blessing but it also has its trying moments. People will call you the weirdest names. And say the most heinous things about your body and height. Strangers will stare and point at you in public. Even your friends will say/do some shady things. All of this is on top of the fact that you're hyper-aware of your height in public and are constantly comparing your height to your shorter peers.When living in a world where many people are shorter than you, it can be hard. Truthfully. If you can relate, I highly recommend checking this episode out!

Is Tall Clothing ACTUALLY Tall or Just a Scam?? | Why 'Tall' Clothing Still Isn't Tall Enough
Check out this playlist of tall brands: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0fCZgSUAcqOJo3PFAz4zQhiNfJGZF5kw By the time this episode is up, my birthday will have already passed! Ya girl is 23 years old PERIODDDDDDD XDDDDDD. I had a whole thing over the weekend to celebrate my birthday since my birthday was indeed on a Tuesday EWUH lol so we had to work but if you wanna see what happened and some flicks and such, make sure you check out my socials. And don’t forget to wish me a happy birthday! Alrighty, today we are talking about how some tall clothing is in fact not tall clothing. Over the course of the past few months, I’ve stumbled across a few videos of some tall girls complaining about how pants that were labeled as “tall” or “long” aren’t actually “tall” or “long”. Like the jeans were not hitting their ankles. Not even close LOL. And I find this interesting because when we talk about tall girl problems in regards to clothing, we typically talk about how clothing brands don’t cater to us at all. Like there’s no tall clothing available at that particular store. BUT we don’t talk about when tall brands do have tall clothing lines, but the items STILL AREN’T LONG ENOUGH. Now that’s a whole different level lol because it’s like why are you gonna label something as tall but it’s not long enough?? Where did you get your market research from? Did you even do any market research?? Anyways, I will go deeper into why these brands have tall clothing lines that aren’t actually “tall” and where we should be getting our clothes from instead.

This Surgery WILL RUIN Tall Girls | WTH is Height Reduction Surgery???
Okay, I have to ask – am I the only one? Am I the only tall girly who has considered height reduction surgery? Okay I was like 10 when I was actively considering it lol so there was no way that was ever really gonna happen but still. I hated my height so much that I genuinely wanted it. But thank goodness I didn’t get it because NOW I really do love my height. So, what is height reduction surgery? Height reduction surgery is a procedure that aims to reduce overall height by removing a portion of a bone or intentionally damaging growth plates to stop further growth. And yes okay this is a real thing; go and look it up…or just listen to this episode. I honestly think there are several medical reasons why someone would get this surgery, such as to even out limbs that are at different lengths, but this procedure remains rare. Why?? Who knows. Maybe because of the various risks associated with it. However, the tall girlies are not looking to get this procedure for medical reasons. So why would they actively consider it? Tune in to the full episode to find out! And a big thanks to Sumissura for sponsoring today’s episode! Finding clothes that actually fit our length and proportions is one of the biggest struggles tall women face. Because, let’s be real, most big brands just don’t get it. They either ignore us completely or think adding a couple of inches makes something “tall.” Yeah… not quite.That’s where Sumissura comes in. They’re a custom clothing brand that uses a made-to-measure system to create garments tailored to your body. All you have to do is enter your height, weight, and body type, and using over 13 years of algorithm training, they predict your measurements, including leg length, waist, and more so that you never have to second-guess the fit.

Does Height REALLY Impact Career Success? | What It's Like Being A Tall Woman In The Workplace
Today’s episode is actually inspired by a couple of TikTok videos I’ve seen recently. It started off with a tall girl video-ing herself what text on the screen saying “me at work” or something of that sort. Then it cuts to screenshots of people (stock images of course) with things that these people in the workplace have said to her because she’s tall. So things like “Oh I wish I had your height” or “Why don’t you play basketball?” and so forth lol I thought it was funny; I thought it was a joke so I kept scrolling. Then I came across ANOTHER video of a tall girl talking about how she was in a meeting for work and that the person said “Oh, you’re taller than I expected”. And then I was like oh…so stuff like this happens for real lol?? Do people actually make comments about our height in professional settings? Now, the thing is I’m mainly remote. I’m a freelance marketer and I go into some type of office, professional setting like one day a week. And that’s only been happening for a few weeks. So I can’t really speak on the experiences of being a tall woman in the workplace. So I did what anyone else would do and took my inquiries to the Internet - aka Reddit and you guys lol. So I asked y’all on Instagram what your experiences have been like in the workplace as tall women. Because let’s face it, people say that tall people tend to be more successful in their careers, get paid more, etc. And by tall people, they mean tall men. Let’s find out if tall women’s experiences are the same or different. Tune into the full episode!

Is This The Only Solution To Our Tall Girl Fashion Problems? | Let's See If This Brand Is REALLY For The Tall Girlies ft. Sumissura
One of the biggest struggles tall girls will ever face is fashion/clothing problems. Like we allllll know the struggle. It’s pretty normal for us to walk into a store and see a petite clothing section, a regular size clothing section, even a plus size section, but we’re like, where’s the tall section?? So that leads us to take our search online. Half the time major brands lie about selling tall clothing. They literally just slap an extra inch of fabric and call it tall without considering our proportions. Or if you’re anything like me, sometimes you find true tall clothing to be a little too tall :/// Lol it’s like we can’t win. Or can we?? Today, I’m partnering with Sumissura to see if it’s the solution to our tall girl problems. Sumissura is a custom clothing brand that uses a made-to-measure system to create garments that are unique to your body. They use several years of algorithm training to calculate measurements based on your height, weight, age, and body type.I went through the whole entire process from designing my garments down to the smallest details like the buttons to getting the clothes delivered to me and trying them on.

The Tall Truth: How Fashion, The Media, and Society Fail Tall Women ft. Heidi Burns
Today, we are joined by a special guest – a fellow tall girl named Heidi!We are talking about all things tall from fashion to media representation and even societal norms. Let’s face it: as tall women, it can feel like the world is against us sometimes. Clothing brands rarely cater to us (although I will say that it’s gotten better in recent years!). We’re often depicted as villainous or masculine in the media. And people tend to make unwarranted comments and ask STOOPID questions regarding our height.And with most of the people around us being shorter than us, it’s easy to feel alone. But the tall girl community remains strong as always! Plenty of us have experienced the same thing, and today, Heidi and I are ready to share our stories and provide advice on overcoming these challenges. Tune in to the full episode for more!
