Tall Girl Reacts To Tall Girl Problems (Part 7) | Short Best Friends, Car Seats, Wishing You Were Shorter

At some point in their lives, whether for a short period of time or for years and years and years, many (if not all) tall girls have felt insecure about their height. It’s natural. It’s inevitable. Everyone gets insecure at times. And if we lived through similar tall girl experiences, the insecurities are DEFINITELY real. However, there are people who don’t believe they’re real?? Or let me rephrase it, there are people who believe these insecurities shouldn’t be real. Like they shouldn’t exist at all. Listen, there are a lot of things that rub me the wrong way as a tall girl and invalidating comments are definitely up there. “I wish I had your height.” “I wouldn’t be insecure if I were you.” “You have no reason to feel bad about your height.” Like listen, I get it but also not really. Anyways today, we’re talking about the invalidation of tall women’s insecurities, the pressures that come with being a tall woman, and how some tall girls don’t like other tall girls??

I wanna provide a little context for the tall girlies before getting into this episode. I went shoe shopping with a friend a few weeks ago because, you know, a girly had a couple of outings coming up, so I wanted to get some new shoes. Little did I know that that would be a little difficult, but we’ll get into that in a second. We went to Nordstrom Rack and walked past rows and rows of women’s shoes. We passed by the size 5 section, size 6 section, size 7 section, just rows and rows of varieties of shoes like sneakers, heels, sandals, flats, you name it. I’m excited like omg I can’t wait to find these in my size. Eventually, I get to the size 9.5 section (that’s my size) and why was it like only half a row???? Literally ONE HALF of a row. I’m like okay?? I turn around a corner within the store and see another half a row of size 9.5 shoes. I’m like oh…this is it?? I turn around and I see a wall with size 10 shoes (really just sneakers and boots). And the same with size 11 shoes. I don’t even know if that location had anything past a size 11, and if they did, it was not very visible. Many tall women I’ve interviewed on this podcast have a shoe size of 11, 12, or even 13. So, if I’m struggling to find variety in a size 9.5…are the other tall girlies ok?? Today, we’re gonna be talking about the shoe struggle many tall women face and why this isn’t spoken about enough.

Alright tall girlies, picture this. Hypothetically, you’re single and into men. Oof, we’re already off to a rather interesting start lol. You’re on this date with a guy, and he’s tall too. Maybe he’s around you’re height; maybe he’s a lot taller than you. Let your imagination run wild lol. This is a first date, by the way. It’s going great; you’re getting to know each other, cracking jokes, getting flirtatious or whatever, y’all are talking, and he just whips out “You and me, we could totally have D1 babies”.And oh yeah, he never asked you if you wanted kids!!! XDDDDD You probably cringed like oh…haha…yeahhhh. Or maybe you’re into that. Who knows? Okay, I know this is a weird hypothetical situation, but you never know. This may have happened to someone. Did this happen to you? Anyways, I was just trying to warm you up to this episode topic, where we’re talking about the comment some tall women get about making D1 babies and how some tall women may not even want tall daughters.

Every single tall person known to existence has had a complicated relationship with their height. And speaking from my experience as a tall girly, I know I’ve had quite the tricky relationship with mine. There were times when I loved being tall. It was the greatest thing ever; it made me feel powerful and unique and beautiful even. And there were times when I was like why did my tall dad and above-average height mom have to make me tall again? From the self comparisons to my awkward tall teen phase to even the adults closest to me making me feel insecure about my height, it was a lot to deal with. Can any other tall girls relate? It’s almost like do the cons outweigh the pros? When it comes to being a tall girl, is there more bad than good? Honestly, it gets to a point where you have to ask, do tall girls hate being tall? Okay, that was a bit extreme, but we’re gonna answer this question and more in the 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

The experiences that tall women go through are honestly…pretty wild. If you’re a tall girly, you understand 110%. Yes, there are the fashion struggles like jeans hitting mid-calf, long sleeves not reaching your wrists, and not even finding clothes that fit your length. There are also the comments like “oh my gosh, you’re so big” or “are you sure you’re a woman?” and we can’t forget about the aggressive behavior. Like people will literally roll up on you and try to fight you. And it seems like the taller you are, the wilder these experiences are. And today’s guest knows exactly what I’m talking about. Today, I’m joined by 6’4” fashionista Alie (also known as six four unicorn period), who has been using her voice, height, and style to create an accepting and welcoming space for tall women online. We’re gonna be talking about tall girl experiences, her fashion struggles as a 6’4” woman, and some intel on the first-ever tall girl brand trip with TJL Collection.

If you’re a tall girl reading this right now, I’m sure you’ve struggled with clothing at some point in your life. Heck, you’re probably even struggling with clothing right now at this moment. Were you just online shopping? And trying to filter through them 32-inch inseam jeans? It’s okay; you don’t have to lie lol. It happens to the best of us. But yeah, clothing is probably the biggest tall girl problem….ever. There’s no doubt about it. The pants, the skirts, the shoes, but there’s one article of clothing that isn’t spoken about enough, and that is: dresses.  Okay, we do speak about it, BUT it’s not spoken about as much as pants. Don’t come for me. I know we can at least agree on that. So today, we’re going to be talking about why brands are falling short (literally lol) when it comes to dresses for the tall girlies and an amazing solution to this problem.

***Just a disclaimer: there are a few mentions of people being transphobic and using transphobic comments. Nothing too intense, just explaining a point while these terms are used. It’s no secret that some people view height as masculinity. Meaning tall women have often been seen as or called masculine. I’m sure we all know that lowkey. It happens to the best of us. And I’ve talked about it quite often on the pod. But what if some people take this a step further? What if they believe that you are or call you a man or transgender? Yes, there are tall women out there who were assigned female at birth who still choose to identify as a woman, and people still straight up ask them if they’re a man or trans, and why are we asking strangers about their sexuality/identity?????But people don’t even have to do all of that? It can be something as simple as the side-eye in a woman’s public restroom or calling you ‘sir’. So, in today’s episode, we’re discussing why people often misgender tall women and determining if people are actually doing this on purpose.

Every tall girl knows the feeling of being the odd one out. In fact, I’m sure you were the one tall girl among your friends, classmates, teammates, or peers. You’d be a head taller than them to the point where other people would assume that you’re the random older sibling babysitting them. Or maybe that was just me and my situation lol. Your friends were able to share clothes with each other, but you can’t because your friends’ clothes won’t fit you. People may treat you differently from them. Sometimes, your friends may make fun of you for being the tallest one in the group, making you feel even more insecure about your height. What if I told you that some of your friends may be doing that last part on purpose? Yeah…some of your “friends” may not be your for real for real friends. Geesh, that got kinda dark lol…But I mean it IS real life. Anyways, so today we’re gonna be talking about how our shorter friends may have made us insecure about our height, whether they meant to or not.
