What It's REALLY Like Being A Tall Girl | Why It's Such An Isolating Experience

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Every single tall girl tuning in right now knows the struggle of finding clothes that fit properly. We have the clothes that, quite frankly, aren’t long enough. The clothes that are long enough, but the proportions are horrendous (like the only reason the pair of pants is long enough is because the crotch area is down to our knees lol). We also have the brands lying about their clothing being “tall friendly”. Whichever struggle you face the most, it’s easy to feel like the options are very limited. So we may take our search online, hopefully to find other tall girls reviewing clothes that fit them. Maybe you stumble across a video of a girly reviewing a pair of jeans. Those jeans fit her well, and they even drag on the floor a little. She claims it’s “tall girl friendly”. Now you’re excited, ready to figure out the brand of the jeans, and the girl in the video says, “Oh, by the way, I’m 5’6”” :///// She really had us there for a sec. Anyways, today, we’re discussing how some of the short girlies are lying about how some of the clothing items they’re trying on are “tall girl friendly” and why that’s the case.

It’s no secret that there are people in a tall woman’s life who can make her insecure, and this can be either growing up, in their adult life, or both stages.And I think I did a few episodes regarding each group or some of these groups of people. We have our peers, especially growing up, whether it’s our classmates, teammates, or “friends” calling us those weird, annoying names and asking dumb questions like “How’s the weather up there?” We also have the adults like teachers, coaches, or even strangers making assumptions about us or staring at us because of our height. Then, we have family members, the ones who are supposed to always have our backs but pick us apart and make horrible self-comparisons. And then we have men. And not just any random dude. According to a tall girly on TikTok, this is a specific category of men. And before you come for me, I’m NOT HATING ON MEN. I understand that this is not representative of all of them (even the ones in the category). I’m simply providing commentary. Anyways, definitely tune in to this episode for more on this topic!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

Do any other tall girls remember almost always being paired up or grouped with the boys during gym class?  Let me get into this story. So I was in the 9th or 10th grade, I think? We have different units where we do a different activity for a few weeks, then move on to the next activity for a few weeks, and so forth and so on. So at one point in time, it was the basketball unit. I’m sure you know where I’m going with this… There were 3 levels: level 1, level 2, and level 3. Level 1 being for the beginners and level 3 being for advanced players. Now, the gym teacher did know that I played (past tense played) basketball about 2 or 3 years prior. Mind you, there were other girls on the basketball team in that gym class, but I was the only girl placed in the level 3 group…with all of the boys :///Whatever, we were playing, and I’m on defense. This dude…I guess he was turning around, and he literally elbowed me in my face. And proceeds to keep playing like nothing happened. So naturally, I yelped and literally stood on the sideline, deleted. I heard the teacher screaming, “Why were you so aggressive? You wouldn’t do that to a girl, would you?” And the guy was like “no”. And the teacher was like, “Why would you do that? She’s a girl!” And the guy was like, “Oh, I forgot. She’ll be fine.” YOU FORGOT? I’LL BE FINE?? Anyways…. Albeit this was a small and hopefully unintentional thing, this is just one example of rough, aggressive behaviors that some people have toward tall women, and we’re gonna dive deeper into that today, so tune into the episode for more! 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
