What do you do if you're not happy with what God gave you? Well, if it's your boob size, there's plastic surgery. Don't like your face? There's plastic surgery. Too much fat? Plastic surgery.
It seems plastic surgery can fix most image issues except for the lack of height. The strange thing is, the target of bitterness from some of my single friends seems to be tall guys.
My tall and still single girl friends complains that all the short girls have taken all the available tall guys in the market. My short and still single guy friends complains that all the tall guys have taken all the short girls. The tall girls are too self conscious to date the short guys. The short guys are too intimidated by the tall girls to ask them out.
Now what?

I never thought a girl would be embarrassed by being tall o.O I'm short and I've always wished that I could be taller. I mean if you're tall you can be a model! You can reach things short people can't, you have legs that are killer long, and etc. Girls who are tall should embrace themselves. It's beautiful.
And guys who are short should grow some balls and man up. Go ask her out. If you like her enough you will. Who cares if she's taller than you???
There's nothing really to do..
but I'm pretty sure not all the tall guys have taken all the short girls...there's bound to be some short girls around. If they think that, then fine but I'm sure that's not the truth. I'm extremely short..around 4'10" ...and though I always wished to be at least 5 feet..I'm stuck this way. It happens.
You shouldn't be embarrassed by your height at all..and that shouldn't stop them from asking them out just because the women are taller than them. Geez.
I'm 6'2 and height isn't important to me. Well I'd prefer they were shorter than me but I've never met too many taller than myself. But these tall girls need to get some balls to and initiate with the shorter guys as well. Guys shouldn't always have to do all the work.
I think the height issue is a bigger deal for the girls than the guys. I'd date a taller woman, and have, on occasion.
I believe you actually can get surgery to make yourself a few inches taller, but it's painful and risky.
Yeah, you can have them break the bones in your legs and insert metal rods to space things out. Doesn't sound fun. I think it's harder on guys to be short... Napoleonic Complex, anyone?
I'm 5'1 and wished I was taller.... 5'7-5'8. I've been told being female and short is advantageous in the dating world BUT WHAT ABOUT THE CLOTHING WORLD?! You know how hard it is to find pants that fit, that I don't have to hem, where I don't have to be a size 00?! Plus you always get mistaken to be young.
Tall girls want to be short, short girls want to be tall, I think we just have to make peace with it.
Story of my life :( I'm a girl and am 5'8". Booooooo. I don't even really need a guy that much taller than me, same height will suffice. Sigh
I think it's easy to see from the posts here that no matter what you have, any body type has its pros an cons.
If you're short (like me) you have to either shop in the petite section, which can be TOO short, or hem all the pants from the normal section (or wear 3-inch heels with everything.) You can't reach things on the top shelf of anything, you have to wait longer to get tall enough to go on sweet rollercoasters, and many clothing styles are hard to pull off on a shorter frame without those sexy mile-long legs.
My good female friend from college is 6 feet tall. Although she DID play basketball, she got tired of everyone always asking her if she played, like that was the only facet of her personality. (I'm sure lots of tall people who DON'T play get pissed off by that even more.) She had the confidence to ask out shorter guys, but a lot of them were not confident enough with themselves to date her. She had a really hard time finding size 4 jeans with a 38-inch inseam as well! She always had to pay $100 or more to find anything that looked good and not like it came from a big & tall men's store.
It can be awesome yet sucky in a lot of ways, no matter what height you are. The way I look at it, I may never play for the WNBA or get a modeling contract, but apparently men like short girls. I guess it sort of evens out.
Uh, get the fuck over it? I'm 5'11". I've dated men from 5'6" to 6'2". You will be FINE if you are taller or shorter or the same height as your SO.
Trust me, I've been tall forever, and being tall does not mean guys ignore you. Lacking confidence and getting all worked up over things you can't change makes guys ignore you.
I still don't understand why the height issue is a big deal. I'm a tall girl myself (5'11'') and I've always preferred to not worry about dating guys that are shorter than me. I'm quite partial to a much shorter guy than me at the moment, actually (I think he's around 5'7'').
I sincerely hope that someday people will care less about the height gap between a couple. If you love the other person, his or her height should not matter!
Oh, and to all of the shorter men out there, don't be self-conscious about your height. I know many tall women that love to date shorter men.
Now what? You get over it. Seriously, it's not that big a deal.
@Liquid_Pain_523@xanga - That's what I said.
height surgery does exist.... i admit it doesn't use the soft tit implant material.... still i'd rather my bones be extended with hard plastics or ceramics than artificial fat.
I don't see this as an issue.
While I get why guys like shorter girls I don't know why they don't want to date taller girls. If you limit yourselves to a specific body type to look for, your never gonna find them. I mean everyone can have their turn on's and such but you can't say "well if she's taller then me, or If she has short hair I won't date them." Because your never going to be happy. I'd date a taller girl....course they'd have to be over 6'1'' lol.
I'm two inches taller than my boy, but that's okay. I just don't wear heels... If you like him enough, it doesn't really matter.
This is a subject that always pisses me off. I'm 5'7. I consider myself tall-ish, but I mean I still acknowledge that there are plenty of taller girls. I love tall guys and I cannot date someone who is shorter than me. The guy I'm involved with now is my height/looks shorter at times if he's the slightest bit slouching. I hate it. I'm also a bitch sometimes and feel too self-concious walking on the higher side of the sidewalk and ask to switch sides, haha. I love heels and it sucks that I can't wear them with him.
I am tall (a little under 5'8") and I hate it. But I would date a shorter guy if he had an amazing personality and I was attracted to him. (Both have to be true no matter what the guy looks like. I am not dating a guy I am not attracted to just so I can prove something. I think that's just as insulting as turning them down in the first place) I prefer taller men and I am sure I always will. But if I fall for someone who happens to be 5'8" instead of 6'2" then I will still give him a chance.
I don't understand why it's such an issue of the girl is taller than the guy but it's nothing if the guy is taller than the girl. What is the difference, seriously??
I'm short and adorable^^ I talked to this guy who is 6'1" and he said that he prefers short girls because he feels more dominant and likes how she has to look up at him with her puppy dog eyes. I've liked guys close to my height range and taller guys. if he is cute, then he got my attention.
Maybe instead of complaining about not having a taller guy, she should try dating someone shorter and not make height such a big deal. I know we all have preferences, but if you meet a really great and compatible person, will the height really be a dealbreaker?
i think that problem does kind of exist. I don't know many girls who r taller than normal~~ n even if they're tall they're still not taller than average guys so they're ok. However I know there are some girls who are truly much taller than normal ( like 6 ft n above). it is very hard to find guys. I think it would be ridiculous to say they can date the “short guys" because the height diff will be huge!
@DarcKleer@xanga - I think cuz most girls like to feel " protected" by the guy no matter how independent, strong career woman u r. If you r totally ok with dating shorter guys n don't hv the need of being " protected' that's fine, but I think most girls do want that.
@xnotxbeautifulx@xanga - You do realize that the problem is on both sides here? It's not just that the men won't "man up" to ask the taller women, it's also that the taller women shut down the shorter guys.
See, if all the tall girls keep refusing to date a shirt guy, what incentive does the guy have to waste energy pursuing them?
It's a tricky situation.
