tiptoppers? that is one I have heard of.....hope you have some success in finding some tall women to take on a date or two.....I seem to tall for all the women I have dated...but I am just 6'2"

I have friends that are over 6 foot. I have enough trouble with my youngest daughter being 5 foot 9. She is only 16 1/2 but people can be mean to her too about being tall.

Then again, being short doesn't improve things. My middle child is only 5 foot 1. She can kick your ass if provoked but she gets picked on a lot. What doesn't help her is she plays a tuba that is 3/4s her size. Even the school superintendent asked her why she doesn't play the piccolo at her size.

Be happy with your height, I often find myself feeling left out because I'm short. I often hear women talk about how they will only be with men of a certain height or taller than them, and often times I'm around the same height or a bit shorter. I'm not even 6 feet. lol

Yes-exactly-be happy with your height. You are no freak of nature. I would do anything to have more height. I'm a mere 5'0" and HATE it. Never got used to it, even after all these years.

Both my husband and I enjoy being tall - I am 5'10" and he is 6'3"
I wouldn't let anyone dictate how you feel about yourself or your height.

In my town. a) university basketball team ppl R pretty common. b) an often-comical fellow I know, Tall Steve, is on the city council and something of a community leader.

But I wanted to mention : Where I used to live I found a friend... who was 6'4". I felt we had things in common -- but was economically unstable in those times, so, well it was like ships passing/in the early evening.

A woman friend nowadays is 6' , and part of the reason she isn't getting out I think is her tallness. I see women every now and then who seem I think a little isolated --due to tallness .

Will mention dating sites. Of course some of them are not wrth their salt, so.... But I just did a Google search. Of the first 6 links, 5 were of 5 different tall sites. Tall.life is one; it is owned by a 6'7" fellow and altho the requirements to join up seem trivial, I have a hunch extra tall ppl gravitate towards that spot. I googled a wuestion something.like..... dating site "tall owner" ....

A friend had me meet her daughter when i visited the latter's city. The person i met had crushes on a couple pro ball players, imagining they felt a little alienated -- like her . She pro,,ly sent them.fan letters. And when infrequently encountering real lofty guys at parties, she pro'ly went over and hit on them.

Do U live in a city?, or a smaller place....
/I wish you uck my friend

The next time someone teases you about your height or says something disrespectful, remind them that you are tall enough to bop them on top of their head and won't have any problem leaving a knot! Hugs

Since when does a person being tall or short have anything to do with what you should do or be in your life? You can be anything you want to be with permission from no one. Only you matter when it comes to happiness. THERE ARE NO FREAKS! Why don't you start your own club? Just an idea! It doesn't take much to do that. I bet you would be good at comforting other people and helping them get through difficulties concerning these issues. Over weight people, skinny people, deformed people and people from all walks of life have ignorant people saying stupid crap to them. When I was in school I got made fun of for not having nice clothes like the other girls. These types of people will always be around. Hold your head up and be the wonderful person you are. Tonga will change.

LEAVE HIM ALONE FOR BEING TALL YA HATERS! Whatcha jealous? What does it say about you, getting upset that somebody's taller than you? Get a life shorty, you insecure bottom-feeding twat!

I've never heard of any kind of tall club. Maybe something to think about is maybe that people don't intend to hurt you by saying those things. Looking at someone's intent can make all the difference.

There is something to what Alice says. Lots of ppl along the walkways are just looking for a reason to have some human contact. So *that's* normal and good; but th' prob is : mixed in is often the need to put someone down.

Or up.

The ppl we can best admire are able to keep a respectful distance.

So mebe you can sometimes react in a positive way sometimes
But here's the thing : if starting off with , "Yes, I get that a lot." Or. "Um, yes, I hear that often." (more forma.

While you look them over and decide whether they are worth the time of day.

Am trying to think how getting accosted like this can be, depending, a positive thing. 'Cuz it's gonna keep happening.

he has not said anything in long time here...must not matter to him what we say....hugs to ya eric

_ Accosted _ is a useful word.

"Yes, of course. But I heard this just earlier. It's tiring to be ...

(After turning to walk on/)

"...accosted this way." . . . . . . from Caleb; good luck, Dude . . :)

Being tall is a BENEFIT, not a detriment. I'm 5'11" and tower over most of the shorter, squattier people in my area. I don't know how tall you are, but being tall is a GOOD thing. Tallness equates strength and it's easier to change a light bulb. Yes, have a sense of HUMOR about your height. Agree with people when they bring it up, and laugh about it.

By lonely, I take it you mean it's hard to find a mate, one who is close to your height, or if shorter, not intimidated by you? Say "I'm a gentle giant, like Peter Mayhew, who plays Chewbacca".
