    Well I have a boyfriend.

    However, before I got together with him, I had dated another guy who ended up breaking up with me because his friends teased him because he was 2 inches shorter than me.

    Really? Fascinating

    As to your ex... What a cock!

    Just out of curiosity because you're a tall girl, would you consider going out with someone who was slightly below average? I just wonder if there is a 'double standards' in practise going on :confused:

    Yeah I'd go out with a guy shorter than average. I had a crush on a guy who was about 5 inches shorter, but he made it clear he wasn't interested, because I was so much taller.

    His loss.

    No problem, one of the reasons why that I'm so determined to help people is because I am aware of just how much people are going through, and to effectively pay back the people who have helped me through so much.

    The very fact we've all helped you has made my day, so, thank you

    Would it be possible for you to send me a personal message, or is there some way that I can contact you? I would like to try and chase this up further

    Im a girl and im 5ft11, at first my height never bothered me at all I dont know whether this was because my friends always knew i was tall and knew me as the tallest and nobody never said anything cruel or nasty, all my male friends didnt care that i was taller than them and my ex boyfriend was 6ft anyway so we were near enough the same height. Its only the past year really that i have started to hate my height

    im 20 and now that im out of collage people have said cruel nasty things, i get called lanky because im thin aswell, and ive had boys call me the freak. My friends said i shouldnt care as 5ft11 although tall is not uncommon for a women now days. I dont wear heels, i slouch to try shorten myself, i wear baggy trackies and wont wear shorts or skirts as they make my legs look longer, i feel like the ugly giant, i see all these gorgous 5ft3 girls and wish i was their height, some guys ive dated havent cared that im a good 3 inches taller than them, but im embarssed by my height i cant do anything about it but its got me down, i wish i was a bit shorted even like 5ft8 would be perfect.


    Boys would a girl being 5ft11 make her ugly to you and less attractive?
    I'm really short as a guy so it's kind of the other end of the spectrum but I can empathise and honestly anyone that gives you a hard time about it is pathetic and not worth your time.

    I don't think that being tall makes you less attractive at all, I dated a girl that must have been about your height and it was a bit weird due to the huge height difference but it certainly didn't make me any less attracted to her, I just felt a bit awkward. If someone really likes you then it won't matter to them - there are thousands of guys the same height or taller than you anyway

    Don't let it bother you, there are so many worse things that you could be, please don't let it upset you
