I’m a girl who happens to be 1.8 metres tall. I’m proud of my height and I know I’m an intimidating presence. But it also means a lot of guys don’t want to date me.
Hard to find a bf as most guys are shorter than me
It’s hard to find a boyfriend when you’re tall. A lot of guys don’t like the fact that I’m so much taller than them. It’s like they think I’m going to tower over them and make them look small.
I understand why they’d feel that way, but it’s still really frustrating.
I can’t even wear heels on a date without making the guy feel even more uncomfortable. I’ve tried to wear flats, but then it also looks like I am towering over him.
I don’t want to make him feel bad, but it also means I can’t wear the clothes that I feel most confident in.
It’s also hard for me to find clothes that fit. I’m too tall for regular sizes, and if I buy clothes in the tall section, they’re usually too long.
I end up having to get them tailored, which is expensive and time-consuming.
It’s not just the physicality of being tall that makes it hard to find a boyfriend. I think a lot of guys are intimidated by my height and feel like they can’t measure up.
I’m always conscious of how much taller I am than the guys I meet and I don’t want to make them feel bad.
People think I am intimidating because of my height
There’s also a lot of stereotypes about tall girls that I’m constantly trying to fight against. People think tall girls like me are intimidating, unapproachable, and unfeminine.
It’s like I’m expected to fit into a certain box because of my height, and it’s really hard to break out of that.
It’s not impossible to find a boyfriend when you’re tall, but it’s definitely more difficult.
I know I’m not the only tall girl out there who has had this problem, and I’m sure a lot of other tall girls have had similar experiences.
