I felt awkward in heels when I was a in my late teens early 20's and I love heels (but typically they put at 6ft). My mom kept reminding me, shoulders back, head up, and a smooth glide forward. Also nut to scrunch down and try to hide my height. I accepted and celebrated my height. All my brothers are 6ft -6'5. I fit in okay. :-) but there are things that are just as inconvenient for the very tall as there are for the too short. Like counter and sink heights or toilet stool heights, lol! Most of my brothers had to watch their heads when walking through a doorway.<br /><br /><a href="http://siamckye.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Sia McKye Over Coffee</a> ~Sia McKye~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08470562659597351033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4737013174690278913.post-71628906591240442532014-05-15T10:43:01.874-07:002014-05-15T10:43:01.874-07:00How funny, the very same thing happened to my sist...How funny, the very same thing happened to my sister. She is 5'6" and still very tall for our family. She was very annoyed at having lost her tall status at school when she stopped growing. I still think she is a perfect height as I often feel I would look better in clothes with a couple of more inches and that I could do certain things more easily. But there are always things that work better at certain heights. I guess we all have some advantages.'Yellow Rose' Jasminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12496382898548158316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4737013174690278913.post-19549066088836482212014-05-15T10:38:43.431-07:002014-05-15T10:38:43.431-07:00Yes, you are fairly tall for a woman. And having ...Yes, you are fairly tall for a woman. And having the unique experience of seeing things from another level is actually pretty cool. <br />I come from a family of short people and being 5'4" is rather tall for our bunch. That might be why many people have mentioned to me that they don't realize how short I am until they really think about it. I put off a much taller vibe!'Yellow Rose' Jasminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12496382898548158316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4737013174690278913.post-218851185193215162014-05-15T10:36:16.086-07:002014-05-15T10:36:16.086-07:00It certainly seems to run true that a shorter woma...It certainly seems to run true that a shorter woman/taller man is easier to be than vice versa. I've known a couple of women that I grew up with that are super tall and I know how much they hated it. They both mentioned that never being the 'cute' girly girl was especially tough. And then you have the tough part of dealing with men and their egos....<br />My grandfather went by the nickname 'Shorty'. He was in construction and seemed to embrace his being different. Then again, he was very tough otherwise and his reputation made certain that no one would mess with him.'Yellow Rose' Jasminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12496382898548158316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4737013174690278913.post-37907663587392998142014-05-14T18:16:31.944-07:002014-05-14T18:16:31.944-07:00I was one of the tallest kids in school until I hi...I was one of the tallest kids in school until I hit high school. I remember hating being taller than everyone else. Yet, when I hit high school, I just stopped! I am now 5'5. I don't think I would want to be very tall, but I think I'd prefer it to being very short. <br />I laugh though, because my hubby is 6'3 so I have the advantage of having the tall one around to help me reach everything I can't. <br />I guess being "very" anything can have its good and bad points to it. <br />Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08433530343156355284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4737013174690278913.post-66881811908056531652014-05-14T14:45:29.753-07:002014-05-14T14:45:29.753-07:00Ya know, I didn't realize that I was tall unti...Ya know, I didn't realize that I was tall until after my strokes. After viewing the world sitting in a wheelchair, it was so strange standing and looking down on people. I had been looking up at them ;). I'm only 5' 7.5" but I guess that is tall, or at least feels tall.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4737013174690278913.post-4840115777250655002014-05-14T12:47:43.494-07:002014-05-14T12:47:43.494-07:00As bad as it might be for a man to SUPER TALL, I t...As bad as it might be for a man to SUPER TALL, I think it would be worse to be SUPER SHORT. I am not talking about midgets, though that wouldn't be a picnic, but just regular old short. A guy coming in at 5'1" or something like that. I think I mentioned on my blog that I started taking ballroom dance classes recently. Mostly I attend group glasses and that means dancing with all of the men taking the class. I must say that it is easier to dance with a taller guy than a shorter one. The hold just feels strange when the guy's shoulders are below my own. Of course, I might say it feels equally odd if he were 6'7".... hmm. <br /><br />Now, if I could be just A FEW inches taller, that would be great. I could reach what is on the top shelf in the kitchen. If I have to choose between my current height and being an Amazon... I think I will just stay right where I am.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.com
