Being tall is a great thing- most of the time. We've got legs for miles, and we don't need a step stool to reach the top shelf in the kitchen. Tall girls would never change their height, but there are definitely times we wish we could.
1. "Whoa, you're really tall."
If we had a dollar for every time someone told us that... we'd all be bajillionares. What is an appropriate response to that? Thanks? I know? Clearly we're aware we am tall, you don't need to point it out. We don't walk up to people shorter than us and say, "Whoa, you're really short."
2. "Do you play basketball?"
Just because a girl is over 5'10 does not mean she plays basketball. Maybe if we are wearing a basketball jersey or are huge basketball fan, then that would be a reasonable question.
3. Finding jeans that are long enough and fit in the waist can be close to impossible.
Being older, it is easier now to find jeans in tall sizes or longs, but when we were 12 years old, it was nearly impossible. We were lucky if we found fitting jeans long enough to touch the tops of our shoes.
4. Buying dresses or skirts online is risky.
Every tall girl has experienced an online shopping nightmare when we order a dress after carefully checking the size charts, but when we try it on we look like street walkers.
5. Towering over 90% of men everywhere.
Why are we still single? Well, that is because finding a man who is taller than us is a losing battle. A man exactly our height is okay, but an extra few inches would be nice in case we feel like wearing heels.
6. Wearing heels = towering over everyone, everywhere.
Heels make every girl feel pretty and like she's got her life together. Tall girls aren't any different, except when we were heels, we are taller than everyone. We can only hear people comment on our height so many times until we start to feel self conscious about being a giant. But some of us own it, and that is fantastic.
7. Boob-to-face hugs are normal with your short friends.
Yep. It's just a part of life.
8. Sometimes you have to buy tops that are too big just to ensure they are long enough.
"What size t-shirt do you need?" That question can be one of the most difficult questions of all time. Do we want a tighter fitting shirt that is too short, or a bigger shirt that is long enough? No shrink material is a tall girl's best friend.
9. When someone else calls shotgun so you have to cram into the backseat.
Honestly, if you are riding in a car with multiple people, and one is really tall, just suck it up and sit in the back. Because you can fit back there perfectly, when us tall girls will have our knees smashed into the seat. Especially if it is a two-door car.
10. Finding people in crowds is easy, since you can see over everyone.
We are basically the designated moms, since we are in charge of keeping track of all of our friends in crowds. It can come in handy though, especially when we lose our mom at the grocery store.
People comes in all shapes and sizes; some just happen to be giants. We are just like anyone else, but deep down, every tall girl loves her height.
