She's all legs...

Just one of the many comments I get about my height... I'm a tall women, 6ft1 to be exact. As you grow up you acquire a weird set of skills or a way of coping with stuff that happens throughout life. Things are always going to be different and that is either a good thing, or bloody annoying.


1. You have become very good at guessing a guys height from his tinder profile. "Hmmm... I'm going to say 5ft11 *swipes left* 2. You're used to paying AT LEAST £50 for a pair of jeans. Cheaper 'tall' jeans always end up riding on your ankles. Ain't nobody got time for that. 3. You bang your knees on EVERYTHING. Seriously. You've become immune to the pain it happens at least three times a day on your desk alone. Knee pads for our birthdays? 4. There never seems to be any of your size shoes in the shop. They either just don't stock them or there has been a group of tall women raiding the shelves. Let's be honest it's probably the latter as we grab them when we can! 5. Dating is always a bit of a nightmare. We try and tell ourselves we'd be happy with someone who is shorter but when it comes down to it... we aren't. 6. Everywhere you go you get the dreaded "oooo you're tall aren't you?!" This always seems to come from the older generation. You just have the almost robotic polite response of "yes, yes I am" but we all want to give a really sarcastic response. One day... 7. No matter where you are in a crowd you'll be picked out. I mean this is great for gigs, we can see everything. But when you see your ex and you want to hide... good luck with that. 8. You've always been referred to as tall and it annoys you a little. Why not another adjective? Kind? Funny? Intelligent? These seem to be forgotten about when you're tall... 9. You forget how tall you are. Now I know this sounds stupid but let me explain. We're so used to standing head and shoulders above everyone else. So when you see a photo of you and your friends you're shocked when you actually are a lot taller than everyone... 10. We've learnt to embrace it. Despite all it's pains there are loads of great things about being tall.

Any more? Let me know!
