People making annoying comments about your height!

The most awkward thing is when I meet a guy taller than me & my friends will call us out & say "You two should date because y'all are tall." Thanks for making things weird guys!!
This is really a ridiculous comment because people say it all the time. Maybe thats why I'm not dating anyone because the ones shorter than me don't want their GF taller then them or my friends scare off all the taller guys with that comment. I just want a nice guy who loves me, I've always said I wouldn't date a shorter guy but maybe I would. LOL0 -
After reading everyone else's stories I'm feeling lucky with the lack of cruel comments said to me, though perhaps because I'm not as tall as you other ladies! (I'm 5'10")
Though I do hesitate to wear heels, especially since the majority of my female friends are much shorter than me, and I dwarf them as it is! (Plus I'm kinda too young to wear heels all that often)
Did anybody else used to slouch when they were younger sub-consciously? As in, when you're standing still you have one knee bent so one side of your hips is lower than the other? Even though I'm not hugely tall I still catch myself doing that sometimes!0 -
I haven't got the basketball comment since high school. (I'm 5’10") But I do get the "did you really need to wear heels? " comment all the time, especially when I'm with my fiance’ (5’ 7"). The one that really bothers me though, and I'm not quite sure why, is when friends are curious about how much I weigh, I tell them, and they respond with "Oh, well your tall" Uhm so tall people aren’t over weight? Its that kind of thinking that helped contribute to my weight issues in the first place. :explode:
This! This! This!
I slowly gained weight in the past few years and people always respond with "Oh, it's because you're tall!". No! I used to weigh less than people shorter than me! It frustrates me quite a lot that people seem to think that because you're taller you automtically weigh more. I know that sometimes is the case, but it still bugs me!0 -
I have a pair of killer espadrille wedges from Nine West in my closet. The movers came 3 months ago to pack all my things so I could leave Fort Hooah (Bragg) and one of the packers took my shoe showed it to his buddies and said "look at this! would you look at this! She's so tall what's she doing wearing shoes like this?" He didn't know I was standing in the room opposite him watching everything he did. Not to mention I wear a size 11 and sometimes a 12 depending on the brand. I always get comments on why would I wear heels when I'm so tall. I say whatever...and rock em anyhow. ;o)0

Personally I like tall women. The tallest woman I ever dated liked to say she was 6' 4" (though actually that might have been an underestimate). She was perfectly proportioned and very fit. A very kind heart. Not afraid of anything but unkind remarks. Of all the women I have known, she still feels like my soul mate.0

There is a woman in the local shop that I go into periodically. EVERY TIME she sees me she says
"oooh, you must suffer from terrible back pain"
It drives me mad - I am not that tall - 5'11" though I do wear three inch heels, but seriously! Grrrr0 -
It can be annoying and used to really bug me but the hell with them. I wear heels now and darn proud of it:happy: the ones that used to annoy me the most by amazon. But I got these two one the same day at work: " Wow your tall, where's the basket ball hoop?" and " Your so tall like screw in the light bulbs tall!" Really? Light bulbs come on lol0

A male co-worker once asked me, "Why do you wear heels when you're already so tall?" To which I replied, "Well, I find that it makes some men feel intimidated. How are you feeling right now?" :laugh:0

I was just in the supermarket and a TOTAL STRANGER walked up to me and said (and I am quoting his exact words)
"I don't know why the *kitten* you are wearing high heels because you are too f*cking tall anyway"
He then walked off, I was left standing there with my mouth hanging open in shock and he shouted back at me
"and I am over six foot myself" and disappeared. What the hell?
and, of course, he was no more six foot than the man in the moon is... what a ****
I have never had anyone actually abuse me before for being tall - and I am only flipping 5'11" - I am SO cross!0 -

What could POSSIBLY make someone so angry about a person's shoe choice?! That's horrible...0 -

They are only two inches! I came home and measured them. Clearly a very angry person with a lot of problems.0 -

A tiny, tiny penis.
Next time, if there is one, yell "Thanks, Shorty!" because he's obviously sensitive about his own height.0 -

:laugh: I didn't look at that particular region of him, but I guess you are right, I probably wouldn't have seen much!0 -
Every so often someone looks at me all bewildered and says, "How tall ARE you?" And I casually reply, "Just 5'9"." And they go on to insist that I must be 6 feet tall. I'm like, "Uhh...nope. 5'9"." It doesn't really bother me much, though. I'll wear heels as high as I can stand it if it suits my fancy. I only get truly frustrated when I can't find pants, skirts, or dresses to accomodate my long legs.
Ditto...exactly! I'm 5'9", or so the doc's office says, but people will argue with me that I must be taller than that and God forbid I throw heels on. It is a luxury to find pants long enough that I can wear heels...so I do, but not often. It isn't like I asked to be this tall, but now we should be punished and not allowed to wear what shoes we want to?! Give me a frickin' break!0 -

Yeah, I love that conversation - "but you MUST be 6'2" at least because I am 6'" Oh no you aren't!0 -
You must watch this, ladies! I'm guessing we've all heard them all. If this link doesn't work, it's on youtube called "**** Everybody says to TALL Girls"
http://youtu.be/pNMllBdAppc. (An acquaintance sent it to me after he questioned my height of 6' since he's 6' and clearly 3 inches shorter than me....and I told him he's likely overestimating other measurements as well.) 0 -
All the time, my husband is 5'4" and I am 6' so we constantly get the stares. I think people think he is my child! People comment all the time too, most of the time I ignore it or just chuckle. Sometimes, when they are rude though I will point out one of their physical flaws and explain to them that I have no control over my height just like they have no control over the size of their "nose" lol not to be mean just to prove a point. My friends all call me their Amazon Princess and sometimes Xena, that doesn't bother me at all. I love being tall, it fits my personality, I would have no idea what to do with a tiny body.
My boyfriend is also five four but I'm 5;11''. still quite a height gap and people do make comments. He calls me his Amazon and he loves that I'm tall. Desperately wants me to wear heals but I can't until I lose some weight. Luckily I look younger than him (I'm four years younger) so we don't get weird comments like that.0 -
"When you guys have a baby, can I have some of its genes to pass on to my children?" ....wow .
LMAO
Dude I'm 5' 11"
I honestly hate being tall. I get annoying comments too. One that gets on my nerves the most, "It's easier for you to look skinny because of how tall you are. Your weight gets spread out more so you can look skinny!"0
