Why do people tell me they wish they were as tall as me?

I’m 5’11” 3/4 and I HATE being tall. It sucks sometimes but they’re are great things about being tall. One of the ladies that I met in a school I applied for asked how tall I am and I told her I’m 5’11” 3/4. She said, “Nooo you look taller then that. More like 6ft or 6’1” you’re lucky. I wish I was as tall as you. I’m only 5’5”.
Why do most women want to be as tall as me? Most men don’t even want tall women and prefer petites or average height women. Even my older sister wishes she has my height and tells me I should embrace it because I have what most women wish they had and taller people get taken more seriously and can do more.
I wish I was like 5’8 or 5’4” my sister is 5’2” 1/2

I was told by a friend (yeah, right) in HS that girls didn't want to date me because of my height (6-1). I grew another 3 inches after HS. The tallest woman I dated was about 5-3. I eventually married a woman that was 5-zip. I think there's something whereby shorter women desire height. Maybe that is unconsciously seen as an asset as a provider. In that same way, probably further seen as an attribute to being more independent and self-sufficient.

At any rate, it wasn't because I wouldn't date taller women, it was simply the fact most women were average height or so, and shorter women were more inclined to show an interest in me.

I think most women associate tall women with models. Being tall has advantages. :)

@LaylaTheTallGirl Yeah, always being reminded of it can be tough. That sucks. Tell people to keep their comments to themselves.

@SW-User I wish but then again, I’ll look ridiculous. I hate when people make harsh comments about my big feet and I’m a girl.

@LaylaTheTallGirl You'll never look ridiculous for setting boundaries. Are you autistic? Or do you know someone with autism?

You shouldn't fuss about such things

@SW-User Why shouldn’t I? My petite friends complain about not reaching shit or don’t get taken seriously. Men like petite, we’ll most.

@LaylaTheTallGirl men like any height. Including dwarfs.

@SW-User then why are they intimidated to taller or bigger women? Petite and average size women look better and they said they’re more feminine. I’ve been told I look masculine and I should have been born a boy.

Being tall as a woman can be hard. But as you say, there are good things about it too. Since you can't change it, finding ways to make it work for you is worth the effort. And there are men who either like tall women or better yet care more about them as a person. Those are the guys you (heck all of us) really want🙂

tall women always catch my eye in a good way
if you have a slim athletic slender figure, you can look more attractive than many girls who are shorter than you
