tall people

Since i have loads of free time today " ponteng school coz they celebrating teacher's day hehe" i took some time to search bout this topic "tall poeple". For most of u who knew me probably know that iam tall that's y i cheack out bout this in the web. Before reading bout this topic online i can truthfully say that iam suffering from low self esteem due to my height however after reading bout all the testimonials from other tall girls and the " good and bad bout being tall" it really helps me a lot to build back my self confidence!

here are some advantages N disadvantages of being tall :

GOOD points
1.As a tall person you are easier to remember than shorter people.

2.As a tall person you have an advantage against an aggressor ( longer arms, larger hands)

3.As a tall person you are simply more interesting than average ( hmmm not really...)

4.As a tall Person, you have the chance to play for the Dream Team or to be a good volleyball player. If the question "Do you play basketball?" gets on your nerves, you can respond: "No, do you play miniature golf?" ( this is a good one since almost everbody ask me this questions)

5.Being tall means you can do things which a shorter person can't do: For example grab something from a high place

6.You cover distances faster when walking

7.Your height can give you better views of things such as parades ( so true but really feel bad that i block the people behind me i bet the people behind me will be shouthing " hoi panjang dahlah tinggi dirila kat belakang!!")

8.When standing in a crowd, as a tall one you get to breathe fresh air

9.You can always see the movie screen

10.As a tall person you can reach all the items in a grocery store

11.You can get onto every ride in a theme park

12.Being tall means you can bug your friends about the dirt on the top of their refrigerator

13.Being tall allows you to change lightbulbs and perform other such mainteanence tasks with ease.

14.Longer arms makes paying road tolls easier.

15.As a tall one you can gain 10 - 15 pounds overnight and nobody will notice

16.As a tall woman you get admired from many men ( huh? u sure???)

BAD points

1.Being tall causes problems in finding clothes that fit. ( totally agree in it!!! )

2. Other items of clothes such as shoes become a big expense

3.A tall one always pays more for extra length in pants

4.Legroom in planes,coaches,desks and cars becomes a problem. ( tell me about it....)

5.Being tall means that you often must sleep in a bed that is too short ( thank god that my bed is still longer than me hehe )

6.As a tall person it means that wecook our meals at a kitchen-range that is too low

7.A tall person must live with the fact, that shorter people are often reluctant to start conversation with a taller man or woman. ( i still remeber there is one girl who is so afriad of me at first because iam so much taller then her but the truth is iam not that scary ok?!)

8.A tall person has to duck his head will going through the most doors, or suffer the consequences

Things not to say to / ask a tall lady:


Don't use the classic phrase: "Do you play basketball?"

Don't call her a "Giantess!"

Don't ask her for her height when you first meet / e-mail her.

Don't ask her for her shoe-size when you first meet / e-mail her.

Don't ask her for other measurements like waist, chest, hand-size etc.

Don't ask her if she has got a taller sister / mother / daughter.

Don't ask her to stand in the door-frame in order for you to take a picture - at least not on your first date.

Don't try and hide behind her back if there is some trouble brewing up. Tall ladies enjoy the feeling of being protected too ( so true tall people doesn't mean they are brave u know...)

"Are you really that tall? (NO! I'm really standing on stilts!)"

"When first meeting people they say, "WOW!! You'll tall!" (Hey! Tell me something I don't know!! [rolling eyes]!!)"


so that's all i juz wanna share wat i read in the web which i think its interesting for me if some of this might offend u i humbly apologise.
