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 :

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

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....)

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]!!)"
