tall girl. short boy

Anonymous asked: What do I do if I'm a 5'7" girl That really likes a boy that's under 5 feet? It's a huge difference. And we always get criticized for liking each other, and aren't dating because we don't know how it would work out hugging, holding hands, kissing, etc. what should I do???

You should think about what actually matters to you: what other people think of you, or what YOU think of you? Because I can guarantee you that there’s always going to be someone who has something to say. So you can live your life constantly trying to make others’ happy while sacrificing your own self, or you can realize that only YOU hold they key to your happiness, and you’ve only got one chance to live your life. If the guy makes you feel good about yourself, then by all means, explore that. It’s pretty baffling that we as a people would chose to be miserable over being happy, just because of a few inches…

Anonymous asked: This might be stupid but I'll ask it anyways. I'm like 5'6.25 in the morning and like 5'5.5" and night. Would it be wrong to say I'm 5'6"? I don't know why this bothers me so much bet it kills me to round up or down. Idk...ahhh. I don't want someone being like "no, you aren't 5'6" Fuckkkkk. I'm not a bad looking dude or anything, I just wish I was a tad bit taller sometimes. Sigh :/

Could you say “I’m 5’5/5’6”? that way you are acknowledging that you are aware of your height, and that it doesn’t really matter much to you? So you can move on to more important topics of conversation

Anonymous asked: Hello there! :) I just wanted to let you know that this blog has made me feel so much more comfortable about my relationship. I'm 5'9" dating a guy who is 5'6". At first I thought it would be awkward, but after hanging out with him every day, it doesn't even phase me anymore. I thought that people would judge us harshly because of our height difference, and that I'm the taller one, but they don't. Thank you for creating this blog to encourage us taller girls to do what makes us happy :)

Thank you so much for writing us :) I love to hear of well adjusted people in healthy relationships! You guys should be proud! And I love to hear that the people around you are supportive, because not everyone has that. Cherish each other and the people in your corner, and you can only be happy!

Anonymous asked: I am so thankful I found this blog. I recently got into a relationship with a great friend of mine and I couldn't be happier. I was worried at first since he is Korean, while I am a pasty white girl. I knew people wouldn't accept the interracial aspect of it, but luckily I have not run into any problems. However, I'm 5'6", him 5'4", and people are making the biggest deal about it. This blog shows me it isn't a big deal and I'm glad this blog is making me more comfortable with it. Thank you!

Why do people feel the need to comment on others’ relationships? It’s so weird to me. On the plus side, haters gonna hate, and we know that, so it’s easier to remind ourselves that our opinions are the ones that matter.I really wish the best for you two, we will break these social norms, one tgsb couple at a time!

glitterrainbowdancingfishy asked: I recently got asked to our school ball by a guy shorter than me. He's awesome, and we're great friends so saying yes was easy, but i was kinda worried about the height difference, and what people would say. Im 5'9 and he's about 5'5. Reading this blog has made me realise that im going to have a great time because im with him so it doesnt matter what others think, and given me confidence to wear what ever size heel i like. Thanks heaps for your help! Keep up the words of wisdom :) <3

<3 So awesome!! I’m so glad to hear that this blog is changing the way people think. You have every right to be happy and let loose! I know you will have an amazing time, please take pictures for us! Thank you for sharing!

This is my boyfriend and me. I’m 6’1 and he’s right around 6’0. It’s not a big difference but I’m still definitely taller than him. From the very beginning he said it didn’t bother him that I was a bit taller. I always used to think I’d end up with someone taller than me and that dating a shorter guy was unacceptable but really, I don’t even notice. It hasn’t caused any problems at all. I don’t even notice unless I see a picture of us or look in the mirror. And even then we just look like two people that love each other for reasons other than our height.

**SUBMISSION** Thank you so much! You are definitely right! All I see are two happy people <3 Thank you for sharing

Anonymous asked: wow what the hell? i just recently stumbled upon this blog and i'm surprised to find that so many girls actually want to go for guys shorter than them? this makes me feel more relieved and less like a guy with some sort of a dangerously contagious disease. loving this blog, keep it up!

Hell yes! :D One thing I’ve learned from running this blog is WE ARE NOT ALONE! We all have insecurities, and we all deserve someone who makes us feel them a little less. Thank you for checking us out!

Anonymous asked: Hey... So I'm just under 6 foot. A coworker of mine I really awesome. He is hilarious and absolutely perfect in so many ways. I have a great time with him. The only problem is that he's 5'6" .... Would that ever even work? :( it makes me really sad to think I could have met a guy who could make me so happy... But he is wayyyyyyy shorter than me :/ advice? Be honest

My advice is to not discount someone because they don’t fit your mental image of the perfect mate. Height is something no one has control over. How would you feel if one of your physical attributes was a deal breaker for him? And no matter how sweet/witty/awesome you are, he just couldn’t date you because of ________? Whatever it may be, if you look at it from his perspective, he wouldn’t want to be discarded over something that really is very trivial. Give him a chance and ignore what you *think* a couple should look like. To me a couple should look like a pair of people who couldn’t be happier with one another, no matter their size.

unscrupulousmania asked: Is it too big of a difference for a six foot girl to date a five six guy?

Never! Be proud of who you are!

Thanks for the suggestion Anon!

Anonymous asked: Im 6'0 tall an 16 years old and the guy im talking to, were about to date, is 19 and 5'9. Hes a model for Hollister now and hes really attractive but so so insecure. He says that the height between us doesnt bother him, he said hes never dated a taller girl because most girls like tall guys & most guys like short girls... anyways, we are really close and we still havent met in person, do you think ppl will look at us weird? or will kissing and hugging be weird? ah help

Well, I do want to say one thing, if it’s an internet thing, just please be careful, you never know who is on the other side of the screen, and until you meet someone in person, take everything they say with a grain of salt. Aside from that, I understand that it can be hard to be in a relationship that calls so much (often negative) attention to you. You have to be there for him, support him and remind him of all of his amazing qualities Try as hard as you can to be comfortable in your own skin, that will help :) Good luck!

Anonymous asked: heyy I'm 5'9 and my bf is 5'8. sometimes you can notice the height difference and sometimes we look the same height. I rarely feel self conscious but there are those moments...

For sure!! That’s about how it is for me. Most of the time I don’t care, plus we love the fact that neither of us have to bend to kiss, but there are days I want to feel small and dainty, even in heels, but it’s not really possible. I love him though, our relationship is worth it.
