Instead, just read on and commiserate with the struggles common to tall women everywhere.
Pants and sleeves are never long enough
Shopping is the worst.
Even ‘long’ lengths of pants often come with inseams just 34-inches long.
This makes shopping a challenge that all too often results in frustration and poorly-fitting purchases.
Probably not the best bet if you want to keep things even remotely professional.
This includes ‘serious suits,’ as I swim most days."
And Kayfes isn’t alone.
Dance clothes, like leotards and tights are almost impossible to get to fit.
This is kind of a problem when you gotta wear these items for a living.
Yeah, that’s never fun.
Desks, chairs, counters, tables most of them are designed to be ergonomically-appropriate for the average person.
“My desk at work is terribly uncomfortable.
I’m always cracking my knees on it whenever I have a go at cross my legs.
The struggle is real, folks.
The inevitable sports-related questions
I’m almost 35 years old.
The question isn’t mean or harmful.
It’s fine, even.
They’re confident and self-assured.
And at a business meeting, there’s no good response to such a strange action.
And finally, there are some cultural expectations that can actually interfere with a chosen career.
As a professional dancer, LaBonde says, “It’s difficult for me to partner in dance.
Being partnered with someone shorter is difficult and aesthetically, not pleasing.”
It’s not the first time I’ve heard that, either.”
Johnson took a flight to Europe a few years ago and said, “I rode coach.
I swear the airline had us in there like sardines.
That ish was about to get real if she leaned her seat back.”
So yeah, be kind to tall people on flights.
We really do need those extra two or three inches of space.
Bend over or lean in?
The best solution is never clear, and it always looks awkward.
Take this photo of me and two of my friends, for instance.
It’s like the Sesame Street jingle, “Which one of these is not like the others?”
Even crouching and leaning instillhas me towering over my friends.
In my somewhat less-scientific research and polling, I’d say that number is closer to 100 percent.
I’ve literally never met a tall woman who hasn’t had back pain.
I feel for you, girl, I’ve been there.
People seem to police themselves better when talking to an adult, in general.
It’s been decades since someone has idiotically tried to touch the top of my head.
That was theworst."
At the end of the day, conversations are bound to take place.
That said, don’t be a moron.
Tall women hear about their height from everyone they meet.
