It’s no secret that there are people in a tall woman’s life who can make her insecure, and this can be either growing up, in their adult life, or both stages.
And I think I did a few episodes regarding each group or some of these groups of people. We have our peers, especially growing up, whether it’s our classmates, teammates, or “friends” calling us those weird, annoying names and asking dumb questions like “How’s the weather up there?”
We also have the adults like teachers, coaches, or even strangers making assumptions about us or staring at us because of our height.
Then, we have family members, the ones who are supposed to always have our backs but pick us apart and make horrible self-comparisons.
And then we have men. And not just any random dude. According to a tall girly on TikTok, this is a specific category of men. And before you come for me, I’m NOT HATING ON MEN. I understand that this is not representative of all of them (even the ones in the category). I’m simply providing commentary. Anyways, definitely tune in to this episode for more on this topic!

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's no secret that there are people in a tall
woman's life who can make her feel insecure, whether it's
growing up or in her adult life, or even in
both stages. And I'm pretty sure I did a couple
episodes on this podcast regarding each group or some of
the groups. First, we have our peers, especially growing up,
whether it's our classmates, teammates, or even quote unquote friends
(00:22):
calling us these weird, annoying names or asking dumb questions
like how's the weather up there. We also have the
adults in our lives, like teachers, coaches, or even strangers
making assumptions about us because of our height or giving
us weird stares. Then we have our family members, the
ones who are always supposed to have our backs, but
(00:43):
they pick us apart and make horrible comparisons. And then
we have men. And no, not just any random dude,
according to a tall girl on TikTok, is a specific
category of men. And before you come for me, no
I'm not talking about all men. I know it's not
all men or anything. I'm simply just provided my opinion
slash some commentary on a TikTok video that we're going
to get into a little bit later, so let's get
(01:06):
into it. Good morning, everybody. You are currently listening to
a Tall Girls podcast hosted by a tall girl named India.
I hope everyone who's tuning in today is doing super fantastic.
Before I get into this episode, I do want to say,
make sure you're following me on my socials at a
Tall Girls podcast, on Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest, so that
(01:27):
you could say up to date on all of the
latest podcast episodes and catch a glimpse of my everyday life. Also,
feel free to leave me a review and let me
know how tall you are. I'm genuinely curious. I also
have a monthly newsletter, make sure you subscribe to that.
Everything is going to be linked in the description. And
before I get into this episode, I do just want
to say, I mean, for you guys, it may just
(01:49):
be coming out of nowhere because I don't really talk
about my personal life like that on this podcast or
a definitely not on my socials like at all, or
like that I should say, but I just want to say,
make sure you check up on the ones closest to you.
Make sure you check up on your friends, make sure
you check up on your family members and see how
they're doing, and don't forget to give them a hug
(02:10):
and you know, tell them that you love them and
all that stuff. Because, yeah, just interesting things going on
in my personal life. Found out some very devastating news,
and so I just kind of wanted to provide that
reminder in lieu of in light of I think, in
light of finding out this devastating news. I don't want
(02:34):
to share too much about it, but that is really
all I'm gonna say. Okay, so today we are talking
about men. That is such an odd thing to say. Well,
we're actually talking about a specific category of men, and
this category has to do with height. It's basically height related,
and that category of men may play a huge role
(02:56):
in tall women's insecurities and may play a part in
the height standards that are set upon us, I guess
in society, well set upon everybody, truthfully. And I'm also
going to be discussing how these high standards are kind
of out of control for both men and women, and
how they're playing a part in our self esteem and
how honestly we're making each other insecure with these height standards.
(03:19):
But first, let's take a LISTA to the TikTok that's
inspiring this episode.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
That tall woman's biggest hater is not other women, now,
it is a man who is just a little bit
shorter than her. Clock it clock it every single time
I've been out on the weekend looking good, and some
guys like subtly trying to neg me about how tall
I am, or like win, I'm wearing heels five eleven
to six feet five eleven to six feet, I'm six
(03:44):
to one okay, and they're always like, no way, you're six'.
ONE i am, Sorry i've been measured like so many.
Times you should try measuring yourself without shoes.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
On, honestly before we get into a response to, THIS
i just want to say nothing is funnier than when
someone Most i'm a, man is trying to convince you
that you don't know how tall you. Are it's always the,
oh you can't possibly be that hYP Because i'm that
height and you're taller than. Me, like, sir next, time
take measurements without your shoes, on and if you're a,
short tall girly like, me you have most likely gotten
(04:15):
something like that before or been in a situation similar to.
That i'm talking for the folks who are around like five,
ten five, eleven maybe even six feet but like me
as a little over five to ten, girly as a
five ten, girly a little over five ten. GIRLY a
lot of people and eighty five percent, MEN i will say,
(04:36):
that are constantly questioning If i'm actually five. Ten they're, like,
oh like what do you? Mean Like i'm five? Ten
or oh what do you Mean i'm five eleven and
you're like a little bit taller than?
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Me like?
Speaker 1 (04:48):
What so they want to stand back to, back they
want to compare heights all of that, stuff and it's, like, stop.
Dude there was just like this TikTok. Video it was
of a tall girl who was talking about like WHY,
i as a tall, girl lie about my, height lie
about being taller when in society's eyes is? Better, no
when in society's eyes it's worse for me to be.
(05:10):
Tall why WOULD i lie about being taller when it
wouldn't even benefit? Me does that make? Sense so it's
kind of like that, situation like why why WOULD i
lie about something like? That but, honestly when it comes
to the comparison of, heights like what does it even?
Matter like being an inch or two, taller a few centimeters,
taller like, nobody like, nothing nothing bad is gonna happen
(05:33):
to anyone with that height. Difference but, honestly it's almost
treated like a, competition you, know like a battle of the,
heights like who's taller than, who who's the taller? One
and it's, like why.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Is this the?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Case why is it even that? Deep? Now the creator
of the video THAT i played before made a follow
up video to that one in response to one of the,
comments And i'm going to play that.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Here SO i made a video the other day about
how a tall woman's biggest hater is a man that's
a little shorter than, Her And i'm going to explain
my theory on WHY i think that, is.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
BECAUSE i think it goes way beyond.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
THIS i think there's a lot more nuanced that a
lot of people don't think. About and, HONESTLY i think
it all comes back to the fact that we care
way too much about.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
How tall a man. Is we are constantly telling.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Men you ain't worth shit unless you're six feet, tall
no one wants to date, you which is mean and.
Weird we keep raising that, bar raising that, bar raising that,
bar now it's six' five finance. Blue eyes any man
under five to seven is a la. Boo boo we
hate on. Short men we gas, like them saying we love,
short kings but we. ACTUALLY don't i could do a
(06:34):
completely separate video about women posturing, on here, BEING like
i would never date a man under. Six feet when
we give men clout and we call them desirable for
something that they have not worked for or have any
sense of, control over it messes with THEIR mental a
lot of them have massive egos undtable and that cutoff
(06:54):
that we have six feet tall is. So unrealistic and
men in or on each, other too because tall men
want to. Feel superior so when you've internalized, these, IDEAS
oh i have to be taller than a girl for
her to. Like ME will i walk in the room
and he has nothing to offer me in.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
His mind it doesn't matter if that's true. Or not he.
Has nothing and so now come. The jokes now Come
the oh you, PLAYED basketball i bet you have no
trouble reaching the top shelf while you're. Wearing, heels haha
you're already, So tall leave.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Me alone but then we get to. The nuance the
guys that are. Nugging me are not any guy that's shorter.
Than me it's just guys that are around my height
a little. Bit shorter why is that nothing hurts more
than almost qualifying, For something and that's why you don't
see men that are like significantly shorter than me hating.
On me, in fact short guys are some of my.
(07:46):
Biggest cheerleaders and now for some, more NUANCE because i
think the Fact that i'm, six' one these guys that
are just a little bit, shorter than me they are
in that, six foot club the one where, women, tell
them oh now you're. Worthy of dating they are probably
used to looking down.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
On short men i'm not. A short, king, don't worry
baby you can wear. HEELS with. ME i CAN'T i,
mean I could and I would. And i, will but
like you're.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Gonna be, shorter than me and that bothers them because
again we, on short men we.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Say they, are not masculine they are.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Not worth DATING and now i walk in the room
and now the tables are turned and they are the
thing that they.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Make fun of they.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Are the labubu and now they're gonna take it out
On me because i'm not just tall. FOR a girl, i,
am TALL tall and i am disrupting their sense of
identity and what they have, to offer women and somebody
secure is going to experience, That, and, GO okay well
i have a lot of other things. To offer her
i'm still going to, talk To her and i'm still
going to, show up confident but. Some people don't my
(08:44):
point in saying all this isn't to like bash people
or shame, people OR whatever but i do think it's
important for everyone to kind of understand like where this
behavior is coming from and look within themselves men and
women to try to like.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Stop doing it like let's just be. So for real
height does not. Matter that much it.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Should not matter this is something that is so irrelevant
to someone's character that it is actually shocking to me
why people.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Care so much so that's my two.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Cents on this let me know if you think this,
is ON point because i think.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
There's something here.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
So in essence it kind of seems like what she's
saying is that the above, average HEIGHT men and i
think is above AVERAGE height because i think the average
height of a MAN in the us at least is
like five nine or. Something like that so if we're
talking about like, the five, ten five eleven maybe. Six
feet guys those are like above average height in terms of.
(09:39):
A man's hype, but in essence these above average hype
men are tall. Women's biggest haters that's basically. What, she's
saying no it's not. The taller man no it's not.
The shorter men it's the around average height above. Average
height men though in, my personal opinion all types of
heights and all types of genders and all types of
people honestly have the capacity to make. Us feel insecure but,
(10:03):
in her opinion she's thinking that the biggest haters are
the above average height or around. Average hype men and
essentially this is the case because they are barely. Missing
the mark they are LITERALLY just, below i guess the
qualifications of being considered desirable or being, considered that guy
(10:23):
like you know that that girl so being, considered that
guy and so essentially it seems like from in my
personal opinion and kind of like taking from what, the
creator said those type of people are considered a tall
women's biggest hater, because of that because they're barely, missing
the mark or because they're not, they don't qualify and
(10:45):
they just barely, miss that qualification and it kind of
goes back to the high standards of that's kind of
like instilled in, us that oh a guy has to
be at least six feet tall or over six feet
tall to be considered. Desirable and day and so, it
seems like kind of, what and listen Correct me, if
i'm wrong let me know in the comments or let ME.
(11:05):
Know the dms it seems like what she's saying is
that the men that are, around those height the around
average height or above, average height men it seems like
they necessarily believe that they don't have something to offer
women that, They're attracted to like they feel like they
have to be taller than the women that they, are
attracted to and because they just barely, miss that mark
(11:28):
they're kind of. Pressed about it they don't have something to.
Offer the women it kind of disrupts their sense of
identity and, sense of masculinity and they feel the need
to take it out of the tall, girl because oh
your height. Is outing me oh your height is making
me feel some. Type of way oh your height is
making me feel less worthy. Or less masculine and because
they're pressed about it and maybe even, insecure about it
(11:51):
that's when the sly remarks and the comments. Come into
play so that's Kind of what i'm taking. From her
analysis that's Kind of what i'm, Taking from her and
it also kind of seems like other men could be.
TO blame specifically i believe she said in the video
that taller men are looking down on the men who
(12:11):
ARE shorter or i guess like shorter than them or
not part of that six foot club and going back
kind of to the point where it kind of disrupts
their sense of identity or. Sense of masculinity is kind
of like still with, that, idea that oh men are supposed.
To be tall men are supposed to be like six
feet or over. Six feet tall so when a tall woman,
comes into play especially a woman who's like six feet or,
(12:32):
over six feet they kind of look at that, and they're,
Like oh wow like it's not supposed to. Be this
way she's not supposed to be that tall or at least.
Taller Than me like i'm supposed to, Be that tall
i'm supposed. To be taller i'm the one who's part
of the six foot. Club or whatever and there was
a comment under one of this creator's videos saying, us
six too and over men bully the five eleven friends
(12:54):
too harshly for not. Being SIX feet so i guess
the taller men are to blame or at least taking
ability and kind of know what they're doing and kind
of know that this is occurring because of. WHAT they're
doing i guess it's kind of like A, thing of.
Haha you're close you thought, that you ate but you
didn't because you're, just barely there but. You're not there so, it's,
almost like oh it's almost kind of a, thing of
(13:16):
like let's say you're in like your final semester of college, and,
it's Like yes like, I'm in FINALS like all i
have to do is pass THESE finals and i will
Be free and I'll graduate and i'll move on. With
my life and then it's kind of like you have
that one biology teacher that kind of just like ruins
it for you and, the entire class, and it's like
out of, all the finals you pass all of, your
(13:37):
other finals and you take that one biology final and
you fail it and you're stuck there. For another semester
it's kind of, LIKE that. Feeling i guess so here.
Is my observation the high standards are getting, out. Of
control y'all we have the people who only want partners
who are like a foot, shorter than them the ones
who want a partner who's in finance and is six
(13:57):
or five with. A trust fund like, at this point
the expectations are kind Of unrealistic and i'm not. Gonna
lie though back to the point of the men in
the six foot club that are kind of bullying or
making the above average height men like the, five nine ers,
five ten ors five eleven. Ers feel bad it's, kind
of similar, not as CRAZY honestly as i guess, the
(14:21):
men's side but some tall women are kind of like
that in terms of the six, foot, club thing like
particularly with the. Short tall girlies the tall girlies whose
height starts, with a five is honestly annoying when, some,
people say oh you're not tall if your height doesn't start,
With a SIX like what i struggle. TO find clothes
i get a lot of, the HEIGHT comments and i
can reach the off off of, very high shelves like
(14:43):
as a five. To ten girly where exactly does?
Speaker 2 (14:45):
That?
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Put me now switch in gears. A little bit i
stumbled across a video basically saying, that men will specifically,
the shorter ones are the reason that some tall women.
Hate being tall i'd love to hear your. Thoughts on
this i'm gonna play the video right now.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Speaking of insecurity that men have given women for. ABSOLUTELY
no reason i will never understand why girls. Hate being
tall LIKE every time i meet a tall girl, AND
she's like i, Hate being tall i'm so like, clinky
and like oh my friends are, so Like petites, and
i'm like who put this idea? In YOUR head and
i realize. That it's men. It's short men, oh my god. Tallman,
(15:20):
HER goddesses.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Now i don't know how this necessarily ties into the
first creator's point of the, slightly shorter ones the above,
average height guys the just barely, not qualifying ones because
the way that the creator and THE video that, i
just played the way that that, creator said it she
made it seem like it was the. Extremely short ones
(15:44):
so my question to you is who do you think
is more of the culprit the ones who are slightly
above average around the average height, of a man or
the ones who are significantly shorter than. THE average height.
I don't know it can come from any and everyone
but in, my personal opinion the one common denominator is
that they're insecure, about their height whether, they're above average,
(16:06):
whether they're tall whether, they're very short one way, or
the other they are insecure, about their heights and that's
why they take it out. On, TALLER women anyways i
know that that was kind.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
OF a lot.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I don't, Know i mean i'm not going to TRULY
know until i edit, this ALL together but i don't
know if all of this like made sense. OR comes,
Together i mean I'm pretty sure i'm going to try
my best to make it, all Come together but i'm
just gonna do a little wrap. Up right, now so
basically what's, being said here especially from the first creator
and what her points are the above, average height men
(16:40):
the ones who are slightly shorter than, that tall women
especially the ones who are slightly shorter than a six
foot six one six. Y two women those men are tall.
Women's biggest haters why because they are just, BARELY not,
qualified i guess barely not qualified to be considered attractive to,
(17:01):
that tall woman to, be considered masculine to, be considered worthy,
and so forth because they're just almost there but not
quite and they're, mad about that they're pressed about it because. Of,
height standards honestly what the taller men as even in
the comment from earlier, in the video the taller men
are bullying them for not Being six, Foot, they're like haha,
(17:24):
you're almost there but you're just, not quite there and
you just barely. Miss the mark so you're. Just not
worthy you're. Just not masculine you're just not desirable or
datable because. You're not there, almost you try but. You're
not there but also even the standards placed on women in,
the dating world saying that they want someone who's six
foot a six y' one over six four. And so
(17:46):
forth it's getting a little bit intense at that point
because the amount of people in the world, just in
general men and women that are over. Six feet tall
it's like it's. Not that high and then the, taller
you go the less and, less there are YOU know.
WHAT i, mean i mean so those high standards are
really just playing a part. In their insecurities they, Don't
feel worthy they feel like they have nothing off to
(18:08):
offer that woman because they are not. TALLER than her
i guess they don't consider themselves to be masculine because
they are not, taller than her they're not part of the.
Six foot club and because they're oppressed that they're not
part of the six foot, club almost there, but not
quite they take it out on the tall women by
by giving her these rude looks or doing these, crazy
(18:31):
high comparisons, the sly comments, the sly remarks, and so
forth and they're just trying to make her insecure because
they're insecure and feel bad about themselves because they're not
part of the eight group of the six. Foot and
overmen does? That make sense it kind of makes. Sense.
To me honestly i'd love to hear your thoughts on,
all of this but can we all just agree? On
(18:52):
one thing can we all just agree that being a
tall woman is a flex, like no tin no shade
to the shorter. Folks, out there okay, y'all are amazing
but being tall as a woman. Is, Chef's kiss anyways
i'm going to end. The episode here thank you so much.
FOR tuning in i, really APPRECIATE it and i appreciate.
You of, course as always feel free to hit me
up on my Socials At A tall girls podcast and
(19:13):
let me know what you thought. About this episode do
you agree that it's the above, average heype men the
ones who are slightly shorter than. The tall women do
you agree that those type of men are the biggest
haters of tall women and try to make, them feel
insecure or do you think, it's other factors, other tall,
women other women, significantly shorter, men taller. Men everybody themselves
(19:38):
do tall women make? THEMSELVES feel insecure i mean to,
a certain degree we. Kind of DO that's something i
might discuss. In another, Episode we'll, see WE'LL see but
i definitely want to hear your thoughts on. All of
this i'm. Not GONNA lie when i first heard that
creator like talking about it, AND explaining it i was a,
Bit confused myself BUT over time i let IT process
IN gel and, i, was, LIKE oh okay i can
(19:59):
kind of to see where. She's coming from but this
episode was really just like some type of commentary or opinion,
Based on, THAT and honestly i kind of agree with
her to. A CERTAIN degree but i just, think that overall, whether,
they're tall, short, above average average, whatever it is it's
always the insecure one trying to make. Other people insecure that's.
My personal, opinion so essentially, If, she's saying oh it's
(20:23):
the above average average type men, that are insecure, and
they're insecure and they're trying to make the tall women
feel insecure. Because THEY'RE insecure then i definitely agree, with
THAT point but i know it's not all of, them
for sure but definitely. An INTERESTING take so i want
to hear your thoughts, on that, take and yeah comment
if you're on YouTube or whatever podcast platform you're audio podcast,
(20:46):
platform you're on or you can SEND me a dm
let's chat and let's have a. Conversation about it, and uh,
YEAH until then i will catch out on. The next
one good. Night and goodbye
It's no secret that there are people in a tall
woman's life who can make her feel insecure, whether it's
growing up or in her adult life, or even in
both stages. And I'm pretty sure I did a couple
episodes on this podcast regarding each group or some of
the groups. First, we have our peers, especially growing up,
whether it's our classmates, teammates, or even quote unquote friends
(00:22):
calling us these weird, annoying names or asking dumb questions
like how's the weather up there. We also have the
adults in our lives, like teachers, coaches, or even strangers
making assumptions about us because of our height or giving
us weird stares. Then we have our family members, the
ones who are always supposed to have our backs, but
(00:43):
they pick us apart and make horrible comparisons. And then
we have men. And no, not just any random dude,
according to a tall girl on TikTok, is a specific
category of men. And before you come for me, no
I'm not talking about all men. I know it's not
all men or anything. I'm simply just provided my opinion
slash some commentary on a TikTok video that we're going

(02:10):
and you know, tell them that you love them and
all that stuff. Because, yeah, just interesting things going on
in my personal life. Found out some very devastating news,
and so I just kind of wanted to provide that
reminder in lieu of in light of I think, in
light of finding out this devastating news. I don't want
(02:34):
to share too much about it, but that is really
all I'm gonna say. Okay, so today we are talking
about men. That is such an odd thing to say. Well,
we're actually talking about a specific category of men, and
this category has to do with height. It's basically height related,
and that category of men may play a huge role
(02:56):
in tall women's insecurities and may play a part in
the height standards that are set upon us, I guess
in society, well set upon everybody, truthfully. And I'm also
going to be discussing how these high standards are kind
of out of control for both men and women, and
how they're playing a part in our self esteem and
how honestly we're making each other insecure with these height standards.
(03:19):
But first, let's take a LISTA to the TikTok that's
inspiring this episode.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
That tall woman's biggest hater is not other women, now,
it is a man who is just a little bit
shorter than her. Clock it clock it every single time
I've been out on the weekend looking good, and some
guys like subtly trying to neg me about how tall
I am, or like win, I'm wearing heels five eleven
to six feet five eleven to six feet, I'm six
(03:44):
to one okay, and they're always like, no way, you're six'.
ONE i am, Sorry i've been measured like so many.
Times you should try measuring yourself without shoes.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
On, honestly before we get into a response to, THIS
i just want to say nothing is funnier than when
someone Most i'm a, man is trying to convince you
that you don't know how tall you. Are it's always the,
oh you can't possibly be that hYP Because i'm that
height and you're taller than. Me, like, sir next, time
take measurements without your shoes, on and if you're a,
short tall girly like, me you have most likely gotten
(04:15):
something like that before or been in a situation similar to.
That i'm talking for the folks who are around like five,
ten five, eleven maybe even six feet but like me
as a little over five to ten, girly as a
five ten, girly a little over five ten. GIRLY a
lot of people and eighty five percent, MEN i will say,
(04:36):
that are constantly questioning If i'm actually five. Ten they're, like,
oh like what do you? Mean Like i'm five? Ten
or oh what do you Mean i'm five eleven and
you're like a little bit taller than?
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Me like?
Speaker 1 (04:48):
What so they want to stand back to, back they
want to compare heights all of that, stuff and it's, like, stop.
Dude there was just like this TikTok. Video it was
of a tall girl who was talking about like WHY,
i as a tall, girl lie about my, height lie
about being taller when in society's eyes is? Better, no
when in society's eyes it's worse for me to be.
(05:10):
Tall why WOULD i lie about being taller when it
wouldn't even benefit? Me does that make? Sense so it's
kind of like that, situation like why why WOULD i
lie about something like? That but, honestly when it comes
to the comparison of, heights like what does it even?
Matter like being an inch or two, taller a few centimeters,
taller like, nobody like, nothing nothing bad is gonna happen
(05:33):
to anyone with that height. Difference but, honestly it's almost
treated like a, competition you, know like a battle of the,
heights like who's taller than, who who's the taller? One
and it's, like why.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Is this the?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Case why is it even that? Deep? Now the creator
of the video THAT i played before made a follow
up video to that one in response to one of the,
comments And i'm going to play that.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Here SO i made a video the other day about
how a tall woman's biggest hater is a man that's
a little shorter than, Her And i'm going to explain
my theory on WHY i think that, is.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
BECAUSE i think it goes way beyond.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
THIS i think there's a lot more nuanced that a
lot of people don't think. About and, HONESTLY i think
it all comes back to the fact that we care
way too much about.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
How tall a man. Is we are constantly telling.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Men you ain't worth shit unless you're six feet, tall
no one wants to date, you which is mean and.
Weird we keep raising that, bar raising that, bar raising that,
bar now it's six' five finance. Blue eyes any man
under five to seven is a la. Boo boo we
hate on. Short men we gas, like them saying we love,
short kings but we. ACTUALLY don't i could do a
(06:34):
completely separate video about women posturing, on here, BEING like
i would never date a man under. Six feet when
we give men clout and we call them desirable for
something that they have not worked for or have any
sense of, control over it messes with THEIR mental a
lot of them have massive egos undtable and that cutoff
(06:54):
that we have six feet tall is. So unrealistic and
men in or on each, other too because tall men
want to. Feel superior so when you've internalized, these, IDEAS
oh i have to be taller than a girl for
her to. Like ME will i walk in the room
and he has nothing to offer me in.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
His mind it doesn't matter if that's true. Or not he.
Has nothing and so now come. The jokes now Come
the oh you, PLAYED basketball i bet you have no
trouble reaching the top shelf while you're. Wearing, heels haha
you're already, So tall leave.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Me alone but then we get to. The nuance the
guys that are. Nugging me are not any guy that's shorter.
Than me it's just guys that are around my height
a little. Bit shorter why is that nothing hurts more
than almost qualifying, For something and that's why you don't
see men that are like significantly shorter than me hating.
On me, in fact short guys are some of my.
(07:46):
Biggest cheerleaders and now for some, more NUANCE because i
think the Fact that i'm, six' one these guys that
are just a little bit, shorter than me they are
in that, six foot club the one where, women, tell
them oh now you're. Worthy of dating they are probably
used to looking down.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
On short men i'm not. A short, king, don't worry
baby you can wear. HEELS with. ME i CAN'T i,
mean I could and I would. And i, will but
like you're.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Gonna be, shorter than me and that bothers them because
again we, on short men we.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Say they, are not masculine they are.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Not worth DATING and now i walk in the room
and now the tables are turned and they are the
thing that they.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Make fun of they.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Are the labubu and now they're gonna take it out
On me because i'm not just tall. FOR a girl, i,
am TALL tall and i am disrupting their sense of
identity and what they have, to offer women and somebody
secure is going to experience, That, and, GO okay well
i have a lot of other things. To offer her
i'm still going to, talk To her and i'm still
going to, show up confident but. Some people don't my
(08:44):
point in saying all this isn't to like bash people
or shame, people OR whatever but i do think it's
important for everyone to kind of understand like where this
behavior is coming from and look within themselves men and
women to try to like.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Stop doing it like let's just be. So for real
height does not. Matter that much it.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Should not matter this is something that is so irrelevant
to someone's character that it is actually shocking to me
why people.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Care so much so that's my two.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Cents on this let me know if you think this,
is ON point because i think.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
There's something here.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
So in essence it kind of seems like what she's
saying is that the above, average HEIGHT men and i
think is above AVERAGE height because i think the average
height of a MAN in the us at least is
like five nine or. Something like that so if we're
talking about like, the five, ten five eleven maybe. Six
feet guys those are like above average height in terms of.
(09:39):
A man's hype, but in essence these above average hype
men are tall. Women's biggest haters that's basically. What, she's
saying no it's not. The taller man no it's not.
The shorter men it's the around average height above. Average
height men though in, my personal opinion all types of
heights and all types of genders and all types of
people honestly have the capacity to make. Us feel insecure but,
(10:03):
in her opinion she's thinking that the biggest haters are
the above average height or around. Average hype men and
essentially this is the case because they are barely. Missing
the mark they are LITERALLY just, below i guess the
qualifications of being considered desirable or being, considered that guy
(10:23):
like you know that that girl so being, considered that
guy and so essentially it seems like from in my
personal opinion and kind of like taking from what, the
creator said those type of people are considered a tall
women's biggest hater, because of that because they're barely, missing
the mark or because they're not, they don't qualify and
(10:45):
they just barely, miss that qualification and it kind of
goes back to the high standards of that's kind of
like instilled in, us that oh a guy has to
be at least six feet tall or over six feet
tall to be considered. Desirable and day and so, it
seems like kind of, what and listen Correct me, if
i'm wrong let me know in the comments or let ME.
(11:05):
Know the dms it seems like what she's saying is
that the men that are, around those height the around
average height or above, average height men it seems like
they necessarily believe that they don't have something to offer
women that, They're attracted to like they feel like they
have to be taller than the women that they, are
attracted to and because they just barely, miss that mark
(11:28):
they're kind of. Pressed about it they don't have something to.
Offer the women it kind of disrupts their sense of
identity and, sense of masculinity and they feel the need
to take it out of the tall, girl because oh
your height. Is outing me oh your height is making
me feel some. Type of way oh your height is
making me feel less worthy. Or less masculine and because
they're pressed about it and maybe even, insecure about it
(11:51):
that's when the sly remarks and the comments. Come into
play so that's Kind of what i'm taking. From her
analysis that's Kind of what i'm, Taking from her and
it also kind of seems like other men could be.
TO blame specifically i believe she said in the video
that taller men are looking down on the men who
(12:11):
ARE shorter or i guess like shorter than them or
not part of that six foot club and going back
kind of to the point where it kind of disrupts
their sense of identity or. Sense of masculinity is kind
of like still with, that, idea that oh men are supposed.
To be tall men are supposed to be like six
feet or over. Six feet tall so when a tall woman,
comes into play especially a woman who's like six feet or,
(12:32):
over six feet they kind of look at that, and they're,
Like oh wow like it's not supposed to. Be this
way she's not supposed to be that tall or at least.
Taller Than me like i'm supposed to, Be that tall
i'm supposed. To be taller i'm the one who's part
of the six foot. Club or whatever and there was
a comment under one of this creator's videos saying, us
six too and over men bully the five eleven friends
(12:54):
too harshly for not. Being SIX feet so i guess
the taller men are to blame or at least taking
ability and kind of know what they're doing and kind
of know that this is occurring because of. WHAT they're
doing i guess it's kind of like A, thing of.
Haha you're close you thought, that you ate but you
didn't because you're, just barely there but. You're not there so, it's,
almost like oh it's almost kind of a, thing of
(13:16):
like let's say you're in like your final semester of college, and,
it's Like yes like, I'm in FINALS like all i
have to do is pass THESE finals and i will
Be free and I'll graduate and i'll move on. With
my life and then it's kind of like you have
that one biology teacher that kind of just like ruins
it for you and, the entire class, and it's like
out of, all the finals you pass all of, your
(13:37):
other finals and you take that one biology final and
you fail it and you're stuck there. For another semester
it's kind of, LIKE that. Feeling i guess so here.
Is my observation the high standards are getting, out. Of
control y'all we have the people who only want partners
who are like a foot, shorter than them the ones
who want a partner who's in finance and is six
(13:57):
or five with. A trust fund like, at this point
the expectations are kind Of unrealistic and i'm not. Gonna
lie though back to the point of the men in
the six foot club that are kind of bullying or
making the above average height men like the, five nine ers,
five ten ors five eleven. Ers feel bad it's, kind
of similar, not as CRAZY honestly as i guess, the
(14:21):
men's side but some tall women are kind of like
that in terms of the six, foot, club thing like
particularly with the. Short tall girlies the tall girlies whose
height starts, with a five is honestly annoying when, some,
people say oh you're not tall if your height doesn't start,
With a SIX like what i struggle. TO find clothes
i get a lot of, the HEIGHT comments and i
can reach the off off of, very high shelves like
(14:43):
as a five. To ten girly where exactly does?
Speaker 2 (14:45):
That?
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Put me now switch in gears. A little bit i
stumbled across a video basically saying, that men will specifically,
the shorter ones are the reason that some tall women.
Hate being tall i'd love to hear your. Thoughts on
this i'm gonna play the video right now.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Speaking of insecurity that men have given women for. ABSOLUTELY
no reason i will never understand why girls. Hate being
tall LIKE every time i meet a tall girl, AND
she's like i, Hate being tall i'm so like, clinky
and like oh my friends are, so Like petites, and
i'm like who put this idea? In YOUR head and
i realize. That it's men. It's short men, oh my god. Tallman,
(15:20):
HER goddesses.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Now i don't know how this necessarily ties into the
first creator's point of the, slightly shorter ones the above,
average height guys the just barely, not qualifying ones because
the way that the creator and THE video that, i
just played the way that that, creator said it she
made it seem like it was the. Extremely short ones
(15:44):
so my question to you is who do you think
is more of the culprit the ones who are slightly
above average around the average height, of a man or
the ones who are significantly shorter than. THE average height.
I don't know it can come from any and everyone
but in, my personal opinion the one common denominator is
that they're insecure, about their height whether, they're above average,
(16:06):
whether they're tall whether, they're very short one way, or
the other they are insecure, about their heights and that's
why they take it out. On, TALLER women anyways i
know that that was kind.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
OF a lot.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I don't, Know i mean i'm not going to TRULY
know until i edit, this ALL together but i don't
know if all of this like made sense. OR comes,
Together i mean I'm pretty sure i'm going to try
my best to make it, all Come together but i'm
just gonna do a little wrap. Up right, now so
basically what's, being said here especially from the first creator
and what her points are the above, average height men
(16:40):
the ones who are slightly shorter than, that tall women
especially the ones who are slightly shorter than a six
foot six one six. Y two women those men are tall.
Women's biggest haters why because they are just, BARELY not,
qualified i guess barely not qualified to be considered attractive to,
(17:01):
that tall woman to, be considered masculine to, be considered worthy,
and so forth because they're just almost there but not
quite and they're, mad about that they're pressed about it because. Of,
height standards honestly what the taller men as even in
the comment from earlier, in the video the taller men
are bullying them for not Being six, Foot, they're like haha,
(17:24):
you're almost there but you're just, not quite there and
you just barely. Miss the mark so you're. Just not
worthy you're. Just not masculine you're just not desirable or
datable because. You're not there, almost you try but. You're
not there but also even the standards placed on women in,
the dating world saying that they want someone who's six
foot a six y' one over six four. And so
(17:46):
forth it's getting a little bit intense at that point
because the amount of people in the world, just in
general men and women that are over. Six feet tall
it's like it's. Not that high and then the, taller
you go the less and, less there are YOU know.
WHAT i, mean i mean so those high standards are
really just playing a part. In their insecurities they, Don't
feel worthy they feel like they have nothing off to
(18:08):
offer that woman because they are not. TALLER than her
i guess they don't consider themselves to be masculine because
they are not, taller than her they're not part of the.
Six foot club and because they're oppressed that they're not
part of the six foot, club almost there, but not
quite they take it out on the tall women by
by giving her these rude looks or doing these, crazy
(18:31):
high comparisons, the sly comments, the sly remarks, and so
forth and they're just trying to make her insecure because
they're insecure and feel bad about themselves because they're not
part of the eight group of the six. Foot and
overmen does? That make sense it kind of makes. Sense.
To me honestly i'd love to hear your thoughts on,
all of this but can we all just agree? On
(18:52):
one thing can we all just agree that being a
tall woman is a flex, like no tin no shade
to the shorter. Folks, out there okay, y'all are amazing
but being tall as a woman. Is, Chef's kiss anyways
i'm going to end. The episode here thank you so much.
FOR tuning in i, really APPRECIATE it and i appreciate.
You of, course as always feel free to hit me
up on my Socials At A tall girls podcast and
(19:13):
let me know what you thought. About this episode do
you agree that it's the above, average heype men the
ones who are slightly shorter than. The tall women do
you agree that those type of men are the biggest
haters of tall women and try to make, them feel
insecure or do you think, it's other factors, other tall,
women other women, significantly shorter, men taller. Men everybody themselves
(19:38):
do tall women make? THEMSELVES feel insecure i mean to,
a certain degree we. Kind of DO that's something i
might discuss. In another, Episode we'll, see WE'LL see but
i definitely want to hear your thoughts on. All of
this i'm. Not GONNA lie when i first heard that
creator like talking about it, AND explaining it i was a,
Bit confused myself BUT over time i let IT process
IN gel and, i, was, LIKE oh okay i can
(19:59):
kind of to see where. She's coming from but this
episode was really just like some type of commentary or opinion,
Based on, THAT and honestly i kind of agree with
her to. A CERTAIN degree but i just, think that overall, whether,
they're tall, short, above average average, whatever it is it's
always the insecure one trying to make. Other people insecure that's.
My personal, opinion so essentially, If, she's saying oh it's
(20:23):
the above average average type men, that are insecure, and
they're insecure and they're trying to make the tall women
feel insecure. Because THEY'RE insecure then i definitely agree, with
THAT point but i know it's not all of, them
for sure but definitely. An INTERESTING take so i want
to hear your thoughts, on that, take and yeah comment
if you're on YouTube or whatever podcast platform you're audio podcast,
(20:46):
platform you're on or you can SEND me a dm
let's chat and let's have a. Conversation about it, and uh,
YEAH until then i will catch out on. The next
one good. Night and goodbye
