Are Tall Women Lying About Their Height? | Because People Stay Arguing With Us About It

If you're a tall girly listening to this right now, tell me if this has ever happened to you. You're out in the town, maybe at a bar, or if you're under twenty one in the US, you're somewhere other than the bar. Do not go to the bar if you're underaged. But you're somewhere out and about and a random stranger comes up to you and asks you how tall you are, And of course it's nothing new, you know, it happens from time to time. You're feeling good vibes that day, so you just answer the question. Just as an example, you say that you're six two because you're six to two, and then the stranger goes, okay, but you can't possibly be six two because I'm six two and I'm looking up at you, and no, you're not wearing heels, or maybe you are, because some tall women do, and then they take off the heels to show their actual height. Either way, you're like, no, like i'm six two, I'm pretty sure i'm six to two, and then the stranger quite literally starts arguing with you about how you're wrong and you're lying about your height. You're just doing it to piss people off and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, and you're probably just like yo, chill. We don't even know each other. I wasn't aware that it was that deep. Anyways, there are many tall women who have experienced a similar scenario to this, and I'm sure they've wondered why is it serious? Well, hopefully we'll get to the bottom of this in today's episode, so let's get 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 sending in today is doing super fantastic.

I hope you are having fun with like your costume and going trigger treating or a Halloween party or whatever it is. I will not be participating in any of the festivities this year. Actually, the day that I'm recording this, which is like the Saturday before after I record this, I'm actually going to sleepy Hollow. So I am actually very excited for that. So this is kind of my hollow weekend in a way. Next weekend I just need a break. I need to sleep for like several hours. But I guess you could say my hollow weekend is this weekend. I'm so excited for it. Make sure you follow me on TikTok and Instagram because I'm most likely gonna post about it. Uh yeah, So I just wanted to say really quickly, Happy Halloween. Now back to this episode. Some people like to start arguments over the most ridiculous things, and height is one of those things. Like people will actually try to argue with you about your height Like that never fails to amaze me. I did ask you guys in a poll over on Instagram, and I'm gonna do a quick little plug here. Make sure you follow me at a Tall Girls podcast so you can participate in these polls and have your opinions heard on these episodes. But I did ask you guys in a poll Tall girlies, has anyone ever argued with you about your height? Tell me why? One hundred percent of you guys said yes multiple times. Every single person who voted said yes multiple times. Is that not wild? Is that not wild to think about several tall All of the tall women who voted on this pole has argued with a random person or maybe somebody they knew who knows has argued with somebody about their own height. I'm extremely gabberflasted, but we're gonna get more into it later in this episode. I'm sure every tall woman has had some type of experience where a total stranger will argue with you over who's taller. I'll try to convince you that you're lying about your height. This has happened to you, right, Yeah, Okay, just just making sure it's a universal Talk Girl experience. So, yeah, like the story that I gave earlier in this episode, like in the intro. That's not just like a random thing. It's not like a unique or happens barely ever type of thing. Like all women have dealt with this a fair amount of times. I'm gonna play an example really quickly, and then for the audio listeners after the video plays, I'm going to explain it for you. Guys. How are you okay? You know? So, basically what happened in the video was that a friend was recording at a bar and there was a guy who said his height. I don't remember what it was. I think it was six three, Yes, he said he was six y three, and the person who was recording her friend enters the frame, but she is visibly taller than the man who said that he is six three. I mean, at the end of the video he did point out that she was like wearing heels or he was looking down like she was wearing heels. I mean, I don't know, because we didn't see the whole entire body, so I don't know if she was actually wearing heels or anything, but the whole video, I guess was like implying that he was lying about the fact that he was six three. There was also another video that took place at a bar, and you see why. In the intro I gave the example. The example took place in the bar, Like it seems like a lot of these things happens at a bar, but a lot of weird things happened at a bar. Anyways, there were two people arguing this. It was a recording of two people arguing. It was a man and a woman, and the woman was visibly taller than the man, but she was wearing heels, like we could see it in the frame, and they were literally in each other's faces yelling at each other about who's taller. And he would basically saying, if you're actually taller than me without your heels on, I will buy you a drink. So she took off one of her heels so she could be like, you know, flat feet on the ground or whatever to prove her actual height. And it turns out she was actually taller than him, and then he had to go and buy her a drink. I mean, I I don't know if I want to accept a drink from someone who was yelling in my face. But to each their own, I guess something like this doesn't always happen in bars. There's actually a story on Reddit from a tall girly who found her guy friend on a dating app and he put in his bio that he was six foot, but she's five ten and he's shorter than her, so she clocked it and he was like, no, I'm six feet, so you're probably six to one. He literally bet her five hundred dollars or something, but after a trip to the doctor, the tall girly won the bet. Dating apps and bars we should we should take some type of precaution when it comes to those places. Anyways, scenarios like these have led to the popularity the virality I guess of this TikTok sound. A lot of men ask me how tall I am, and I tell them six feet and then they say, no, you're not because I'm six two. Why am I looking down at you then? And no, I'm not hating on men or anything of that sort. This is just like a reality or a pattern that I've been seeing. So I'm just taking note of that, not hitting on anybody. But since we're on that pattern of men challenging tall women's heights, some men are actually clocking this kind of let's just take a listen to this really quickly. I don't know if it's just me, but whenever I see a tall woman, Bro, I'm talking like from five teen to like six feet and up even five to nine. Bro. You put her next to like somebody who's five ten and it's six feet six y' one, Bro, Sometimes the women be looking taller than the dude. I don't know what it is about tall women, Bro, they be looking taller than they actually are. BRO, Like they I don't know what it is. I don't know it's the legs, because I promise you put a six foot man next to a six foot woman, the woman sometimes be taller than a dude. I know I'm not you, but I'm not the only one that peeked there. Bro. I'm starting to like, I don't know, like I feel like they be lying, but they height. I don't know what it is, but tall one, Broy, they different though I love y'allo shout out to SI. And Funnily enough, the first two comments under this video are the men lie, that's what it is, and because we don't lie about our heights, that's pretty telling and low key hilarious. Now that we know about this side of things, does it go both ways. Basically, do tall women lie about their height? There are some who do, and wait, have you lied about your height before? And so then why anyways, We're gonna get back into that a little bit later. So why lie? Why lie about your height? This is gonna be very interesting. I think we're gonna start with the men's side really quickly. So I actually stumbled across a video that I want to play first. All right, this might be a hot take, but I think that men who challenge women on their height are men who are not secure in themselves. For reference, I am five to eleven, and maybe I can narrow it in and say secure in their heights. That don't come for me. But it's always the guys that are like, you're not five eleven, you're six' five that need me to be six' five for them to feel better about. Their height and to, be clear this is, without heels and not like there's anything wrong with, any height but, it's Like if I'm saying i'm five, to eleven why does that have to? Be wrong and what's the point of challenging me. On it i'm not changing, my answer and it's cool if it's, initially, like, oh SURPRISING or I mean i, have friends they'll make them a little joke like things. Like, that okay, that's fine but when you have the desire to go back and forth with me, on it That's what. I'm like, WHY. Again i don't have to, be right but it's just. A. Thought now let's take a look at some of the comments under. This video one, person says not a hot take a. Straight fact why are you comparing heights? With me another person said they're jealous of. Our heights one said men that challenge women for any personal metric, are. Insecure period and then there was actually a comment in, another video not, this one in. Another video it was from. A guy so basically THE video i think she was. Talking about it was a tall woman who was a relatively TALL woman, i think who was talking about a guy who lied about his height and his bio and like a dating app, or something and she realized that she was taller than him and she, was, LIKE hmm i don't. Like that and as a way to kind of support my, next point the guy in the comment, basically said let the brother have. A chance it's. The pressure so maybe it's the, societal pressure, you know where in order for. A man to be considered, A man i guess he has to be over six. Feet tall and it kind of like reminds me of this other VIDEO that i. Actually recorded it was like a while BACK where i talked about like humbling. TALL women i believe people humbling. Tall women and one of, the Videos the TikTok VIDEOS that i played in, that episode she was talking about how a guy who was barely shorter, than her like barely missed six, feet tall was basically being rude, about her regarding her height or making comments about. Her height and it kind of like goes into how you know some men who are like, five ten five eleven who are pressed that they've just barely missed six feet or they are shorter slightly shorter than a tall woman or maybe a tall woman that they're, attracted to so they feel the need to make comments about her height to make her kind of feel insecure because they're a little bit insecure about their height or insecure about the fact that they're either shorter than her or they're not six. Feet tall they're not part of the six. Foot CLUB and i, don't know it's just INTERESTING because i feel like many people fail to realize that it's not super common for anybody actually to be over six. Feet tall like there's a reason why the average height of, A man, i think at Least in america is like five to nine that's the, average height, You know so being over six feet tall in, all areas whatever gender, you are honestly is not as COMMON as i think people would like for it, to be or people think. It is but in, a way it seems like some men are made to feel as though if they are not at least six, feet tall it's considered a. Bad thing they're not seen, as masculine they're not seen, AS awesome, I guess and so when they just barely, miss that, they're, LIKE dang i was, almost THERE but i just miss. The mark and those who are not secure, within themselves who are not secure within, their height they feel the need to take it out on, other people and in, this case tall women when it comes to. Their height that is what leads them to try to humble them or make comments about tall, women's heights or in this, specific case challenge their height or start an argument regarding their height because some, of them, you know just want to believe that they're over, six feet or maybe they're doctor didn't measure, them properly or they just feel like they have something to prove. WITH that i, don't know but the whole, insecurity thing the whole, INSECURITY reason i can. SEE that i can. Believe, that now apparently there's a difference between tall as a woman and tall as, a man like women tall and man tall are two. Separate things i've never heard. OF this i actually saw something about this in the comments under one of the VIDEOS that i presented earlier in. This episode but essentially it has to do with the fact that a woman is tall mainly mostly because of, her legs and a man is tall mainly mostly because Of, his torso so if you see a tall woman and a tall man next to, each other it's likely that the tall woman has longer legs than the, tall man and because the tall woman has, longer legs it appears as though that she is taller than him because. Of that so does that play a part and people are arguing with each other? About, height honestly you. Never know it could create some weird like illusion. OR whatever i could, see THAT and i think that that's actually very true because of when people, hit puberty because biological women tend to hit puberty earlier than. Biological, men now when it comes to lying, about height it seems as though men are more likely to lie about, being taller whereas women are more likely to lie about. Being shorter what are your thoughts. ON this i actually saw a video SOMEWHERE and i can't find it for the life. Of me i've been trying to find it for the past three WEEKS and i just can can't. Find IT but i saw this video a while ago that it was like a tall, woman, saying, yeah like WHY would i lie about my height when it's seen as like a detriment, or something or seen as like a bad thing in society for a woman to, Be taller like WHY would i lie about being tall if being tall as a woman is a? Bad Thing and, i'm like that is literally straight up facts. RIGHT there i guess it would make more sense for a man to lie about his height and to lie about, being taller because that's seen as, LIKE better i guess for, a man whereas for a woman to lie about, being taller it's like why would you want to? Do that you KNOW what? I mean, in general not like in like, you know not everything, is absolute but, in general that's essentially the. Point here and, you know because, of this many tall women downplay, their height many tell women lie about. Being shorter oh, MY gosh i actually and it's funny because a friend sent this to. ME too i saw it Was an instagram real actually about how it was, two people a boy and, a girl a man and a woman who met on a. Dating app the girl lied about being shorter in her bio and the guy lied about being taller in. His bio so when, they met like, in person face, to face she, was, LIKE oh i thought you, were taller and he, was, LIKE uh i thought you, were shorter and she was like significantly taller than. Him too it. WAS hilarious i don't know if this was staged, or anything or if this was, like REAL but i thought that it was funny and they, were, like oh so we just lied to each other about each. Other's. Height lovely but then they ended up becoming friends, after THAT so i guess that's some sort, of win some sort of. Happy ending but there, Are instances there are Examples that i've personally, seen online whether it Was on reddit Or. Even, facebook yes the research got Me, to. Facebook y'all but Even on facebook, where tall there are some tall women who actually have admitted to Being sh and the same reason as to why, you know a man would lie about, being TALLER because i guess it's seen as BETTER and i, don't know it'll get him. More prospects maybe the tall woman think the, same thing and lying about, being shorter whether it's a little bit or a, lot shorter would potentially get them, more prospects especially in the. Dating WORLD so i just think that's. Very interesting some of us are out here just lying about our, Heights period AND all i can really, say is, you know just don't lie, about it especially if we're going into dating. And stuff they're going to find out at, some point and it's like you kind of want to filter out the people who wouldn't want to be with someone who's taller, than them or maybe who's around. Your height you want to filter those people out because you want to be with the person who loves you for who, you are no matter how tall or how short, you are you KNOW what. I, mean so in my, PERSONAL opinion i don't think it's right to lie about. YOUR height i think you should tell. THE truth i did ask you guys in a pull Over, on instagram have you ever lied about? Your height the tall girliest had they ever lied about? Their height nine percent said yes to, be taller thirty six percent said yes to, be shorter and fifty five percent said. No never i'm glad to see that more than half of you guys have not lied about. Your height is best to stay truthful in my. Personal opinion but of those who have lied about, their height most of y'all have lied to, be shorter which is very interesting and that could partially play a part in the, fact that, you know being tall as a woman can be seen is often seen as a, bad thing so sometimes having to lie about being shorter may be beneficial for some of. You guys in whatever, Particular situation you've lied about, Your height so that's. Very interesting so if you lied about, your height whether to be taller, or shorter let me know why in the comments or even send ME. A, dm also check with your doctor make sure they're measuring you properly with out your, shoes on so we, can all, you know be on the same page. Regarding, measurements also maybe it keeps some measuring tape with you just in case you need to prove. A point some tall women have done that and it has come in handy. FOR them I think i should start doing. That too and, most importantly don't argue with anyone over, anything ridiculous especially if they're a stranger and you don't. Know, them honestly don't argue with a stranger, over anything especially if you're never gonna see, them again if you don't care, about them. Just don't it's dangerous out here in, these streets and you. Never know you never know what someone, is carrying and you never know what someone's, gonna do you don't know their. Mental state you just. Never know sometimes you're just gonna, be, like yeah you, know what, You're right i'm six seven and you're. Six, three yeah, for sure have a good rest of your night and just move on with. YOUR life i don't think it's ever worth it to waste your breath on somebody who could actually change your life in a, negative way and someone who you'll actually never. See again so that's just my take. On that and my last, thing, is honestly if you go to a bar, or, anywhere honestly, tell girlies no matter where, you go don't be afraid to be taller than. Everyone else there's just something about being the tallest one in the room that just it just, hits different. You, Know anyways i'm going to end the. Episode here thank you so much for.

Your height, have you as a, tall woman ever lied about your height wherever, it is whether it's in, dating apps, in person. OR whatever i want to know your thoughts on the whole lying about. HEIGHT situation i get it to, a DEGREE but i just think that it gets to a certain point where, it's like is it? Worth it, you know is it worth it to especially if it's with a person that you're going to, be with like a partner or, something like is it worth it?
