These Men Have a Problem with Tall Women?? | The Height Standards Are Getting Out Of Hand Y'all...

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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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. But first, let's take a LISTA to the TikTok that's inspiring this episode. 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 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. 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 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, 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? Me like? 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. 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 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. Is this the? 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. 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. BECAUSE i think it goes way beyond. 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. How tall a man. Is we are constantly telling. 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 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 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Gonna be, shorter than me and that bothers them because again we, on short men we. Say they, are not masculine they are. Not worth DATING and now i walk in the room and now the tables are turned and they are the thing that they. Make fun of they. 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 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. Stop doing it like let's just be. So for real height does not. Matter that much it. Should not matter this is something that is so irrelevant to someone's character that it is actually shocking to me why people. Care so much so that's my two. Cents on this let me know if you think this, is ON point because i think. There's something here. 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. 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, 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 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 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. 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 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 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 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, 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 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 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 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 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 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 as a five. To ten girly where exactly does? That? 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. 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, HER goddesses. 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 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, 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. OF a lot. 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 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, 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, 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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, 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
