I am a wife, mother, sister, daughter, grand daughter, employee, friend, confidant, Cancer, and so many other things, and happen to be 6’7″ tall. I honestly forget how tall I am most of the time. I usually only remember when I am around new people. To everyone else, I am “just Chelle.” Occasionally, I will have someone who will just stare at me, I usually check my zipper, do a quick touch of the nose(because of their view), and check for something in my teeth. Only then does it hit me that they are not used to me and duh, I am way taller than they were expecting. My usual response to this kind of thing is to tell them that I am only “a tall woman” for the first time you meet me. After that I am just me. I had the usual tough growing up that most tall girls had but, I grew up in a tall family and only had to turn to them when it got tough. I was instantly reminded that life would go on and I would be OK.

As for dating, I dated a short guy in College, Andy, he was 5’9″. We were engaged but, it didn’t work out. I have dated guys from 5’6″ to 7’0″ and have figured out that the guys I prefer are the ones that I feel good about being around. If I don’t feel desired, appreciated, and respected, I don’t care how tall or short you are, you will have my size 15 helping you out my door.
As for that Jeorg fellow, Andy contacted him when he found my name on the web site and asked Jeorg if he knew me and would he forward on an email to me. He did that in 1999, I answered and Andy and I started talking again. We started dating a year later and got engaged about 1 1/2 years ago and were married on October 25th, 2003. We have Jeorg to thank for that.

Being very tall is part of who I am. I take the questions in stride and have quite a few good comebacks for the shortcomings of the rest.
I will leave you with my favorite of the ones I use(feel free to use it if you like it)

“I am not tall, I am just waiting for the rest of you to grow up!!!!!”

It’s always something. Be happy with who you are. There are already enough good people being picked away at by useless insecurities. When I see someone getting picked on and not handling it very well, I jump in and steal the attention, shut it down. I’m not gay, but when I see a homophobe acting up, I act gay and have some fun. There will always be people who try to make a person feel inferior for whatever reason, turn it around, put it back where it came from. It doesn’t belong to you until you take it. I’m far from perfect, but I will live my life, my way.

When someone tries to give insecurity to you, put it back where it came from.

Thank you for posting this stuff. Personally, I am a short man. Extremely short man and I’ve always liked for girls to be taller. I don’t know why, but it’s just that simple comforting feeling you get when she’s taller. I haven’t dated any tall ladies at all. Very sad, I don’t know what’s wrong with the world. WHERE ON EARTH CAN I, A 6′ 11″ MAN, FIND A TALLER GIRL FOR CRYING OUT LOUD?!?!?!? PLEASE! SPEAK TO ME! I LOVE YOU TALL GURLS!!! P.S. Please be at least 7′ 3″ before replying k thx
