I am 5 feet 11. When I walk by people always look at me. I always think it is because I am tall do any of you have similar experiences

I am 6'3" and my son is 6'7" tall if we feel we are being undully stared at we say "Yes we play basketball, do you play miniture golf"  even if they are not talking, just  staring. it usually gets them thinking.

I don't call it staring, I call it admiring glances.

I'm 6'8" and living in a small town I get it constantly: staring, stupid questions, people pointing. There's a lack of tall women here too so why I haven't moved yet I don't know.

I am 6'2". I forget how much I get stared at because it has always felt normal and expected to walk into a room and have everyone look at you. I forget that not everyone gets looked at when they enter a room. My petite friends always comment on it. I tend to be pretty smiley and am approachable, so that combo with my height means that I meet people and network quite easily. The only time I feel insecure about my height is when dancing. Sometimes, I feel hyper aware of my long arms and long legs, esp when I am feeling not so graceful. Because of my height I find I get a lot of attention - usually positive. Such as being immediately served, moved to the front of the line, get a special gift or bonus, more respect. There is something about people having to tilt their chins up to look at me that automatically gives them a somatic experience of 'looking up' to me. Many friends will send me in to take care of their refund, get the best seat in the restaurant or ticket at the concert. The only times I don't like being looked at is when I am feeling a little low or inward and don't want to deal with strangers needing to talk to me about my height. When I meet new people they need to spend a few minutes processing it, then it rarely comes up again.

I'm 6'tall in bare feet. On the few occasions I've had people comment, they have said things like; "You're tall, I like that." and "Wow, Amazon!"

I actually get more comments about my chest (natural 38H) than my height (go figure).

@ twiggy43, I have found that 'stocky' men (broad, strong chest) make me feel more secure in their arms than tall men.

A few of my sorority sisters and I are 5'11'' and up and we always wear heels out. Everyone stares as we walk by, but it's nice to command all the attention :p

I've been tall my entire life, and always felt a stronger connection with those that are tall like me. Tall men just sexy without trying!

Yes im 6'9 i get stared at and asked my height every day im used to it by now. I put smiles on ppls face everyday i like it.

I'm sorry I really can't relate with the poster. At 6'6" I blend right in, especially with the Japanese.

Lmao! Yes, it's hysterical. I'm 6'6, my wife is 6', my sister is 6'3", and her hubby is 6'3 as well. We make all make quite the spectacle when we go out for dinner.

I get stared at by people and kids all the time. Has anyone every responded to staring verbally. I find it very rude to be stared at. We are people just like everyone else ! Dont parents teach their kids its not polite to stare anymore?

Hi there. Yes I do. It's crazy sometimes. I get stared at all the time. Sometimes it's nice and sometimes I feel like saying get over it people. It's just my height. Hang in there girl.My suggestion to tall,American women. Go to Amsterdam or Germany. The men there love tall women, because their own women are tall. They are not intimidated by height because they tend to be tall too. I travel there a lot and I feel normal(whatever that is!).Why can't people understand that tall women want someone they can look up to? People are always telling me to settle for a short man. Not! I want what most women want, that feeling of being secure in a man's arms and I don't get that being with a man shorter than me.

Stared at, snickered at, pointed at...Just smile like you know a secret they don't and move on :)
The worst for me is "Wow you're tall!"
My reply "Naaahhhhhhh, you just need to get out of that hole you're standing in" Grin.

-T

All the time i even get some stange men coming up to me looking at me and stating the very obvious "you're tall".

roflfao, I'm 6'7" and I have a t shirt with 'dangerous foreigner' in kanji on the front, not worn it in front of a japanese yet.....

Please lol. . .Im 6 foot 7. I love getting stared at. Japanese tourists scream and run away.
