There is this woman that shops at my grocery store, I see her once in a while. She is probably around 6' 8" or maybe taller.

She is a big big woman, she's not fat, but not thin either, you can see her head sticking up over the isles.

Her hubby/SO is a shrimp at 6'2".... LOL

Love it! I went out night before last with a gentleman who says he's 6'7 (I have yet to measure, but I think he's more like 6'5 ) and I wore my lovely 4" heels. We walked into a pizza place to grab some food and the ENTIRE place turned and looked. It was pretty funny

In pictures by myself, I look great. When I take pictures with others, I look like a giant. So, I'm proportioned decently, just not when compared to more average women.

I'm about 5'8" or so maybe 5'9" on a good day. I wouldn't mind being a couple of inches taller, I rarely think about it, to be honest.

I've never been with a really tall woman, just never came up, I wouldn't be against it per se....


Makes the motorboating easier.

I think it's the opposite. Taller people with more weight tend to carry it better. I could stand to lose about 30lbs, but I'm also 5'9-10 and I look all right. If I were shorter, I would be as wide as I am tall.

Oh, and I have no trouble getting men - fit ones.

I mean proportionally. I'm curvy, and if I just shrunk down it would be great. Since I'm tall AND curvy, I just look exaggerated and huge.

I think it's important to remember that ugly does not always come from the outside.

Nah. 6-1 and well built is just as impressive as 5-5 ad well built. If I'm able to lift and carry a lady, she's not too big for me.

Wouldn't call that fat (I'm a woman).
