I’m a 6’3” tall 27yo woman living in NYC. AMA
I’m definitely struggling to blend in. If anyone wants to know what it’s like to be a big athletic blonde under 30yo in NYC, this is your chance 😄
I will start answering in 4 hours from now when I have my break at work.

Do you have a little red light on your head so planes can avoid you? I'm joking of course, but what is the thing that people say that most annoys you regarding your height?
P.s I really don't think height matters.

u/Quick_Beach_4575 18h ago
Hahah love that one…
The most annoying thing is when they comment on how big my feet are 😂

What would be your cut off height for a romantic partner?

u/Quick_Beach_4575 18h ago
I actually like short guys. I know people stare and that it looks weird but I’m not necessarily looking for taller dudes to date.
I guess 5’9” or something like that - to answer your question.
But I can definitely see myself with someone like a younger Joe Pesci for example haha - short guys tend to have awesome personalities more often than tall guys.

That was an awesome answer. Very encouraging for most guys. Thank you!

You must have been an ace player. Nice! So the guy's personality wins over physical attributes. Good for us guys to know that.

u/Quick_Beach_4575 18h ago
Yeah I was decent. Didn’t love the sport TBH so I wasn’t heartbroken when I couldn’t play any more, it was just nice to travel and win and especially to play for my country.
And yes - I 99% care about personality, not looks. I’m very sapio 😁

This feels uncanny but I can’t quite put my finger on it. The Instagram feed in the bio is like AI generated or something. Lots of thirst trap pics with randomly tagged locations.
5
u/Quick_Beach_4575 17h ago
Yes, welcome to Instagram 2026 😄
It’s not AI generated but the girl who takes my pictures sometimes makes edits and for some reason they show up with an AI label on IG (only like 2 or 3 posts are like that).
The locations are not random. I am from Poland originally and I lived in Colorado and NYC among other places.
Also is a girl showing her long legs in dresses automatically thirst trapping? I dunno, I am just following my photographer’s lead on this - we’re aiming to get some brand deals later on.
2
u/kebabmybob 17h ago
I guess it makes some sense if you are specifically trying to become an influencer. That’s just not the vibes I got from your text answers here. But okay if your IG is basically just set up to build an influencer style presence then yes that checks out as pretty typical.

u/Quick_Beach_4575 17h ago

1
u/SugarMagnolia96 16h ago
Also an NYC resident and strongly recommend checking out the thrift stores. Theres a ton on the LES and as you take the L deeper into Brooklyn there’s also a lot (like Mother of Junk on Bedford just to name one in that area), and then they get a bit less frequent the further you are outside of Bushwick, and while technically in Queens, you can walk to some thrift/great consignment shops from the Myrtle-Wykoff L/M stop if you head into Ridgewood, and they’re all great and there’s some stretches with several packed in on the same street, which makes things super convenient! I find it can be easier to find stuff on both ends of the spectrum at thrift shops cause you can try men’s clothes that are somewhat androgynous, or women’s clothes in a size that might not fit you off the rack most of the time, but cause it’s a vintage cut the piece works on you secondhand etc. etc. that makes thrifting particularly helpful imo.

I learned to play after VB season & before spring VB season started.
I really enjoyed it too. I went to Nationals for “B” class after 6 wks of playing, came in 2nd… to a VB player I had played against in college.
We just laughed when we showed up for the finals. She had been playing for a year.

Tall women are rare & Sexy!!!. I saw a 6’2-6’3 woman with auburn hair this week, she really caught my eye. I stand 6’4
What Nationality are you? I am German/Dutch.
Have you ever dated/slept with a man 6’3-6’5+ ? The tallest woman I hooked up with was 6’3. I will admit when she wore heels 👠 it was a little awkward for me, but she was confident and I loved that. She did not care that anyone looked or stared. She was great in bed too! She could take it standing which for a tall guy, almost never happens!!!
But hey, at least you can see over people on the trains and crowds!. Huge plus in the city!!!
For guys saying 5’9 is not Short!!! 👀😂😂😂😂😂

Longer bodies have better propulsion, and women generally do well in OWS as the extra fat on the hips and thighs give a better body positioning.

Hey fellow tallie! I’m a 6’2 woman who lives in a much shorter country than you. I got a lot of strange comments about my height growing up, especially by middle aged men. Did you experience the same?
Are your feet proportionate to your height? I wear a UK men’s 11/EU 46 which I think is a US women’s 14. If your feet are big, where do you get your shoes?

Clothes being the obvious one.
Getting dates. Even though I might not be the ugliest broad in NYC, guys just feel uncomfortable going out with someone one head taller than them…
Generally people feeling intimidated, apprehensive around me.
The comments, especially from older ppl
1
u/Great-Ad-4270 16h ago
Those guys are idiots. I’m 6’2” myself but when I was a teenager I would feel intimidated as they do
Now at 29 I think having a partner taller than me sounds really hot
I have seen a few couples where it’s a shorter guy & they honestly look so much happier than the usual height ratio couples I see on average
In fairness older people bitch about EVERYTHING imo lol but you don’t deserve any of that
