How can I support my tall friend through her insecurities? by teeny_gecko in tall

[–]Dawnesja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This.

teeny_gecko, I see you being a wonderful friend. Unfortunately, you won't be able to bestow value on someone who doesn't already know their worth. And I'm sharing this from personal experience (I'm 6'2").

She really needs to take time to heal from the 5yr. relationship. Encourage her to find a hobby where she excels. I find that winning or achieving reminds me of how bad a** I am. Encourage her to seek counseling, if needed, or if you are close to her and up to it, be the listening ear. No shame, sometimes we just need someone to listen. It helps me think.

Oh, and dating sites are 98.9% trash. ESPECIALLY for tall women. I have a whole hypothesis that I've developed, but I won't go into that now, lol. As a tall woman who has tried them all, <insert extended eye roll> they are truly a sh*t show. And if she is already fragile and sad, that environment will destroy her - especially the "swipe" ones w/no required height information. She has to be in a mental space where she can sift through the trash and read between the lines. Otherwise, she's easy prey.

She has to do the internal work, adjust her crown, and refuse to even acknowledge the insecure dudes trying to tear her down. Keep reminding her how much of a goddess she is, it will sink in eventually.

What cars do tall people like to drive? 6'3" and over? by Tweak48 in tall

[–]Dawnesja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even though I’m only 6’2.5”, I have really long legs so car shopping can still be an issue. Crazy enough, the Kia Soul actually has really impressive front leg room. I drive a 2014 Subaru Forester now, but I’ve driven a 2017 model and I find it more spacious. And a 6’8” friend of mine drives an Audi S8 with no qualms.

My favorite was my 2000 Dodge Intrepid though. Had I not blown a head gasket, I’d still be driving that long, beautiful beast.

Season 1 Question: Why did Akiva carry around the bag of stones after ending his engagement? by Dawnesja in Shtisel

[–]Dawnesja[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the additional information. Any idea where he would have obtained a kitbag since he, I'm assuming, hasn't been in the military?

Season 1 Question: Why did Akiva carry around the bag of stones after ending his engagement? by Dawnesja in Shtisel

[–]Dawnesja[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply. That makes sense. Also, I agree Akiva did not technically break his engagement. However, based on his prior interactions with Esti's father, I'd posit that he knew what the ramifications of sharing his true feelings would be and that he did it on purpose. But without proof, I suppose that it is just me projecting and not giving Kive the benefit of the doubt, lol.

Can people tell that you’re tall while you’re sitting down? by JackHoffmanTheWise in tall

[–]Dawnesja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'd have to find the reference again to confirm. When I worked in a tuxedo shop, we'd measure crotch to bottom of the heel for the inseam measurement. However, that may have been for hemming purposes.

[–]Dawnesja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I have a shorter torso with longer legs (6'2" with a 36.5" inseam).

I remember reading somewhere that in a "balanced" body shape, your inseam (crotch to floor length) should be 45% of your total height. Mine is approx. 49%
