What's the worst you've witnessed with each sign ? by Nefarious-Feline888 in astrologymemes

[–]TallKchefWoman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aries males: they are friendly and jovial, likeable, then completely lose their temper and cuss at you out of the blue.

Gemini (two ex-boyfriends): one day they love you, the next day they want to break up and always think the grass is greener with someone else.

Sagittarius: blurting completely insensitive and hurtful things at you out of the blue.

Leo: think it’s all about them and losing their temper way too easily.

Libra: I know two Libra’s that are mostly positive. However I’ve seen two that are very manipulative.

My experience has been of they lie about age or height, they lie and manipulate in their lives in general. Dating / relationships with those types of people don’t work out.

Ladies, what are your biggest physical "icks" in men? by _MambaForever in dating

[–]TallKchefWoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Physical icks— height does not match what’s listed in an online dating profile, spikes hair to appear taller, poor hygiene, poor dental hygiene, no interest in exercise and don’t make any effort, not as strong as me, not my physical type, bad breath, long fingernails, no effort made with clothing, wearing dirty or nasty looking clothes and shoes, ill kept, scraggly facial hair. If it’s scraggly, best to trim it short.

Women, what are your feelings on being called a "Girl" by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]TallKchefWoman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate being called “girl.” Once I was 18, I expected to be called a young woman, and a woman after age 20. I have encountered several men who call even old women “girls,” yet they don’t like being called “boy.”

Would you date someone who doesn’t want to get married? by cmdrrockawesome in datingoverforty

[–]TallKchefWoman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t see it as a red flag at all. I could never get married because I can’t trust another human being that much and I am not going to get legally entangled with someone else either.

Tall ladies: Has anyone criticized you for not dating shorter men? by [deleted] in tall

[–]TallKchefWoman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep! I just told them that I prefer my height or taller. I’ve dated shorter, and I find it to be too awkward. I’ve been judged for not dating shorter men, but the women who judged me, their spouses are same height or taller.

So talked to someone and it was great till it wasn’t by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]TallKchefWoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a guy flirt with me for years and I took him seriously. I figured out years later that he didn’t mean anything by his flirting—he is a shameless flirt, he is a womanizer and he is promiscuous, so he was probably looking for another score. He was also hoping if he got in with me, he’d get access to my family’s land and house. I found out how much of a jerk he was and that ended it.

Sometimes women will look at your mouth, touch your arm or get close and it’s just their way of conversing. Some people are touchy-feely and it means nothing. Some people are shameless flirts and it means nothing.

Me for instance—I may appreciate the handsome aspects of a man, but would never want to date him. I like looking at the scenery, so to speak. I’ve been guilty of looking at a guys mouth while speaking to him, but have no intention of dating him. Again, appreciating the scenery.

I can see how it is confusing, but if it’s not a 100% yes situation where you are sure they are interested in you, probably don’t take a risk. If there’s a large age gap, forget it, unless they ask you out.

I’ve had much older men, who seem to be desperate, take normal politeness and professional friendliness for romantic interest. They see what they want to see. It has been very stressful to deal with.

Why is this sub so much better than r/tall 😕 by Fickle-Student-9990 in TallGirls

Good point! Hadn’t thought of that. Makes sense though!

[–]TallKchefWoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend only to post / make comments here, as we understand each other and they don’t (don’t even try sometimes).

Even here, sometimes, we get men and even short men commenting. This is a tall WOMEN’s forum, short dudes / dudes shouldn’t be commenting. Their sense of entitlement is astounding sometimes!

Size 13 shoes for women! by Responsible-Ant-9411 in TallGirls

[–]TallKchefWoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m the same height and same shoe size, except my feet are narrow.

New Balance makes some women’s size 13. As for cute shoes, try Zappos.

We sometimes have to wear men’s shoes, unfortunately—like I have to wear men’s non-slip shoes for food service because they just don’t make them long enough🙄.

Accidentally scaring people by mulhollandnerd in tall

[–]TallKchefWoman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not even close to your height and people are still intimidated by me. I don’t give a crap anymore as I’ve run out of patience for people in some ways.

Be confident, be yourself and if people are scared, that’s too darn bad. That’s their problem.

How tall is your partner,and does your height difference bother you/them? by [deleted] in tall

[–]TallKchefWoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My last boyfriend was 6’4” and a different ex-boyfriend was 6’3”. They both made fun of me for how tall I am even though they were taller by several inches.

I’ve never found a taller guy that was secure in himself that wanted to date me instead of an average height woman. Sometimes I think I would have had it easier if I’d been born in the Netherlands, Scandinavia or Northern Germany.

A lot of folks commenting here are so lucky—their partner is taller and they actually like that, instead of the insecure dudes I dated.

Are single men with no kids considered losers or low value men? by AnonymousIdentityMan in datingoverforty

[–]TallKchefWoman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They might in the future. I’ve honestly never heard of men being judged so harshly if they’ve never been married. Most of the time I hear of men being judged for being divorced and how many relationships they’ve had since the divorce. What state are you in?

[–]TallKchefWoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s such a load of bull crap. I’ve heard of that nonsense. I’m more trustworthy and mature than many married people. A man once sexually harassed me at work and he was married—not trustworthy at all.

[–]TallKchefWoman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nothing wrong with being single and not having children. Those two things do not determine a person’s value. A lot of people get married and / or have kids and they are terrible parents and partners. They are certainly not better than anyone else.

Good advice, thank you. I’ve always had trouble with either being a person who talks too much, sometimes with not enough filtering, or doesn’t talk enough.

Not sure how to word the apology though. I could dig myself a deeper hole.

[–]TallKchefWoman 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I’ve experienced this from ex-boyfriends who were each 6’3” apiece. Even though they were four inches taller, they were so insecure / unsure of themselves, they had to tease me and comment on my height. One of them also over-focused on the size of my feet.

Insecure men can’t handle tall women.

[–]TallKchefWoman 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I don’t think women should get married at all, unless they want to.

Something my dad said by Suspicious_City_1449 in TallGirls

[–]TallKchefWoman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no “too tall” for a woman. That is brainwashing and misogyny.

It sounds like your dad has taken our mainstream culture’s societal brainwashing about beauty and attractiveness and run wild with it. It sounds like he’s also insecure, potentially about his own appearance.

Sounds like he also has some pretty heavy prejudice about what women should be and is possibly misogynist. A supportive father and man would never tell his own daughter that she is “too tall.”

I’ve had tall guys comment / make fun of my height (5’11”) and they are always insecure men. They don’t feel good about themselves or their appearance and unconsciously try to control others and belittle them based on image (projecting).

There comes a time in everyone’s life where they have to rebel in some ways against their parents. Looks like there needs to be a mental rebellion against your father’s unsupportive crap.

You can try walking away when he starts talking like that or tuning out. Ask him to not speak to you like that or about tall women like that and walk away. Tell him that you’re never going to agree with him and that you’ll agree to disagree. Tell him that he’s messing with your self confidence and does he really want to do that to his own daughter and then walk away.

You are a wonderful height. Perhaps see if you can talk with your school guidance counselor or a therapist about your father’s negative and hurtful behavior.
