I’m 6ft and let me tell you there is nothing more confidence destroying than being a tall teenage girl when not only strangers but also relatives and EVERYONE around you comments on how tall you are. As I got older people got used to it and I love being the way I am but I have noticed that if someone’s gonna comment on it its always men who’s opinion no one asked for.
“You’re too tall for a women” like what do you expect me to do about it? Fk outta here. Saara is an insanely beautiful person and her height only adds to that.
@@joanxo666 the audacity of these lunatics is just insane honestly. Like should I metamorph myself by a sheer power of will into something that doesn't threaten their ego so much or what? Fk outta here x2
My last girlfriend was about 6', and honestly, that was the first time I realized how self-conscious tall women often feel. As someone who's actually particularly attracted to tall women, I really had to learn how to... navigate around that because you don't want to keep bringing up the one thing your significant other hates about their own appearance even if it's something you actually think is hot. I'm also 6', by the way, but now that I think about it, the other guys she's dated that I know about were all shorter than her, so there seems to be something to that for sure...
Yesss as a tiny woman I noticed often short men go for tall women as they should tall women are gorgeous!!! I feel sad that they don’t realize that their height isn’t as much of an issue that they think it is and that it doesn’t take away from their beauty it might even enhance it.
I'm 180cm and dated both shorter and taller dudes. I don't think short men in particular prefer taller women. Some do, some don't. Just like some men actually do prefer tall women and some don't. My current partner is 197cm tall while my ex was 175cm. Both was chill as both were confident in their height.
im 5’9, so im like right at the border of being a tall girl. ive hated it and loved it. concerts are rlly great but walking around with the friends i feel like a giant. i love being able to reach things, but jeans never fit. i just wish it didnt fck with me that much but especially when it comes to finding a parter, it is soo difficult to get someone who isnt insecure about how they look with me. thank u for speaking up abt it
This is a true story from a little over 20 years ago. I dated a 6'2" girl (I'm 5'11") in college. We had been in the same friend group for a little while, but the first time i went to pick her up at her apt she was wearing these flat shoes and i knew better. I looked at her, shook my head and said, "take me to your room and let me see your shoes." We went in to her room and I asked her, "C_______, what shoes do you _want_ to wear?" Bro, she gasped when i asked her that. She picked out a different pair of shoes and was gleaming. I put them on her. Got back out to the truck and she kissed me when i opened the door for her. She may have been the one that got away.
Dude, I'm a 5'10 female. I understand the insincerities that come with being a tall girl. Everything that you said has happened to me and has been said to me as well. The audacity of people sometimes.
When you're 6'1", it feels different. I know people who are 5'8" or 9" who I guess are considered "tall" for women, and when they complain about it I'm like ugh, try being almost 6 foot 2 haha
I am 5'10 and I always struggled with insecurity about my height, especially in high school. There were a lot of comments, (particularly from all the boys that I was taller then), and I always ended up feeling like an outcast. I never looked right in pictures, and it caused me so much stress to the point where I would walk hunched to blend in. However, at 20 years old, I LOVE being a tall girl. Much as you said, I often feel safe when walking alone, I am an inconvenient kidnapping target, I help people reach things, and I love how my legs look in pretty dresses and heels (even if I am close to 6'3 in my favourite pair). I would not change anything about it now.. except maybe make the standard size of beds longer as my feet sometimes hang out, and whenever I see a tall girl looking confident in herself, it makes my heart swell with joy
Cait you're absolutely gorgeous!! It swells MY heart with joy that you feel such a sense of comradery with other tall girls, that's so awesome to hear. Uplift each other, not tear each other apart!
I'm a short girl (4'11) and people always ask what my height is. I'm a 22 y.o and since I was in 8th grade I've been hearing the same jokes about my height. Idk why people enjoy so much making other people uncomfortable. Tysm for this video, makes me feel a little better about my height. For the people that always brings up someone's height: be kinder, smarter and don't ask about that. Everyone can look themselves in the mirror everyday so no need to remind something.
Dam. I wish I could go back in time and take back the couple of times I teased a friend about her height. I don't think I really realized that I was doing it at the time. My Mom is short, and my first girlfriend was short, so my association with short women is very positive. This friend seemed to really like me though, so I hope that is because I contributed some positivity to her life.
@@OMGMyHypeBoyKeita You might still grow. I think I was still a little short when I was in grade 8, but by grade 11, I was 6 feet tall. I'm male though. I think girls sometimes stop growing earlier than boys.
I’m 6’2 and it’s been very challenging for me to accept my height. Especially that I am taller than most men I see around. A guy at work told me he was scared when he first saw me, because of my height. It felt terrible. I feel like I loose a lot of good human interactions because people feel intimidated by my height. Thank you for making this video ❤ and thanks to everyone sharing their stories in the comments
I hope you won't mind me saying so but tall women have such a capacity for power. Their height seems to physically command respect. That man at your work is the one with the issue for being intimidated by a woman taller than him. That's his problem, not yours. I hope you can wear your impressive stature with the pride it deserves.
@@GeorgiaGeorgette YES this! I've had a similar experience to OP's. IN HIGHSCHOOL. My history teacher (I assume he was like, 5`10 and I'm a full 6) told me that he's scared of me because of my size. Boy did that scar me for quite some time as an impressionable teenager. I felt like a freak that even grown men were afraid of me! Honestly kinda hate him to this day for that But now that I'm 26, and that came with a lot of introspection and experience, I wouldn't have myself any other way anymore. I ALREADY feel kinda short in comparison after I take my heels off 😂 And then I imagine if I was even shorter than that and like. NOPE. Us tall girlies take our height for granted and we honestly shouldn't! Recall in your head all the situations where you felt threatened or intimidated by someone. NOT looking up at them, but instead looking down or straight is already SUCH a power move. That was honestly my saving grace in an abusive relationship. I didn't feel as powerless and miserable as I would if he was towering over me. Same for my colleagues, classmates, abusive mom (she's also 6 ft lol), just Karens causing troubles out in the wild. Sometimes a confident, calm and arrogant look down is enough to put them all in their place lol.
Oh my gosh! I can so relate to what you said! I'm a 6'2 gal and would always get comments. My husband and I went out on a date at olive garden and this man and woman said" Oh my gosh! Did you see her! And did nothing but stare at us the whole time. And their are shorter guys who love us long legged woman. My hubby is 5'8 and he loves it!!!😊
I'm your hubby's height, and the tall girls we're always chill and sweet, it's weird but I feel tall on the inside but I'm fine with my height, as long as I can move my body, I'm happy. I don't come across issues, unless I take a wrong turn on the internet.
As a short man I find this talk empowering. It has been a great struggle to find a partner who is not so interested in finding a taller, confident man, but now that I've found one, I'm sure to hold on to them... Best of luck to you.
I’ve missed you so much! I did a big rewatch of all your videos few weeks ago and thought “god, I wish she was back”. And you are! You’ve become my “comfort person” many years ago, because you’re real and unbothered 😂 thanks to you my almost 27 years old ass has grown to be myself more (in weird and sometimes cringy way) at the daily basis. Thank you for that ❤
I have a south African friend at 5'6". Her husband is 6'7". At the church, everyone recognised him as the tall guy. She told me in private, he hates hearing it because thats all ppl say based on his physical characteristics. It gets annoying and ppl should not keep bringing out about a physical characteristics about first thing on a random person. But ppl are rude. Short ppl get jealous too and like to point out any physical characteristics like its something wrong. You didn't do anything wrong by saying how short are you to thst lady who had to be so obvious. It teaches them a reason not to be rude and think smarter than fuckin dumb to ppl in general
This is amazing. I'm 6'1 almost 6'2 and I've never heard another woman talk about feeling safer due to being tall/intimidating, but it is so so so true. Really amazing side benefit of being tall.
Happened to me once, when a random middle-aged woman came to me as I minded my own business at my niece's school, and she said "how much do you weight?" and i was like..😮😮..blank stared at her for a moment and said "havier than you of course" with a smile😊 and then she left. Didn't she understand the part where we were strangers? How could you say that to a person you don't even know?? She didn't even say hi. It was so weird 😂😂 The struggle of being not in a beauty standard is real and we need to have attitude like you sara 👏🏻👏🏻 thanks for sharing
I really like how Sara referred to it as "socially unintelligent" because truly, that's what it is Because at the end of the day that's what it is - low IQ people who can't follow social cues lol (in the bin!!)
Thank you so much! I am 5 foot eight and I’ve always wanted to be taller, so often I comment on taller women’s height because I think it’s beautiful, but I never thought how inappropriate it could be. You’re absolutely right about how it’s just like commenting on any other insecurity. Thank you for the wisdom to treat people better!
Thank you for learning it's appreciated! :) For me asking about my height or shoe size is the same as asking most people about their weight, makes me very uncomfortable and insecure.
@@mariejacobsen4956 for me shoesize info is so intimate somehow (and feet in general, I never even wear open shoes because of that, not even in summer) that it's like asking a guy what's the size of their member out of the blue lol
Proud Danish short king here (5'7) showing support and love. More proud after watching this video. It used to bother me walking among my towering Nordic buddies, but I don't mind it anymore. Also, I'm good at climbing trees anyways. I'm gonna find my skyscraper one day!
Sara you are so cool and have the confidence I wish I could have!🤗 as a 5’11/180 cm girl who was bullied all school years for being tall, it did crush me and I try to make myself smaller all the time. I know it’s not good and honestly it’s hurting my back so much🥺 I have been following you since the beginning and you are really inspiring🫶
I’m also 180, but I don’t know why, but I always wanted to be tall and always felt okay in my hight. If i were a couple centimeters higher, I wouldn’t mind that. I dunno - it is kinda cool! Even though shopping is hell, dating isn’t easy and beds are kinda shortish. Our height is like a statement and I love it
@@Diana030993 I love that for you☺️ I realized it’s not so bad being tall, but the endless comments and harrassing did something to me, I listened too much to the bullies and took their words for truth. Luckily I found a boyfriend who doesn’t mind and he’s actually a bit shorter than me😙 in the end there’s nothing we can do about our heights and we should own it🫶
Please stand tall. You are the length you are. But your body will hurt and you will look rather sad if you try to shrink and look shorter. The only men scared of tall women are guys with ego issues. And it's perfect if you can quickly detect them and then just ignore them as defective goods.
As a Man reading, why would you hide your genetical prowess, which tallness is? Midgets try to bully tall. Ridiculous. Usually the most stupid and usually not so good looking girls do that, because they are jealous.
I am 6'2 and the journey of accepting and embracing my height is definitely a difficult one. I am at better place now compared to my teenage years but sometimes my confidence is at an all-time low because of my height. Thank you for making videos like this, because it feels like a 'you got this' for all of us tall women ❤
Why do you not like your height? The taller the better. I'm a 6'4 guy and tall women are awesome. I want a tall woman, not a short 5'5 woman that looks like she's my kid or a sister.
@@mcgmgc I am also 6'2 and people told me, i was too tall for this world, that tall women are not feminine enough, that it doesn't look cute, that women should be short, that they are intimidated by my height, that i will have a hard time finding a partner, if i ever find one. People avoided me in school and guys made fun of me, when they were shorter. All this contributed in me hating my height for such a long time. It is nice that you as a tall guy are looking for a tall women but most tall men i encountered still felt insecure because i was taller than them or same height, even men taller than me would tell me, i am quite tall and then become weird... The reality of us tall women is, that most tall men won't approach us.
@@soleil7259 They may be tall, but short in self-esteem. They may be looking for an easy way to feel dominant. And it is really easy to feel dominant next to a short little woman. I suppose you can either be a little bolder, do a bit more seduction towards those tall guys. Or, set your standards higher ... go find out where the tall multimillionaires or models hang out. Best option is ... just go shorter. We're better anyway.
@@anlihaywood7448 You should move! I am a woman, 6'2 tall and because I am Dutch no one thinks it's a super big deal. Most guys here are about my height or even taller. Perks of being born in the tallest country of the world I guess XD
As a 6" woman, I've NEVER related to a video more than this. I'm French but I can tell you tall women struggles are the same almost everywhere in the world. The ONLY place I've felt like I blended in pretty well was Amsterdam because Dutch women are my people ! Everyone in my family is tall except my older sister who is a little over 5.5ft. However, she married a 6.5ft man and one of my nieces is super tall as well. So when we go out together, everyone assumes I'm related to my brother in law and people STARE, make remarks, stop us. It's a lot. However, it's even worse when I go out with my little sister who is also 6". I get that we are a bit out of the ordinary but we've always been tall and sometimes I would like to forget that I am tall. Don't get me wrong, I feel like a badass Queen most of the time but I would just like to forget that I am tall because people will ALWAYS remind me.
I love being tall! (176, although i ALWAYS wear chunky shoes so most of the time I’m more like 182), and my bf is also very tall (198), so we’re the tall couple 😂🫶🏽 Also a tip for the pantyhose: Lindex’s pantyhoses are the only ones that I’m able to wear 🙌🏽
Im 5'11 and love it. Never felt insecure about it or negative. I love being taller or at eye height with most men. It forces them to kinda take you seriously tbh. People dont try to intimidate me like they do with shorter women!
but your wiki says you're 6'1! girl get and own that extra inch!! SO SO happy you're back and speaking up on important things. love your take, your style and your speech peppering (a turd in a fruitbowl, perfect, lmao). i'm waiting for the follow-up video on how cleaning tools like vacuums are NOT made for tall women. ever use a dyson stick? if you're a tall woman, it gives you a blister right on the top of your thumb!!
It is so damn common to comment on "tallness" regarding taller women. People do not seem to say this to short/shorter women in a similar manner or with negative connotations. It is unreal. The average here is like 169cm for women. Average. I am 175cm. I moved to a smaller city and people are shorter around here in the south. Girls around 155-165cm always say I am so tall. So so tall. Makes me feel like a tower, like they never met anyone as tall as me. I was totally average in my class back up north. Fuck, it annoys me sometimes. On petty days I just call them elves with some attitude added. Calling someone an elf here is a bit mean but playful.
Damn! as a 160cm pixie, it never crossed my mind that tall women were insecure about their height. I've been so jealous my entire life cuz no matter how much I stretched during my teenage years, I stayed this short 🙃. Being tall gives you a whole different level of confidence regardless of your gender. So to all the tall women: embrace it!!! Everything goes so well on you and as someone who hates wearing high heels, you have no idea how envious I am 😅
We all want what we don’t have. Women generally love heels, at least once in a while on occasions. I don’t remember the last time I wore them. I’m 5’8, almost always the tallest in my friends except maybe few times. My hb is barely few cm taller and we look just about the same. He couldn’t care less and I don’t care much either but when it comes to heels I don’t wear them, just feels weird, not worth it… although it makes me sad If I start thinking about it bcs I’m very girly and wear a lot of dresses. Always had to have shoes I didn’t really like. I’m 40 now so Ive grown to not think much about it but as a 18-20 yr old I definitely remember feeling sad often.
I'm short (4'5") and it's frustrating how many people point it out, and how they make judgements based on my height. I've never been jealous of tall people though, because I know they have it just as hard as I do. We both have trouble finding clothes, making stuff for the average height person work for us, we both get stared at, made fun of, get our heights commented on all the time, it's like we're two halves of the same circle. It's not all bad though, you listed some positives of being tall, and one big positive about being short for me is the fact that I can get out of talking to salespeople and just pretty much anyone who doesn't know me because they think I'm a kid and want to wait until there's an adult around, I hate being trapped in awkward conversation with people, so I see that as a huge upside.
I wasn't aware that height was something women were ever insecure about. I always admired both tall and short women. Women are just gorgeous period. I'm just ignorant. Something about tall women, to me.....they're majestic. Though, I'm aware guys are insecure about being short.
This video is everything I needed first thing in the morning. ❤ thank you for hitting the nail on the head and sharing. From comments to clothes you said it all. ❤❤
I'm 6'1", 185cm, can relate to this a lot! It was quite tough as a teenager, when I was 16 I was already 6ft, and it being commented on wherever I went, sticking out like a sore thumb when you're shy and awkward and don't want anyone looking at you! For what it's worth, I'm in my 30s now and those comments have dropped off considerably. But I still wish I could blend into the crowd sometimes! But it's so true how people feel the need to comment on your appearance out of nowhere! And there's no good response to "you're so tall!" it's like "yes..." 😂 Positives like you said; reaching things, being able to see at concerts, and less able to be bodily intimidated by someone. Negatives: Fitting into seats on buses and planes!! Clothes!! More difficult to find a partner. Wish we could have a group somewhere to discuss where to find clothes!
Not only girls that feels that way. I'm 6ft and was like that at age 13-14 and was just skin and bone. Shy and never deared to talk to females, because akwardness. Hight never bothered me, but being skinny did!
My wife is 6’2” and I’m just under 6. The amount of grief she’s had in her life and still gets us ridiculous. People always come over and state the bloody obvious! Would you go over to an overweight person and point it out? My wife has a longer reach so I’m also careful in how I word things 😂 Great video that hits home x
I THINK that most people think they are being complimentary when they mention tallness., because most people want to be taller than they are. Especially men. I know I would love to be 5' 9
Love this intimate format Sara. I could here you talking about anything, you're just so eloquent, well spoken and yet funny. Maybe it sounds ironic, but you should consider making a podcast.
I don't think I'm that tall at 175 cm, but I'm still almost always the tallest in a friend group and getting jeans is a hard one. I love my height though, wouldn't change a thing about it. I absolutely also feel safer due to my height but I'm not tall enough to feel completely safe lol.
@@musliovci5719 Being bigger makes you a harder target than being smaller. Even if no one actually wants anything bad to you, it is a form of mental relief to know that not everyone can easily attack you.
I love this video and your message here! Totally relate. As 5’10 I always avoid heels etc unless going out with other tall women. It’s empowering to be tall and strong for sure, my figure looks great, and for all those other reasons you mentioned - but as women I feel we are raised to desire to be small, take up less space, be delicate and girlish. It feels a bit dysphoric when I feel alienated from being those things sometimes. It runs both ways - I get hit on a lot but it’s usually genuinely by funny, confident and good hearted men (or women, they love it 🤣) but I don’t have creepy men try to follow me home, or pursue me despite rejection, or attract those weird alpha male Andrew Tate kind of men that my beautiful much shorter friends do. Despite how strong and fit they really are, something about their implied physical weakness attracts a different type of man. Never as an adult woman have I felt in danger walking home at night or physically weak around men. So that I believe is a gift to cherish.
I’m 6’2” and I just want to thank you so much for making this. I’m 22 and finally in a place where I feel confident in my height. I wish I could’ve shown younger me this video
This was very well done, your balance of humor and seriousness was really great to watch. I'm not very tall but a lot of my family is way, way taller than average, and this is definitely something I wish people had more understanding about.
Thank you for this video. Being 5'10 along with lacking curves always made me feel less feminine and like I was some kind of freak. I dressed masculine as a teen even though It completely didn't fit my personality just because I felt like that's what I was supposed to do with my looks. It can be really confusing until you figure some things out.
I hope that by now you know that femininity comes in all shapes and sizes! It's about how you feel and behave and not what a damn measuring tape says lol! I hate how we were indoctrinated by hollywood movies and universal sizing that ReAl women can only be ONE thing
5'10" is a nice height. It's hard for me to sympathise at over 6'1" because a few inches makes a huge difference. It's the difference between being nice and tall and fitting into clothes and shoes, and basically a circus attraction haha. My mum is your height and I don't think strangers even really comment on it
@@jj-if6it your comment actually means a lot to me. I know that there are taller women and all but yeah,I was bullied quite a lot because of my height which made me extremely insecure. I don't think I have it the worst ever so yeah.
@@pokorny1969 that's interesting because I've never really been bullied, only received compliments. I wonder if it makes a difference where you grow up
@@jj-if6it could be... initially I never really thought anything bad about my height but It was other people who made me hate it,always talking about how I'm not feminine and my height made me look like a man etc etc etc
Thank you for this video ❤ I’m also 6ft tall and I’ve struggled to accept it most of my life, I permanently feel like I stand out in a really bad way. Always wished I could be a “normal” height and blend in with everyone else.
I don’t care anymore about physical appearance 😅 thanks for the video, it reminded me of my moments of insecurities. Let’s just embrace ourselves the way we are, inside and outside 💖
sä oot niin älykäs, huumorintajuinen ja kaunis ihminen ulkoa ja sisältä!❤️🥰🙏👍 tuhannet kiitokset tästä videosta! Tosi mielenkiintoinen aihe, ihmisen pituus ylipäätään.. oon kattonu paljon dokumentteja sekä tosi pitkistä sekä lyhyistä ihmisistä ja sen vaikutuksista 😊 Susta tulee niin hyvä fiilis ja tulee semmonen tunne että olis ihanaa olla sun kaveri (NOT in A creepy stalker way) 😄❤️ Ihanaa perjantaita sulle! ❤️🙏
Nothing beats confidence in how you are. I have seen tall women walking with a stoop and have thought walk tall, embrace who you are, confidence is attractive. You are a confident woman so walk tall Sara.
I feel like as a 6 foot girl I feel like I always take up too much space.. always trying to look smaller and skinnier, even as a normal sized girl I look bigger because I’m so tall! In photos next to my friends I look HUGE I never wear heels etc.. it’s so dumb! And I know it’s so dumb! But people constantly comment on it as you grow up and it gets to you.. I’ve had people tell me they’d never date me because I’m too tall, old men ask me if it’s hard to find a boyfriend bc I’m so tall, I’ve had older woman tell me I’m TOO tall. Not to mention NOTHING FITS..EVER! It makes you feel like you’re literally too big to exist normally. My boyfriend is shorter than me and he loves me and he loves my height.. and without all the societal pressure.. I love being tall. I can reach everything! I just wish people would stop commenting on it
I’m 1m83 and for years, I was insecure about it. I always bought flats but admired heels and the owner of my favourite shoe shop noticed this. He commented that I’m tall with or without heels and that the heels are made for models who are my height anyway. He gave me such a boost, and sold me loads of lovely heels over the years! Now, I live in Spain, however, and I’m a giant here… Not going to let out get me down, though!!!
it always amazes me when other girls compliment my height and say they wish they were as tall as me, it makes me realise the rest of the world doesn't see me as a big footed clumsy giant the way i am in my head 😅 i also love when someone asks for my help getting something down from a high shelf, and the risk of kidnap is lower so its not all bad. nice knowing the tall girl experience is pretty universal
I'm a 6 foot woman, and everything you said is true! The random comments of my height happens all the time. Usually starts with a look at my feet, they see I'm wearing flats, and then the comment "you're really tall". Never gets old....I can't buy clothes in store after the ONLY store that sold tall womens clothes closed down. My husband is my height, but I dated one guy who was shorter than me back in college (only for a few weeks) and he would walk on his tip toes when he walked next to me (I wouldn't always refer to him as twinkle toes to my friends afterwards).
Its literally never okay to comment on someones appearance. And even if it was, dont you think i know im tall? I literally live in my body, believe it or not, and you dont know what my mental relation is with it. 😴
Yeah but then, people usually say it with a sense of compliment-ish manner usually. People can't be constantly careful about everything that goes on within your mind
You did not just say skyscraper coochie!!! 😂 What a wonderful comeback video. Besides all the jokes, this is such an important topic. Hope everybody starts being more kind to others and more aware of how hurtful unnecessary comments can be.
I'm 6ft2 and in my mid twenties. I love being tall. Didnt always but since it helped me in my sport I also often heard good things about being tall. Just not from my peers. And I really hate it that too many men are insecure about height. I wouldnt mind dating a man thats shorter than me but some cant even deal with being 1cm shorter or the same height as me. I love the part you said about camaraderie. Whenever I spot a tall girl in public I immediately like them, cheer them on internally and oftentimes we smile at each other. Just two tall ass women killing it and carrying their height proudly
Off topic, loved the ending LMAO 😂 I was like “damn she’s gonna use every single saying there is” and then I got an AD and I was laughing like “she took so long we needed a break”. And then after the ad, assuming you’d continue with the sayings, the video ended and I just busted out laughing 😂😂 It was so damn funny to me ok byeee! 😂
OMG, you just described my life to a T . I'm 65 now and have experienced everything you've just described. l😂 99% of the time it's been an extremely positive life I'm happy to say. I had certain privileges that regular size women didn't get. But if I had a Nicole for every time someone began a conversation with me with - wow, you're tall - I'd be rich. Continue enjoying your wonderful life and ignore the petty jealousy.
"A chin of a general" 😂😂😂 i love you so much ❤ and i have to say, not all tall men like short girls. I had a gym trainer who was 6.56 ft (2 meters, yes, no joke) and he said he doesnt date much because all girls are short/average and he feels like he looks like their dad or a kidnapper 😂 so he wanted someone who was taller, probably someone like you 🤗
@@eyeswideopen7777 he literally is a basket ball player 🤣 idk even models aren't as tall as him but I think someone as tall as our girl Sara would be tall enough hehe
I'm late to this video but I relate so much! Especially now that I have rounded shoulders and lower back pain because I was always slouching to make myself appear shorter... I just feel weird standing tall, especially when short guys keep starting you down...
I LOVE your sense of humor! Ending a video with ".. if you are going take anything with you from watching this video that I made for you today, um, the bottom line is, in conclusion, all things considered, at the end of the day, when all is said and done, when push comes to shove, what it all boils down to, ultimately .. " 😂 (for fun I'll have a go at what might have been next) 😉 " .. it really doesn't matter, because each and everyone of us is uniquely different, yet we try to find something in common that we can relate to, while creating memories before our life ends, finding true meaning of life in the end being all about the love we shared." I'm average height while most of my family from both my parents, my siblings, my nieces and nephew are 6' tall or taller. Interesting is that my maternal grandfather was average height .. meaning like 5' 8" while he adored my grandmother as she was tall .. at least 6' tall. Like my grandfather, I am a photographer, writer, or just call me a journalist. I am also Intergendered as I was born with all the male parts but jumbled up with female as if a twin sister just didn't develop? Who knows? The doctor cut out the female organs. That's another story for me to tell because I endured multiple surgeries through out my life. The vast majority of people can't tell because .. well, I wear pants. 🤣 I identify as male and have since childhood, but I know I am different. In childhood through out school, I did get bullied. You are inspiring me to come out fully as exactly who I am because it has been so difficult to find love in a World where so many people want to categorize and label everyone as either male or female when we all have the hormones estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone in us. Every single one of us is unique. What brings us all together is that we all want love. The older we get, the more we realize that a lifetime is not long at all. Leave love and memories!
I admire how witty and funny you are 🎯💯🥰 Not to mention beautiful 😍 I'm a tall woman myself, 181 cm. I have dated both taller and shorter men. My husband is 10 cm shorter than me. The height difference is not an issue if both are ok with their heights. The men I've dated who have been shorter than me have admired my looks. The only thing that would bother me is if a guy weighed less than me 🤣
im 6ft here and completely relate to the complexities & nuances of what you've discussed here! On the flip side, something I've noticed particularly with my short female (adult) friends is how often they are infantilised by men! Not being taken seriously, more easily pushed around, more objectified (e.g. I've seen men (strangers) fully pick up short female friends without asking like what??????) and I generally find that the height, especially on a woman, commands more respect. I find that men will talk to me like im an equal (or 'one of the guys' which is itself a conflicting sensation) vs how you can see they are registering they are talking to a woman, or someone who they deem 'lesser' than, when speaking to short women - its sad really when you come to notice this things but its made me able to call out that behaviour to men & stick up for women
I find you mesmerizing your quick-witted, smart, very accepting of your height. I see why you are successful at this . I wish I was younger, I have typically dated women taller than I am and actually was married to a girl very close to 6 ft. The long-term relationship we had just simply faded apart it had nothing to do with our height difference. I'm 5'8 and she is 5'11 and a little bit more. Before she met me she always wanted somebody tall and wouldn't you know it, when we got divorced she found somebody tall and married him and no it wasn't a fling or anything like that, it just happened a few months after we were divorced.
There are guys into tall women out there, but you have to make sure they 1) have other traits you are looking for not just "ok with tall women" and 2) they aren't one of the ones looking to fetishize you bc they are definitely out there (though I feel you will quickly find they do not have the personality you're looking for anyway) I'm 180cm and have a friend who is a little taller, which is nice, but dammit if she doesn't have small feet so she has a much better pick of shoes 😭 The average height around here (midwestern US) for women I don't think is that tall but I definitely see many as tall or taller than I am when I'm out, which makes me happy 😊
"Just like how God did with you" I'm DEAD, I audibly and unexpectedly snorted at that remark. God didn't forget MY legs (thankfully) but LOL that's the wittiest thing I've heard all year xD Side note - I'm not as tall as you but being 5'8 and bi-racially Asian has been a challenge. It's been a huge insecurity my entire life and even as a toddler I dreamed to "grow up" to be small and cute :') I love your positivity and I hope to remember your encouragement every time my brain tries to be mean to itself for being relatively far from the ground.
yes! It keeps surprising me how many people just comment about my height like of course i know that im tall. And its even more annoying when people assume that im insecure about that. Its cool that i never have to worry that can i see a gig in the audience
Watched 5 of your videos starting with I'm genetically male, and I couldn't stop laughing (except that first one of course). You basically took all the personality that was available for other people being born in the same year you were😂. Had to subscribe, and I rarely do that
Holy shit! I watched your videos like 10 years ago! I just recently looked you up to see if you made recent content, but your last video was 2 years ago! Now I see you’re making videos again! 🥰 missed you girl, so happy to see what you’re up to. (Not creepy or anything) 😂Much love ❤️
I’m 6ft and let me tell you there is nothing more confidence destroying than being a tall teenage girl when not only strangers but also relatives and EVERYONE around you comments on how tall you are. As I got older people got used to it and I love being the way I am but I have noticed that if someone’s gonna comment on it its always men who’s opinion no one asked for.
🤡
Wow, you sure are short-tempered!
I'll see myself out.
@@wisemage0 no one asked for this or your other comments so my point was valid :)
It’s the exact same thing if you’re short! Seems like we can’t ever win as women
Im a woman and i honestly loved it when ppl would say im tall ! But I get how for most who dislike being tall it could bring up negative feelings
I have never felt more okay to be short, than when she called us shorties "anklebiters"
Hahahaha it was the 'all they smell is dirt and fart' after that for me 😂
as a short guy that got me good hahaha
shes got jokes. funny lady
Same 😂
8:10 “Calling all short kings! Together we are stronger. Skyscraper coochie this way!” has me losing my absolute shit I love you SO much
As a fellow 6ft lady, I feel youuuu. Tall girls unite, let's make a community and share the best clothing/shoes findings 🙏
Yessss
So why is no one sharing?
learn to sew clothing yourself, its far less difficult then you think, and so much fun
“You’re too tall for a women” like what do you expect me to do about it? Fk outta here. Saara is an insanely beautiful person and her height only adds to that.
"Oh no, I hadn't noticed, you're so right, better cut off my legs then" like dude, what do you expect? 😂
@@joanxo666 the audacity of these lunatics is just insane honestly. Like should I metamorph myself by a sheer power of will into something that doesn't threaten their ego so much or what? Fk outta here x2
But the dude KNEW she was biologically a man from just looking. Wow kudos to him.
@@Jelena2022 You are too f*cking short to be a human being, have you checked if you are stuck in the ape stadium? Your brain sure are.
My last girlfriend was about 6', and honestly, that was the first time I realized how self-conscious tall women often feel. As someone who's actually particularly attracted to tall women, I really had to learn how to... navigate around that because you don't want to keep bringing up the one thing your significant other hates about their own appearance even if it's something you actually think is hot.
I'm also 6', by the way, but now that I think about it, the other guys she's dated that I know about were all shorter than her, so there seems to be something to that for sure...
Yesss as a tiny woman I noticed often short men go for tall women as they should tall women are gorgeous!!! I feel sad that they don’t realize that their height isn’t as much of an issue that they think it is and that it doesn’t take away from their beauty it might even enhance it.
I'm 180cm and dated both shorter and taller dudes. I don't think short men in particular prefer taller women. Some do, some don't. Just like some men actually do prefer tall women and some don't. My current partner is 197cm tall while my ex was 175cm. Both was chill as both were confident in their height.
im 5’9, so im like right at the border of being a tall girl. ive hated it and loved it. concerts are rlly great but walking around with the friends i feel like a giant. i love being able to reach things, but jeans never fit. i just wish it didnt fck with me that much but especially when it comes to finding a parter, it is soo difficult to get someone who isnt insecure about how they look with me. thank u for speaking up abt it
i love how sara always tries to explain what she means with an example bc we're her little silly geese 💓
Her analogy habit is entertaining for sure.
"Okay, imagine if you are... "
“You’re so hard to kidnap” LOL
This is a true story from a little over 20 years ago. I dated a 6'2" girl (I'm 5'11") in college. We had been in the same friend group for a little while, but the first time i went to pick her up at her apt she was wearing these flat shoes and i knew better. I looked at her, shook my head and said, "take me to your room and let me see your shoes." We went in to her room and I asked her, "C_______, what shoes do you _want_ to wear?" Bro, she gasped when i asked her that. She picked out a different pair of shoes and was gleaming. I put them on her. Got back out to the truck and she kissed me when i opened the door for her. She may have been the one that got away.
Dude, I'm a 5'10 female. I understand the insincerities that come with being a tall girl. Everything that you said has happened to me and has been said to me as well. The audacity of people sometimes.
same here, 5’10”

@@MyFriendlyPup ??
When you're 6'1", it feels different. I know people who are 5'8" or 9" who I guess are considered "tall" for women, and when they complain about it I'm like ugh, try being almost 6 foot 2 haha
@@PutinsMommyNeverHuggedHim5'10" gang represent
I am 5'10 and I always struggled with insecurity about my height, especially in high school. There were a lot of comments, (particularly from all the boys that I was taller then), and I always ended up feeling like an outcast. I never looked right in pictures, and it caused me so much stress to the point where I would walk hunched to blend in. However, at 20 years old, I LOVE being a tall girl. Much as you said, I often feel safe when walking alone, I am an inconvenient kidnapping target, I help people reach things, and I love how my legs look in pretty dresses and heels (even if I am close to 6'3 in my favourite pair). I would not change anything about it now.. except maybe make the standard size of beds longer as my feet sometimes hang out, and whenever I see a tall girl looking confident in herself, it makes my heart swell with joy
Cait you're absolutely gorgeous!! It swells MY heart with joy that you feel such a sense of comradery with other tall girls, that's so awesome to hear. Uplift each other, not tear each other apart!
I'm a short girl (4'11) and people always ask what my height is. I'm a 22 y.o and since I was in 8th grade I've been hearing the same jokes about my height. Idk why people enjoy so much making other people uncomfortable. Tysm for this video, makes me feel a little better about my height.
For the people that always brings up someone's height: be kinder, smarter and don't ask about that. Everyone can look themselves in the mirror everyday so no need to remind something.
Exactly! I am 26 yo and 5ft “tall” and family members are always comparing me with my 12yo cousins and that gets me every fuckin time
I’m in 8th grade rn that’s around 4’11 and getting the same jokes abt my height… and I’m afraid I won’t grow any taller 💀
Dam.
I wish I could go back in time and take back the couple of times I teased a friend about her height.
I don't think I really realized that I was doing it at the time.
My Mom is short, and my first girlfriend was short, so my association with short women is very positive.
This friend seemed to really like me though, so I hope that is because I contributed some positivity to her life.
I have no issue with short girls only taller woman.
@@OMGMyHypeBoyKeita
You might still grow. I think I was still a little short when I was in grade 8, but by grade 11, I was 6 feet tall.
I'm male though. I think girls sometimes stop growing earlier than boys.
I’m 6’2 and it’s been very challenging for me to accept my height. Especially that I am taller than most men I see around.
A guy at work told me he was scared when he first saw me, because of my height. It felt terrible.
I feel like I loose a lot of good human interactions because people feel intimidated by my height.
Thank you for making this video ❤ and thanks to everyone sharing their stories in the comments
I hope you won't mind me saying so but tall women have such a capacity for power. Their height seems to physically command respect. That man at your work is the one with the issue for being intimidated by a woman taller than him. That's his problem, not yours. I hope you can wear your impressive stature with the pride it deserves.
You should have told him you were acared of his face! 😤
@@GeorgiaGeorgette YES this! I've had a similar experience to OP's. IN HIGHSCHOOL. My history teacher (I assume he was like, 5`10 and I'm a full 6) told me that he's scared of me because of my size. Boy did that scar me for quite some time as an impressionable teenager. I felt like a freak that even grown men were afraid of me! Honestly kinda hate him to this day for that
But now that I'm 26, and that came with a lot of introspection and experience, I wouldn't have myself any other way anymore. I ALREADY feel kinda short in comparison after I take my heels off 😂 And then I imagine if I was even shorter than that and like. NOPE. Us tall girlies take our height for granted and we honestly shouldn't! Recall in your head all the situations where you felt threatened or intimidated by someone. NOT looking up at them, but instead looking down or straight is already SUCH a power move. That was honestly my saving grace in an abusive relationship. I didn't feel as powerless and miserable as I would if he was towering over me. Same for my colleagues, classmates, abusive mom (she's also 6 ft lol), just Karens causing troubles out in the wild. Sometimes a confident, calm and arrogant look down is enough to put them all in their place lol.
Love that, my sister is 6'2" and I'm 6'1". I definitely think men are intimidated by us because I've never been approached by one ever haha
@@Li_Tobler It's so ridiculous, why would height be scary anyway
Oh my gosh! I can so relate to what you said! I'm a 6'2 gal and would always get comments. My husband and I went out on a date at olive garden and this man and woman said" Oh my gosh! Did you see her! And did nothing but stare at us the whole time. And their are shorter guys who love us long legged woman. My hubby is 5'8 and he loves it!!!😊
I'm 6ft male and I do indeed love tall ladies! So your hubby is not alone 🙂
I'm your hubby's height, and the tall girls we're always chill and sweet, it's weird but I feel tall on the inside but I'm fine with my height, as long as I can move my body, I'm happy. I don't come across issues, unless I take a wrong turn on the internet.
As a short man I find this talk empowering. It has been a great struggle to find a partner who is not so interested in finding a taller, confident man, but now that I've found one, I'm sure to hold on to them... Best of luck to you.
I’ve missed you so much! I did a big rewatch of all your videos few weeks ago and thought “god, I wish she was back”. And you are! You’ve become my “comfort person” many years ago, because you’re real and unbothered 😂 thanks to you my almost 27 years old ass has grown to be myself more (in weird and sometimes cringy way) at the daily basis. Thank you for that ❤
❤️😍❤️
Sara is so charismatic 🥰
No, charisma is Saratic
My country (Holland) has tons of really tall women. It's normal here.
I have a south African friend at 5'6". Her husband is 6'7". At the church, everyone recognised him as the tall guy. She told me in private, he hates hearing it because thats all ppl say based on his physical characteristics. It gets annoying and ppl should not keep bringing out about a physical characteristics about first thing on a random person. But ppl are rude. Short ppl get jealous too and like to point out any physical characteristics like its something wrong. You didn't do anything wrong by saying how short are you to thst lady who had to be so obvious. It teaches them a reason not to be rude and think smarter than fuckin dumb to ppl in general
we need more of these conversations please.
its interesting hearing people talk about day to day things that no one else would.
This is amazing. I'm 6'1 almost 6'2 and I've never heard another woman talk about feeling safer due to being tall/intimidating, but it is so so so true. Really amazing side benefit of being tall.
We Stan a tall queen 🫣 you’re stunning!
I'm exactly the same height! Also appreciate the feeling of safety, especially when travelling. People don't mess with me
Happened to me once, when a random middle-aged woman came to me as I minded my own business at my niece's school, and she said "how much do you weight?" and i was like..😮😮..blank stared at her for a moment and said "havier than you of course" with a smile😊 and then she left.
Didn't she understand the part where we were strangers? How could you say that to a person you don't even know?? She didn't even say hi. It was so weird 😂😂
The struggle of being not in a beauty standard is real and we need to have attitude like you sara 👏🏻👏🏻 thanks for sharing
we should start responding “who are you?!” to those people lol. what happened to hello? how are you? my name is?
I really like how Sara referred to it as "socially unintelligent" because truly, that's what it is
Because at the end of the day that's what it is - low IQ people who can't follow social cues lol (in the bin!!)
@chancellorpuddinghead 😆 lol that's true
I can’t believe someone would ask you how much you weigh! I would have slapped her! 🫣🤣
Thank you so much! I am 5 foot eight and I’ve always wanted to be taller, so often I comment on taller women’s height because I think it’s beautiful, but I never thought how inappropriate it could be. You’re absolutely right about how it’s just like commenting on any other insecurity. Thank you for the wisdom to treat people better!
Thank you for learning it's appreciated! :) For me asking about my height or shoe size is the same as asking most people about their weight, makes me very uncomfortable and insecure.
@@mariejacobsen4956 for me shoesize info is so intimate somehow (and feet in general, I never even wear open shoes because of that, not even in summer) that it's like asking a guy what's the size of their member out of the blue lol
Proud Danish short king here (5'7) showing support and love. More proud after watching this video. It used to bother me walking among my towering Nordic buddies, but I don't mind it anymore. Also, I'm good at climbing trees anyways. I'm gonna find my skyscraper one day!
Sara you are so cool and have the confidence I wish I could have!🤗 as a 5’11/180 cm girl who was bullied all school years for being tall, it did crush me and I try to make myself smaller all the time. I know it’s not good and honestly it’s hurting my back so much🥺 I have been following you since the beginning and you are really inspiring🫶
I’m also 180, but I don’t know why, but I always wanted to be tall and always felt okay in my hight. If i were a couple centimeters higher, I wouldn’t mind that. I dunno - it is kinda cool! Even though shopping is hell, dating isn’t easy and beds are kinda shortish. Our height is like a statement and I love it
@@Diana030993 I love that for you☺️ I realized it’s not so bad being tall, but the endless comments and harrassing did something to me, I listened too much to the bullies and took their words for truth. Luckily I found a boyfriend who doesn’t mind and he’s actually a bit shorter than me😙 in the end there’s nothing we can do about our heights and we should own it🫶
@@Diana030993where do you live? i am also 180, but there were/are plenty of 190+ men around. 😀
Please stand tall. You are the length you are. But your body will hurt and you will look rather sad if you try to shrink and look shorter.
The only men scared of tall women are guys with ego issues. And it's perfect if you can quickly detect them and then just ignore them as defective goods.
As a Man reading, why would you hide your genetical prowess, which tallness is? Midgets try to bully tall. Ridiculous. Usually the most stupid and usually not so good looking girls do that, because they are jealous.
I am 6'2 and the journey of accepting and embracing my height is definitely a difficult one. I am at better place now compared to my teenage years but sometimes my confidence is at an all-time low because of my height. Thank you for making videos like this, because it feels like a 'you got this' for all of us tall women ❤
Why do you not like your height? The taller the better. I'm a 6'4 guy and tall women are awesome. I want a tall woman, not a short 5'5 woman that looks like she's my kid or a sister.

@@mcgmgc I am also 6'2 and people told me, i was too tall for this world, that tall women are not feminine enough, that it doesn't look cute, that women should be short, that they are intimidated by my height, that i will have a hard time finding a partner, if i ever find one. People avoided me in school and guys made fun of me, when they were shorter. All this contributed in me hating my height for such a long time. It is nice that you as a tall guy are looking for a tall women but most tall men i encountered still felt insecure because i was taller than them or same height, even men taller than me would tell me, i am quite tall and then become weird... The reality of us tall women is, that most tall men won't approach us.
@@soleil7259 They may be tall, but short in self-esteem. They may be looking for an easy way to feel dominant. And it is really easy to feel dominant next to a short little woman. I suppose you can either be a little bolder, do a bit more seduction towards those tall guys. Or, set your standards higher ... go find out where the tall multimillionaires or models hang out.
Best option is ... just go shorter. We're better anyway.
@@anlihaywood7448 You should move! I am a woman, 6'2 tall and because I am Dutch no one thinks it's a super big deal.
Most guys here are about my height or even taller. Perks of being born in the tallest country of the world I guess XD
As a 6" woman, I've NEVER related to a video more than this. I'm French but I can tell you tall women struggles are the same almost everywhere in the world. The ONLY place I've felt like I blended in pretty well was Amsterdam because Dutch women are my people ! Everyone in my family is tall except my older sister who is a little over 5.5ft. However, she married a 6.5ft man and one of my nieces is super tall as well. So when we go out together, everyone assumes I'm related to my brother in law and people STARE, make remarks, stop us. It's a lot. However, it's even worse when I go out with my little sister who is also 6". I get that we are a bit out of the ordinary but we've always been tall and sometimes I would like to forget that I am tall. Don't get me wrong, I feel like a badass Queen most of the time but I would just like to forget that I am tall because people will ALWAYS remind me.
One time I had a lady in Trader Joe’s come up to me and go “yes we LOVE a tall blonde queen!” And I was like PERIOD
I love being tall! (176, although i ALWAYS wear chunky shoes so most of the time I’m more like 182), and my bf is also very tall (198), so we’re the tall couple 😂🫶🏽
Also a tip for the pantyhose: Lindex’s pantyhoses are the only ones that I’m able to wear 🙌🏽
You are seriously one of the funniest people I know of, I love the way you talk!
Im 5'11 and love it. Never felt insecure about it or negative. I love being taller or at eye height with most men. It forces them to kinda take you seriously tbh. People dont try to intimidate me like they do with shorter women!
5:08 "Didn't notice, thanks" this is brilliant
but your wiki says you're 6'1! girl get and own that extra inch!! SO SO happy you're back and speaking up on important things. love your take, your style and your speech peppering (a turd in a fruitbowl, perfect, lmao).
i'm waiting for the follow-up video on how cleaning tools like vacuums are NOT made for tall women. ever use a dyson stick? if you're a tall woman, it gives you a blister right on the top of your thumb!!
It is so damn common to comment on "tallness" regarding taller women. People do not seem to say this to short/shorter women in a similar manner or with negative connotations. It is unreal. The average here is like 169cm for women. Average. I am 175cm. I moved to a smaller city and people are shorter around here in the south. Girls around 155-165cm always say I am so tall. So so tall. Makes me feel like a tower, like they never met anyone as tall as me. I was totally average in my class back up north. Fuck, it annoys me sometimes. On petty days I just call them elves with some attitude added. Calling someone an elf here is a bit mean but playful.
Should move to Norway. Most girls here is 175-180cm :-) Being tall is normal here.
I am 6’2” I’m with you girl! ☮️💜😊
That end 😂 I love how you take the piss out of us. I've missed you.
Damn! as a 160cm pixie, it never crossed my mind that tall women were insecure about their height. I've been so jealous my entire life cuz no matter how much I stretched during my teenage years, I stayed this short 🙃. Being tall gives you a whole different level of confidence regardless of your gender. So to all the tall women: embrace it!!! Everything goes so well on you and as someone who hates wearing high heels, you have no idea how envious I am 😅
We all want what we don’t have. Women generally love heels, at least once in a while on occasions. I don’t remember the last time I wore them. I’m 5’8, almost always the tallest in my friends except maybe few times. My hb is barely few cm taller and we look just about the same. He couldn’t care less and I don’t care much either but when it comes to heels I don’t wear them, just feels weird, not worth it… although it makes me sad If I start thinking about it bcs I’m very girly and wear a lot of dresses. Always had to have shoes I didn’t really like. I’m 40 now so Ive grown to not think much about it but as a 18-20 yr old I definitely remember feeling sad often.
I'm short (4'5") and it's frustrating how many people point it out, and how they make judgements based on my height. I've never been jealous of tall people though, because I know they have it just as hard as I do.
We both have trouble finding clothes, making stuff for the average height person work for us, we both get stared at, made fun of, get our heights commented on all the time, it's like we're two halves of the same circle.
It's not all bad though, you listed some positives of being tall, and one big positive about being short for me is the fact that I can get out of talking to salespeople and just pretty much anyone who doesn't know me because they think I'm a kid and want to wait until there's an adult around, I hate being trapped in awkward conversation with people, so I see that as a huge upside.
From one tall woman to another: WHERE THE HELL DO YOU FIND CLOTHES
This 100%. We need to know. 😅
ASOS tall, Zalando tall-filter, Long Tall Sally, Only tall... So, of course only online but this shops are really helpful
Alloy apparel
I wasn't aware that height was something women were ever insecure about. I always admired both tall and short women. Women are just gorgeous period. I'm just ignorant. Something about tall women, to me.....they're majestic.
Though, I'm aware guys are insecure about being short.
This video is everything I needed first thing in the morning. ❤ thank you for hitting the nail on the head and sharing. From comments to clothes you said it all. ❤❤
I'm 6'1", 185cm, can relate to this a lot! It was quite tough as a teenager, when I was 16 I was already 6ft, and it being commented on wherever I went, sticking out like a sore thumb when you're shy and awkward and don't want anyone looking at you! For what it's worth, I'm in my 30s now and those comments have dropped off considerably. But I still wish I could blend into the crowd sometimes!
But it's so true how people feel the need to comment on your appearance out of nowhere! And there's no good response to "you're so tall!" it's like "yes..." 😂
Positives like you said; reaching things, being able to see at concerts, and less able to be bodily intimidated by someone.
Negatives: Fitting into seats on buses and planes!! Clothes!! More difficult to find a partner.
Wish we could have a group somewhere to discuss where to find clothes!
Not only girls that feels that way. I'm 6ft and was like that at age 13-14 and was just skin and bone. Shy and never deared to talk to females, because akwardness. Hight never bothered me, but being skinny did!
felt every single thing you felt/said in this to my core. i am also a 6ft woman
SHOES!!!! Why in the hell do women's shoes end at size EU40???
My wife is 6’2” and I’m just under 6. The amount of grief she’s had in her life and still gets us ridiculous. People always come over and state the bloody obvious!
Would you go over to an overweight person and point it out?
My wife has a longer reach so I’m also careful in how I word things 😂
Great video that hits home x
I THINK that most people think they are being complimentary when they mention tallness., because most people want to be taller than they are.
Especially men.
I know I would love to be 5' 9
”Forget the legs part… just like god did with you” I WHEEZED 😂😂😂
Love this intimate format Sara. I could here you talking about anything, you're just so eloquent, well spoken and yet funny. Maybe it sounds ironic, but you should consider making a podcast.
Thank you. Just gained a follow! I laughed and felt this to the core. The hardware store took me!
I don't think I'm that tall at 175 cm, but I'm still almost always the tallest in a friend group and getting jeans is a hard one. I love my height though, wouldn't change a thing about it. I absolutely also feel safer due to my height but I'm not tall enough to feel completely safe lol.
at 173 I feel you on the "kinda but not completely safe" comment loll
Im 174 What “safe” are u guys talking about
@@musliovci5719 Being bigger makes you a harder target than being smaller. Even if no one actually wants anything bad to you, it is a form of mental relief to know that not everyone can easily attack you.
I love this video and your message here! Totally relate. As 5’10 I always avoid heels etc unless going out with other tall women. It’s empowering to be tall and strong for sure, my figure looks great, and for all those other reasons you mentioned - but as women I feel we are raised to desire to be small, take up less space, be delicate and girlish. It feels a bit dysphoric when I feel alienated from being those things sometimes. It runs both ways - I get hit on a lot but it’s usually genuinely by funny, confident and good hearted men (or women, they love it 🤣) but I don’t have creepy men try to follow me home, or pursue me despite rejection, or attract those weird alpha male Andrew Tate kind of men that my beautiful much shorter friends do. Despite how strong and fit they really are, something about their implied physical weakness attracts a different type of man. Never as an adult woman have I felt in danger walking home at night or physically weak around men. So that I believe is a gift to cherish.
I’m 6’2” and I just want to thank you so much for making this. I’m 22 and finally in a place where I feel confident in my height. I wish I could’ve shown younger me this video
1:45, I was really hoping you were going to say it's like that spiderman meme where you both just point at each other knowingly.
This was very well done, your balance of humor and seriousness was really great to watch. I'm not very tall but a lot of my family is way, way taller than average, and this is definitely something I wish people had more understanding about.
Thank you for this video. Being 5'10 along with lacking curves always made me feel less feminine and like I was some kind of freak. I dressed masculine as a teen even though It completely didn't fit my personality just because I felt like that's what I was supposed to do with my looks. It can be really confusing until you figure some things out.
I hope that by now you know that femininity comes in all shapes and sizes! It's about how you feel and behave and not what a damn measuring tape says lol! I hate how we were indoctrinated by hollywood movies and universal sizing that ReAl women can only be ONE thing
5'10" is a nice height. It's hard for me to sympathise at over 6'1" because a few inches makes a huge difference. It's the difference between being nice and tall and fitting into clothes and shoes, and basically a circus attraction haha. My mum is your height and I don't think strangers even really comment on it
@@jj-if6it your comment actually means a lot to me. I know that there are taller women and all but yeah,I was bullied quite a lot because of my height which made me extremely insecure. I don't think I have it the worst ever so yeah.
@@pokorny1969 that's interesting because I've never really been bullied, only received compliments. I wonder if it makes a difference where you grow up
@@jj-if6it could be... initially I never really thought anything bad about my height but It was other people who made me hate it,always talking about how I'm not feminine and my height made me look like a man etc etc etc
Thank you for this video ❤
I’m also 6ft tall and I’ve struggled to accept it most of my life, I permanently feel like I stand out in a really bad way. Always wished I could be a “normal” height and blend in with everyone else.
Another beautiful woman with blue eyes blessed with height. If only you knew how beautiful you are
I don’t care anymore about physical appearance 😅 thanks for the video, it reminded me of my moments of insecurities. Let’s just embrace ourselves the way we are, inside and outside 💖
It’s ok u r still sexy and have a sexy smile
sä oot niin älykäs, huumorintajuinen ja kaunis ihminen ulkoa ja sisältä!❤️🥰🙏👍 tuhannet kiitokset tästä videosta! Tosi mielenkiintoinen aihe, ihmisen pituus ylipäätään.. oon kattonu paljon dokumentteja sekä tosi pitkistä sekä lyhyistä ihmisistä ja sen vaikutuksista 😊
Susta tulee niin hyvä fiilis ja tulee semmonen tunne että olis ihanaa olla sun kaveri (NOT in A creepy stalker way) 😄❤️ Ihanaa perjantaita sulle! ❤️🙏
It's just incredible that this is apparently coherent speech to people who know Finnish
Nothing beats confidence in how you are. I have seen tall women walking with a stoop and have thought walk tall, embrace who you are, confidence is attractive. You are a confident woman so walk tall Sara.
I feel like as a 6 foot girl I feel like I always take up too much space.. always trying to look smaller and skinnier, even as a normal sized girl I look bigger because I’m so tall! In photos next to my friends I look HUGE I never wear heels etc.. it’s so dumb! And I know it’s so dumb! But people constantly comment on it as you grow up and it gets to you.. I’ve had people tell me they’d never date me because I’m too tall, old men ask me if it’s hard to find a boyfriend bc I’m so tall, I’ve had older woman tell me I’m TOO tall. Not to mention NOTHING FITS..EVER! It makes you feel like you’re literally too big to exist normally. My boyfriend is shorter than me and he loves me and he loves my height.. and without all the societal pressure.. I love being tall. I can reach everything! I just wish people would stop commenting on it
LOL hahahaha, absolutely LOVE the cut off at the end.
I’m 1m83 and for years, I was insecure about it. I always bought flats but admired heels and the owner of my favourite shoe shop noticed this. He commented that I’m tall with or without heels and that the heels are made for models who are my height anyway. He gave me such a boost, and sold me loads of lovely heels over the years! Now, I live in Spain, however, and I’m a giant here… Not going to let out get me down, though!!!
As a fellow tall girl, I love tall girls! Y’all are so slay ✨
this amount of sara content in this span of time is surreal miss uuuu
it always amazes me when other girls compliment my height and say they wish they were as tall as me, it makes me realise the rest of the world doesn't see me as a big footed clumsy giant the way i am in my head 😅 i also love when someone asks for my help getting something down from a high shelf, and the risk of kidnap is lower so its not all bad. nice knowing the tall girl experience is pretty universal
I'm 5'4 so I definitely understand and I appreciate the support. It's a tough world out there for short guys.
I'm a 6 foot woman, and everything you said is true! The random comments of my height happens all the time. Usually starts with a look at my feet, they see I'm wearing flats, and then the comment "you're really tall". Never gets old....I can't buy clothes in store after the ONLY store that sold tall womens clothes closed down. My husband is my height, but I dated one guy who was shorter than me back in college (only for a few weeks) and he would walk on his tip toes when he walked next to me (I wouldn't always refer to him as twinkle toes to my friends afterwards).
Lol twinkle toes. What guys do usually approach you?Taller or shorter than you?
@@Geoghegan-gu9bs Around my height, give or take a few inches. But it's been a long time since I have been approached by anyone.
Its literally never okay to comment on someones appearance. And even if it was, dont you think i know im tall? I literally live in my body, believe it or not, and you dont know what my mental relation is with it. 😴
Yeah but then, people usually say it with a sense of compliment-ish manner usually.
People can't be constantly careful about everything that goes on within your mind
Allways on point, the best line: tall woman are hard to kidnap 😂😂😂 love this new era of yours more and more 😘
You did not just say skyscraper coochie!!! 😂 What a wonderful comeback video. Besides all the jokes, this is such an important topic. Hope everybody starts being more kind to others and more aware of how hurtful unnecessary comments can be.
I'm 6ft2 and in my mid twenties. I love being tall. Didnt always but since it helped me in my sport I also often heard good things about being tall. Just not from my peers. And I really hate it that too many men are insecure about height. I wouldnt mind dating a man thats shorter than me but some cant even deal with being 1cm shorter or the same height as me.
I love the part you said about camaraderie. Whenever I spot a tall girl in public I immediately like them, cheer them on internally and oftentimes we smile at each other. Just two tall ass women killing it and carrying their height proudly
Volleyball or basketball I assume? 😅😂
Being extremely beautiful and tall is such a blessing
being tall is a unique and beautiful trait!
The wording of this video made me laugh "skyscrapper couchie" lol, "come get this good good"
Off topic, loved the ending LMAO 😂 I was like “damn she’s gonna use every single saying there is” and then I got an AD and I was laughing like “she took so long we needed a break”. And then after the ad, assuming you’d continue with the sayings, the video ended and I just busted out laughing 😂😂 It was so damn funny to me ok byeee! 😂
Just discovered you .. and as a tall woman I feel so seen. Love your personality. Keep making videos please 🥰
OMG, you just described my life to a T . I'm 65 now and have experienced everything you've just described. l😂 99% of the time it's been an extremely positive life I'm happy to say. I had certain privileges that regular size women didn't get. But if I had a Nicole for every time someone began a conversation with me with - wow, you're tall - I'd be rich. Continue enjoying your wonderful life and ignore the petty jealousy.
You’d be ‘Nicole Richie’
I was thinking the exact same thing xD @@prettylilme98
@@prettylilme98 ^^
a nickel? 😭
"A chin of a general" 😂😂😂 i love you so much ❤ and i have to say, not all tall men like short girls. I had a gym trainer who was 6.56 ft (2 meters, yes, no joke) and he said he doesnt date much because all girls are short/average and he feels like he looks like their dad or a kidnapper 😂 so he wanted someone who was taller, probably someone like you 🤗
Trust me, she would still look tiny 😂
@@celeroon89 yeah probably, the guy was really giant like 😂
@@OzmaOfOzz Yeah im 6.49ft and like literally everyone else is tiny
He needs a basketball player gf or model
@@eyeswideopen7777 he literally is a basket ball player 🤣 idk even models aren't as tall as him but I think someone as tall as our girl Sara would be tall enough hehe
I'm late to this video but I relate so much! Especially now that I have rounded shoulders and lower back pain because I was always slouching to make myself appear shorter... I just feel weird standing tall, especially when short guys keep starting you down...
loving the hair !! ❤
Thank you SO much for sharing. I hate being tall and people pointing it out all the time adds up to my insecurity.
I LOVE your sense of humor! Ending a video with ".. if you are going take anything with you from watching this video that I made for you today, um, the bottom line is, in conclusion, all things considered, at the end of the day, when all is said and done, when push comes to shove, what it all boils down to, ultimately .. " 😂 (for fun I'll have a go at what might have been next) 😉 " .. it really doesn't matter, because each and everyone of us is uniquely different, yet we try to find something in common that we can relate to, while creating memories before our life ends, finding true meaning of life in the end being all about the love we shared."
I'm average height while most of my family from both my parents, my siblings, my nieces and nephew are 6' tall or taller. Interesting is that my maternal grandfather was average height .. meaning like 5' 8" while he adored my grandmother as she was tall .. at least 6' tall. Like my grandfather, I am a photographer, writer, or just call me a journalist. I am also Intergendered as I was born with all the male parts but jumbled up with female as if a twin sister just didn't develop? Who knows? The doctor cut out the female organs. That's another story for me to tell because I endured multiple surgeries through out my life.
The vast majority of people can't tell because .. well, I wear pants. 🤣 I identify as male and have since childhood, but I know I am different. In childhood through out school, I did get bullied. You are inspiring me to come out fully as exactly who I am because it has been so difficult to find love in a World where so many people want to categorize and label everyone as either male or female when we all have the hormones estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone in us. Every single one of us is unique. What brings us all together is that we all want love. The older we get, the more we realize that a lifetime is not long at all. Leave love and memories!
Thank you for this video i am 6'3 and i love to see other tall woman or tall men around me its awesome ❤
I admire how witty and funny you are 🎯💯🥰 Not to mention beautiful 😍 I'm a tall woman myself, 181 cm. I have dated both taller and shorter men. My husband is 10 cm shorter than me. The height difference is not an issue if both are ok with their heights. The men I've dated who have been shorter than me have admired my looks. The only thing that would bother me is if a guy weighed less than me 🤣
Being 6'8" myself, your video confirms that this independent whether you are male or female. Good on about your confidence! 👍🏻😎
You're awesome, so happy to have you back on here 💗
im 6ft here and completely relate to the complexities & nuances of what you've discussed here! On the flip side, something I've noticed particularly with my short female (adult) friends is how often they are infantilised by men! Not being taken seriously, more easily pushed around, more objectified (e.g. I've seen men (strangers) fully pick up short female friends without asking like what??????) and I generally find that the height, especially on a woman, commands more respect. I find that men will talk to me like im an equal (or 'one of the guys' which is itself a conflicting sensation) vs how you can see they are registering they are talking to a woman, or someone who they deem 'lesser' than, when speaking to short women - its sad really when you come to notice this things but its made me able to call out that behaviour to men & stick up for women
I find you mesmerizing your quick-witted, smart, very accepting of your height. I see why you are successful at this . I wish I was younger, I have typically dated women taller than I am and actually was married to a girl very close to 6 ft. The long-term relationship we had just simply faded apart it had nothing to do with our height difference. I'm 5'8 and she is 5'11 and a little bit more. Before she met me she always wanted somebody tall and wouldn't you know it, when we got divorced she found somebody tall and married him and no it wasn't a fling or anything like that, it just happened a few months after we were divorced.
Dude I’ve missed your vids sm, thanks for coming back Sara ❤
There are guys into tall women out there, but you have to make sure they 1) have other traits you are looking for not just "ok with tall women" and 2) they aren't one of the ones looking to fetishize you bc they are definitely out there (though I feel you will quickly find they do not have the personality you're looking for anyway)
I'm 180cm and have a friend who is a little taller, which is nice, but dammit if she doesn't have small feet so she has a much better pick of shoes 😭
The average height around here (midwestern US) for women I don't think is that tall but I definitely see many as tall or taller than I am when I'm out, which makes me happy 😊
I am SOOOOO here for Sara being back haha
"Just like how God did with you" I'm DEAD, I audibly and unexpectedly snorted at that remark.
God didn't forget MY legs (thankfully) but LOL that's the wittiest thing I've heard all year xD
Side note - I'm not as tall as you but being 5'8 and bi-racially Asian has been a challenge. It's been a huge insecurity my entire life and even as a toddler I dreamed to "grow up" to be small and cute :')
I love your positivity and I hope to remember your encouragement every time my brain tries to be mean to itself for being relatively far from the ground.
Your hair is beautiful! You are also so witty and intelligent :) Hope to see more youtube videos!
yes! It keeps surprising me how many people just comment about my height like of course i know that im tall. And its even more annoying when people assume that im insecure about that. Its cool that i never have to worry that can i see a gig in the audience
9:52 That outro LMAO you’re so funny
Watched 5 of your videos starting with I'm genetically male, and I couldn't stop laughing (except that first one of course). You basically took all the personality that was available for other people being born in the same year you were😂. Had to subscribe, and I rarely do that
So good to have you back on youtube.
Holy shit! I watched your videos like 10 years ago! I just recently looked you up to see if you made recent content, but your last video was 2 years ago! Now I see you’re making videos again! 🥰 missed you girl, so happy to see what you’re up to. (Not creepy or anything) 😂Much love ❤️
You are so humorously refreshing that I had to watch it again
As a 4'10 woman it cracked me up in your positives section. I cant reach anything and at a music concert i cant see anything. Also my husband is 6'🙈
