This is not on. I think tall is sculptured and elegant. <br /><br />A tall woman, bare-shouldered, bare feet.

Some people are envious. Women have to be strong to have a tall friend. Mostly, men don't think I want to be cared for. And too many ignorant ******* want to know what it's like up here. Lonely, draughty from all the ignorant *******, and sometimes quite wonderful.Rachel Fentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10046917627054462214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291389383714567128.post-7103558497645306872011-11-13T08:14:45.500-08:002011-11-13T08:14:45.500-08:00I think it's also something about vulnerabilit...I think it's also something about vulnerability. Tall women are often powerful, and yet spend their adolescence hiding away, slouching, trying to disappear. All their boyfriends have to measure up. A tall friend once told me she never wears heels because she feels like a transvestite. I'd never even thought of that. Whereas shorter ladies often appear to be more feminine and in need of protection.<br />Having said all that I'm not crazy about gigantic men or a dizzying size difference à la Kim and fellow.The Divorced Lady's Companion to Living in Italyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15202093107784073194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291389383714567128.post-12885592182147728672011-11-13T07:55:23.119-08:002011-11-13T07:55:23.119-08:00I admit having tall envy.

So all of my friends are taller than me, but I've always had really tall friends. Women with a gorgeous six feet.

It's weird isn't it, but I feel quite comfortable, not that I don't treasure my shorter girlfriends!!The Divorced Lady's Companion to Living in Italyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15202093107784073194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291389383714567128.post-37863918934357405932011-10-27T13:10:48.871-07:002011-10-27T13:10:48.871-07:00I'm tall tall tall.

You're not alone.<br /><br />On the other hand, I think some women shy away from being my friend because I'm so darn willowy and showy. With men, it's been even worse. Thank God I somehow found a tall husband.Angie McCullaghhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13338130265872869124noreply@blogger.com
