Is there anyone out there that knows what it's like to not be average?! I am 6ft 2 and female...?

AAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! I am so utterly fed up. All I wanted to do was find and buy a pair of black boots with a low kitten heel. My average height friends do this task with no difficulty. They’ll pop down the high street – go to the bargain basement and bingo – first pair they try on - a pair of perfect leather boots for £20. “Oh you are so lucky being so tall” they say. Yeah right!!! I don’t even bother looking at the high street shoes save the embarrassment of trying to stuff 2 feet the size of canoes into these miniature shoes. So I go online – arr yes – the wonderful world wide web. You can by a f****** star, adopt a f****** platypus, buy a Russian bride but can I get a pair of black f******* boots with a low kitten heel in my size – no sireeeeee!! Oh I can buy a pair of sexual fetish boots with a 10 inch heel thus making me 7ft in height. I am sure they’d go down well at work and be most comfortable traipsing around Tescos. Or I can go for a pair of flat boots that look like 2 oversized loaves of brown bread. You know – the granny ankle boot kind with zips. I am 36 not 96. I wanna be a bit stylish!! I am not asking for pink polka dotted size 10 ladies boots with built in foot warmers and a thermos flask compartment – although I did find a pair of those. It must have been 30 sodding websites I looked at. Combing through the pairs and pairs of freak shoes. Then the b****** site wouldn’t let me go back to my search page, then the page could not be displayed, then I lost my place and visited the same bizarre websites again, then I looked away from the screen and could still see pixilated freak shoes in front of my eyes. But then… at last… Eureka!!!!!!! I found the perfect pair!!!! Black – check – low heel – check – leather – check – price - £350 – ay? £350!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh yes because all us tall women are absolutely loaded!!!! AGGHHHH!!!! And do you know what – for my height my feet are actually quite small!! In America all the shoe shops stock sizes for larger feet than mine. Why do the yanks get everything – I’ll just pop over there for a pair of boots shall I?


Yes, yes – there are many sites for larger size footwear – I found them all. But there’s no in-between – you either get 10 inch heels (like a 6ft 2 woman is going to want to wear those about town) or flat as a pancake loafer styles that are about as sexy as herpes.


Then to add insult to injury – I find a forum where I wanted to go for a moan but could not unless I entered my name, address, star sign, inside leg measurement, circumference of my left f****** nostril – and found this man saying “It must be tough being a tall woman” how understanding I thought. Then I read on – he said his girlfriend is 6ft but looks like a freak if she wears heels. What a ******!


So here I am – on Microsoft word – talking to myself – no one to hear or care. My only consolation was a packet of ginger nuts – and they were low fat! No chocolate in the house.


And yes – there are people far worse off – starving, without limbs, diseased and dying. Yes I would much rather be me with my long limbs and canoe feet but I am still a woman – with womanly needs – I love shopping, I love shoes, I wanna look feminine!!!!!!!!!!


So if you are short and tell me what a hardship it is for you having to buy kiddies shoes (available in the high street, cheap and fashionable!) I may just give you a piece of my mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don’t even get me started on trousers, leg room, insecure short men and women, back ache, feeling un-feminine, low ceilings in olde worlde pubs, standing on buses, just wanting to blend in occasionally but sticking out like a 6ft 2 woman! Right – off to the shop for chocolate and the usual comments. It amazes me how observant these people are…

Is there anyone out there that knows what it's like to not be average?! I am 6ft 2 and female...?
Thank you, that is the funniest thing I've read on YA - not the situation just your take on it %26amp; wording - you should publish it.


I'm afraid I'm boringly average in most respects but loved your question so did a little research - are any of these any good?

Reply:Have you quite finished? There isn't much you can do about your height and its not like its a disability is it!
Reply:I am 5Ft 2 and a man......... Oddly enough I have exactly the same issue, only reversed. Still I found tall women (and there is a lot around me!) beautiful so do not worry, you are gorgeous!
Reply:The answer if a lot shorter than the question ( thank god )


Just be happy with yourself and get over the fact you are fussy about your footwear.
Reply:Well someone got out of their bed the wrong side!





Stop moaning. No one wants to be average, and given the choice I bet you wouldn't change yourself. Everyone has their own problems and in the grand scheme of things yours doesn't seem that bad.





Be grateful for what you have.
Reply:I have similar problems just finding shirts and pants and I'm only 5'11. I'm thrilled that those "super long" shirts are in style because they'll actually cover my torso, most of the time. Then half the time the long pants either aren't long enough or cost twice as much.
Reply:Sorry, life is too short to read the question...
Reply:When stores fail you, like they often do, shop ebay. They have everything in every size. :)
Reply:I think you maybe exaggerating a bit, if you have never tried on shoes at highstreet stores then how do you know that they will or won't fit you properly? If you are a size 10 in shoes then I'm guessing that's a size 43?


Now I have found some websites but obviously stores will be storing spring/summer shoes rather than boots which are more for winter.
Reply:lol this was funny, have a good rant and treat yourself. Your not alone alone tho, im 5"9 and size 8 and sometimes its hard 2 find shoes.
Reply:Why not buy your boots from America it will be a lot cheaper.From my own experiance your all about the same height on your backs you little minx lol
Reply:Having A Good Ol Moan Does Make You Feel Better :)





6"2, Wow, Thats Actually Quite Cool, I Would Go On American Sites.





Why Dont You Try Modeling, You Always Get Free Clothes :)
