I’m a 6ft tall woman.. AMA

[Moltenpink]

I’ve been 6ft tall since I was about 15, anyone have anything to ask?

[iwishicouldbelikedavidwatts]

is the weather different up there?

[noblegiraffe]

Do you wear heels?

[Moltenpink]

No heels, no. I have quite a broad curvy frame, so I would just wobble around on them! Weather is fine thanks ;)

[387I2]

Why wouldn't she wear heels?

Do you have Dutch or Scandinavian relatives?

[LoveMyLittleSuperhero]

No question just an excited wave, I'm a little over 6ft myself.

[Moltenpink]

38712 no, but I had a French great great grandmother who was 6ft3 in the 1800’s

[AfterSchoolWorry]

Do you get sick of weather jokes?

[Moltenpink]

Superhero, hi! Where do you shop?

[noblegiraffe]

I’m tall and I don’t wear heels (or only low heels) because I find it awkward enough already without adding extra height.

[ScreamingValenta]

Do you look for partners who are the same height/taller, or does it not bother you if your OH is much shorter?

[RunMummyRun68]

Where do you shop op?

I'm 6ft too. New look and next are my usual places

[Moltenpink]

My husband is 6ft2. I do tend to prefer taller men, but I’ve had shorter boyfriends and it never bothered me. Wouldn’t kiss them standing up though, it felt wrong!

[Wildlingofthewest]

6ft isn’t really that tall..
Not being rude, just it’s not especially tall
I’m 5’10 and don’t feel particularly tall
I also don’t tend to wear heels very often - can’t walk in them properly!

[Moltenpink]

I shop at Dorothy P tall online mostly. Topshop tall sometimes, but the designs can be a bit odd. Tall ranges are great though because I can get a size 10 or 12, in normal ranges I get a 14 for the extra length.

Another 6footer -and I love my heels

Not my problem if everyone else is short!

[Flicketyflack]

I'm 6 feet tall as well- hello 👋

[Moltenpink]

@Wilding yes I agree, I’m just bored and wanted to try the new topic

[Moltenpink]

Fellow 6 footers, do you have big feet too? Finding size 42 shoes is the hardest.

[387I2]

I'm 5ft10, that can be tricky also (and a bit wobbly on heels).

[Shinygoldbauble]

I'm 5'2 and i have sometimes wondered if it must be confidence boosting to be similar in height to men.

[Flicketyflack]

I find it easier to get shoes now as an adult than when I was at secondary school twenty years ago.
Eights/nines depending on the make!

[387I2]

"Gabor" shoes have sizes 42 and above.

[plumpie79]

Me too! (I have small feet though -6- which is one less thing to worry about). Topshop for jeans. Trouser choice is a lot more limited though (also dresses that cover your bum).

[Degustibusnonestdisputandem1]

I'm only 5'9" with size 7.5 feet but where I'm from in rural oz has a lot of tall women, one of my sisters' friends was 6"2 and I know more than a few over 6". My great aunts, born 1920 and 1921 were both over 6'. It seems much more unusual here in the UK. One question I have to ask is, do you/did you always go for men taller than you? My first Aussie bf was 6'7" and DH is 6'4"....

[Moltenpink]

@Flicketyflack I totally agree, school was a nightmare and I lived in men’s jeans and trainers. Long lengths and big shoes just weren’t a thing, and the internet wasn't invented for online shopping!
