I am from a non UK country where people on the whole are shorter than in the UK, esp women. I am 51 years old now, and it doesn't come as a surprise to me that I am way shorter than most women in the UK. I have never had a problem with my height (5.1"), I honestly have always thought of myself as well proportioned and have tried to make the most of what I've got. My DH is 6.1" and he likes me just the way I am.
However, just in the past year or so, several women at my workplace have been making comments, and I am getting sick and tired of it. I am also starting to become self conscious about my height, something I've never been before.
I work in education, surrounded my middle aged women (I am one), and many of them are my DH's height. I am starting to avoid being seen standing next to them, and have noticed that my height seems to be fair game to comment on, like for example my pigeonhole being the highest, and how hilarious that is. 4 different women have commented on that this week.
Are you a tall woman and look at short women with pity? Am I fair game to have my physical appearance be commented on/joked about?
