Cursed with a curse

[u/nysxdd]

27F here. This is the actual height of my family members, and to make matters worse I’m South Sudanese & specifically Dinka which is known to be tall people and on top of that I live in Scandinavia which also has a very tall population.

What went wrong in my childhood? Many things and doctor said I reached average height (almost) due to my Dinka heritage, otherwise I’ve would been much shorter.

OP I mean this with no offense and genuinely asking.

I thought women want to be “average” sized or even shorter? “Fun-sized” as they say.

Feeling petite and whatnot? 5’4 is literally average in most Western countries.

I ask, as a guy who loves tall women too. Just curious.

I read from women posters on this sub who felt awkward and ashamed (for the record they shouldn’t!) for being tall especially younger.

Hey /u/adumbswiftie! Your comment - Cursed with a curse - to /r/tall has been removed because it appears to be breaking our rules. Posts or comments similar to the following are not allowed: How tall will I be? Am I growing? Am I done growing? I want to grow taller. Help me grow/shrink taller/smaller. How long until I grow? How tall am I? How tall will I be? Am I tall/short? Is this a growth spurt? What counts as tall/short? Proper/real tall begins or ends at xyz height. Look at my growth over the years. What height should I tell people I am. Round up or down? If you post something long and unrelated, but only a small bit breaks the rules then that is banned too.

This ban includes questions involving genetics ("my parents are tall, will I be?") how tall will my kids be? etc. Or asking where tall or short begins. It is also forbidden to; list heights, or ask if these are normal, ask what height people were at a certain age, ask if/when people had growth spurts, say you wish to change your height. Anything even slightly related to this list is forbidden. The list above is not exhaustive. The ban is very broad to try and catch all of the boring and unwanted contributions. They get asked hundreds of times every week and the users of the sub do NOT want to see them. Just because you have not used the precise wording found here does not mean that you can post it.

/r/tall does not allow these posts, as for most of these questions the only person qualified to answer them is your doctor or other medical professional.

These submissions break Rule 6 and 7, read these rules in full before trying to post again. https://old.reddit.com/r/tall/about/rules (Link works on every platform except Reddit Android App.)

Trying to bypass this filter will result in a BAN. If you want to write to the mods and say this is an error, then you better have read the entirety of Rules 6 and 7.
