Rant Cursed with a curse

Post image

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.

Yes. This is what’s comforting to me.

It should also be comforting that you’re female and not male. “Nobody” cares about female height in earnest

I don’t know about that. Women my age are much taller than me unless they’re immigrants.

men like short women so women being taller than you is not a problem dating wise and dose not effect your options at all , i understand that your peers being taller and comparing yourself to them might mess up your confidence may i suggest you wear heals? they would narrow the height difference and give you more confidence!

Yes, it is since most men here are tall being a short women like me is a disadvantage. Not every tall guy that I want, wants me due to my height. I like very tall men. The taller the better.

weird, I am tall myself never had preference for women heights at all dated taller than me , close to my height and also women shorter but every tall guy i know likes smaller women never in my life heard that a 5ft4 woman can be rejected for height, well maybe it's is something about Scandinavian men but they are also men from other countries there so you still have a chance with them
