Your insecurity about your height is due to being challenged more by women, and being cut down more by men. I'm tall too and learned that short guys, especially under 5'7", will be very intimidated by us. They will cut you down every chance they can get because of jealousy and insecurity about their height. They know they don't measure up.
You just need to remember that you won. Learn to dismiss any criticisms. And keep a strong posture at all times.

This is completely delusional and has to be in your mind. The tall are not persecuted.

Short guy tries to cut down tall guy for saying short guys try to cut down tall guys.

^The hell are you on about. No short guys have ever tried to cut me down, and I never get anything but fuck me eyes from women for being tall.

You are delusional mate. Nobody gives a shit about how tall we are. Why would people go out of their way to do that?

Hi,

This is my first post on the forum. I'm relatively new but have read around the topic a little.

Anyway, I have a less common status in the world than most. I'm 6'5 and slender. I appear taller than most other people. I'm also kinda lanky - trying to put on muscle but its a long haul!

Anyway, I have a few points I wanted to hear what you guys thought about.

1. I don't need to attract attention as much as other guys because women inevitably notice me. I am also extrovert and skate around a lot - people recognize me fairly quickly. I usually get positive attention from it. This is good right?!

2. This leads me to #2. I get the "wow you're tall" a lot from people. And "how tall are you?". I don't know if any other tall guys here have figured out a good response to this. I've tried "Well you're small" but it doesn't go down too well mostly. If I say "yeah..." it kills the conversation. Just looking for the best way to play this - maybe something about picking them up etc.

3. Being taller than most guys I don't feel the need to demonstrate my physical abilities. I weigh more and am usually stronger than 70% of them. I am active, but this doesn't come across because a good amount of muscle on me looks like i've not tried very much. Not sure if this comes across as beta or not. I usually have to go out of my way to make sure i'm not taking up more space than is reasonable and walking the correct speed etc.

4. Should I dress down a little more to draw less attention to myself? Just a thought.

In my experience "wow you're tall" or "how tall are you" is usually an IOI.

I'm 6'3. It usually happens on dates that I hear this. Girl comes in and meets me she says 'oh wow you're tall'

My usual response to 'you're tall' or some such variation is along the lines of : 'yeah... I get that sometimes.' said in a bored, semi up beat manner. Sometimes it evokes a giggle from the girl.

The last girl I met out for a date, we'd been sitting on a sofa for a while and I suggested a leisurely walk down the city street. "How tall are you?" she asks. I tell her. She says "yeah you look that tall"

If women say this to me, I know it's one more 'attraction' area they have. Take them as IOIs and go from there.

I wouldn't dress down or try to draw attention from yourself. Wear quality fitted clothing. 6'5 is a good height.
