People are able to leave comments, send messages, make posts, and more and this makes way for cyberbullying and online harassment.
First, let’s start off with:
What is Online Harassment?
According to the Durham University, online harassment is the use of information and communication technologies by an individual or a group to cause harm to another person. This can take various forms, such as derogatory comments, unsolicited advice, stalking, and even sustained harassment.
So, what are some examples of online harassment towards tall women? Do tall women get bullied because of their height? Tune in to the full episode for more!

Today we are talking about tall girl stereotypes. You know the comments like “Wow, you must play basketball!” or “Oh my gosh, you’re so intimidating!” or “Are you a man?” That last one lowkey hit a lil different and not in a good way. But I’m sure that if you’re a tall woman you have been stereotyped like this one way or the other. And this episode is for you! We’re gonna be talking about the most common stereotypes of tall women as well as the issues and harsh truths about them.
Because in some way, shape, or form, if you’re a tall girl, these stereotypes have affected you whether it be confidence, self-image, etc. But first…
What Is A Stereotype?
A stereotype is a widely held yet oversimplified and generalized belief or idea about a particular group of people. So essentially, when you see a particular group or a person classified into a particular group, you make an assumption based on that classification. And this can be based on race, gender, profession, or even height. Often, whether good or bad, stereotypes are perpetuated by the media and pop culture. But today, we’re only focusing on the effects on tall women.
So what are the common tall girl stereotypes? And why are they detrimental to tall women? Tune in to the episode to find out more!

This has been an ongoing thing for who knows how many years. Time and time again, there are these public interviews where people are stopped in the streets—whether tall women, average-height women, or even men—and they’re asked what their ideal height in a partner is. I’m assuming this is a way to gather some type of information as to which height is most attractive to people.
I feel like a very common misconception is that all tall women inherently prefer tall men or view shorter men as less attractive or less capable. Is this the reality? Tune in to the full episode to find out more!

We have a very special guest with us today: chiropractor and business owner Dr. David Lipman! Dr. Lipman is the owner of Physical Evidence Chiropractic. Since his youth, he’s been very active and encourages others to be active as well. In his practice, he focuses on identifying the root causes of pain and treating them using a wide range of services. Today, our topic of discussion is posture, and we’ll briefly discuss some of the root causes of pain related to our posture.
Because, as tall people, one of our major struggles is posture, right? Whether it’s our neck, back, shoulders, or even hips, poor posture can slowly but surely wreck our bodies. And for the most part, it’s not even our fault! Sure, we may slouch over a computer often or sleep incorrectly. But our day-to-day lives also negatively impact our posture. Low sinks and counters. Low desks. Weird car seats. Chairs. Our short friends (no tea, no shade—still love y’all!!). It seems like we can’t escape those pesky pains.
In this episode, David dives deep into the importance of posture, the reason behind why people have certain types of pains and bodily issues because of their posture, and tips to offset these negative effects. If this is something you’re interested in, be sure to tune into the episode!

Let's talk about tall girl fan pages! Lol, you're probably like 'what????????'
Let's start with the basics:
What Are Tall Girl Fan Pages?
Tall girl fan pages are social media accounts that showcase and "celebrate" tall women—kinda. These accounts often feature images, videos, and stories of tall women, with height as the main point of attraction. While these pages might appear to provide a sense of community, they can also have a darker side, promoting objectification and unrealistic standards.
These fan pages are prevalent across platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and even Flickr. Lol, do y’all remember Flickr? I’m telling you, when I was in middle school, Flickr was EVERYTHING. That and VSCO. If you weren’t on those sites, you were not cool, lol.
ANYWAYS, tall girl fan pages are scattered all over the Internet, and they tend to have a lot of common themes—primarily featuring extremely tall women. This often leads to the misconception that a woman has to be 6’4” and up to be considered tall. But that raises an important question: What is considered tall for a girl? In my opinion, it's not just limited to those who are 6’4” and taller.
In this episode, I explore how tall girl fan pages can promote unrealistic standards of tall beauty and fuel unhealthy self-comparison. Also, what are these tall girl fan pages really for? Are they meant to support and celebrate tall women, or are they simply catering to the male gaze? I talk about this and more in the full episode!

Last week's episode - "Why The Internet Is A Scary Place for Tall Women": https://atallgirlspodcast.com/episode/why-the-internet-is-a-scary-place-for-tall-women -
As we all know, the Internet is a very dark and creepy place...
In this episode, I dive deeper into how the Internet is a scary place for tall women. From these dating sites to tall girl fan pages to social media, there are a variety of things online that influence people’s thoughts and assumptions of tall women, leading them to project their assumptions and fantasies (:////) onto us in a very unwarranted way.
And then, us tall girlies feel very uncomfortable and judged because of our height. The point is to bring awareness to the uncomfy sides of the Internet for tall women and discuss how that can influence people’s thoughts and actions towards us. If this is something of interest to you, feel free to tune in!

Question of the Day:
Can being tall cause social anxiety?
Because think about it, we stick out like a sore thumb, sometimes get negative attention, have difficulty existing in physical spaces; surely height can be a contributing factor to social anxiety, right?
So that we’re on the same page, let’s define social anxiety. Social anxiety is a disorder where everyday interactions cause irrational anxiety, fear, self-consciousness, and embarrassment. Don’t come for me okay lol; this is essentially the summary of definitions I found on Google.
And this can happen in different settings like a bar or a school club meeting or even just hanging out with friends, especially when around new or a lot of people. There’s this fear of judgment and humiliation and even worry of embarrassment.
So what does social anxiety look like in tall people? And how can you navigate social situations as a tall person? Tune in to my full episode for more info!

Here's my hot take: some of us tall women may be spending too much money on clothes....
Okay, but before you come for me, hear me out!!!
This week's episode dives into the hot topic of overconsumption—the excessive purchase of non-essential items. With TikTok trends like "TikTok made me buy it" and the obsession with kitchen organizers, overconsumption is more prevalent than ever.
Tall fashion creators are particularly affected, often showcasing frequent hauls and try-ons that may seem excessive. But it's not just them—fashion influencers everywhere play a role in promoting this behavior. While their content creation is a job or hobby, it leads the public to believe they need the items showcased.
In this episode, we discuss overconsumption in the tall girl community and offer tips on how to combat it. Tune in for a thoughtful discussion on finding balance in a consumer-driven world!

Today, we are doing a product review! This is actually my first ever product review episode. Crazy, right? Hopefully this works out as intended…
I'm actually very excited to do this because as tall girls, it’s already hard enough to find clothes that fit our proportions, and when it comes to shoes, the struggle is even more real. Can I get a ‘hear, hear’ if you agree? Let’s face it, big brands are not moving at the pace we need them to move at even though they probably hear our constant cries.
We got pants fitting like capris, dresses fitting like t-shirts, and shoes fitting like they’re meant to fit as kid sizes. You can’t tell me this isn’t crazy. But we do have brands such as Etta Grove that are changing the game for us! Today, I’m partnering with Etta Grove, a size inclusive footwear and handbag brand selling shoes ranging from sizes 7-14, to give my full, open, and honest review about one of their products. Nope, we are not holding back today y’all. I decided to review a pair of their sneakers that I have actually been seeing all over Instagram lately.
So, do the sneakers live up to expectations? Or does it miss the bar? Find out in the episode below!

Social media is the topic of today’s episode. I actually talked about this before, but I was talking about how social media was ruining our confidence. But the thing is social media itself isn’t ruining your confidence, you are. How you specifically use these platforms ultimately will affect your self-esteem. Let’s talk about it.
Social media can be such a beautiful place for tall women. You can find and connect with the tall girl community, participate in body positivity and body neutrality movements, and find positive representations of tall women in the media. But it’s also easy to get sucked into comparison culture and unrealistic beauty standards, negative comments, and pressures to look a certain way.
Tune in to the full episode to learn more about the impact of social media on tall girls and how we can combat the negative effects, turning it from a negative to a positive!

Today’s episode topic is tall women downplaying their height, leading people to not take them seriously. I want to talk about the #1 reason why tall women feel the need to shrink themselves both figuratively and literally. This particular reason leads to tall women downplaying their height and presence and it can ultimately affect other people’s perceptions towards us.
There are a number of ways that tall women downplay their height. Hunching over. Speaking in a softer or high-pitched voice. Avoiding heels. Wearing clothes that make them appear shorter. Are you guilty of any of these?
But why do we feel the need to act a certain way? Tune in to the full episode to find out!

Today we’re talking about something tall people often face: judgment. Yes, judgment interestingly enough. This is part of being judged based on your physical appearance; it’s just not widely spoken about enough. Because when people think about being judged about your physical appearance, they think about skin color, hair, even tattoos and piercings. Not so much height.
Have you ever been judged based on your height or physical appearance? Chances are the answer is yes. And today I wanna talk about why people do that and what you can do about it. As tall people, especially as tall women, I’m sure that we’ve had our fair share of judgment. The looks and stares. The sly comments. The stupid assumptions. The inappropriate questions. And it feels like it never stops.
Tune in to the full episode to see how you can deal with height-based judgment!

So, I’m a college graduate??? Well, right now only half of one. I have 2 graduations; one already happened last week and this coming Tuesday is the second and final one. And you’re probably reading this like “2 graduations???? Huh????” YUP TWO GRADUATIONS, and ya know, I deserve both of them too, especially considering the fact that I didn’t even have a proper high school graduation lol.
So, I figured why not do a little Q&A/life updates episode; I haven’t done one of these since last year and since I’m moving on to the next chapter of my life, it’s kinda like, might as well! I did a little poll on Stories as well as that little notes feature on Instagram asking you guys to give me questions and all that jazz. So I took questions from there as well as my DMs and kind of compiled the repetitive questions into a few topics that I will discuss today!

For today’s episode, we will be talking about confidence. Well, one aspect of it. Summer is right around the corner (literally with the way that the weather is changing) and it’s time to be our best selves. Well, I mean we should be our best selves all year round but tbh it’s pretty hard to do that in the winter when it’s dark most of the day and we’re indoors all the time.
But the summer is UNACCEPTABLE. And it’s a great time to start getting rid of the toxic traits that we have developed throughout the winter, one of them being negative self-talk. Negative self-talk plays a huge role in our low confidence and low self-esteem.
“Oh I’m too tall for these heels…”; “Oh I wish I was shorter…”; “Oh I’m intimidating others with my height..” I’m sure that as tall women we’ve had our fair share of negative self-talk. So, today I will be providing tips and tricks on how to combat negative self-talk! Tune in to the full episode for more!
