Tall Jokes Are Getting Old

Updated: Dec 16, 2018



One of my favorite topics I wanted to discuss with you ladies. This grinds my gears to the point where I have to talk about this. The tall jokes are very annoying, us tall ladies I’m sure love to just mind their business and go about their day. People that have never “seen” a tall woman before are losing their minds with the dumb jokes and expect you to laugh. With these jokes brings annoyance, awkwardness, and you being simply uncomfortable. I know my #Highviewers can relate when you simply want to walk in a grocery store, mall, even walking to your car in a parking lot and it’s the constant staring but before the staring is “Damnnn she’s so tall can she fit in her car”?, Or “Wow must be hard for her to find a man with that height” I can go on and on with the tall jokes but I can’t speak for the rest of my #Highviewers for me it does get tiring. I know why God gave me this height for a reason to show girls younger than me or even my age or older that it is ok to talk about these issues because it does affect a woman mentally.




Now mental strength just doesn’t come overnight. It takes a lot of strength and boldness to

overcome the rudeness that comes from people every day. I’ve been so numb to people’s

comments and questions that when I’m confronted on my height I just stare, I call it my

defensive mechanism. I think what happens is from my past that I’ve been so stand-offish that

it drives people away. Most of the time I like when they walk away because I have a rule to

myself that if somebody comes to me with respect and not trying to make “fun” of me I will be

delighted to answer any questions people have about me, if not it’s a stare and a walk away

LOL. Works like a charm.



With Love,

My Highview

I been reading your posts and im super proud of you for releasing your voice and being so expressive! To be honest, it surprises me that even as adults, a person can still make inappropriate jokes towards someone else who is taller than average. Those jokes, coming from kids, make sense (not commending it, however) because kids up until a certain age don't yet understand that people can be different! So I never knew that as an adult, you STILL get this. In my little head, I always imagined that when ppl saw you, they would admire and love your height. So its surprising to read your posts that you get criticized for it smh. So like i said, i…
