Reasons to celebrate being a tall woman

Being 6ft2 myself, I have often wondered why there is so little written to encourage and celebrate tall women. It’s so hard growing up and having any extraordinary feature which makes you stand out from your peers, whether that be height or looks or whatever. You should embrace everything that you are, particularly if that is great height - the rest of the female population is desperately squeezing into 5 inch heels in an attempt to achieve what you do simply by standing up every morning!

Here are my favourite reasons to celebrate your height:

1.    It’s easier to be taken seriously. Tall women are perceived to be more intelligent, capable and successful.
2.    You can always see any talent (boys!) in the room & find your friends easily.
3.    You always get to sit ‘shotgun’ in (the front seat of) a taxi or friends car.
4.    You can never be average…..Thank God!
5.    People will always remember you.
6.    The likelihood to someone wearing the same outfit as you is so slim - so,so slim.
7.    You have a hope in hell of resembling a supermodel.. .to most of the female population, it’s an impossibility.
8.    You are naturally a more able athlete
9.    Your friends (generally) can’t borrow shoes or clothes, which they later trash.
10.    Tall women statistically earn more than their shorter colleagues.
