As a tall girl, nag-aalala ako na baka hindi ko mafeel na secured ako if I'm taller than him. And baka, maging awkward din. Hindi pa kami nagmmeet sa personal, sinabi niya lang na 5'4 siya
I'm 5'6, and for a Filipina that's already tall. They always say na I have an advantage or maganda raw height ko, pangmodel, lang beauty queen etc. but they don't realize the cost of it. They'll invalidate you pa when you say na insecurity mo 'yon, kesyo "Buti ka nga matangkad eh". Akala talaga nila, compliment for me, masabihang matangkad, naiinis ako, naiilang and all.
Nung Highschool ako, sinabihan ako ng mga kaklase ko non na, Walang magkakagusto sakin kasi I'm too tall. It will be difficult for me raw na humanap ng taller sa akin. Sometimes, I use my height to crush men's ego and uplift my confidence kapag tintry akong insultuhin ng iba. I'll convince myself na it's really an asset, pero mas marami pa rin talagang disadvantages eh, clothes, shoes, group photos and dating.
Sometimes I wonder if I was born short, like 5'3. Dating won't be hard, and I won't be labeled as "Poste" "Higante" "Kapre". There are tall guys, I know pero jusq they're into girls who's 5'0 and below, tapos those guys naman na 5'5 to 5'7 are into short girls din syempre.
Now, na may nanliligaw sa akin na short king, mas lalo lang akong naiinsecure. Lagi niya kasing binbring up yung height difference namin, para daw siyang keychain kapag katabi ako, minions or what. Humor lang for him, pero sakin sobrang nakakababa ng self-confidence. I think, I'll reject him.
