Navigating societal expectations can be more challenging than a 1980s wrestling match between Ric Flair and Dusty Rhodes, especially for women over 6 feet tall. Being a tall woman in America takes work. Strangers approach you almost daily, telling you what to do with your life or questioning your career choices just because of your height.
People often assume that taller women are best suited for sports or modeling, but let's consider our manners briefly and remember that taller humans are not created solely for others' entertainment.
While my father never forced me to play sports, many young women feel pressured by their friends or family to pursue careers suggested for taller women, which can sometimes be limiting. If you enjoy playing sports, you should consider playing, but it's important to shed light on other industries desiring sizable talents in this world.
In this blog post, I aim to alleviate pressure, encourage taller women to embrace their competitive edge and recognize that height can grant advantages beyond society's narrow domains.
Before we dive in, I want to remind tall women to take pride in your natural bodies and features. I'll share a personal motto I used to tell myself before mustering the courage to wiggle my size 15 foot into 5-inch stiletto heels, "No shame in my frame." Confidence is a must in any industry you take your talents to, but never allow society's opinions to intimidate or derail your pursuit of happiness. Resist being pushed into specific careers based solely on height. After all, every person has something unique to offer to this world.
Now that that's out of the way let's take the training wheels off of this conversation for a moment. Many amazing Amazons will realize that leveraging your physical advantages in competitive industries or the workplace is a wise and practical form of self-preservation. Remember, we thrive when we work smarter, not harder.
I started playing basketball when I was 12 years old, and little did I know that this simple game played with an orange ball filled with air would take me on an incredible journey. By age 25, I had earned a full athletic scholarship, savored the best wine, pasta, and pizza Italy offered, traveled on charter flights, learned new languages, and formed new relationships with people from different cultures worldwide. It's important to understand that achieving success requires hard work, and you're mistaken if you think your good looks and height will suffice to succeed in this game called life. But today's college athletes have the advantage of being paid to play, creating young millionaires before age 21. So, it's worth the effort.
For women who genuinely enjoy and excel at sports, pursuing a career in athletics is a no-brainer, and the sooner you start, the better. As a taller woman, your enhanced agility, length, and power can be invaluable assets in basketball, volleyball, rowing, and other sports. Not to mention, I'm sure the military or any police force wouldn't mind your services. The physical advantages of being tall can open doors to professional opportunities, scholarships, and the chance to make a meaningful impact outside of sports.
Of course, we are supreme in the fashion industry! We possess unique attributes that are highly sought after on the runway and in print. Our height creates a striking and captivating presence that is irresistible to the fashion world. We are the epitome of elegance and grace, so don't be shy—show the world what real eye candy looks like!
If you're wondering, "What other career fields can I excel in as a tall woman?" I'm glad you asked. In addition to sports or modeling, we are always the best candidates for leadership positions due to our natural ability to command attention. Research shows that height can impact specific skills beneficial in managerial roles, entrepreneurship, and public speaking engagements, naturally qualifying us as ideal candidates for leadership roles (for more information on tall women in professional industries, click here).
Did you know the arts have a special place in their hearts for taller women? The arts could be a great way to express your creativity and showcase your abilities to sell tickets in places other than a sports arena. Dance, theater, and performance arts often require individuals to possess a strong stage presence. As a taller woman, your height can become a dynamic tool for engaging audiences, allowing you to command attention effortlessly.
To all the incredible, taller women, know that your height is not a flaw but a unique gift that can set you apart and provide endless opportunities for your professional aspirations. Regardless of your choices, celebrate your height, leverage your physical attributes, and redefine success on your terms.
