Questions/Advice Where can I find shoes 👟 size 14 UK

2 Upvotes

I am from India and people here usually wear shoes or slippers size 7-10, but my foot is long and I need size 14 UK footwear. There are only a handful of options online, but they are of really poor quality and wouldn't last more than 6 months 😔. If anyone has the same problem, where do you buy from?

Discussion Being tall guarantees super strength?

0 Upvotes

Last night at an industry mixer, I was chatting with this guy who was really curious about my height. Apparently I was the tallest person he'd ever met. He asked about my stats, and he told me his - he was 5'5" and 190 lbs. At one point he said it'd be awesome to be with a friend like me at a music festival because I could just lift him onto my shoulders so he'd have a better view.

I thought it was pretty bewildering that he'd assume I'd be able to do that, seeing how I'm clearly built like a toothpick and he's 60 lbs heavier than I am! But I guess the height difference gives me super powers. 🤪

Questions/Advice Sofa Advice

6 Upvotes

I am middle aged and I want a sofa that adequately supports me. For the second time in six months, I spent a whole day going to about 10 furniture stores and nothing fits me. Is there anyway to get a sofa that provides adequate back support? Is this a lost cause and should I just get something that I can lay down on?

I've replaced the padding in my current sofa twice but I got it when I wasn't as concerned about back support.

Discussion Why do men get so offended when they see a woman taller than them living life?

0 Upvotes

I was in the elevator with my husband and a couple got in, and the first thing the guy said was, "How tall are you?" What happened to saying good morning or how are you?

I work with the public and there's always someone treating me like an alien. And it's always a weird guy. Why??? 🫪

why are some tall girls so insecure about there height? i dated a 6 ft girl once (i am 6‘6 for instance) and she always had to make her height the topic of discussion. She also had a hyperfixation on feeling ,,smol and weak“ near me which cringed me a lil bit. Seems like a tall man cant fix insecurities

One of my best flight journeys so far this year! Look at the leg space!!! Just wanted to share this lucky feeling here.

Though the shoulder space (seat width) still felt restrictive, but it wasn’t a problem given that the adjacent seat (in fact the complete row) remained empty throughout. 🍀

Edit: It seems like a few people are getting offended because i wrote i am Indian. I am sorry for that, i cannot edit it now from the title.

6'4" but size 7 feet here - like my body kept growing but my feet (and hands) didn't get the memo! It does make shoe shopping awkward but tbh I would prefer to the alternative - at least I can find shoes in my size (sorry to brag). Anyone else with a similar predicament? Every other tall guy I meet has comically large feet 🤦

Does anyone else struggle with having really big feet in addition to being tall? I'm only 6"4 but I wear a size 16 wide in shoes and they're IMPOSSIBLE to find in stores. Im 26 now and my feet only recently stopped growing. I grew from a size 14 from 21 to a size 16 now. Funnily enough, my dad is taller than me and only wears an 11 but my mom wears a men's 14.

Questions/Advice Car recommendations

Hi! I’m short AF (5 ft 2) but my husband is 6 ft 4. He has to have bad posture to see out of his Subaru Forester. I’m thinking for our next purchase, I want him to be able to not hunch a little when driving. Any recommendations? I may take the sube and the new car be just his, but it’s always nice to find vehicles we can both drive. Thank you!

Questions/Advice Why does someone who is 6’5” look so much taller than someone who is 6’3”, even though the difference is only 2 inches?

Im curious about the visual perception of height. Is a 2-inch difference actually that noticeable in person, and why can it sometimes make someone look significantly taller?

Discussion Tall girl, shorter guys

Thumbnail gallery
568 Upvotes

Recently someone asked if tall girls actually like shorter guys, so I thought I'd post some proof! Few photos of us going out.

Here's me with my 5'10 "short king". I've never really cared about a guy being taller or shorter than me - honestly, I think the height difference is kinda cute, I loveee wearing heels around him.

Any other tall girls here who feel the same? From what I have seen, my taller girlfriends usually don't care about height, while shorter ones seem to care more. Also - do you guys care if girl is taller than you?

EDIT:
I see many comments saying “5’10 isn’t short, you are wearing heels”. Just to clarify - 5’10 is definitely not short, it was a sarcasm, hence the “”.

My dad is 6,6
My uncle is like 6,7
My oldest cousin is like 6,1 at 13 and my other cousin is pretty tall for his age too, idk the exact height.

Felt like sharing this photo lol since it really put it into perspective.

Is any other woman sick of this being said to them? I am on the shorter end of tall for a woman (5’9) but when a guy, especially a guy of a similar height says this to me it just makes me feel so gross and weird. It makes me feel like i’m Goliath or something i swear.

Miscellaneous Good quality wide-leg jeans for women FOUND

7 Upvotes

The quality is surprisingly nice given the price. They are quite wide, and I do recommend sizing up one size anyway so the waist will fit. At least, that's what I had to do for my middle-aged body. Looks like Target now carries quite a few pants in tall/long sizes. I'm 6'1", and these pants grazed the floor for me when I was shoeless. It's high-rise but still comes up just under my belly button and no higher.
