A tall girl is defined as any girl above the 5'8" 5'9" range. They are almost always misjudged, completely overlooked by guys, often picked on, and have a ridiculously hard time finding clothes.

How should you treat a tall girl? Like any other human being. Don't mention her height, don't ask her if she plays basketball, don't glance at her feet to see if she's wearing heels, don't stare at her like she's an extinct species, and please, whatever you do, don't pick on her. I gaurantee whatever you're about to say to her, she has heard before.

Now guys, specifically tall guys... I will let you in on a little secret. I would say most tall girls, including myself, get extremely jealous when they see you dating short girls. Extremely jealous. I mean, c'mon! Being a nice tall guy like yourself, why would you not want an equally tall, beautiful girl? There is no difference between a short girl and a tall girl, except for height. And that will never be anything more than a number.

PS. Guys, if the only reason you're overlooking a tall girl is because her height supposedly offends your "masculinity".... GROW UP. That is your problem, not hers.

And just so you know, I'm not just making this stuff up. I'm a little over 6 feet myself.

Tall girls: You are beautiful. You are unique. You are you. Stay true to yourself and love who you are.

Did you know: the average height for women in the U.S. is 5'4.6"... Not kidding.

A short gay male top whoms sexual preference solely includes overly tall men with which to turn into his bottom.

Similiar to the term "Tree Climber" for heterosexuals, a Tall Climber is not just a short person whom likes a tall person, it is a small person whom seeks to be the alpha male over the tall person (imagine a Chihuahua having sexual relations with a Great Dane). Contrary to natural selection and the bigger being the dominate and fully inclusive of the Napoleonic Complex, but bleeding over to sexual preferences and desires, tall climbers desire to conquer everything that is larger than themselves. A typical example of this includes bending over a military guy to turn them into a snowy mountain with which the tall climber will use to climb for 12 minutes and then eventually plant his flag upon reaching the top.
"Hey Malik, who is that guy right there that just entered our group circle and won't stop starring at you?"
"Ignore him, he's probably just a tall climber."
