    Does that even exist?

    I don't know...I know heaps of very ambitious females who have risen to the top and are kicking ass.

    Hmmm, I'm going to live longer because I'm short?

    I would like to say that I have fully accepted myself and not change a thing currently except my nose goes red like Rudolph after 30 min plus in the sun, even when I put on sunscreen and wear a hat.

    According to that article there is research to support it...

    A 2014 study published in the journal PLOS One tracked 8,000 Japanese-American men over the course of 40 years and discovered that the shorter the subject, the longer the life. They discovered that a certain variant of the FOXO3 genome, which is directly

    After reading these posts I'll have to let my 183cm daughter know she is very lucky and blessed. Even though the current dress style looks like a singlet on her. Her height was a big issue to her but she's finally accepted it's Ok to be tall and it doesn't matter if you don't find a partner who is taller.

    My daughter is 180 and towers over her males in the friend group
    My daughters like yours ... 180cm and, being a pear shape, struggles to find clothes that fit ... also towers over the friend group, blokes and gals, so is looking forward to uni starting next week and meeting some taller people

    Sorry, but as a 198cm tall individual, I have to say that's rubbish.
    Taller people will require more food to full, all other things being equal.

    Oh yeah, and lack of leg-room, near impossiblity to find shoes that are big enough and beds always being too short are just a couple of the things that really suck.
    And yes, I do have an increased risk of cancer, for example, simply because I have more cells and a single cell can be the cause of developing cancer.
    But all in all, I really can't complain about being a tall, white, straight, able-bodied male. People just assume I'm competent, even in areas where I'm not.

    Why did Frida Kahlo have a unibrow?
    An enduring feminist icon, Kahlo's unibrow has become shorthand for: “I won't curb my self-expression to meet your expectations of how a woman should look.” That shock of dark hair on her brow is a statement rejecting stereotypes about what is and isn't attractive.

    Frida wore what she wanted , when she wanted (like me, apart from lots of straps and other things to support her body) She is one of my style icons.
    When I go to fancy dress parties I usually go as Frida, and well intentioned people advising me of a good 'hair remover'.
    Religious Sikhs don't cut their hair and keep their mono brows if that's what they were handed in the gene pool. It takes me a moment or two to get used to different ideas of beauty, but I'm glad that I can do that. Wouldn't do if we were all the same!

    Not every one bases their decisions on what others may think. I know in my case I couldn't care less what others may think. I can choose what preferences I personally like and go with it:)

    Life is definitely too short to worry about what others may think.

    I wish I had a butt.

    I could have sworn I had one when it I was younger. It must have disappeared. Last year some women at work had an informal best butt competition.

    People laughed when I wanted to nominate myself. Maybe I shouldn't have mooned the judges. lol.
