"YOU'RE SO TALLLL"??

[Foreveranonymous]

For all the tall guys out there(including me),how would should I respond to a girl saying "saying you're so tall"I tired of saying of saying I know know.

Sidenotelease separate how to respond to girl that I want as friends and potential lovers.

As a guy standing 195 cm above the ground living in Korea, I get this a lot. My normal response is giving a sexy smile and saying "I know" or "thanks".
Usually I'll take it as a sign of interest, so I'll ask what her name is and keep going from there.

"Youuuuuur soooo short"...smile..wink.

Open as usual..

That's it.

I once had a girl say my feet were huge, I just looked her in the eye and said 'thanks'.

I'm sure with enough thought you can turn this back on her in a sexy or seductive way:

"Thanks for noticing my length "
"Why did you make that comment? Are you going to climb me?"

Or you can just be goofy about it if you don't care:

"What? Did someone say something all the way down there? Hellooooooo"

Depending on how a girl says it, I actually usually take this as a sign of interest. This perception is based on my past experiences with short girls liking tall guys though -- girls love being able to wear massive stilettos. (In fact, you can tell her that! "Yes, so you can wear stilettos when we dance "). I'm only 6' (182 cm) though, so I don't get that comment often, and I may just live in a place where tall guys with short girls is more common.

I used to take other remarks similar to this as offensive, but I've learned that usually inexperienced girls will say this just to get your attention/interest -- not realizing that you may be somewhat offended by it.

Commenting on height is usually nothing more than a statement of interest. Most women use this to open, and it shows that they want to talk to you. Commenting on situational circumstances is generally just a sign that the opposing person wants to speak with you, so they are using that to get the ball rolling.

I'm on the fringe of the abnormally tall spectrum; I stand about 6'3 tall without shoes and 6'5 tall with shoes on. I often get comments about height from women; they usually ask me how tall I am or say wow you're tall whenever I am standing near them. Height is a great tool of implied value, and as such it should be treated as no big deal to you, though height is generally a big deal to women.

I usually don't transition this into a sexual comment for a few reasons; you already have the sexual appeal in this situation, so there's no need to put a sexual frame around it. If she seems to be clearly in power in the situation, you can certainly use it as a power move to gain the upper hand and tease her about her height as a result, as a few of the guys suggested.

Dorian Gray has the right idea in this situation, it shouldn't be a big deal. It may be intimidating them; no need to go into auto-rejection with her by teasing her or making a sexual comment if this is the case. Simply saying "thanks; (proceed to deep dive or move her)" or "Yeah, (proceed to deep dive or move her)". It's an excellent transition point that you can use as it disrupts the natural flow of conversation. If she uses it at the beginning of a conversation, which is where you'll notice it more often, use it to direct open, "Yeah - hey your eyes are cute.. they look like little half moons; my name is Ross."

I'm not big on becoming good friends with girls that I haven't hooked up with, as I usually end up leading them on without necessarily meaning to. But if you want to maintain a friendly atmosphere, simply never imply sexuality in your conversation. Keep things neutral and friendly instead of sexual and edgy. Smile instead of smirk when you compliment her, display warmth instead of edge. The actual words won't determine much unless you are framing things in a sexual nature.
