I'm a graphic designer and illustrator. I started my comic blog Tall N Curly back in 2012 to share my tall girl problems. Do you remember my previously posted funny comics about "25 Problems I Face When Being A Tall And Curly-Haired Girl" here on Bored Panda?

I wanted to create some space in my life for something creative that had nothing to do with my work. By doing so, I realized I was telling the everyday problems of so many other women. Women, who, just like me, want and need to be reminded that it's OK, fun and even special to be different and to own who they are.

Since I started my webcomic series, I've had the opportunity to talk with so many amazing women who shared their girl problems with me. Whether they're tall, short, skinny, curvy, their stories about living their life and not being able to fit any mold inspire my cute drawings every day.

Thanks to them, I never lack inspiration or have to try hard making these relatable comics... There's always something new to tell!

I have the same issue with the pants length. The size that fits me is too short, what's longer is too big. Thankfully they started making different types of cuts and fits and you can have petite, normal or long cut to match your leg length and your hips.

Most the time the taller the guy is, the shorter the girls they date. Always wondered why.

Just because you're tall doesn't mean you get to be mean to short girls because their boyfriend is tall.

The girl is a b***h throughout this entire series. I guess you gotta be tall to appreciate it, because my short a*s keeps thinking “jeez, how rude!” Lol

You can complain about being tall without putting shorter girls down (expecting us to tailor whom we date to accommodate your height). It is not like we can control our height any more than you can yours. Also, hopefully a relationship is based on more than something so superficial.

I know this is a joke, and being her BFF is short I hope this is done more in good humor than not. People connect on a whole lot more than their height. I've dated men of all heights, shapes and sizes. My husband I met online, without a clue as to our heights. Matching on every emotional and mental level possible. Now at times we walk down the street and I occasionally get the stink eye from a tall girl, (thankfully not all) because the *love of my life* happens to tower over my 5'1" with his 6'5". Like PLEASE, incredibly superficial, shallow, and beyond intrusive with such an implication. Seriously, like how dare them, the audacity that they think their height is a validation to belittle my beautiful relationship.

People always do this to “mismatched” relationships, and people feel a sense of ownership over other people who look like them. Tall girls act entitled to tall guys and hate on short girls with tall boyfriends. The same thing happens with race. I cannot even explain how many black women give me the stink eye for being seen with my boyfriend who is also black (and I’m not, I’m persian). People are jealous and stupid.

Or you know she could be basing their relationship on something like love instead of some selfish tall chick wanting him for his height!

I get stink-eye a lot from tall ladies. I'm 5ft 2, and my husband is 6ft 3. Wasted inches...I like that.

Its like saying a tall girl dating a short guy means she has a superiority complex going on. That's rude. She loves him, he loves her. Height shouldn't be a big factor to her when it comes to a potential boyfriend, nor have a sour attitude towards others about Her lack of acceptance.

You can date men shorter than you.... Unfortunately men and women who feel differently are victims of silly gender rules. Men and women don't need to feel bad about their height.

At 5'1, everyone is taller than me. However, I know I look silly with my 6'2 boyfriend. It really wasn't intentional. But I accept there are a lot of people into the big size difference thing.

Or just date guys not based on height. Plenty of men would date a taller women.

Ugh. In my experience, tall guys are either athletes(who I'd have little interest in) or self-concious nuerotics, or taken.

Same here (speaking as a tall girl.) Even not- quite- as- tall guys tend to be much too cool for me. Or too different. Somehow I don't think anyone I like would like me back.

Many short guys are happy to date tall girls, but few tall girls want to date short guys.

I'm only slightly taller than average and I get this issue. Worked in a place where the mirror was set up at a height for wheelchair-users, even though the restroom itself was anything BUT accessible. On the plus side, I always knew how good my rack looked!
