Life as a small woman: Your height gives you these advantages

Small but mighty

"You're cute" or "can you get up there?" are well-known phrases for short women. As a result, they often feel that they are not being taken seriously or that their self-confidence is being affected. But that doesn't have to be the case at all! Because being a small woman can have many advantages - especially in everyday life.

Small but mighty

Women who are 1.65 m or smaller appear cute more often and are often not taken seriously than taller women. They look defenseless, as if you could do whatever you want with them. That makes it pretty exhausting for little women, especially at work. But that can also be an enrichment for women! Because in order to prove themselves, little women often have to learn to assert themselves. The motto is to become more self-confident and to make yourself heard. Anyone who starts asserting themselves against other colleagues and clearly expressing their own opinion will definitely say "small but mighty"! In this way you will definitely impress your superiors and colleagues and not only secure more respect for yourself, but in the best case even more responsibility!

Reading tip

This is how you get a self-confident appearance!

Small women – high heels

It is often said that it is much easier for small women to wear high heels, since they usually appear taller, but often do not tower over others. That's quite a positive aspect of the smaller size. High heels are known to be very good for creating a chic look, especially at events, in clubs and when visiting a chic restaurant. Although it is often more difficult to find the right clothes, since the right shoe sizes or the shorter jeans are often sold out faster, conjuring up a great outfit is still very easy!

Small women in relationships

Having a partner who is taller than you often awakens the protective instinct of the partner. “Walk carefully across the street, it’s easy to overlook you” or “Let me carry the shopping bags, they’re dragging across the floor with you. And maybe you'll fall over it!” These are sentences that small women in particular get to hear in relationships. After a while, dependency increases when most of the tasks are taken care of. So feel free to speak your mind here! Small women do not always get along worse in everyday life than larger partners. Being assertive not only creates more self-confidence, but also a lot more independence and freedom. This is how you meet your partner at eye level.

"Can you reach it or do you need help?"

Everyone needs help from time to time. And of course there are people who need help even more urgently than little people. And yet, if you go shopping as a little woman, you don't even look at the upper shelves anymore, because most of the time you can't get to them at all or you have to ask a supermarket employee for help. But this can also be advantageous in many ways! Asking for help is a great strength and by no means seems weak. In addition, if you don't ask for help, you might rather orientate yourself towards the groceries below - and in many supermarkets they are even the cheaper ones. So savers beware!

Little women in the household

Just take something out of the upper kitchen cupboard? No, unless you climb onto the countertop. Climbing up ladders is annoying and above all dangerous! That's why the motto here is: create order and separate the important from the unimportant. Sort things that you rarely need directly at the top, the most important things at the bottom. This is how you learn to organize yourself. Simplifying life in this way can also be transferred to other areas. What about the clothes on the top shelves of the closet? Here, too, organizational talent is in the foreground! The following applies there: sort according to the current season so that winter clothing is simply at the top in summer. These little things also ensure better organization at work and with a busy schedule and in many areas also more efficient work.

"Are you 26 already? You look like 16!"

Most small women usually just look cute and, above all, very young because of their height. In the club in front of the bouncer, at the cinema box office when watching a horror film or when buying alcohol - if you are small aka cute, you will be asked for your ID card much more often. This can often be annoying for small women. "Are you 26? You look like 16.” Short women often think it's silly to be pretended to be younger. Freely based on the thought "Why do they think I'm still a teenager?" But that's exactly the positive aspect: Well kept!

You think you're one of the few women that's short? Wrong thought, because there are quite a few celebrities too!
