6ft 9in Model Opens Up About Dating Struggles

A 17-year-old model, Katie Woolls, has revealed that her exceptional height has made dating quite difficult, as many men find it hard to handle.

Katie, who is based in London and goes by @tallgirlkatie on social media where she has over one million followers, shared that one of her previous relationships ended partly because of her height with some people even mistaking her then-partner for her son.

She explained that her tall stature can be “intimidating” to men, which she believes plays a big role in her being single. Katie also mentioned that she prefers “average guys,” though being much taller than most makes dating challenging.

“I hope that I will eventually find someone,” she said. “One relationship ended because he didn’t like my height. People would constantly point out our height difference. They would say he looked like my son rather than my partner, which was so embarrassing. I’m definitely single right now because of my height. Everyone is okay with it in theory until they realise that you’re literally a foot taller than them and then it’s an issue. Or they treat my height like a fetish without real intentions for anything romantic.”

Despite being born prematurely, Katie said she grew quickly as a child and was noticeably taller than most. She eventually towered over her older brother, leading people to think she was the eldest.

Now 27, the former tech sales manager said she has learned to embrace her height with confidence, though it continues to make finding love difficult.
