As a 6'1 female, I am constantly having to assuage the feelings of my shorter male counterparts. If I had a nickel for every time that I have heard from a male boss or coworker, "You must be 6'3 because I am 6 feet." No, you are 5'9-5'10 and you really need to come to terms with that. Fortunately for me I am attractive, slim, and I know my stuff! God has blessed me with height and I have finally learned to take it all in stride...
