<\/p>\nA woman who's 6ft3 revealed she's finally found a man who can handle her lofty height.<\/p>\n
Lizzy Groombridge, 29, from Cornwall, has had to deal with insecure boyfriends in the past who banned her from wearing high heels. However, at last, she found the love of a man nearly half-a-foot shorter than her who is confident enough to handle her height.<\/p>\n
The beauty found love on Tinder with electrical CEO James Hitchens, 30, who is 5ft8 and wears a size nine shoe. He 'doesn't care' about Lizzy's height and says she is in fact the first woman taller than him he has ever dated.<\/p>\n

Social media marketing manager Lizzy always felt insecure when dating because the societal stigma attached to taller ladies and the expectation that the man should be taller. The blonde, who sports a size seven shoe and size 10 dress size, claims she had a 'limited pool of people to choose from'.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Lizzy found men shorter than her did not want to step outside of what society viewed as \u2018normal\u2019 and date someone taller than them. However, she actually loves shorter guys and says she wanted to be loved for who she is and not just her height.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have genetics to thank for my height, my great grandparents were tall,\u201d said Lizzy. \u201cDating in the past wasn\u2019t always easy, for many years I felt insecure and as though I didn\u2019t fit in. I struggled meeting genuine people, especially with the stigma of men should be taller, it limited me as many males don\u2019t step away from their comfort zone or what they think society accepts as \u2018normal\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have had relationships where my partner wouldn\u2019t be so comfortable around me, especially in public. For example, I couldn\u2019t wear heels with them.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u201cI wanted to be treated and respected the same as any other person would, regardless of my height. I don\u2019t go for guys who are only interested due to my height. I\u2019m me, I\u2019m worth more and have much more depth to me other than my height difference."<\/p>\n
Lizzy said she often got chatted up, but said that the 'chase became boring'. "I\u2019m just a normal woman, despite my height, I\u2019m just me," she said.<\/p>\n
Because of her height, Lizzy struggles with things many take for granted like clothes shopping. \u201cTights and clothing are a big problem for taller women, which is why I am currently working on my own tights and clothing range,\u201d she said. \u201cPeople often look at my feet in disbelief.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lizzy was insecure about her height when she was younger, but has now learned to embrace it. \u201cI had many insecure years but it\u2019s made me who I am and I've embraced it," she said. "It has allowed me to help empower others. I spent my childhood feeling insecure, and different. I was bullied and beaten down.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u201cKids would call me names like lanky, bean pole, green giant I tried to structure myself in a slumped smaller posture to try and \u2018fit in\u2019, Generally now I've accepted myself which has allowed me to give confidence and self worth to other women. I\u2019ve had women thank me for boosting their confidence and help make a \u2018socially abnormal\u2019 situation seem more normal.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lizzy and her partner James, say they're 'very happy' together, but admit they've been met with judgement at times in their relationship. They choose to ignore any hate though and focus on the positive.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy partner has not dated a taller woman before, I am his first," said Lizzy. "He is very open about the fact many women only date men taller than them. We have very similar views and he likes me for who I am.<\/p>\n
\u201cSometimes, we do get a negative reaction to us as a couple it is mostly just arrogance and expecting me to leave my boyfriend for the tallest guy in the room. No thanks.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have also had a lot of positives, I am lucky to attract people who genuinely respect me, my path and look up to me. I like helping people.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome people thank us for making a socially abnormal thing \u2018normal\u2019 but height should not factor in love. Be you, we\u2019re all built in a unique way, embrace it.\u201d<\/p>\n
