Maci Currin, 21, measures 6 feet, 10 inches tall, with both legs measuring more than 52 inches in length.
The world record holder claims she’s been subjected to harsh comments from strangers when dating and trying to locate trousers that fit her legs.
“If someone is going to hate, it’s because they don’t understand,” Currin stated in an interview with Jam Press. “[I’m] called horror movie characters, like Slenderman.”
The super-tall Texan posts videos on TikTok, where trolls frequently make harsh comments about her appearance.
“That would be scary to see in a dark hallway,” one person commented on the content creator’s most recent video.
Currin, however, is treated mercilessly by more than simply strangers.
She told Jam Press that she always towers above her dates, making some feel inadequate and “embarrassed.”
“All the times I’ve dated, especially with men that are shorter than me by a significant amount, has just felt off,” she said. “Like they were almost embarrassed of me.”
In one TikTok clip, Currin claimed that men are reluctant to kiss her in public because of the height difference.
Finding clothes that fit is also an issue.
“I shop at American Tall mostly, although they don’t have any long pants that fit me,” she explained.
“I have to get them custom-made, which costs around $250 for one pair of jeans. I’m not made of money [so] I only have two pairs of jeans that fit me right.”
Currin says she hasn’t drawn the short end of the stick with her long legs, and loves being her height despite the setbacks.
“I hated my height [as a child] because it was the one thing kids could target me for,” she stated. “But the best perk would have to be that no one is like me. I am unique.”
Currin is now on a mission to encourage other similarly tall women to love themselves.
“As a 6 foot, 10inch female, my job is to empower other tall women,” she said.
