Having It Tall I’m a 6’2” woman. What’s the ideal way for me to respond when people (almost always men and total strangers) ask, out of the blue,“How does a woman your height find boyfriends?” —Annoyed I’d opt for the macabre approach, delivered totally deadpan: “Actually, I stretch short men on a rack in my basement. You can sometimes hear the screams from the side yard.” Responding with shocking humor — in an uber-cool tone — gives you the upper hand in a way an enraged response to their rudeness would not. And yes, people who say this to you are rude — assuming you don’t go around wearing a sign that reads “Hey, strangers, ask me anything! Nothing’s too impolite or too personal!” Of course, when people overstep (as maybe 6,055 other people have done previously), it’s natural to get angry — to go loud and ugly in calling them on their rudeness. However, that sort of directness — explicitly telling them that
they’ve wronged you — is probably counterproductive. Social psychologist Elliot Aronson finds that people are highly prone to “self-justification” — the ego-defending denial that they’ve behaved badly. Making matters worse, our fight-orflight system reflexively reacts to verbal attacks in the same adrenalized way it does to physical attacks. So, angry directness from you is likely to provoke a rudester into amping up the ugly — turning around and deeming you rude, wrong, and “Wow...testy!” for your response. Ultimately, using humor as I suggested — an over-the-top statement, delivered flatly —allows you to restructure the power balance, shifting yourself out of the victim position. You’re clearly informing the person they’ve crossed a line, with minimal aggression on your part. This is important because, as a tall girl, your energy is best put to more productive ends — folding yourself up like origami to fly in coach and fighting the Statue of Liberty for the extremely tall guys of Tinder.
Meek My Day! My style is basically grunge rocker girl: ancient jeans, a vintage rock T-shirt, and bedhead. I need photos of myself, so late Saturday afternoon, I did a photo shoot with a professional stylist, makeup artist, and photographer. Long story short, I despise all the photos. They dressed me in “nice lady” clothes I hated and put too much makeup on me, including lipstick, which I never wear. I’m normally pretty assertive, so I don’t understand why I didn’t speak up for myself. —Irritated
to direct your “attention, behavior, thoughts, and/or emotions.” This, in turn, empowers you to do what you know you should — like eating your green beans instead of going with what your impulses are suggesting: face-planting in a plate of fries and soldiering on to do the same in a bowl of chocolate frosting. As I explain in my “science-help” book, “Unf*ckology: A Field Guide to Living with Guts and Confidence,” our mental energy to keep our executive functions powered up gets eroded by stress, fatigue, hunger, and even seemingly minor mental chores — like choosing When your style is grunge femme — between the 30 slightly different kinds of bedhead and jeans that appear to be balsamic at the supermarket.
