I'm wondering whether to join. I'm quite tall—I'm in the high 170-cm range. Would a woman this tall still be able to date men? I understand it ultimately depends on the individual, and I don't think my figure is bad either. However, if my height would make men hesitant to approach me, I feel there wouldn't be much point in joining. That's why I wanted to ask before applying. I'd appreciate any insight.

I’m Saito, a column writer ♪ I’ll make you an offer, so please do join us. For models, the ideal height is between 178 and 180 cm. Unless you have the benefit of family connections, you can’t even get into runway shows. (I’m not referring specifically to Chanel shows.) Height isn’t something you can gain through ingenuity or hard work. Be grateful to your parents and your environment, and turn it into one of your assets.

Maezawa here as well. It’s hard to say whether being tall will work against you. There are quite a few tall men, too, so they probably wouldn’t mind. Some men are also perfectly fine with a woman being taller than they are if they like her in the photos. Also, taller women often have great figures, so I feel you may receive offers from men who like a model-like body type. In the end, it comes down to whether a man likes you when he sees your photos. So I don’t think you’ll really know until you actually register. It may take some courage, but I hope you’ll consider registering with us.
