A COUPLE have opened up on getting constantly stared and shouted at in the street as a result of their height difference.
After years of dating men, Lizzy Jade Groombridge, who is known online as Lizzy Long Legs, has now ditched ‘short Kings’ for her ‘short Queen’ – her new girlfriend, Candie Dixon.

But since getting together, with Lizzy standing at 6ft 3″ tall and Candie a significantly shorter 4ft 9″, the pair’s height difference often attracts unwanted attention.
The women, who live in Cornwall, UK, first met in Costa Coffee after speaking on social media, and started off as best mates.
But they soon realised there was something more and now they’re happily in love.
Revealing all to Truly, on an episode of Love Don’t Judge, the women opened up on the judgement they regularly face.
Lizzy confessed: “People tend to glare, whisper amongst themselves.”
To which Candie explained: “I’m holding hands with someone who is so much taller than me. And I kind of get nervous sometimes because I think, do they think that I’m your daughter because of the height?”
Not only is Lizzy shouted at in public, called a ‘Green Giant’ by haters, and forced to tell people ‘she’s not my child’, but she even has her height tattooed on her hand in an attempt to stop people asking how tall she is.
But it appeared that content creator Candie may struggle with the comments slightly more than Lizzy, as she revealed: “I’m getting a bit fed up of the comments online.
“Every time we go out, people stare at us. It’s really frustrating.”
Agreeing, Lizzy added: “I think it’s a projection of men’s insecurities over a woman being so much taller.
“That can emasculate them and make them feel insecure so they project that.
“We often get stared at but we don’t care. It doesn’t matter what they think.”

Lizzy explained that she thinks the trolls have their “own issues they need to work on” and should “stop projecting” on others.
As a result, she’s on a mission not to let them get her down, as she beamed: “It doesn’t stop me. I still wear heels.
Every time we go out, people stare at us. It’s really frustrating

One person said: “I adore their style against trolls & haters! YOU GO GIRLS!
Another added: “You both seem happy and that’s all that matters.”
