A woman who has held the Guinness World Record for having the 'world’s longest legs' for four years has opened up on her difficulties dating men.
Maci Currin, 21, is 6ft 10ins and she says her job is to 'empower other tall women'.
The 21-year-old from Austin, Texas, has gone viral on TikTok for displaying her long frame and statuesque legs, both different in length.

One of her legs is 53.3 inches and the other is 52.8 inches.
“I get a lot of mixed reactions, but that’s to be expected,” she said.
“If someone is going to hate, they hate because they don’t understand.

“[I am also] called horror movie characters, like Slenderman.
“I’ve always been taller than everyone since pre-school.
“I’ve always been a head above everyone.
“There was this one instance where I was playing on the playground – I think I was in second grade – and someone asked me if I was a middle schooler because of how tall I was.

“At the time I hated my height because it was the one thing kids could target me for.
“[But] the best perk would have to be that no one is like me.
“I am unique.
“People will often be like ‘you are so beautiful, do you model?’.

“As a 6’10 female, my job is to empower other tall women.”
However, Maci has also opened up about how her height has impacted her dating life.
She claims men don’t like kissing her in public because of the height difference.

“I currently have no interest in dating, but all the times I’ve dated – especially with men that are shorter than me by a significant amount – has just felt off,” she said in one of her videos.
“Like they were almost embarrassed of me.”
She also said that 'finding clothes is hard'.
“I shop at American Tall mostly, although they don’t have any long pants that fit me – 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.”
Maci has retained the title of having the world's longest female legs for four years, but isn't bothered if someone takes over the mantle.
She added: “I have had the world record for female longest legs for about four years now.
“Having that title doesn’t have a meaning to me anymore.
“It’s more of a thing of the past.
“If anyone wants to take the title from me I’d be more than happy.”
