How do you feel about your height?

[LisaSkinnoble]

just fine, thanks.

[rockangel]

So is being called a giant.

you are not a giant, not even to me....

i dont mind being short, but its hella annnoying when people call you cute simply based on the fact that you are short. Its not cute, its just how tall i turned out to be even with medical help.

Its also annoying when you go to pick up your kids from school and the teachers ask you where your parent is.

Most of the time i dont even realize that i am short (unless trying to reach something on the top shelf, which makes me cuss while i try to find out where i put the stool). So i find it annoying when people need to call me cute or not acknowledge the fact that im 32, not 12.
I get carded every time, which ends up with the same uncomfortable conversation...just annoying, but nothing i can do.

Well hello fellow 5'11 'er I wear heels for work alot of times and especially for management meetings and I do feel like a giant. I am actually taller than most of the men I work with.

But to answer OP. I love being tall.

Oh heyyyy.

I've always wondered why tall women bother with wearing heals when it makes you look like an Amazon and you stand out like a sore thumb. Why do you guys do that? Trying to assert dominance over the men or what?

Because I like the way my calves and butt look when I wear heels. :P If you actually catch me putting enough effort in to wear something other than sweats/yoga pants outside of the house, I might as well complete the outfit. Flats make me feel dull and look awkward with most "nice" outfits. And the way I see it, not that igaf, but if you're deterred by my height in heels you probably would be deterred by it in flats too, anyway.

In more practical applications, I wear heels at my new job because my dress pants are cut to wear with a heel.

6'0... and not a single f*ck was given that day.

Jealous. I used to make my dad recheck my height measurements every few months in high school because I desperately wanted my basketball roster to say I was 6'0. No dice

would take out to a nice dinner and buy a pair of 4" heels

Oooooh, In-N-Out burger?

[DaniGrrl]

Yeah, I don't wear heels bc I want to be taller. I wear them because they make my legs look good and an outfit look sexy. They do the same for tall women so I say rock those heels!!!!

This.

Brb already perky, squat booties looking perkier in heels.
Brb permanent muscle definition lines for the duration of the time you wear them.

[sgtpeppers]

Lol at jimmies being rustled when tall women wear heels.

[Squatticus]

Oh heyyyy.

[MrsClayMatthews]

Double double animal style with animal fries. Do it. You'll thank me later.

[kimm4]

5'4" is not a height that towers over people...even when wearing heels LOL...

No offense, OP. Just a reality check.

[kimm4]

Oh noooooo!

*Goes off to silently cry in the corner*

[thehobbes]

Wish I was a bit taller so I don't have to go all tippie toes on the lat pulldown station.

[NatK]

I'm 5'2".....and I love my height
I've been told I carry myself well and people are surprised when I say I am only 5'2" - probably because I wear heels almost everyday haha. I don't wear heels to be taller though; I just don't want to hem every pair of jeans I own lol.

[Fawnl]

I'm 5'6, I don't really care how tall or short I am. But I wouldn't have minded being a little taller.

Hmm. Amazon looking like she is 6'2 or 6'3 looks better than looking "stupid" with flats? If you say so.

I wear giant heels for me not for you. If you don't like it, guess who's problem that is?

[sarah30]

I love being 5'8"!

[shesprints]

I like my height OK; I'm a little taller than average, but not so much so that it's hard to find taller guys.

Except for some reason it is hard to find guys tall enough for me. I like them tall. And with broad shoulders. Hard when I have pretty broad/muscled shoulders myself.

In terms of personal satisfaction with my body and performance in my sport, I think 5'5'' or 5'6'' is pretty normal and good for a runner. I guess if I were long distance I would want to be smaller.

[meimonsta]

Beautiful, hot, sexy, gorgeous. But most people see a 5'1" chick and say "she's a cute girl."

I'm 5'8 and I still get called "cute" all the time because I have a baby face, grr.

5'4" is average height in the US, OP. Of course you'd look taller with heels on. Everyone does.

Imagine girls who are 5'9"+ (without heels, which isn't uncommon) with heels on. That's tall.

Exactly this! People give me all sorts of attitude when I wear heels that put me over 6 foot! "You're tall enough blah blah."
In general, I'm pretty happy with my height, though I'm mirin all you girls over 5'9 though; I would love to be super statuesque like that.

My exact sentiments.

[cowboybiker]

6' is good for me.
















I'm just happy I'm not a manlet.

[beatha]

wouldn't have minded being taller

[Spartanbaziotis]

Feeling pretty darn short after being in this thread :P

[poisonivvy]

I'd love to have long legs for just a day (cause the grass is always greener). Then I remember I like my stumpies much more whilst boarding an airplane and settling into the seats, never having an awkward moment of being taller than my date for a good night kiss, and always being able to hem cute pants (cant always expand them...but can easily cut them!).

[CaliSun]

Oh heyyyy.

Don't most people lie on basketball rosters? Oh well, I admire your honesty MCM

[Sneza]

I'd be happy with 2 more inches

I-)


i dont want my kids to be short

[Zedonkgirl]

I'm happy with my height, and wear heels all the time.
It sucks when it comes to dating and my personal preferences, but it allows me to come across as strong and to get attention when needed.

[Botika]

I'm 5'5.... I wish I was a couple inches taller!

[Bandie]

5'4" is not a height that towers over people...even when wearing heels LOL...

even in my 6" heels i have never ever towered over anyone, pretty sure the word giant has never been used to describe me either

<------ i am actually 5'4, i enter my stats in metric and it sometimes changes when it converts to inches/pounds. Yes claiming that extra inch is important to me lol

[kimm4]

[Squatticus]

notsureifsrs...love me some tall ladies, the day i meet a 6'0 HBB is game over
