Sort of a spinoff How tall are you

and do you like your height or wish you were taller/shorter?

Re: Sort of a spinoff How tall are you

  • Just a hair over 5'5".  I wish I was about an inch taller, than I wouldn't have to have pants hemmed!

  • I'm 5'8". I don't think I'm tall or short. I like it, though it can make it difficult to find pants at times--longs are too long and average are too short!
  • 5 foot 7 and wouldn't mind being an inch taller!
  • 5'10

    I happy with 5'10

  • 5'10"

    I used to hate it but now it is much more common for pants/jeans to come in longs/talls so I don't mind it.  That was the only thing that annoyed me.

    I wear heels regularly too.  Being tall is cool.  :)

  • I'm 5'1".  In some ways I don't mind because I am petite over all, but I've always wanted to be taller so I could wear pants without hemming them.

  • I am 5'7 but would love to be maybe an inch or 2 taller.

  • 5' 1 1/2"...and I am perfectly fine with that.  I definitely never had to worry about being taller than my dates!  DH is only about 5'9". 
  • I'm 5'11" and I love being tall.  In junior high when all the boys were shorter than me, not so much.

  • 5 '8.  All my friends are shorties, so I always felt like an amazon compared. Also, I always dated guys not much taller than me, so heels were a no go (for me).  MH is 5 '11, so it ended up working out.  I think if I could pick a height it would be just average, like 5 '6.
  • I am just shy of 5'4 and I wouldn't mind being a few inches taller. I am actually tall for my family as my mom is 5'0, my sister is 5'1 and my brother and dad are 5'6 To me 5'4 is too inbetween petite and regular. It's kind of annoying. My husband is 6'3 so Natalie has a shot at being at least 5'6.
  • 5ft nothing.

    It's cool, except at the grocery store sometimes I have to stand on a shelf to reach something on the top.  Yeah.  I'm 37 years old and have to climb the freakin' shelving units.  lol

  • I definitely never had to worry about being taller than my dates! 

    My brothers wife is an inch or two taller than him and it works great for them!

  • I am 5'9"

    I am 100% happy with my height - I like being on the taller side, but I still rock 3-4 inch heels. I do admit I did NOT like achieving my full height in 6th grade, though.  I towered over all the boys for a looooooooong time.

  • Grace, that would really have never been an issue for me, but I know some guys are weird about it.  Most of the men in my family are only 5'6' to 5'8".  My brothers somehow turned into 6' 2" giants for our Italian family.
  • I am 5'8.  I like it just fine.

  • 5'8". I'm happy with it now, but I always wanted to be one of those cute, petite girls when I was in HS.

  • I'm about 5'8".  When I was younger, I hated being tall, but now it doesn't bother me at all.

  • 5'9... I'm fine with it, usually. There have definitely been times I've been jealous of the little petite girls and I feel like a giant standing next to all my friends. And you would think as a dancer, height was supposed to be an advantage, but it ends up hurting me more than anything bc I"m taller than most of the guys or throw off the camera angles and have to be moved, which sucks bc I lose good positions that I deserve, just bc of my height.

  • 5"2". It's fine but if I could be a few inches taller that would be fine too.
  • 5'8. i'm pretty ok with my height. i used to want to be shorter b/c i felt like a freak being taller than friends until they caught up.

  • I'm 5'7".  I sometimes wish I were taller.
  • I'm 5 foot even and I wouldn't mind being a few inches taller. It would make buying pants easier... and BIL was over today while I was starting my baking and was making fun of me b/c I had to drag a chair over to reach the cabinet above the oven where I keep the flour/sugar and stuff.

  • I am only 5'4" so I wish I was taller.... just a few inches taller.
  • I'm 5'11" and like the other tallies here, only grew to appreciate it when I was older. I was really self-conscious about it growing up. Never wore high heels, never wore short skirts, to draw attention to it. Once I hit my 20s, I was like, what the hell have I been thinking! Now I love being tall and I rock the heels whenever I can, even if it means DH is shorter than me (we are the same height in no heels).

  • 5'-8"...I love it!  Though I was the Amazon girl in school for a long time...but by HS it was fine.
