5'4, sure I wouldn't mind being a little bit taller but I'm not too fussed about my height.

5'5 but i'm taller than most women around here, sometimes men, and I feel like a sore thumb. I think I also look taller than I am because people always describe me as tall. I even get put in a row of tall people in the school photos but it comes out with me looking the shortest. Must be my broad shoulders, long neck and big head haha.

Nothing wrong with having any of those :D

By the way, the better question here is not to ask about height, but weight. Here's the amount of people I've ever talked to in my life whose height dramatically affected their esteem: -3
Weight, seems like most people seem to hate whatever weight they are.

I'm 5'9".

I really aspired to play college basketball when I was younger but was too short to even play guard on varsity.

I'm 5'11", and I absolutely never wear boots or shoes with thicker soles to get that extra inch that nature so cruelly denied me. ::p:

I'm 5 ft 11, well I was the last time I measured myself anyway. I might be 6 ft now! Guys have always made insulting comments about my height so I don't feel very attractive, but other people say they wish they were tall like me :]

First post, woo!

Supermodels from the catwalk are 5'10+ it's very elegant and graceful height. Plus if you put on weight, it never shows! :eek: I used to be 5"10.5/5"11 but I shrank an inch...prob more by now...thats a whole other story but anyway.. . I'm still taller than my shorty bf though and I don't mind at all I feel like a supermodel on his arm :rolleyes:

Any guys who make insulting comments about your height are just insecure. They feel intimidated by a tall beauty, give them a few years I'm sure you'll have them on their knees. That's what usually happens. When I was in highschool I stood out like a sore thumb! And they all made fun of me, pretended to like me, cat called after me but it was all done mockingly. They gave me a hard time and made fun of me because I was so much taller than them. Theyd follow me through the hallways laughing and saying ' oh y'know x really likes you bla bla bla and theyd all be howling laughing, x was about a foot shorter than me and x would laugh too and say ' No I don't!!! Look at her she's bigger than teh tallest guy I know who'd touch that?' or I'd be walking through the grounds on my way in and one of them would whistle and everybody would start laughing they were such $%^& and they all stood surrounding me in groups of boys just laughing at me...feck it I had the last laugh.

but anyway, I left school bout 8 years ago. And I have bumped into a lot of these guys in pubs and nighclubs (not recently for obvious reasons haha :) but in the last couple years) and I have had the opportunity of turning them down one by one and walking away to the sound of their friends laughing at them taunting 'why would you think you had a chance with her ? She's way out of your league!! And yea I wasn't trying to be mean to them I just wouldn't go near them knowing how they used to make me feel. So don't worry the tables turn :)

Thanks, i'll hold my big head up (as much as I could bare with my long neck anyways) :p

Yeah weight is a big issue, but it's good to talk about something else for a change. As with weight though people can get stigmatised for being either being too short or too tall.

I'm 5'5" too.

I think 5'5 is an average.

When I said taller than people around here I don't mean the forum, I mean where I live.
