How Tall Are You?

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 :)

Hehe, yeah that's true, when I'm going through my phases of wanting to eat really healthy, it doesn't seem to make much difference from when I'm eating like a pig. I hope that doesn't change TOO much when I'm older, though my thighs are a bit wobbly lol. That's sweet about you and your boyfriend! My ex boyfriend I think was a bit insecure, he told everyone that I was really short (we met online so that is what he told his friends that I never met) to make himself feel better I guess, there was only like 3 inches between us, don't know why he was so worried.

Wow the tables really did turn for you! It was exactly like that for me at school as well, it was always guys making fun of me, sometimes girls but guys always had a comment to make about my height and they would say stuff like they did to you. Now that I'm at uni I don't really encounter people like that but I still feel awkward and gawky - if that's the right word -in my body. And it's hard finding flattering clothes too! But I'm sure I'll feel like a beautiful swan soon enough.

I am new here and I am 6`6 (198,5cm). My height has always bothered me alot, i adds to the fact that i feel that people are always watching me and I could never blend into a crowd(even though I am scandinavian). Often wish i could be at least a couple of ince`s shorter:)
 
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.

Me, too! I wanted to play forward in high school. At 5'8"ish, that's... somewhat normal for HS (especially at my school, were the tallest player was my sister's best friend, who was only 6'1"). But in college, 5'8" is pushing it and in the pros, we'd definitely be two of the shorter players around. :) I've always wanted to be taller. My sister's friend didn't like it much because everyone made fun of her, but she went on to have a good basketball career at an NAIA school. Oh well. Can't do anything about it now.
