Just wondering how many of ya'll are happy with how tall you are.I'm 5'9 and i'm happy because i can still wear high heels without looking TOO tall,and i usually date guys above 5'9,which isn't hard because alot of men are over that.I've had this stupid old bitch of woman comment on my high heels once,saying,"That girl is tall and she's wearing high shoes".:lol: Whats with that!
So anyway,how tall is everyone,state if you're male or female,and tell me why you do or why you dont like your height.

I'm a female and I'm only 5 ft and 4 1/2 in tall. No, I'm not happy with my height because I'm too short.

I'm About 6'4-6'5. I've always had this thing against being that tall. I Hit my head on doorways if i'm not careful, People always Make comments about how I'm So Tall.

I Guess Lately i've been a little more accepting of it since Its not going to change anytime soon, Unless Rick Moranis builds me a shrink ray. :lol:

I wish i was taller. I'm 5'10. I wish i was at least 6'6. Ya'll remember the rapper Skeelo? He had a song in the 90's called I Wish. On the hook, he says i wish i was a little bit taller(LOL), i wish i was a baller, i wish i had a girl that looked good so i could call her. I feel the same way he does about his height. Skeelo looks like he's 5'5-5'6.

I guess I'm pretty comfortable with my height. Sometimes I wish I were a little shorter, though. (I'm 5'8)

I'm sort of used to it now, but I used to hate the fact that I was taller than most of the girls and boys in all of my classes.

I'm fine with my height (5'7). I once wanted to be taller until I realized I would have a hard time when I was in a car or van on a long road trip. I have a hard time getting around in the van.

5'10, i've always hated being tall. thank god i've stopped growing. it was horrifying everytime i measured myself and saw i'd grown another inch. and i always just knew i'd grow to be at least 6', i'm so glad i never left the 5 ft range.

I read before that people grow in height until the age of 22, so you may still grow a few inches. In high school, I wasn't even 5'5. Then, as a young adult, I became the 5'6 that I am now.

I am around 5'5". My height does have a few advantages. For one, the front seat in my limo does not go back as far as regular cars because of the partition window, so I don't feel cramped at all.
I wouldn't mind being about 5'9" or so.
The average male is 5'9.5". The average female is 5'4".

I was reading an article about an expert on height (the author was 5'9"). He was asked, "What do you think is the ideal height for a man." He answered, "6'1"... tall enough to play basketball, but not high enough to cause problems.

Actually, you're about 3-4" above average. :)

I'm about 5'5 1/2". I actually just found out last summer that I was that height. I always thought I was 5"4 but when the nurse was measuring me at my psychical she was like "stand up straight" so I stood COMPLETELY straight and it showed my real height! I thought I was shorter because I never really stand up perfectly straight- but I'm workign on that.

But I'm very comfortable with my height. I wouldn't want to a be a really tall girl/woman because then all the guys would be shorter than me. this height is nice because mostly all the guys are taller than me. Plus, if I want to be taller I can wear heels. You can make yourself taller, but you can't make yourself shorter!

They got little hands
And little eyes
And they walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet

Well, I don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People

Short People are just the same
As you and I
(A fool such as I)
All men are brothers
Until the day they die
(It's a wonderful world)

Short People got nobody
Short People got nobody
Short People got nobody
To love.

They got little baby legs
And they stand so low
You got to pick 'em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That go beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin' peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
They're gonna get you every time

Well, I don't want no Short People
