I'm 5'4 1/2" to be exact. That's pretty much the height of the average American woman. When I was younger I wanted to be taller, but now I'm happy with my height, I'm neither too short nor stick out.

I don't think I'd mind being a couple inches taller, but at this point I guess it doesn't really matter. I feel like being tall sends these subtle social cues to other people, that it gives me a sense of authority or dominance, which is great as I'm a rather shy and quiet person. I get this sense of intimidation from other people, especially other girls and I think it alters the way they react to me.

Or this could all be in my head

2 inches is all you need? Shoot, at my height, I can't even dunk! It's because I'm white. White men can't jump. It's the truth!

5'4

average height for a female.

I'm happy...but I always wondered what it would be like to be one of those glamazons...and be able to see whats on top of my fridge I always walk tall and would do so if I was 6ft too...those women look amazing striding along.

I would hate to be shorter just for practical reasons, on the other hand I'd like to be tiny cos men love that and I like men.

I've just finished my sophomore year in HS and I'm a 5'10 tall girl. I'm done already as told by the doctor. I really like wearing my heels but in order for bf not to feel that awkward, I stopped wearing them.
