5'5" & no! I would like to be 5'8"too. Taller women can wear clothes so much better, IMO. I would hate to be shorter. My mom is 5'3". I sure am glad I didn't get my height from her!
ETA: I also think taller women look much better in heels because they usually have those gorgeous longer legs. Like Cat Deely (?) the girl on So You Think You Can Dance?
I'm just over 5'3 and I wish I was taller. I cannot buy "regular" jeans...always have to get "short" or shop in petites but the styles in that department can be very old lady.
I also wish I could reach all the shelves in my cabinets without needing a step stool.
5'5". female.
where I'm from, that's average to slightly-above average.
moved to area where most people are a couple of heads above me.
like the two posters above said, it's only a problem when trying to shop for clothes. in all the years I've been in this city, the only store I could find that had stuff for not-tall people was that Steve&Barrys chain-- and they went out of business.
5'3-5'4 ish and I do kinda wish I was alittle taller. Not much 5'5-5'7 would have been nice. But I am as tall as I am going to get without the aid of heels which I rarely wear. I do love my stack flip flops though. And I am a couple of inches taller than my mom is and my grandmother was so I guess it's cool.
Plus I always say that it just makes me more creative in how I get things that are taller than I am. Now if I was much shorter I would be pi$$ed cause then I wouldn't be able to ride to roller coasters I love at theme parks and the fair.
6'7"....I've always been tall and couldn't imagine being shorter. While it's more costly to find things to fit you (esp cars) it definitely has its advantages.I love the fact that I look down on my bosses. I have friends who are 6'2"-6'3" and they seem shorter than they should be. Only problem is that i'm a short chick magnet
6' here. I used to think I was too tall when I was a child (and a teenager -unhappiness and lack of self-esteem de rigueur-), but nowadays, if I could choose, I would probably be even taller. I'm very happy being my height though.
I am just about 5'0" and wish I was just a little taller. I have great difficulty reaching things in cabinets and have to use chairs or step stools for everything. My husband is 5'11" and when he's not around to help me reach things then he usually finds chairs and stools everywhere lol! My last dr. appt, I was between 4'11" and 5'0". Just give me 5'3" and i'll be good.
