Enjoy it.
I'm 5'2 1/2" and 120. I'm small and adorable and it works in my favor a lot.
Yeah I rather be called sexy instead of adorable but hey guys like short girls.

You gotta understand that this, like many things, is relative. Your 4'11" might be my 5'5", or vice versa. There's no dividing line that determines "adorable", or any other descriptor.

I've never called women adorable.

Absolutely called little girls adorable though, like girls who aren't teenagers yet.

Height can give you a younger age for the time being.

This. I don't use words like "cute" or "adorable" to describe the looks or appearance of grown men or women. They're not puppies or babies. I "get" how words like cute and adorable are used, often to denote youthfulness, an innocent look or bubbly personality, but it comes off, again, child-like. I can think a behavior or mannerism is cute in an endearing sort of way, but not one's looks.

Folks are always telling me how small or thin I am...I'm 5'4.. Plus many say my voice on the phone makes me sound like I would be very tall ....

Maybe you're cuddly? Don't worry about it. It's a good thing.

My cousin 4"8 and called everything you can imagine. She laughs at it and uses it for her advantage.

Even though the person is saying this with good intentions and means well to the person on the receiving end it's annoying and irritating.

Everyone wants to be seen as the whole person they are

Perhaps people need to stop and think for a moment before they speak.
