    I am just a smidge under 6'3. Throw on some thick socks, I am 6'3, add shoes and I become 6'4. I am happy for the most part. Clothing used to be such a hassle when I was heavier but with the weight loss I've had the past few years, it's not as bad now.

    I'm 5'6" which makes me on the short side for a Dutch person but I'm considered tall anywhere else in the world. I wouldn't mind beind a little shorter, 5'4" or so :)

    I'm 5"8 and always wear heels. Most of the time my height doesn't bother me but sometimes when there's a teeny tiny woman who is both small and thin I feel like a giant. I felt like that a lot when I was a teenager because I was the first of my friends to grow into my adult height.

    I'm 5'8" it's ok... but if I was shorter I could wear heels and not be a skyscraper :joy:<3

    I'm 5'11, Id love to be 6'0 just to round it out, but then I'd be even scarier to dudes.

    5'10" which is pretty much the average male...I always wanted to hit 6' when I was younger.

    I'm 5' 3 and pretty happy with my height actually. The only time I get annoyed and wish I was a couple of inch taller is when jeans in certain shops are too long for me because they don't offer different leg lengths
  • I'm 6' 5". It took a long time to feel tall because I was a short kid. There are still times I see a big person on TV and think, "Wow, he's a tall drink of water... wait, so am I."

    I'm 6'1". Now that I'm older I love it, but I hated it growing up. I just had to get used to people looking at me all the time since I stand out. I even wear heels now. I can't change it, so now I own it.

    5'9". Am happy with it now, but when I was younger, I wanted to be a few inches shorter. Just so I could wear heals and still be shorter than my date.

    5'6 and fine with it, although I'd love to be taller sometimes. I'm a secondary school teacher and there are kids in year 7 (age 11/12) who tower above me!

    I'm 5'7, and both like and dislike my height. I like it because it means I can eat a little more/weigh a little more and still look good... but guys seem to go for girls 5'6 and under :/ also, I love heels, but I become taller than most people when I wear them which is annoying. I don't want to be a giant... but I wouldn't want to be any shorter than 5'5, either. I think 5'6 would be perfect but I'm not complaining at 5'7.

    "Hulking giant" at 5'6"? lol

    I'm 5' 9.5" and as an adult I love it (not so much as a teen). Heels put me well over 6', so naturally I wear them every chance I get. ;)
