    5'10 and love every bit of it. It worked for all of the sports I was involved in. Didn't bother me to stand out bc of it but I did prefer to date men my height or taller.

    I wish I could change my height for the situation.

    I am 183cm or there abouts.

    So I can touch stuff on shelves or the ceiling.

    But it seems a lot of things like sinks are designed for someone who is 5ft tall cause to wash up dishes or put a plug in the sink it requires I bend, which can get annoying if your washing dishes for 20 mins.

    Unless I have some bone breaking surgery and get them suckers stretched out, then it is what it is. Not super short, but I would be ok with it if I was a bit taller.

    I think I'm okay with my height now (it's pretty average at 5'7"). It does make me a bit tall for some men, but most I have found don't mind if they are one or two inches shorter than I am. Really, I enjoy my height because it makes my being overweight slightly more acceptable than if I was say.. 5'3". I.E. I can get away with people not noticing as much when I'm more than a little overweight, lol.

    The only thing I dislike is that I'm mostly legs (which sounds awesome until you realize that jeans are not cut for that length). I have a 33 inch inseam, which means I have to alter 34 (long) jeans and pants to make them fit. Otherwise they drag the ground or I have to wear heels all the time (which is not really an option).

    I like my height. I'm 5' 2.5". I do wish I could eat more & not gain. I also wish buying clothes was easier. I don't wear petite clothes. My legs are long for my height, my torso is really short, my hips are wide, & my chest is disproportionately large. I have to try on everything. I think that everyone has clothing challenges though.

    I am good at climbing on counters & have been known to step up onto the shelves at the grocery store. I will often find something to knock what I need down off the shelf, rather than ask someone to get it for me. It's embarrassing. I like the grocery shelves that are wire, so I can reach the bottom of the package & scoot it off the edge. Luckily, my children have all gotten taller than me & I can drag one of them along if I know I am buying something on the top shelf (cat litter, grrr). My 12 year old has recently outgrown me. He was very excited.

    I don't actually want to be taller--just to be able to eat more :) . The only experience I have of being bigger than my husband was when I outweighed him. Even though he's 5' 10", quite a bit taller than me, I felt very unfeminine. I don't think I would have the confidence to pull off being really tall.

    I'm 46 now (so too old for nonsense), but even when I was younger, nobody ever picked me up or put their hands on the top of my head, or tried to keep things away from me. I must give off a good "don't touch me" vibe & I think I also have a touch of resting *kitten* face. Or maybe more than a touch >:) .
