Honestly, is 5'4 considered short on a girl?

I'm 5'4. I'm not worried, self conscious, or embarrassed about it. I'm fine with it and my height's out of my control anyway.
I was just curious of you would consider it short. I don't want any sugar coating. I just want your personal opinion.

Heck no! You're taller than over half of the other women. Hell, I'm 5'3" and a guy. I would love to be one inch taller.

I notice you furiously bumped this ancient thread FOUR times. Is someone looking for a short girl love connection or what?!

I am 5'1" and I say I am not short I am fun size. I would love to be a little taller. It is so hard to find pants that fit right even the petites are to long. And I can never reach anything. And no chair is made for short people. But on the bright side I never have to duck my head. So I would say you are average.

I can't stand when I sit in a booth or chair and my feet swing. :noway:

I feel this way about toilets.

I'm 5'2, and smaller than everyone I know, except for my daughter who is about 5'1....and except for anyone under 13. I'm short. Fun sized, if you will!

Not to me! I stand right under 5' so that's pretty tall in my view! ;p

No, doofus. The Internet was going slow, and I was trying to get the damn thing to post, so I kept clicking, and it ended up posting it multiple times. I couldn't find an option to delete (which all forums should have). I never even said that I wanted a "short girl".

I am 5'3" and I've never seemed noticeably short. Certainly not "tall" but I think 5'4" is pretty standard.

I don't think that's short for a female, it certainly is for a male. I say that as an actual 5'4 male by the way, it's nice being short because when I squat I haven't got as far to go to get back upright as taller people have. But on the downside whenever I've tried my hand at dating sites being short is apparently off putting to women, even short ones because everyone's after the tall dark handsome stranger. But everyone loves Hobbits, right? I'll get myself some plastic pointy ears and I'll be like those men on the lynx adverts when they spray themselves and have to run away from all of the women. Sorted.

Yeah- I know. Just teasing you for bumping an ancient thread- from 2014; Internet is running really, really slow for you. "Doofus" hasn't been spoken in quite a while. Nice job kicking it old school!

There seems to be a consensus here that 5'4" is no less than "average" for a woman, and actually just a bit on the taller side. I agree.

You can say that again!

FitGirl0123

For a female I would consider it about average. I'm 5'2 and consider myself short lol

Did I ask you that?

Tialuna18

It's all in regards to perspective. I'm 5'5 and compared to women generally I find I'm average height but ask my boyfriend who's 6'3 and I'm "really short"

dkingdom1

I'm 5"4 and considered short in comparison to my family, but I tell them that if they think I'm short, then what about the girls under the midget line (5"0)? Lol I don't like to consider myself as short, but others think "I will be a short mommy". I guess they don't realize the fact that there are quite a few people shorter and taller than me. My parents are not even that tall either- they, and my older brother, are both 5"8-5"9. The only really tall one (will be) my little brother who is already around this height, 15 years old, and hasn't stopped growing yet. There is also a good chance that my two younger siblings will end up taller than me too. Doesn't help that I am the thicker one in my family either.

I'm shorter and fine with it. The world is filled with cultures where your height is perfect, too tall and too short. I just see mammals living

Justin7883

I'm 6'2" most everything is short.

_John_

thanks to height descrimination, 5'4" being well below average males is desirable for heterosexual women

shadows2424

5'24 is the average. I think 5'2 and lower is considerd short.

TheRoadDog

I have a gal friend who is 6'4". She married a man who was 6'10". They had a house built. Everything was built for their height. My wife and I visited them recently. My wife is 5'4". We had driven 18 hours and my wife wanted to shower when we got there. We hadn't unpacked yet. Denise, my 6'4" friend, told my wife that there was shampoo and such in the shower and she didn't need to dig it out of our bags. So my wife went to shower without her own toiletries. Later, when we were alone, my wife told me that all their toiletries were on the windowsill in the shower and she couldn't reach them. She also joked that by the time the water got from the 7 1/2 foot high shower head to her it was a mist.

This tread reminded me of a story from the 80's.

This not a widely known fact, mainly because of the little-known popularity of the celebrity involved. You have to have attained a certain age to remember "Tatoo", the short person on the TV series, "Fantasy Island", with Ricardo Montelban and Herve Villechaize.

You remember........."The Plane, Boss, The Plane " !!!

OK. It seems before Herve's passing, he established an entire neighborhood of fully furnished, high dollar, condominiums in Florida's Dade County. These condo's were explicitly designed for persons Herve's size. Everything was miniaturized down to the last detail.

The benefactor, (Herve), provided this community of some 150 condo's expressly for "The Little People" to have a free haven for the gathering and support of each other in a completely 'No-Rent', 'No Mortgage' environment!

This totally unselfish gesture was not highly publicized. But, it was recently uncovered that the advertisement for taking over ownership of one of the condo's was first spotted on aisle 6 of the HABA section in the grocery store, and billed as.....................

Stay-Free Mini Pads !

I'm about 5'1" which is a just a smidge too short for me according to the BMI chart.
