    I'm 5'2"

    Pros: - I'm pocket-sized.
    - People find me cute. Ha!
    - People think I look way younger than I really am (especially sans makeup)

    Cons: - Everytime I buy jeans or maxi dresses, I need to the tailor to have them shortened.
    - Every lb. I gain shows!
    - I look like a cocktail sausage in skinny jeans.

    As someone of an average height, I've never understood this overwhelming insecurity many especially tall and short people have.

    Someone can throw a potato sack on me and take me hostage.

    Too true :laugh:

    5'4"

    Pro-
    I can wear heels and *still* be shorter than most people.
    Falling isn't nearly as bad since I'm already closer to the ground.

    Con-
    Even standing on something there are things I still can't reach.

    5'6"

    Pro - It's a nice average height!

    Con - My bf is only 5'7" or so. I wouldn't mind being a bit shorter just so I can get the "I'm tiny" feeling!

    4" 10 1/2"

    Pros: I love my height. I'm different. I stand out. I'm cute. I fit in very small places.

    Cons: I can't reach anything and have to climb the shelves at grocery stores. Men try to lift me. I HATE that.

    5'11 and change--

    Pro's - I did play basketball and volleyball (still do)

    Con's - Finding a man who appreciates a tall woman :( , clothes that are long enough (not that the fact that my *kitten* needs a bigger size than my waist dictates isn't an issue in itself, lol), bumping my head or accidentily putting my hand in the ceiling fan when stretching or doing jumping jacks. Riding in a small car, long legs makes it very uncomfortable and very funny looking.

    5'5"

    Pros: Not too short, not too tall, gaining weight isn't noticeable (people think I'm 20-30lbs lighter than I actually am), weight loss is noticeable.

    Cons: Sometimes I feel like I'm too tall because there are a lot of short people around where I live, I always wanted to be small and petite.
    Honestly, I know I'm really not that tall. There are no negatives to my height.

    I'm 5'3

    Pros....I can rock 5 1/2 inch stilettos every day and look cute. I can date tall AND short guys.

    Cons...It sucks finding pants to fit length wise and capri's are not capri's on me. They are just regular pants.

    I like being short!!! :happy:
