    If I could have chosen to be taller, I would've. Being a 5'8 dude feels a little short sometimes, but at least I'm compact and can fit into any car I want

    I'm 6'3 and most of the time I do. Clothing can be difficult at times. I never cared about what I wore in the past, as long as it fits. This was when 5-6XL was my only choice in shirts. Now that I've lost tons of weight, I am starting to care about how I dress. Sure there's Big & Tall selections for guys but it isn't always the best selection.

    Sometimes I like it cos you get away with more when you are small as people think you are cute lol.

    But I hate it when I am at a concert, cinema or a show and I get stuck behind someone tall and can't see a thing except their head and also hate that I don't get as many cals as tall people lol. Not being able to reach high up stuff is a bit annoying too :grumble:

    I'm 5'2". I poke fun at my own height sometimes, but I don't hate it. Being short makes it more visually obvious when I'm losing weight. :drinker: :bigsmile:

    NO! I used to think it was cute, but now im 28, 5'2 just makes me feel dumpy and unglamourous! ! !

    Hence why I want to lost 10 pounds! !

    yep love my height, I'm 5ft8. I feel like a short-*kitten* today for some reason. Thankfully being that bit taller, I can carry my extra weight really well. You'd never guess I weigh what I do!!! He he

    No. I wish I was 5'8. Especially since I usually end up dating tall men. Dumb move on my part, they just make me look shorter. :laugh:

    5'7 and perfectly content at that height, although some day's it would be handy being slighty taller! .:smile:

    I'm 6ft1, and I love my height now - to the point where I refuse to shy away from skyscraper heels.
    When I was younger I really hated being tall, I used to slouch my shoulders when I walked and HATED standing out amongst the crowd.
    I just think now, whatever height you are - you've got to own it :)

    ultimately YES! I'm 5ft 10 so I do love being tall, the only downside is that my boyfriend is 5ft 10 also so when I wear heels I tower over him.. he doesn't mind at all though which gives me confidence to wear heels :) xxx :smooched:

    I'm 5ft 4, and i would love to be a couple of inches taller! However, i know that is never going to happy, so i've learnt to be happy with my height. I would much rather be short than too tall. Plus it makes it easier to do the whole 'small and cute' thing :p

    Yes. I'm a 5' 11" man with no shoes on. I love it when people tell me they are 6 feet, and they are shorter than me.:laugh:

    Yes, I am 5'8. I like being taller than average and I love having a long torso.

    But when I was younger I hated that if I wore big heels, I would be towering over all my friends.

    No way! lol...5'7" for a guy sucks. I don't wanna be fit at 165 pounds...would prefer 200 pounds!

    I don't usually think about it, but being 4'11 " has its challenges. If I were a few inches taller, I would be at a perfect weight! Anyhow, it's not something I can change, so I don't really give it much thought.

    5'7 is fine for a girl but I would love to be 3 inches taller.

    I'm a 5'0" 25 year old male... do you think I like my height? :P

    If I wear boots I'm 5'1", and if I put in some shoe lifts I'm around 5'4". Still short. -_-

    I'm 5' 6.5" and I'm generally content with it. People often think I'm taller than I really am.

    Yes but I wish I was about 2 inches shorter in my torso.
