Height Pros/Cons

im 6'5

Pros-
People automatically will follow you and you get to assume leadership without actually demonstrating such qualities.
IT helps when playing sports.
Chicks dig it.
Its rare that people will want to fight you

Cons-
Its hard to buy clothes (even know in relatively decent shape its hard to find clothes that fit 6'5 257)
You always feel like you "stick out" for the wrong reasons
being called "big guy"

5'9"

Pros: wearing weight well

Cons: not being petite and cute, not being able to wear tall heels

I don't like my height. I want to be more average 5'5 would be great. At 4'10 every pound is like 5lbs to another, I guess. It's always been a down fall for me.

oh and I always get called cute, shorty ect. Lots of short jokes. It's hard to find bottoms.

5'9" these days.... Never fear folks, you start to shrink after 50 ish!! I still mourn the loss of my 3/4".

Pro: Can hold my weight well
Con: None for me.

I'm 5'0". Yes, 5 feet tall.

Cons: I can't reach things, nobody wants to date a borderline midget, I'm even shorter than most women. Sigh.

Pros: I'm as they say "fun-sized."

I'm 6'0" tall and have been since the 8th grade. there are no cons, it's only pros. some guys don't like tall women, but that's their con, not mine! :bigsmile:

5'10

Pros: I can reach the top shelf at department stores.... everyone automatically assumes i am athletic... everyone says "you look skinny" when you are actually 10 lbs overweight

Cons: have to sit awkwardly in a car... forget trying to sit across from someone at dinner unless u like knocking knees... back problems and you cant wear heels around your other average sized girlfriends LOL

5'5"

Pro: I am not asked to get things of the top shelf
Con: The top shelf is where they keep the good stuffs :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

To be honest, I don't care ether way about my height. If someone isn't going to like me because of that; it is their problem not mine... same with weight(though working on this one for myself... and to surprise someone)

I'm 6'3

Pros: Like someone said before, people automatically choose you as the leader

Cons: It takes more time to look "jacked"

I'm completely average at 5'7" My only issue is its all in the torso, not in the legs.

Pros, I seem to do okay holding my weight. I can wear heals fine, but prefer Nike's.

Cons- I can see most guy's nose hairs... nasty. I have no legs so I have to pull the seat almost all the way forward in every car. I still can't reach the tall shelf in the grocery store or cabinet at home. I seem to have midget children now.

To clarify as a guy there is no pro to being shorter....Only cons. Unless you are SO tall you look like a freak of nature next to most women. As in You Ming 7'7 tall.

Exactly!

As a guy, you want to be a minimum of 6'0".

I am just below that, and while I am taller than most women, there are still women (about 5% of the population) that will deem my height insufficient. I tend to focus my efforts on women 5'7" and under for this reason.

Actually, anything between 5'10" and 6'4" works for me. I'm 5'4", so as long as they're at least 6" taller than me, I'm good. In some cases, 6'5"-6'6" is nice if he has enough meat on his bones to offset the height.

I'm 4ft 11.5 inches.

Pros:
My husband gives me piggyback rides and carries me easily:)
Short people have little feet, so we can always find shoes our size
Hide and seek was always fun fitting into anything
I can always find pants, sometimes to long but one roll up will do it
Everyone thinks your cute lol



Cons:
Can't reach a damn thing
short jokes
when you gain weight you look really chubby
It took me a long time to get to this height, so before I couldn't ride a lot of rides
slow at running(for me anyways) I have more torso then legs

6'2"

Pro - The air is fresher up here

Con - I frequently bump my head on lights that hang down to 6' and it hurts like heck

I'm 5'3.5"

Pros:
I can meld into a crowd better than my tall friends
I can enjoy spending time with kids on their level
My weight distributes well because people always underestimate my weight. (not sure if this is because of my height or my build)
I'm nearly always the shorter person in a relationship (I like my partner taller than me)
If I trip and fall (and I do, I'm accident prone) the ground isn't as far away!
I never have to worry about being too tall to do XYZ or having to duck when entering a lowish entrance. Pretty sure I've never been too short for something either.
I personally view myself as more feminine because I'm short (not that I will ever say that someone else is less feminine because they are considered tall)

Neither pro nor con:
I am often viewed as being younger than my biological age because of my height. Getting carded - great. Being treated as if I'm immature/unintelligent/should still be in high school - not so much.

Cons:
My family of 5'9" + people have a bigger wingspan than me and I regularly lose at keep away.
Sometimes I wish I could look more people in the eyes rather than having them look down at me or have to look up to see faces
Stepladder to reach things in the top cupboards in my kitchen. Sigh. Keep away game once again. My family lovingly tease me about needing a ladder/chair to get things.

5’10” Well…I would have to say all Pros for me  I use to have cons when I was a teenager because in high school all the short boys liked me and the tall boys liked the short girls ~ Strange ~ but I am over it ~ my husband who is 5’8” he loves it that I wear my 3 or 4 inch heels when we go out!! If it does not bother him then it does not bother me ~
