Height Pros/Cons

I'm 5'5''!
Pros:
-I rarely have to deal with clothing that's too short on me.
-I can wear 5" heels and still be shorter than my fella (which I like).
-I'm pretty "Average." My height is not something about me that stands out. And sometimes you just don't want to stand out.
Cons:
-I think a lot of great clothing looks ace on taller women. See: high waist jeans, maxi skirts, flowy tops, tea-length anything. Heels definitely help but sometimes, your feet just don't want 'em.
-Gotta lose more weight to notice a difference. I thought I'd be happy at 135 lbs and really wasn't - even though it's in the middle of my acceptable weight range for my height.
Honestly, I feel my 'best' if I'm wearing heels... but I think it's less to do with how I feel about my height and more how you carry yourself. It takes a special balance

5' 8" here.
To be honest, it's not something I ever gave much thought to. I'm pretty comfortable in my own skin.
Pros: It probably helped keep my noggin relatively dent-free while serving on submarines and it makes it pretty easy to get in and out of my Porsche.
Cons: Apparently, it is a big deal to a lot of people.0 -
oh another thing- I'm 5'4" and my fiance is around 5'7-5'8" and it doesn't bother me at all 0

im 5'4
so id say its pro i like tall but not too tall just tall enough he can throw me around lmao :laugh:
and maybe pro again on women i like pettie women i ususally throw them around also ... :devil:
con - its hard for me to find skinny jeans,pants that are shorter inseam , also if i gain a bit look heavy cause im short and big boobies :noway:0 -
I am 5'8" with a small frame.
Pros - I love my long legs, I play volleyball and have good "ups", my pants always fit perfectly for length, I can weigh more and wear a small size.
Cons - I "heart" heals but don't like being taller than my husband, I don't feel dainty, I always wanted to be "pocket sized"0 -
I'm 5'2.
Con - If I gain 5 pounds it shows. I don't fit into most clothes unless they are for juniors so it makes me look a lot younger than I really am.
Pro - I can date almost any guy. Most guys are taller than me so it works.
I really wish I was taller

I'm 5'8 and my husband is 6'4. I could wear 7" heels if I wanted to (ha!), but we like being tall. It makes us feel more intimidating... we get to look down at a lot of people.
... Is that mean to say? Lol.0 -
Im 5'10 barefoot.
The cons -
almost every man I meet is face level with my tits, and since they are awesome, I just wont be able to get his attention. Plus I never feel safe when Im with someone smaller than me, and I like to feel safe with my significant other, not like I will have to be the one protecting them and always big spoon.
I cant really walk into a place unnoticed or blend in
I get "Amazon" a lot, which hurts to hear because it sounds so huge and aggressive and oversized.
When you tell people how much you weigh, even if you are fit, they balk. A hundred and seventy what????
Pros
When a man can pick you up and toss you around, its a testament to his awesome strength, because he'll need it to be able to do that
I cant really walk into a place unnoticed or blend in
As a simple machine, I have advantages
I have legs for days
I can weigh 170 pounds and wear very little clothing.0 -

Cons: I can gain 10 lbs of muscle and it doesn't look like much
6'0", absolutely!
Other Pro: People notice you as soon as you enter the room. Good when I'm feeling sexy!
Other Con: People notice you as soon as you enter the room. Bad when I'm feeling blah!0 -
When I hear "Amazon" I think tall, confident, self-sufficient, sure-as-hell-ain't-dainty-but-still-SEXY-AS-HELL, strong but still feminine. But maybe I'm strange.I get "Amazon" a lot, which hurts to hear because it sounds so huge and aggressive and oversized.

Pros: I can reach things without a ladder. Changing lightbulbs is way easier. I like feeling tall and strong.
