    I don't know if anyone has mentioned this to you yet, but 5'5" is not short.

    According to the CDC's report on Anthropometrics in Childen and Adults, the average height of a female in the United States is 5'4", making a 5'5" woman actually on the taller side of average-- certainly in no way a "short girl." Globally, the average height for a woman is 5'3.

    For more infomation on recent human anthropometrics, you can check out this CDC report. www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/bodymeas.htm


    I'm sorry, but that's not really the point of the thread. The point was to find girls with similar heights and get connected. I said short simply because among the people that I see everyday I am one of the shortest.

    So... the title of the thread has nothing to do with the point of the thread and also shouldn't have to be accurate?

    That's odd.

    I mean, I fully understand your position.

    But still. Rather odd.

    I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to accomplish?

    At first I was trying to accomplish being informative.

    Now, however, I can see that I am not accomplishing anything.

    Good luck with the "short" girls.

    I found it informative. I thought average height for women was 5'5-5'6. The more you know!! Thanks for the info! :smile:

    Holy my God, so now you are telling my I am no longer special and "petite" as per my height but just "average". What next? Are you gonna wash my sluts in the laundry and then tell me I can't say sluts?
