    I not once, ever, wanted to be anything other than what I am....4 feet 11 1/2 inches. I have never run into any problems with my height, I can scale anything to reach whatever I need. I have always made it a point to not ask for help or depend on others. And, I kid you not, my husband is 6feet 7 inches. Really! I can scale him up and down pretty well also,lol.:devil:

    I'm 4'9". I really don't mind it at all. The only inconvenient thing is the top shelf at a grocery store. I just go hunt down a tall person and I'm good to go

    I'm 5'9.5" and as a teenager I always wished I was petite. Now? I'll happily throw on heels that push me to 6'2" and I love it. Tall is sexy, even though I never thought it could be.

    Only when I am shopping. I'm a little under 5'3", so anything that's not from the petite department is going to ned to be altered.

    I've been 5'10" my whole adult life, just found recently that I've lost 1/2" somewhere.
    I'd really like to be about 5'6" or 5'7" so I wouldn't have to buy tall clothes!
    Try finding fat tall clothes! :mad:
    Heck, try finding tall clothes in average sizes. Still pay way more.
    I'd like to be able to walk into any store I choose & know that I can find something that fits. That goes for height as well as girth.

    Or heck, if I'm going to be tall I want to stand out, so make me 6' to 6'2".

    I'd like to be 6'9" so I wouldn't have to lose weight to be in the "normal" range...:laugh:

    As long as you don't have hairy feet, you'll never be mistaken for a hobbit lol

    Sometimes I wish I was just a few inches shorter. So that my fiance wouldn't feel so bad about being the same height. xD

    I'm 5'1 and love being short, ideally I'd only change my body proportions so my torso was a little shorter and legs longer :D
