    I'm 5-11 (or 6-0 depending on the convenience store).

    I'd kill to be 6-3

    I'm 6'11", I'd give away 4" to be 6'7". It think life might be a little easier at that height.

    Why?

    I'm 5'9" and every once in awhile, I wish I were just a hair shorter. When I was in middle/high school, OMG did I wish to be shorter...

    ... now, I'm good with it. I'm tall, I'm strong, I'm awesome, get with that or GTFO. ;)

    I wish i was taller.. really gives me a disadvantage on weight ..

    Same here. A 4'7" frame shouldn't weigh a lot.

    Oh! You're not a tall enough woman? I am offended by you wanting to be taller.

    I'm 5'4". I don't really mind my height, I wouldnt want to be taller though. I think short girls are so cute! So I wouldn't actually mind being a little shorter. lol.

    I'm not quite 5 foot tall (4'11 and 3/4 inches on a good day) but have gotten so used to being short after these 50 years I really have no want to be taller. Longer arms would come in handy sometimes but on this height challenged body, that would look really weird! ;)

    I definitely look taller as I was blessed with long legs! :smiley:

    I'm 5'4 but I feel 6'0. People always seem to remember me as taller than I actually am, I find it amusing but kinda cool. Its all about presence.

    5'7.75". I always wanted to be Jimmy Dean's "Big Bad John" who stood 6'6", weighed 245, kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip....

    I am a 5'10" woman.

    When I was really overweight, I didn't like it. Now I am 166 (BMI 23.8) with 10 lbs left to lose.

    Now I have a 6'7" partner and I rock the *kitten* out of 3" heels. I Love being 6'1" woman :):):)

    I don't mind my height until I get to a concert and then it's a pain. I'd like my legs to be longer as I have a 28" inside leg and petite clothes are 29" inside leg.

    No, though it would be nice to be able to reach things on the top shelf.

    I am a little under 5'3" and don't mind my height...except when my clothes need alterations. And sometimes I worry about the day when I am no longer nimble enough to climb up on my countertops to get things off the high shelves of the tall cabinets.

    6'0" here. It's a good height; I can reach stuff on upper shelves, yet don't have to worry about injuring myself on doorways or ceiling fans.
