    6'4". Mostly the same as undergloom’s comments, except I occasionally worry about low-hanging light fixtures. I like my height except when I am talking to people who are taller than I am. :o

    5'8" doesn't stink. But 6 foot would make my current weight more palatable.

    I'm 5'5" and wouldn't mind being a little taller.

    But what I wonder is why all the really short women end up with the really tall guys. Whenever I see a guy who's 6'1" with a girlfriend who's 5'1" I can't help but think, "SERIOUSLY, DUDE! SAVE THE SHORT WOMEN FOR THE SHORTER GUYS!"

    This made me giggle, My hubby is 6'2 and I'm 5'3

    I'm 5'0 and my husband is 6'4

    I'd love to be taller... Even just 2 inches would be awesome.

    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.

    Lucky I have to climb shelves to reach my cookie jar

    We're trying! We can't help it if most of us don't "measure up" to your standards.

    I like being 5'9", but sometimes I wish the men were taller. :smile:

    Either you like being tall, or you want most men to be taller than you. You can't have it both ways.

    5'5" is tall with Asians, BUT at my church (Korean) there seem to be a lot more tall Koreans than there was in the past. My wife is Korean, she's 5'4", we took a pic together at a wedding last week and when she saw it she said "I'm short!" My son said "You just figured this out? You're Korean!" lol

    I'm 6'1" and happy with my height

    Yeah Koreans and Chinese tend to have the tall genes I'm half Chinese so that probably where I get my height

    Mostly I'm happy at my 5' 0.5" but sometimes it would be really handy to grow a few inches...like when I want to get served at a bar or when I can't reach the top shelves in the supermarket!

    I'm 5'1, and it really dawned on me today, I'd actually love to be 5'4, petite but just right.

    Coming from a girl who is 5'4", I love my height. However, I am about an inch too tall for petite clothes and regular clothes are always too long on me unless I hem them or wear heels. So if you find that genie, you might go for 5'3" or 5'5" :wink:

    But, I'm 5' 0.5" and petite trousers are often too short on me! It all depends on your proportions, I have a really short body (no waist :neutral:) and slightly less than average leg length.

    I am happy with my height, about 5'4". I can wear flats and heels up to 6 inches without worrying about being taller than the guys. Men in my country aren't that tall. It's a different story when I go to other countries though.

    Getting stuff from top cabinets is a pain, yes. But nothing a trusty step ladder can't fix.
