  • I’m perfectly pleased being 5’3. They make shoes for height.

    Oh, don't get me started on shoes!!! I'm one size off from not fitting womens shoes at all, and the pretty shoes in my size are usually sold out! Good thing I can't afford them anyway... hopefully I'll lose a size or two when I get to my goal weight (got like 135lbs to lose, so who knows?).

    Are you a size 5? I’m a 5.5 in some brands and it’s like they don’t even exist

    It doesnt help with dressier stuff BUT this means you can get cheaper sneakers in the kids section!

    I'm 5'4.5". Wish I was half an inch taller because I always have to round up, lol! (another reason why metric is better IMO).

    I wish I was taller so I could eat more and yeah, reach the top shelves at the store, but really, I never have to touch up clothes because everything fits me length wise, so the trade off is worth it.

    I’m sneaker adverse. Hence the name.

    Give it a few years... stilettos might just become available in the kids section.

    I am 165 cm, so around 5'5? Perfectly fine, I wouldn't change it if I could.

    I'm happy at 5'7". My fiance is 6'3" so I definitely wouldn't want to be any shorter - I already have to crane my neck to kiss him. 5'7" seems like a pretty standard height for women so it's very easy to shop for clothes, which is a nice bonus.

    5’2. I can’t reach anything! I constantly need to ask for help at the grocery store, and I keep a step stool in most of the rooms in my house.

    I am 5'8" and have always always loved being somewhat tall. I was 5'6" as a child so I really expected to be six feet as an adult but stopped growing at 13. I wouldn't even have minded that, honestly (being super tall). I feel like with most men I'm right around their height or shorter.

    Hey, at least we get a discount at the bingo hall and get to play chess in the park now and not look weird. Also, it was just a "social experiment".

    Ah, I quit reading once I got caught up in my own mortality. Was that the story?
    I was personally looking forward to the early bird specials.

    I wish I were 7 feet tall, then my BMI would be normal.

    I'm perfectly okay being 5 feet tall except when I gain some weight and look like a baby walrus. :D

    -Would you rather be the same height you are now, taller or shorter? why?
    -Has your height ever given you negative feelings?
    .

    When I was young my height frustrated me more and I did feel negatively about it. I was always the shortest in my family and had many experiences of people holding things out of reach because it was funny to them. I remember not being able to see in tbe bathroom mirror for a long time or be able to reach the pull chain on the lights without standing on something. I had to sit on everyone's coats in the movie theater to see the screen. I would get frustrated at tall people walking in front of me because I could not see around them. I never felt more attractive or feminine for being smaller. I didn't know any guys shorter than me.
    Being smaller I usually got a bad seat in the car. Having to practically run to keep up with people with longer legs.

    I ended up at 5'4". I am mostly okay with my height. I married someone a few inches taller than me and it is nice being near the same height. I have a step ladder I use almost daily in my kitchen. Pants are often a bit too long if I don't get the petite size or alter them. It is annoying when children are suddenly taller than me... I enjoy being taller for a few years.
    I do not wear high heels.

    I'm almost 6'1", have always wished I got to 6'3" or 6'4", no taller than that though.
