    I’m ok with 6’6”, but the 17 shoes are hard to find.

    5’1”. On the negative side, it’s hard to reach stuff. On the plus side, it’s made me a good climber. Another negative is that if I gain 10lbs it’s like someone a foot taller gaining 50lbs. It really really shows. On the plus, losing 10lbs shows more, too. Another plus is I don’t really have to worry about dating a man shorter than me (I actually prefer “shorter” men; they aren’t short to me!) Also jeans don’t fit and that sucks. Almost always too long...and when hemmed they can look weird. Forget capris. Capris are weird looking full length jeans on me. Long shirts are dresses. I feel like I’m sitting in a bucket if I drive a big truck.

    5'10 and love every bit of it. It worked for all of the sports I was involved in. Didn't bother me to stand out bc of it but I did prefer to date men my height or taller.

    I wish I could change my height for the situation.

    I am 183cm or there abouts.

    So I can touch stuff on shelves or the ceiling.

    But it seems a lot of things like sinks are designed for someone who is 5ft tall cause to wash up dishes or put a plug in the sink it requires I bend, which can get annoying if your washing dishes for 20 mins.

    Unless I have some bone breaking surgery and get them suckers stretched out, then it is what it is. Not super short, but I would be ok with it if I was a bit taller.

    I think I'm okay with my height now (it's pretty average at 5'7"). It does make me a bit tall for some men, but most I have found don't mind if they are one or two inches shorter than I am. Really, I enjoy my height because it makes my being overweight slightly more acceptable than if I was say.. 5'3". I.E. I can get away with people not noticing as much when I'm more than a little overweight, lol.

    The only thing I dislike is that I'm mostly legs (which sounds awesome until you realize that jeans are not cut for that length). I have a 33 inch inseam, which means I have to alter 34 (long) jeans and pants to make them fit. Otherwise they drag the ground or I have to wear heels all the time (which is not really an option).

    I like my height. I'm 5' 2.5". I do wish I could eat more & not gain. I also wish buying clothes was easier. I don't wear petite clothes. My legs are long for my height, my torso is really short, my hips are wide, & my chest is disproportionately large. I have to try on everything. I think that everyone has clothing challenges though.

    I am good at climbing on counters & have been known to step up onto the shelves at the grocery store. I will often find something to knock what I need down off the shelf, rather than ask someone to get it for me. It's embarrassing. I like the grocery shelves that are wire, so I can reach the bottom of the package & scoot it off the edge. Luckily, my children have all gotten taller than me & I can drag one of them along if I know I am buying something on the top shelf (cat litter, grrr). My 12 year old has recently outgrown me. He was very excited.

    I don't actually want to be taller--just to be able to eat more :) . The only experience I have of being bigger than my husband was when I outweighed him. Even though he's 5' 10", quite a bit taller than me, I felt very unfeminine. I don't think I would have the confidence to pull off being really tall.

    I'm 46 now (so too old for nonsense), but even when I was younger, nobody ever picked me up or put their hands on the top of my head, or tried to keep things away from me. I must give off a good "don't touch me" vibe & I think I also have a touch of resting *kitten* face. Or maybe more than a touch >:) .
