    Love my height. 5'4". Not a super shorty but short enough for a 5'8" man to feel tall enough.

    Well, as someone 6'4" I'll give you pros and cons.

    Pro's:
    +Reach ability impressive
    +dust cannot hide upon refrigerator on cleaning day
    +can see over most people in crowds
    +more noticeable

    Cons:
    - head hits displays in stores
    - you see more road than sky while driving
    - difficulty buying clothing
    - people can see up your nostrils during conversation
    - more noticeable

    I'm 6'2" for some reason I've always wanted to be 6'4".

    According to my BMI chart, I'm too short...

    I am too short I used to be 5”5 now I am 5” 4 1/2. I have a long torso and short legs. I have a hard time on stairs because my legs are short especially on steps that are far apart. I always wanted longer legs and to be about 5”7’. My sister is 5”3 and has longer legs than I do. It makes me look heavier.

    I'm 5' 9.5". Took me a while to like my height as I didn't like to stand out when I was a teen. Also, I always seem to go straight for petite clothes and think they they look better. Like OP said I've never looked cute. Even when underweight I felt 'big' and I'll never be a size 6 or below. But there are so many positives to being tall that outweigh all that and lets face it, high heels are painful to wear (for me anyhow).

    My height is ok 5'10" but my proportions are all off. I only have a 30 inch inseam and just barely at that. So my body is disporotionately long compared to my legs. If I had more normal leg length, 34 inch say, than I'd be about 6'2". Clothes never look as good on my as they do on other people. I buy tall shirts so I have enough to tuck in but I'm not tall.
    Not the end of the world but since you asked....

    I hated being tall when I was in middle/high school but I love it now...I'm just shy of 6 ft & routinely wear heels...badass heels too <3<3
    I just don't give a *kitten* what other ppl think of me...I still get dumbass strangers that come up to me and say "wow, you're tall" & I just sarcastically feign ignorance..."what?? I am???" They get it then...I figure that's nicer than telling them, "wow, you're really (stupid/ugly/old/fat/whatever is applicable).

    Eh, I'll leave you super-confident sexy ladies with your harass heels. I'm 5'11" and would happily give 5 or 6 inches to someone else. You can have my heels... Along with my confidence... LOL

    I’m 5 ft 5 inches and I wish I could be 5 ft tall. I just want to look older but be shorter and thinner and have smaller hands.

    I'm 4"10. I like my height most of the time and it makes me stand out. The only reason I'd change it would be because I'm limited in the cars I can drive

    I'm 5'4". I wished I was tall when I was a kid, but that didn't happen. Since I can't change it, I don't really think about it one way or the other anymore. It is what it is.

    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.
