    I am 5’ 10” and I love it! I wear heels

    A kindred spirit

    How do you all get that kind of confidence?

    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.

    Another pro, no when can tell when you start balding.

    Nice. Good addition.

    Hmm... wait. Now this concerns me. :#

    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.
