    wow see i think 6'5" is too tall even for guys! lol of course i'm short soo, it might be because i can't reach them! I'm only 5'2.5" but ideally i think maybe 5'6"...

    I have to say that I am perfectly happy at 5'5''! Now I just need to focus on getting more of this weight off some I'm better proportioned. Soon!

    I'm 5' 2 and a half". I want to be 4' 11".

    I have an obsession with freakishly tall men and that would help. XD Also, being short rules!

    Yay girlypop.

    At 5'8" there is hope for me :D

    I'm pretty happy with my height. The tallest I'd ever want to be is 6'

    I'm only 5' 1.5" and I am happy with my overall height.

    I am NOT happy with my leg to torso ratio, however. My legs are so SHORT! Sure, I could "fix" it by wearing super tall high heels, except I can't wear them without tripping all over the place...

    I'm 5'11, and have a love/hate relationship w/ my height. Some days, I would give anything to be 3-4 inches shorter. I get tired of towering over all the women and most of the men I work with...would like to know what it feels like to be "normal", whatever that is...LOL.

    I'm 5'7" barefoot which is a perfect height for a woman, but I wear heels each and every day so I technically I am 6"

    I'd like to lose 3 inches, so I could be 6 foot in heels, not 6 foot barefoot!

    I'm not overweight, I'm undertall. I'd like to be 6'4". I was 6'2" when I was 19, now at 49 I', 6'1/2". I'm vertically challenged and horizontially overstated. :-):bigsmile:

    I like my ideal height to be 5'9! Which is the height I already am.... Just want a guy to like my height! They think I am TOO tall and they are already super tall.....I just get tired of hearing, "Your really tall"..... lol

    According to the charts, I'm not too fat--just too short! I should be 9'6" tall! Seriously, I am 6'2". Or 6'3", if you ask my wife. Whatever it is, I'm already delighted with it.

    I'm 5'10" and would love to be 5'7." Then I could wear heels without towering over my boyfriend and find clothes easier.

    I'm 5'8" and would like to be 6'1" or 6'2". Of course, my wife is 5'2" so my height works out ok there.

    I'm 5'8" but the docs predicted I would be 6' like my maternal grandmother. They were wrong. I would LOVE to be 6'!

    I'm 6' and LOVE IT! Put a hot pair of heels on me, and I'm fine towering over whoever, because I know I look good in them!

    I wouldn't mind being an inch or 2 shorter. No less than 5'6" though. No taller than 5'9". Okay actually I like my height. I finally reached a point where I'm not insecure about it, so my ideal height is my current one.:happy:
