I’m a female and I’m 5’10". I love it, aside from clothing issues and airplane seats. Short people look kind of, well, odd, to me. Sorry shorties!
Hee hee hee! Well played.
It’s not a big deal in my life–there are a buttload of things I’d change about the universe before I got around to my height–but being 5’5" is moderately inconveniencing sometimes. I certainly don’t blame the majority of my miserably single years in college on my height, but at the same time I don’t think it helped. And being able to reach high shelves sure would be nice.
5’9" female. I love being tall-ish. 
I’m thinking the exact same thing, but from the other side. I’m 6’2" and totally cool with that. I’m right at the point where stuff is kind of a hassle - cars take consideration, my laundry routine includes a ‘stretch’ phase - but things aren’t too dire. Any higher, though, and there’d be an exponential increase in ‘grin-and-bear-it’ situations. In fact, I’d consider dropping to 6’1" just to fit a bit better into the world - but it’s kinda hard to drop back down. It’d be like Flowers for Algernon.
Female. I grew from 5’3 to 5’6 when I was 19 and I was really pleased. I went from below average height to slightly high average. That was nearly 30 years ago and young women are so tall these days! For that reason and because I have lost nearly an inch to age I voted that I would like to be taller, but just a bit as I wouldn’t want it to be even harder to find shoes. Incidentally I was chagrined to discover recently that in some shops I have to buy short fit jeans.
Male 5’ 7.5" Sure, sometimes it would be nice to be taller. The thing is though that I can be comfortable in any car, and in any airplane, movie theatre, whatever, and I’m not freakishly short. So, I kinda like where I am. Of course I’ll start shrinking in about 15 years, but don’t we all?
I am at that awkward age when my Dr tells me I am too short for my weight but I look in the mirror and see that I am too tall for my hair 
I’m too sexy for my shirt.
I am a 5’ 2.5" inch male. My lack of height is a defining characteristic in my life. My goal in life from when I was about 10 was to be a military pilot, with the ultimate aim of being an astronaut. I got straight “A”'s in High School, and played 2 varsity sports. I went to an elite private high school which puts at least 2 graduates into a military academy every year. Class of 2013 had 3. Cite:http://www.chaminade-hs.org/uploaded/Uploads/Class_of_2013_Destinations.pdf I applied to the AF Academy, and was told that 80% of attendees had to be flight qualified, and I was not due to my height, and didn’t make it. Tried ROTC, was told that the Navy had a hard limit, but it could be waived if certain body measurements were okay. Measurements didn’t work out, so I was told that there was no way I could fly in the Navy or Air Force. Much self-pity ensued, which led to failing out of college. I enlisted in the Navy, and enjoyed my 20 year career, but feel like I could have been so much more. To this day I know that people don’t treat me as serious as I deserve, but that is their loss.
tl/dr: Life hopes dashed due to being short, still causes problems. Hell no, I am not tall enough, I am 1.5 inches too short, but thanks for asking!!!
I’m a woman, and now a shade over 5’7". But I desperately wanted to be tiny after falling in love with gymnastics while watching the 1976 Summer Olympics. It could have happened - my paternal grandmother was only 4’10" or so. By the time I was about 8, however, I realized that I was almost as tall as my Grandma, so I set my sights on the opposite end of the spectrum. I wanted to be six feet tall, like my maternal grandmother and my aunt. Instead, I stopped just shy of 5’9" (and have shrunk since then.)
So either way, I didn’t get my druthers… I guess it’s okay, though, since my feet reach the ground most days, and it’s not too, too, too difficult to find clothes and shoes and stuff. (Except for long sleeves. I have Daddy’s monkey arms, so sleeves never quite reach my wrists.)
I’m female and 5’8" and that’d be great if I wasn’t so wide too. And I have big hair. So there is no hiding and I would really like to hide sometimes.
I guess it’s good no one can accuse me of being round at least.
I’m a woman. I’m 5"1 and have always been amused by it. The real pain is not being on the short side, especially as I am female. The real pain has always been having very large breasts. Short and large breasted is a very odd combination. On the surface it sounds nice but finding shirts that fit and don’t show too much has always been a problem. I’ve also been the center of unwanted male attention many times.
How’s the saying go, “Height ain’t nothing but a number”? 
I guess I’d like to be taller (5’7") but it really wouldn’t matter, as I’m actually about 4 feet tall sitting in a wheelchair. :p.
I voted “just right,” but really in Thailand I’m a bit too tall at 6’3" (but no, I don’t wish I were shorter). I feel more normal back in the West.
72." I’m okay with my height, but if it got me out of needing to lose 50 pounds to achieve my so-called ideal BMI, I could use another twenty inches.
Frankly, I’m probably better off just being okay with my current BMI.
I am female and 5’10". I am happy with my height now. I have been this height since I was 11. It didn’t bother me, but did make for some awkwardness. I was the tallest one in my class from kindergarten until grade nine. It was great once I hit about 16, I looked 21 and never got carded. It was around then that I also started wishing I would break 6’. Now I am mostly at peace with it. I can wear heels and be comfortable, or flats and still feel tall. If only sleeves and pant legs were long enough…I often prefer skirts/dresses and three quarter sleeves for this reason.
Sorry to hear that, but I was under the impression that the Air Force preferred short people for pilots?
I’m 5’7.25’', which is quite on the short side for the United States- maybe if it gets me down too much I could move to Latin America and be average.
You don’t really measure your height out to the quarter-inch, do you? This is humor, right?
Male / 5’8"-- I’ve always wished I could be at least 2 inches taller.
5’10"(ish). I’m almost exactly average height. One side of my family was tall and skinny; one side wasn’t. I ended up in the middle. One sister was taller than me and one shorter, too.
So I have no complaints in that direction.
