Are you tall enough?

Male, 6’2", find this a perfect height. I get to be Tall without being Freakish.

Waiting for Sicks Ate to make an appearance :slight_smile:

I’m a perfectly fine height, although I’m also very happy that there is such a thing as stepladders; I would like to be better proportioned, but whatever, every body part works. And I want some goddess-blessed cheesecake, of the “has not been thrown at anybody” variety.

I’m male 5’11". I’m perfectly okay with my height. It’s never caused me any problems and I certainly don’t feel insecure about it. That said, an extra inch or two would have been nice. Not gonna lose any sleep over it, though.

Female, 5’4". I’m happy with my height, or lack thereof. On the downside, people can be a bit patronising and insist on helping me carry things I’m perfectly capable of carrying, etc. But on the upside, people insist on carrying things I’m perfectly capable of carrying, etc.

I am a woman 5’6" I was 5’ 7 1/2" before I began shrinking
I am tall enough to see over the dashboard and reach the pedals
I am tall enough to assist the random short people who can not reach something on a high shelf (library, grocery, pharmacy, where ever)
I am too tall to be attractive to any men except those who are my height or shorter
I am the perfect height to appreciate a Skald the Rhymer thread;)
I have never wished to be shorter
I do wish to be the height I was before I began shrinking

The minimum height is 5’ 4". What I have heard is that if I ever had to eject from a jet, because my thighs are to short I would either break my back or rip my legs off. If I sit forward in the chair so that my legs go down, that pulls my lower back away from the seat back. If I sit all the way back, my legs stick out…

Male 5’7" I don’t give it much thought but if I had a choice I would choose taller.

I’m the same height as your sister, give or take half an inch, and I feel tall enough. I never wanted to be a model. There are stepladders for things I can’t reach. I feel fortunate, really. It’s easier for short girls to date guys who are taller than us without being accused of heightism. Smaller people are generally considered adorable, whereas tall people are more elegant-looking (I’ll never be elegant, thank god).

I really don’t experience many downsides. The only thing I can think of is that I’ve always had kinda stubby legs (specifically, my thighs are quite short) which limits my number of available sexual positions. But practically, that’s never really been a problem. Oh, and maybe I have to take more steps than a tall person to get where I’m going. But that’s cool, exercise is good. :slight_smile:

I’m a woman and I’m too short but only because I lost half an inch after back surgery. :frowning:

Oh and I’m 5’2" but everyone thinks I’m taller for some reason.

Really no option for me in the poll. On the one hand, I should be 6" taller to be in line with my older brothers’ height difference; on the other, it’s difficult enough to find clothes that fit as I am now.

I’m 5’5" and I’m OK with it, altho I’d have liked a couple more inches. 5’7" seemed like a good height to me. Alas, I expect to start shrinking soon, what with being old and all. :smiley:

I’m male, 5’8", possibly 5’9" on a tall day. My height feels just about right to me. I think it’s the only thing I ever got right the first time.

I’m 6’5". Anyone taller than that is freakishly tall, but I’m just right.

Interesting. I’m a shade over 6’4", and I love my height. There are downsides, most related to certain sports, but I wouldn’t change a thing.

My feet aren’t small, but they’re small for my height. 11.5. I think I got lucky there.

I’m 5-9. I guess I’m lucky to be that since my father married a hobbit even though he was over 6-3. I suppose I wish I was about 6-0. It seems that men’s clothing is designed for those that are at that height and much of it doesn’t look good if you are shorter.

I prefer short women for what it’s worth.

Lucky you…?

I’m about an inch taller than you, and have always wanted to be statuesque, but am sadly average. Averageish. Sure, I’m slightly taller than the norm for a woman, but not enough so for anyone to remark that I am tall. It occasionally happens, but I’m not *tall *tall. Oh well, I can live with 5’8" primarily because I don’t have a choice. I look great in heels, though. Not even gonna feign modesty about that one.

I’m too short because I used to be 5’10" and now I’m only 5’9". And I always used to typically be the tallest woman in a group and now women are towering over me.

Well I am 4 foot 11 and three quarter inches tall. That is what the nurse always says when I go in for any reason as she giggles. My driver’s license says five even though. Ha ha. I hate being this short. I can’t even reach things on the second self in my own kitchen, unless I move the shelves around and then things don’t fit right. Clothes are a nightmare (leg length… arm length coupled with decent sized breasts… skinny but still round where I’m a woman and a mother…). My sister is 5’3" and I envy that nice height.

Just a shade under 6’, and I’m happy with it. My 5’5" wife just needs to look up a little to look into my eyes. My 16year old son is maybe a hair taller than me, and my 14 year old is closing in fast.

Without shoes I measure right at 6 feet. Tall enough, although people think I’m taller than that.

I also have long arms, which helps with reaching things, but clothing manufacturers must think I’m an imaginary creature.
