I’m 5’10"–about average for men, so I said “just right.” Being a couple inches taller would be nice, but any taller than that would make it hard to fit into airplane or bus seats, etc.
I’m too short. I used to be 6’1" but spinal degeneration shrank me to 5’10". After a fusion and an artificial disk implant, I’m up to 5’11.
I’m a 5’6 male who has been told he is short, but doesn’t particularly feel short.
I’m of average height but I should be taller based on my weight. According to charts, I should be 8’11".
Of course. You’re not overweight, you’re undertall.
My father and my brother are both six feet and I’m only 5-10. That’s not short for a man, but I wouldn’t mind being those extra couple inches taller.
If it’s any consolation, it’s not much better to be taller and big-chested. You still can’t find clothes that fit right!
Hey don’t begrudge me that extra quarter inch!
I’m a smidge over six feet, which I’m okay with. I could actually stand to bet a little shorter, say five ten. I’m into sports cars and motorcycles and both seem designed for people a bit shorter. I am SO sick of low seat height being the chief selling point of modern bikes.
pastry option should be a Long John.
I’m ok with being 5’10", so that’s what I answered. But I wouldn’t mind being a few inches taller, because my partner is 6’10". And of course he wouldn’t mind being a little shorter.
As am I. I also loved wearing 3" heels until the bones in my feet said “Knock it off, bitch.”.
As a child, I wanted to be tall. I remember looking into the bathroom mirror and standing on my tiptoes. “I want to be 5’ 8” when I grow up."
Must have been some Miss America vestigial memory stuck in my head.
5’10" male. I’m pretty happy with my height. Average, which was a nice change from being the shortest kid in class my whole childhood.
And the wife is a little tall for a Thai woman. In fact, her mother used to worry she would not be able to find a husband due to being too tall. All of her documents officially list her as 161 centimeters, but that’s only about 5’3" and I swear she must be a couple of inches taller than that.
5’10", female. I love being tall, and wouldn’t want to be shorter. In fact, I wouldn’t mind being an inch or so taller.
The spouse is just a shade taller than I am. Works out great.
At my peak I was 6’2" but am 6’1" now that I am navigating my late 60s. In high school I never felt tall because I was the second shortest in my crowd, with the others ranging from 6’3" to 6’9", with a 6-footer being the one shorter than I. Regardless of being on the lower end in that group, I have always been content with my height, except in economy class.
Tall enough to be sick of your post party bullshit.
Male, 6’1", tall enough I don’t have short person problems, short enough I don’t have tall person problems.
My perception is probably influenced by the fact I was taller than both parents by high school, if not middle school.
I’m male, and 6’ 1/2". I’ve never had a problem with my height.
That seems like it shouldn’t be so much a requirement for total height as for leg length, although I’m not surprised the people who defined them weren’t that subtle. I’m 5’4", but seated I’m as tall as the 5’10" people (short legs or long torso, take your pick). I have serious problems getting car seats as forward as I need it in order to be able to slam the pedals down, without hitting the steering wheel with my knees; some makes I just don’t even bother trying to drive. I’ve had to reject rentals because it was simply Not Possible to get things set properly.
