I'm 5'6 and would like to be a little taller. The main reason is because chairs aren't made for short people, I have to sit with poor posture for my feet to reach the ground (it probably doesn't help that I have short legs for my height as well). Not really looking forward to lower back problems later in life

I'm 5'5 and as I girl I feel really badly about it. I feel like I stick out way too much and can't be considered "cute" like other girls, even though I'm really not that much taller than most girls I meet. Also my legs are really long so I can forget about finding any skirts/ dresses that don't look too short on me.

I'm around 168cm, I'm a sixteen year old female. Most of my female friends in real-life are of similar height or a bit longer, so I can't really complain.

Fun fact: I used to constantly complain about my school's chairs and tables being made for midgets when I grew older and still had to use the same height for the chairs and tables in my13th grade as a 5th grader.

Well, I'm 6'3 and I don't really dislike nor like it. It has some advantages, and it has some disadvantages, like all things. The most annoying thing is bumping my head into... Well, things.

Right now it greatly limits my ability to find a mate, as women strongly prioritize guys that are taller than them (and many women seem to strongly prefer guys that are at least a few inches taller than them, which doesn't normally happen in my case).


If you're looking for a long-term relationship this isn't exactly a disadvantage, as it filters out the most superficial candidates by default.


hmmm well that's a different way of looking at it.. but still doesn't change the fact that the vast majority of women seem to not want to have a relationship with a man shorter than them or only 1-2'' taller than them. I've even questioned some of them and they say stuff like "I feel like I need to be protected by my man" "I don't want to feel manlier than my man" , "I need to be shorter than him even when I'm wearing 5'' heels" and such.

I'm 180cm+ (Around 5'11, although I can't remember how tall last time I measured) and (hopefully) still growing. It wouldn't bother me being stuck at this height, but my ideal height would be somewhere around 185 (6'1).

Sister, 5'5" is still kinda short over here. Just depends on the average where you are, I guess... :P Don't worry about it too much.

I'm 5'1. I don't really have a problem with my height nor do I dislike it, but there are disadvantages like the ones you've mentioned. Being mistaken for a younger age, not being able to reach things on higher shelves, ect.. Lol.

I'm the shortest one in my family/friends. Haha.

I'm 179 cm, which, if I remember correctly, is the exact average height for a male such as myself, here in the US. But I do tend to feel like I'm a little on the tall side quite often. I think it's because the average is actually a few cm above the mode or something. Anyway, mirrors usually cut off my eyes, so I have to bend down, my nut sack can rest on counter tops quite easily, so I have to bend way down to sign anything, or whatever...

I'd rather be too short and not have to constantly contort my back, ruining what little posture I might have developed otherwise. And that's coming from a guy. So if you're a short chick, you really shouldn't complain.

Also, in case no one has told you yet, cute is sexy, when you're talking about chicks. It's only an insult if you're talking about guys. Unless they're gay, I guess.

I have a terrible memory and I hope I haven't commented in this thread before 'cause I remember mentioning my height and then a day later realising I was wrong lol

In any case, I'm approximately 5'7"/170cm(ish) and I'm a girl. Most women in my family are 5'5"/165cm or shorter. I'm pretty content with my height, although I do wish I was a little taller. My boyfriend doesn't though, hahaha.

I don't think it affects my life much, it just means I have a better chance of reaching cupboards and shelves. It's a relatively average height so nobody ever mentions it really.

Shorter girls do tend to be considered cuter, but from what I've heard guys generally seem to prefer shorter girls so don't worry too much if you can help it!

170cm/5"7, thanks to my short ass parents.

Wish I was 175cm or taller, cause I have quite a lot of high heels but never find the courage to wear them.

Why don't you have the courage to wear high heels? Don't they make you taller?

How happy are you with your height? Does it affect your life? Do you feel uncomfortable about it and would change it if you could?

Personally I'm not too comfortable with mine. I'm a 5ft tall 21 year old girl, so obviously I'm incredibly on the short side. One issue is that guys don't tend to find my sexually attractive, more 'cute' although I'm not so fussed about that. However I do hate people questioning my age, constantly making fun of my height and putting things on shelves that i can't reach.

So how about you guys?


Ditto minus not liking my height. Its nice being short. I just wish companies would take into consideration not everyone is average height.

5 foot 7 male and I'm indifferent about it. I'm shorter than a lot of my friends (even ones younger than me) but I don't have really have any reason to complain other than having to stand on my tiptoes to reach certain things.

I don't think I'm any taller than 6'9 now, and no I don't play basketball that often. I'm a hockey kind of guy.

I'm more of an ectomorph, but I lift weights so I got some muscle.
