How tall are you?

[MissCrabette]

Yep, what MrsK said. Some nurses or medical assistants really push down on my head when measuring me. I'm 5'2" on a good day in the morning.

[GreyhoundsRUs]

5'6". I've never really had strong feelings about wanting to be taller or shorter - so I guess that means I'm pretty average. One set of cousins are all between 6'1" and 5'10" (all girls). Their dad is 6'7"

[Vanquisher]

I'm 5'9". I've never realled loved my height. I always just feel big. I hate wearing heels. Ballroom dancing was always harder for me.

Wow! You ladies are statuesque!

I'm 5'1'' with a generous measurement, really probably 5'0.5''.

DH is almost 6'8'' and his friends are 6'3''-6'7'' (college football). ALL his friends GFs/SOs are 5'10''+, I seriously get a neckache/backache just from going to a bar or social event with them cause I just look up the entire time. Heels don't even help. Even with 4 inch heels, DH is still 16 inches taller.

Boring 5'4"

5'7. DH is 6'2. I have three sisters and a brother, and all of them are taller than me but one. My 16 y.o. is 6'5, my 13 y.o. is 5'4, and my *9* y.o. is 5'3. I like being as tall as I am. I am just about always taller than my middle school students, which in my book is a good thing. I have never hesitated to wear heels for height reasons, but I hardly ever wore them when my boys were little because of needing to move fast to keep up with them and chase them if necessary! Now that they are older, I have a hard time going back to heels because of comfort reasons!

5'6 1/2. Most people think I'm taller because I live in heels.

[L.Jane]

5' and 3/4ths on a good day. Yes, I am rather short and definitely get the short jokes for it. I guess a couple extra inches would be nice, but really if I had the chance to change anything I would make my feet bigger. I'm pretty much a size four and I would LOVE to be at least a 6 so I could find some darn shoes. But thats a total tangent.

5'9. I never really likes my height because I always felt big. DH says he is 5'11 which may be a little exaggeration. I don't do heels.

[Auspicious]

5'10" and from a family that prides itself on being tall. My mom and her sister were both taller than me at their peak and Grandma was the same as me. They guys are taller. My husband is 6'2" but is the exception in his average-height family. People think my girls get their height from their dad, but really it's from my side of the family!

I did suck being taller than the boys for a while, but I had plenty of other attributes to scare them off anyway, believe me. I'm glad no one ever suggested I stay away from heels, and playing sports where height was an asset helped in those years, too.

There are certainly taller women out there, but few enough that I usually notice right away if I'm in the same room with one!

ETA: crossposted w/ 2.

[KCwife]

5' 1.5", I hated being short as a kid, but then I started liking being little. I do tend to wear heels a lot though.

[Mrs. MD, Esq.]

5'4 1/2... Never been too bothered either way...

[oceanchild]

I'm about 5'6" and have always found that thoroughly unobjectionable. I'm the shortest person in my immediate family.

[Cinderella]

5'6"

Maybe on a good day. 5 even
