Tall women vs short women ...

Thanks, erutuoC, yojuicy and Fuuma. I just copied it from a website, so obviously some of them are inaccurate :blush: My apologies!

No problem....it doesn't detract from your main point (many girls famous for their beauty are/were short...)

I'm 168 cm - what does that make me??
(in inches)

I'm 168cm too!:flower: i think thats like 5'6 and a little bit above average so we can wear heels and also wear flats without looking too short!
 
I think I'm bout 5'7..and I sometimes wish I was shorter, but I think I would have been very thick..
 
i'm like 5"6 and i feel soo tall at highschool (i'm 16). even like at the mall and stuff i feel tall, i don't even wear heels or anything. maybe canadians are all just short? haha
 
im 5'2 and 1/2 and most of my height is come from my legs so yea, quite happy
(so biggest part of looking good in wutever body size is wear thing to balance your body parts' ratio:))
 
I'm 5'7", and the tallest girl in my school, haha. (Although my school only goes up to Jr. High... and I'm in my last year.) Yet I'm proud. I do actually wish I was two inches taller...
 
I'm 5'2, but was expected to be at least 5'5. My mom is just over that and my dad is 5'10. My legs are longer in proportion to my torso though. Pants in older petite lines are too short for me, but pants at 29 1/2" for Banana Republic and 30" for J. Crew fit me fine. If I could do something about my height, I'd like to add another five inches. Two on my torso and three for my legs. I want to be considered "elegant" rather than "cute"! Short girls are always "cute" and it isn't funny when you're about to turn 27. It's also harder for "cute" women to get ahead in business.
 
I am 5 ft, and it causes major problems with clothes! I usually buy all my jeans from Topshop as their 30'' leg is perfect on me - however, a couple of weeks ago, I bought a really expensive pair of Replay Jeans and as they were really long (they only come in a 34'' leg), I got them shortened.

Well, they must have measured them wrong and now they are way too short! Its a total disaster, quite upsetting, and I can't help thinking this would not have been a problem if I were taller :cry:
 
I'm 5'4 and have always wished I had longer legs, but on the other hand I wouldn't want to be taller/as tall as whatever guy I'm seeing. So I guess I kind of like being short, but I do wish I had longer legs (and skinnier legs too, I have insanely muscular/chubby calves, even when I'm underweight my calves are fat :p )

Ah well :)

im 5'11"-6' (need to check exactly) and i have super long legs (my boyfriend loves them). i adore being tall :heart:short is cute but i couldnt imagine being little. i tower over all of my best friends (they're 5'2" - 5'4") lol
 
i don't mind being short. what i do mind is people who tactlessly comment on it. is it any wonder short people want to be taller when they constantly listen to people pointing out how short they are? i really feel sorry for those who are shorter than i am and the crap they must have to put up with from tactless people. being short doesn't make you any less beautiful, doesn't stop you from looking good in clothes...it's perfectly normal just like being tall. some of the most beautiful people are short. women can't be too tall or too short without putting up with comments. it's a shame.

i'd only ever want to be tall when it comes to gigs ;) but hey, sometimes even that works out good, you get kind people who let you go in front.
 
I'm 5'3", but I'm only 13, and I should end up at about 5'7".5, although I wish I was taller. All my cousins are nice and tall, 5'9+, they all pick on me, hehe. My dad is 5'11", and my mom is 5'4"/5'5", so I'm hoping I can make 5'8", but I highly doubt it.

i'm 5'1 and i love my height. it took a long time to accept it and like it, but i do and i dont wish i was taller.

Holla. I'm 5'1" as well and I love it when tall people hit their heads on doorframes. jk...

My boyfriend is 5'6", and I can't see myself with anyone else. If I were any taller things would start looking silly because I live in heels. :lol:

My father, poor man, is only 5'2".
