Tall women vs short women ...

[jjbunny79]

another shortie 5 ft 4 in but high waisted & 'long-legged' for a short person. LOL. almost everyone in my family is over 5 ft 7 in(women too..men many 6ft+) so i'm not sure what happened to me.

i've seen many taller low-waisted people with short legs, ..proportionately.

i try to be careful with keeping prints in scale, nothing too huge. no flat or overly long hairstyles pressing me into the floor, etc.

save that, i don't mind being an elf.

lol me too im only 5ft 2.5 in but my leg take up like half of my body lol (because i used to work on my legs a lot in grade school but during puberty all the stuff i only do is walking lol) anyhow i think propertion is more important than say height, because sometimes a person is no way look good if every thing of his/her body out of proportion and with no soul

Im 5ft 10 and small people do annoy me because i have to bend down to kiss them hello..(i have a back injury) Luckily all my friends are tall too and I very rarely kiss strangers.

Only one problem being my height and 125- 129ish lbs (im really boney looking for some unexplainable reason) I cant get UK size 8 (usa4) jeans with a 34 length very easily..truth be told even thats a bit short at times.

I like tall people because I find that there is more to hug.. my last boyfriend was 6ft 6 and it was sooo nice to wear heels and STILL be shorter and be able to wrap my arms around him.. I wouldnt date anyone less than 5ft10.5 because i think it looks a little odd

then again can you really chose who you fall for?

I'm 5'3"...my legs are actually long for my height, but I kinda like it that way.

Plus, being short suits my personality. I wouldn't be a very good tall person.

ooh JamieRL i can relate to your story so much, yes shorties do annoy me (no offense)

I'm 5"7, 5"8 118 or so but I still consider myself short because I love fashion and look at models all the time (well unfortunately not in real life but here or in fashion magazine etc) and my dream when I was a teen aws to be a model, but I stopped growing at my height so its basically crushed. Anyway, I don't consider myself tall and lean, I definately don't consider myself fat or anything but just not as tall and lean as I would like to be.

Anyway, I live in a highly asian populated area and being asian myself I stand out because I am big and tall for asian standards. People always thought I was a few years older than I m just because I'm tall. Its really not my face! From pictures people can estimate my real age quite well. But real life, its a different story. This has not stop now that I"m in my 20s. People still think I'm like 4/5 years older than I am, but its like hey! Height doesn't correlate to age when your in your adulthood!

Anyway, small girls annoy me because 1- they seem younger even if they have an old face, and 2-I don't like looking down at them when we talk because I just don't like that feels... 3-they can pull off layering and weird clohtes better than me.. eg prints, bright colors, because i guess they are shorter so its less in your face. If i wore a bright purple tunic people would b like whoa that's PURPLE popsicle (yes yes it had been said before i was in a purple dress) and also you weigh more even if your thinner so people think that you are fatter than you are!

I have a friend who is 5,10, gorgeous girl and she is THIN she's at 130 pounds but people refuse ot believe that because for a shorter girl e.g 5"3, 130 pounds seem like an impossible weight to be considered thin...

I tell people my weight and they look at me like I'm really fat. I remember we were talking about how much we weigh on time in a resturant and I said I was 120 while reaching for some more fries. and my friends who were 5"2, 110 pounds were like hey are you sure you should be eating that then? I was so insulted. we wear the same size jeans, but I'm 6inches taller! I dont' think I'm fat I know i'm not stick thin either but gosh that's so insulting!

i'ms short and you're right short people can pull off layer better. i'm very small and i'm expert on layering looks.plus i look bigger when i have more clothes on. but in the other hand it's bad because no one notices you. i think that it doesn't matter ho tall or how short you are or are you fat or skinny. personality matters you know. any way it matters in my case.

 

[cuppycakes]

I'm 5ft 7in. I have a really hard time finding pants that are the perfect length. They are too long or too short.

 

[Whitelinen]

I'm 5'5. I don't I have ever wished I was taller, probably because when I was a child I used to always be abnormally taller than others. But, then it stopped.

I think I would rather be even shorter, though there would be some advantages if I were tall, ie a lot of clothes look better on you.

 

[just_me]

I think since short celebs like the Olsens and nicole richie its almost more 'cool' being short. lol.

 

[Couture_Tribe]

I am 5'8, 155lb, large framed, a little muscle and chinese. I am huge compare to girls my age (15...) and cultural background. I still wear 4 ince heeals often. one inch heel almost daily. Guys always ask me: YOu are tall enough, why do you still wear heels? I am very fed up with that question honestly. I think wearing heels at this height tells people that I am secure in my height, and also, from looking at models daily, visually, my average height is 5'9.

Im 5 3.5. I weigh 41 kgs dont know how many pounds that is.

Im extremely lucky that although Im short, my tiny bone structure and delicate features gives me model proportions (according to people).

I like my height and I like how clothes look on me and I live in flats.

This wasnt always the case. In high school i was dying to be taller and wore heels non stop.

Now I find my super petiteness sets me apart. Surprisingly all my boyfriends have been the type that prefer tall thin women but after they meet me they change their preference (how vain do i sound heh) and realise how dainty, gracile and delicate a small girl can be.

 

[winterinjuly]

i am 5'11" and 130 lbs. i think that no matter how tall or short you are there will always be that little voice of doubt. i think that being tall is a different challenge than being shorter. i have a lot of trouble finding pants that don't balloon on me also its nearly impossible to find shirts that fit properly.

and modest to?

i'm 5'6" and i remember wishing I was shorter when I was younger, I guess all of my friends were shorter or not growing as fast as I was. Still to this day people think I am much taller than I am, but i'm average. Because of this, they think i'm a giant when I wear heels whcih is pretty ridiculous but makes me a little self conscious.

 

[leggy_e11e]

I've been slightly obsessed with my height for a while, I'll confess I desperately wanted to grow taller (I was a little shorter than 5'8" then), that's what happens when you see all those models strutting their stuff on catwalks all the time. I still want to be 5'10", 1.77 to be exact, because I feel the number suits me And ofcourse because that means you'll have long legs, yesss. All I can do is eat right (enough that means ), wait and have luck

Meeee too. I am height obsessed lol I'm about 172cm (just over 5'7") and I wish I was taller. 5'7 is such a NOTHING height!! Although I am glad I'm not shorter ...

I'd love to grow just 3 or 4 centimetres. Like you, it's from looking at too many gorgeously tall models! I don't think I'll grow any more cos I'm 18 but it doesn't hurt to dream!

What effect do eating habits have on growth? What stunts your growth?

I think it was inappropriate for those who gracefully stated that they hate bending down and greeting shorter people, cause i think shorter people also wouldnt like to strain their leg muscles to reach out to tall people. Some consideration would be appreciated.

i thought it was kind of funny. being 5ft 2 myself, i love to be a burden to those tall people who are simply too lazy to bend down and talk to me get over it, giraffes! hey...if we can be called shorties and midgets then why can't they be called by names.

 

[mademoiselle_]

Giraffes have such elegant necks

 

[style_star]

How about beanpoles then?

Just joking though ... that wasn't meant as an insult!

 

[kimberwyn]

I'm 5'4". It's weird because I know it sounds short but I don't feel short. I actually feel and think I look pretty tall (and Im usually in flips) hehe. And my legs are pretty long, sometimes I think my waist is too high.
