Tall women vs short women ...

I'm about 5'9" and I feel as though it's the perfect height. I do think sometimes it would be nice to be shorter every now and again, but it's never really bothered me. I know a lot of girls at my school are shorter and they always talk about how much they would like to be taller. I don't really think it's something people should worry about, seeing as they can't change it. I think that everyone has an advantage in some way. Short people can more easily pull off heels (something I envy). It's not as though taller woman can't wear heels (hello, models), some people are just really uncomfortable. At my height, however, I sometimes feel good in the fact that I'm very close in height to models. I may not be a model, I may not be the epitome of beauty, but it is kind of uplifting. While sometimes it is hard to find guys taller than me, I'm sure there are plenty out there, so I don't worry about that either. I'm rather comfortable where I am...
 
Haha liny if i were you and if people kept asking me, i would keep answering them because being 5'10" is a thing to be proud of :(. I would even add 1 more inch if im 5'10" :lol:

Hahah thanks. Sometimes I feel like I should wear a tag. Or tattoo it somewhere.

Minonminette: I'm not nearly as tall, but you said it best!
 
for me, being 5'3" sucks. Most clothes that I have or would like to have don't work for me because they overpower my frame and are just so unflattering. My short legs are the bane of my existance. I know I can't do anything about it, but if I could, trust me I would!
 
With all due respect to all heights...I just wanted some input..and thoughts.. My sister and I ( 5'4 ft) always complain that we are short and wish we were taller...you know the whole long legs notation...
So what do you think?


I don't Think myself short ::cry:
 
I'm 5'9 with heels I'm usually about 6'0' with heels. I love my height.
 
The last time I checked, I'm about 5'1 and I'm already 16. It's not really easy finding anything that suits me well because clothes are usually made with taller people in mind. I'd love to be about 5'5 (realistically) but ideally, I'd want to be 5'8-5'10 just so that clothes would fit better on me.
 
I'm 5'8 and very, very long - I have a 35" inseam, which makes it extremely difficult to find slacks and jeans. I also have long arms and fingers, which makes finding sweaters and even gloves a total pain in the *ss, lol. I love my shape, but wish it was easier to find flattering and well-fitting clothing.
 
Weird! I am 5"4 and have never found it hard to find clothes that fit right. I've never really noticed or even worried about it - too busy worrying about other things I'd like to alter;)
 
This is interesting!!

I'm a 6', 36-28-34, 34 inseam guy. I feel uncomfortable when I'm next to tall (let's say above 5'8'') girls/women that are my size or larger. Shorter ones bigger than me, that's ok! Taller ones smaller than me, that's ok! It's weird, but somehow I'm comfortable around models as tall or taller (with or without heels) than me. Maybe it's because of the proportions. Maybe it's because I'm skinny... but I just feel insecure.
I wish I was 2 inches taller and broader (to keep the proportions), so I wouldn't feel this way! Luckily (or sillily!) I'm from Portugal, which means I'm taller than average and I don't run into tall women than often!

I'm only 5ft and I love it. I don't have to worry about dating someone shorter than me or about hitting my head on anything :)
I do have problems finding perfectly fitting clothes. My feet don't reach the ground when I'm sitting still on my bicycle either. I can't complain, I suppose. There's room for a lot of creativity because I'm not part of the height majority.

Not that taller individuals aren't gorgeous. Although I rarely find myself jealous of people who are taller, I still think they are beautiful. Just in a different way, haha
 
i'm 4'10.5" (148,5 cm) that is indeed very short but i've gotten used to it, still i have about 3 pairs of 4" heels and some flats. I don't really have an issue with my height i just like wearing heels but not of the purpose of been taller.

about clothes, yes i have to cut the jeans so they fit properly or fold them up, but i'm so used to it that for me seems a normal thing to do.

I'm 1,70 m (5'7) and it's perhaps the thing I like the most about my physical appearance, I think it's the perfect height/
