Tall women vs short women ...

[a984mel]

I'm 5'10. i used to hate it when i was younger because I grew up with a house (and street) full of boys and I was always teased about being so tall and skinny, and I noticed recently that I have a permanent slouch 'cos of this. I'm trying to improve it and I quite like that I'm this tall, although when I go out in heels I always tower over the boys (maybe they're just abnormally short!!) I never wear heels during the day though. but thats more to do with my style rather than feeling self conscious

Im also 5'4" and i wish I was as tall as Gemma Ward , but I dont think that is ever going to happen so I may as well be happy with who I am and be grateful that at least I don't have to duck when I go through doorways and that cool kids fashion still fits me. While it may seem great to be tall I think that you should be happy with 5"4" because there are advantages in every height and I bet there is someone out there wishing they were in your position.


P.S. We can still dream about being taller though

And a lot of people think tiny people is cuter.

thats what im always told! lol i try not to let it go to my head.

im 5'6" and im not too happy. too short. i wish i was taller, but my boyfriend says men dont like VERY TALL women

 

[Snow-White]

i wish i was tall

but im Indian and the average height isnt very tall/

so its ok.

But then THOSE LONG FLOWY GOWNS on tall models ... so elegant and beautiful...

but i have come to the conclusion it more about proportion.
maybe you cant change how tlal you are once youve stopped gorwing but you can chnage your proportions and that IS under your control ..

i used to be average height 5'4, then whooosh. out of no where. i have UPed to 5'11. not to mention i'm asian, so people stares at me like i'm some sort of freak. I used to be really embarassed, but over the years. I have learned to embrace my height for the way it is. now days. i rock 3" heels with full on confidence =)..


although i do have to admit. finding pants with 36" inseam and coats with long arms can be a pain the **** =(

How old where you when you suddenly grow so much? I'm an asian to and I'm now 5'7

 

[Surfbunny]

Yes, I'd like to know when and how you suddenly grew so much. What did your mom slip into your food....lol jk ohhh....how i envy you! You should model!!!!

I'm 5'9" ... very happy with my height. I still where heels when I feel like it, altho it's great to just wear comfy shoes bc I don't need the extra height. When I was younger I hated it( I think that's just natural, bc let's face it-at first you feel awkward because men grow typically 2 years later)..but these past few years, I've been thinking its great. I just hate the 'oh my god you should model comments' because I don't think I have the features for it, and it's irritating to hear constantly from relative strangers who consider modeling to just be a question of height

i'm 5'7 too, meh

 

[Little Tiny]

I'm very tiny,4'll and very small 78lbs and I'm really happy with myself.I did want to be taller when I was a kid because I'd always be teased but now that I'm a woman[in my early thirties]I'm happy because I'm very unique to be so tiny.But the guys that I always like are 6ft tall and they always baby me and act like I need so much protection.It's funny too because people always think I'm anywhere from 14yrs old to 21 if I'm out at a club with a drink in my hand..and when I dress revealing moms have a fit that some mother would let me go out like that.I just laugh it all off.

I'm 5'8 1/2 or 5'9.I love being tall the only down side is i'm only 14 so in my group of friends i tower over them.

 

[evisu donna]

I'm 5'10 and I'm happy with it, I used to hate it, but unfortunately you can't do anything about it so..I think everyone just has to appreciate his height, every height has its advantage and if your confident, you're beautiful

 

[yadra]

i wish there was an edit option so i could simply tack this on to my other post. ah well.

i wish i was 5'9 or 5'10 at times, but i sometimes round up and say i'm 5'8 to make myself seem a bit taller than i really am (technically i'm 5'7 1/2, but unlike most girls i never count it). but at least i feel comfortable wearing heels around my bf, hes 6'3 (i dated two shorter guys, one 5'8 and the other 5'10 so i wore sneakers most of the time when i was around them lol)

 

[bluemoon]

I'm 5'3 and I love it! I love my height and weight. I'm addicted to 3-4 inch heels so I always ending up looking average.

aww, lol, I had the same issue....and my cousin as well, she's 14 and taller than me already. It's crazy how that happens. I remember growing over 6 inches in one year...I spent the whole year eating a sleeping.

 

[KhaoticKharma]

I'm a sort-of-tall 5'7 and my homecoming date is a very short 5'2 (I'm fourteen, he's fifteen). And I am still going to wear heels...

I desperatly want ot be 5'10.5". My mom is 5'10 and my dad is 6'6, so I think I have a chance of reaching my goalB).

 

[maraschin0]

I'm 5'7 1/2 and I used to wish I was shorter..The place where I live have reallly short girls and I guess it's weird coz my friends friends or bf friends used to come up to me and say wow you're really tall! And I found that strange because I'm 17 and it's also because I'm asian. I'm the tallest asian girl in my group of friends...They're all like 5'1"..Made me wish I was shorter and "cuter" like them.

 

[alwaysacitygirl]

I'm 4'10
