How tall are you?

[NJmaverick]

Are you happy with your height?

[RT Atlanta]

1. 6'1"

Yes - above average height in the U.S. is helpful in all manners, including business.

[Heidi]

2. 5'7.5"

I've never really thought about whether I'm happy with it, but now that you mention it, I think it's fine. :hi:

[taterguy]

3. Tall enough to reach items on the top shelf

And see over most people when I go see live music.

So yes, I'm happy about that.

[NJmaverick]

10. I'm 6' even and feel the same way

[Tuesday Afternoon]

4. 5'10". I am ok with it.

[blueamy66]

5. I'm 5'11" and sometimes wish that I was 5'8"

It was tough growing up being the tallest kid in your class...and being a girl.

I have learned to embrace my height. :)

[dropkickpa]

6. 5'0", sure, why not

[Chan790]

7. 6'4"

I'd rather be 6'1".

[MineralMan]

8. I used to be

6' 1" tall. Now, at age 64, I'm just short of 6'. I ain't growing, and that's a fact.

[bikebloke]

9. This tall.

(see where my hand is?)

[Moondog]

11. 6'. I never really thought about it. OK, I guess.

[livetohike]

12. 5'8"

When I was in school, I was unhappy with being so tall since I was always taller than most boys - until high school.

I'm happy to be this height now (57 years old)and trying hard not to shrink :-).

[rrneck]

13. 5'10"

Sometimes it seems that the city built the sidewalk too close to my ass.

[Maine-ah]

14. vertically challenged, and I like it.

I'm 4'11" :hi:

[AllenVanAllen]

15. 6' 4"

I think my height has served me well.

[fizzgig]

16. 5' 6"

i can reach everything in the cabinets, so i guess i'm happy enough with it.

[bigwillq]

17. 5-3

I don't mind it.

[backtoblue]

23. me, too

I don't mind being short, either.

[csziggy]

54. Me too, I wouldn't mind being short if my legs were longer in poportion to my torso

But I've got really really short legs and it is a nuisance.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. 5'7"...

I used to be at least 5'8"!

But I've been shrinking...:cry:

It's been gradual, so I'm OK with it...

:hi:

[handmade34]

19. 5'1" and shrinking

[SteppingRazor]

20. 6'2" And, yeah, I'm cool with it I guess.

Like someone else said in this thread, I never really give much thought to it. ... except in those rare instances when someone is so much taller than I am that I have to look way up at them. That usually means they've gotta have at least half a foot on me. And then I realize that the way I'm looking at them is the way anyone under 5'8" looks at me. Then I guess it's kinda weird, because I don't really consider myself "tall" per se.

[applegrove]

21. 5'8" 1/2. I love my height. For only the first time in my life I bought a pair of pants

and had to have them hemmed last fall.

[Rambis]

22. 6' 5 6 feet 8" with the afro

[Crabby Appleton]

24. 6' 2"

can't do much about it.

[trof]

25. 6'3". I'd like to be 5'2" on airplanes.

Otherwise, it's OK.

[Auggie]

26. Same here. And I hate airplanes.

[AllenVanAllen]

30. Yeah, planes are a bit uncomfortable,

luckily the low ceiling stand usually doesn't last too long. :)

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

27. I'm tall for a woman

Five foot ten. Wearing heals I'm over 6 feet. I LOVE IT!!! BWHAAAHHAAAA.

[NJmaverick]

42. yikes

:hide:

[SacredCow]

28. 5' 10"

Happy with it? Never gave the matter much thought, to be honest.

[graywarrior]

29. Apparently not as tall as I think I am.

[Captain Hilts]

31. I don't mind being short - 5'2" I just wish I could get shirts to fit. I do, however, have larger

feet than most women my size - size 8.5 - 7.5 in men's.

[Angel]

32. I live in a world of knee caps and bellybuttons.

I am 4' 11'' and shrinking. Size 5-5 1/2 shoe. I'm fine with it, it is part of what makes me the person I am.

[Captain Hilts]

49. I can beat you up. nt

[Broken_Hero]

33. 6'4, yeah I'm happy with my height, nt

[_dynamicdems]

34. 5'5" and sure.

I have never even considered it before, except when I was a pre-teen and wanted to be a jockey when I grew up. Then I would have liked to be a couple of inches shorter.

[MikeH]

35. 6'4"

And yes I am happy with my height.

It is a gruesome story how I came to be tall; I was once a little boy, and then I grew some.

Actually in high school I was very unathletic and very poor at sports, especially team sports. So I always hated it very much when somebody would ask me if I played basketball. I still have never come to like or enjoy team sports, but I started running to be in shape when I was in college, and I am still doing that, even at age 58.

I have been a member of the San Diego chapter of the http://www.tall.org/">Tall Club since 1991, and have enjoyed social activities with them. The Tall Club has a little over 50 chapters in different cities, and the height requirements are 6'2" for men and 5'10" for women. The San Diego chapter was very active in the mid 1990's, but has been relatively inactive in recent years.

I love dancing with tall women, particularly slow dancing.

[mitchum]

37. That would be a good title...

"I Love Dancing With Tall Women"

[NJmaverick]

41. Why do you think the tall club became inactive?

[MikeH]

53. Normal ebb and flow of interest

Many of the people lost interest.

Also the club had not been attracting younger members in recent years; most of the active members are people my age, some older, and some a little bit younger, and many have been in the club for ages.

We still have occasional activities from time to time which are announced by e-mail (rather than planned ahead and put in a monthly newsletter like we had done before).

[mitchum]

36. 6' and I'm cool with it

[KamaAina]

38. 6'3" and change.

Then again, my new favorite human being of all time is all of 3'8"! Imagine how much greener the world would be if we were all her size. Houses and cars would be smaller. Multi-story buildings would be shorter. It would even take less resources to feed and clothe us! :-)

[Odin2005]

39. 5' 8"

I wish I were at least 2 inches taller, I am JUST short enough that I can't reach the highest cupboard shelves.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

40. five foot nothing. yes.

[elocs]

43. For a male of my generation (born in 52) I have always been average height for a male,

so I've never had any kind of complex about my height, either too short or tall. Now, it really makes no difference to me anymore.

[SoxFan]

44. 5'10" and spare change

Wish I was taller. One of my brothers is almost 6'2", and my father is 6'1". My mother is barely 5'2", and her mother was even shorter. I drew the short stick, genetically speaking.

[bluedigger]

45. 6' 2" and a half...

It is what it is.

[hippywife]

46. Just a little over 5' 2".

I guess I'm okay with that but I really think I'm too short for my weight. :rofl:

[TK421]

47. 6'3".... I've never had a problem with it, except for grade school

I was the tallest kid in my class for many years, but it's just one of those things you don't really ever think about all the time ( not to demean your OP )

[tabbycat31]

5'6

I feel it's perfect...... i'm not too tall not too short.

[Zavulon]

48. 6'2"

Actually, I'm a quarter of an inch from 6'3", but I can't stand people who exaggerate their height. I have almost as much disrespect for any adult who insists on adding the fraction when asked their height - "How tall am I? I'm six-two and three quarters, and I'll bet that additional three quarters of an inch really impresses the fuck out of you."

I'm fine with my height, no desire to be taller or shorter.

[dysfunctional press]

50. i used to be 6'4"...but due to my spinal condition, i'm now just over 6'.

i liked being taller.

[azmouse]

51. 5'5"

I'm ok with it. Nothing I could do about my height if I wasn't happy. :shrug:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

52. I will never bump my head on a low rafter.

I will also never be able to reach the top shelves in the grocery store.

[sakabatou]

55. 6' 3"

Tallest of my family.

[armyowalgreens]

56. 5'9''
