6’ and I’m good with it.
In school I was super tall, super skinny, and had big boobs at 7th grade. I hated it then.

I’m 5’4” and I’m the tallest woman on both sides of my family. I’m fine with my height.

5’4” and was always the shortest in my family and among most of my friends. I wouldn’t mind being a little taller. 😉

I honestly don't remember if I'm 4'9" or 4'10.
I desperately wanted to be over 5 feet tall, like around 5''2". It's kinda ridiculous given I'm sitting all the time anyway.

I am 5 foot on the button. Other than being way too easy to gain weight, I love being a shorter person.

I’m 5’5” and I’m happy with my height. I wish my legs were shorter and my body was longer though! I have the same inside leg measurement as my 6’ Ex husband!

I am 5'6". I have short legs and a long torso. I'd love longer legs.
DH is 6', DS is 6'2", DD is 5'10", so kids take after their dad.

I’m 5’3 and would like to be 5’7 or so. Not too tall or too short. I don’t mind my size but it would be nice to be able to get a pair of jeans in regular size, not short length.

5'9 and if i got to chose i would pick 5'9.
it's never been a negative for me.
i do like tall guys though. i feel bad for that and i wouldn't rule out dating someone around my height or slightly shorter, but i am physically most attracted to guys at least 6' tall (preferably taller than that).

I'm barely 5'2". I'd like to be tall enough to reach into the cabinet above the stove to get the salt without having to use a step stool or climb up on the counter.

I'd just like to be tall enough to carry my grandmother and aunts genes without being so frumpy.
I left my aunt's house last week to go see my trainer and she said 'be strong, be healthy, and be committed, but attach your goal to something else because honey those thighs and boobs are here to stay.'
If I can order tall, graceful, and muscular I'd go 5'6. Now I'm right at 5 foot, which also happens to be the height of most mens armpits on social media

I used to be 5'6" but nearing 73 I find that I have shrunk to 5'4 1/2". All that missing height went into my feet. I used to wear a size 9, now I wear an 11!
I hope I don't shrink anymore. I used to be 5'4" and now I'm 5'3", I used to be a size 9 shoe and now I'm a 12 (part of that is due to bunions though). I just turned 50.
I was mostly happy at my 5'4" mark. I'm not so happy with the 5'3" as even my dd14 is now taller than me. and the family make fun of my shortness . jk, it's all in fun. But I really can tell a difference with that 1"!

5'9". I am fine with that even though most of me is legs! Hard to find jeans long enough. My Dad is 6' and my mom was 5'6".
DH is 5'10 and so is my son.

I'm 5'7" and I think it's mostly perfect. I am the tallest girl in my family and my sister/cousins are all jealous of my height. BUT I am long legged so regular length jeans usually don't work for me. I have to find 33" length jeans. Dress pants are sometimes tricky as well, but I tend to have better luck with those. When I'm on a plane, I sometimes curse my long legs!

I am 5'11 and I don't mind my height so much anymore except the fact that it's difficult finding pants that fit my 34 inch inseam. Oh how I feel your pain! I am 5' 11 3/4" and have a 36" inseam. It's an absolute nightmare finding any type of pants!!!!! And tops are always 3/4 length on me, even if they are not meant to be! Other than finding clothing, I LOVE being tall!!!!!! My husband is 5' 10" and we were friends in high school. He once told me, "I could never date a girl as tall as you." and now I tease him and say, "Yeah, you just marry them!"

I am 5’5” and have been that since 5th grade. My older brother used to tell me that when I grew up and went to prom, the boys would be dancing with my big toe. My parents even sent me to a special doctor because they were worried I was going to be a giant. i love my height. I am used to it.

I'm longer in the torso proportionally than in the legs. One piece bathing suits rarely fit me well. Dresses that have a fitted waist don't often hit at the right spot either -- they fit more like an empire waist on me. I've learned to buy clothes accordingly. For example, I love high-waisted pants. They fit me better. I am also longer in the torso than legs. I am 5'5", but would love to be 5'7". I think if my legs were proportional to my torso rather than legs, that's about the height I would be. I have to buy Long instead of regular length bathing suits if they are one piece. Fitted dresses never work for me either. Petite pants fit me better than regular length, so that's what I usually buy.

I am just over 5 feet tall and the shortest person in my family save the little kids. I don't care that much, except for being able to reach stuff or I'd love to go to target and buy a long skirt without looking like morticia addams. My DS takes after me (but his dad is not super tall either DH is only 5'6") and is about 5'5". He HATES being so short. Whines about it constantly. Asks me all the time if I think he will grow more.

I am 5’ 8.5” and haven’t lost height yet. My mom and dad were both 5’ 8” but got a lot shorter as they aged. My sister is about four inches shorter than I am and my brother is over 6’ tall.
I like my height, but wouldn’t mind being an inch or two taller. I had always dated tall guys (well over 6 feet) until I met my husband.
My husband was about my height, maybe a little shorter, but he had short legs and arms and a longer torso. His inseam was a couple inches shorter than mine but he looked taller sitting down.
I have a cousin who is 6’ 5” and married a woman who is 6’ tall. Their son is at least 6’ 6” now, and their daughter is taller than her mom.

Just shy of 5'9". It's good. I am the tallest of the six kids in my family, including three males. One daughter is 5'11", one 5'9" and one 5'8". My husband is 6'2" or 6'3".

I'm 5'7 which is generally considered tall for a hispanic. My parents are both tall too, and are mostly taller than the rest of our relatives on both sides.
I am happy with my height. I can reach for things, I don't have to stare at people's backs at concerts (generally) and pants and maxi dresses never need any adjusting. DH is 5'11 so I am surprised our girl is petite, she's going to max out around 5'3.

I'm 5' 8 1/2" and I wish I was a little bit taller..... .(I wish I was a baller....I wish I had a girl who looked good; I would call her.....). I'd love to be 5/10 or 5/11. Dangit for getting that song in my head! LOL!
