Are most short women fat? And are most tall women skinny?

Question

I have noticed that most short women are chubbier and more plump and or just fat. And most tall women are skinnier or just look skinnier because they are taller. 

This is making me really upset cause I just wish I was taller. Because almost all short people get fat when they are older and I'm short and this is so depressing. 

I was crying for so long because I don't want to be fat even though I'm skinny I just don't want to be a fat old lady at 55. 
Or even 25

Is it true? Am I right? Or are my observations wrong?

Not necessarily. However weight stretches out more (for lack of a better word) the taller you are. Weight gain is less noticeable on a tall person. Weight also looks very different on a taller person vs. a shorter person. My 5'9 best friend is 120 lbs., I'm 5'5 and 115 lbs. Yet, she can fit into size double zero clothes, whereas I'm in size ones and twos.

Being short or tall doesn't actually have to do with what size you are, it simply means that if you DO gain weight, being short, it will be more noticeable and you may look stumpy.

I'm short as fuck 4'11 and people say I look really thin. My mama is also short and thin.
I guess it depends on the person. Some people are just meant to have a bit bigger bodies. Also, if a person is shorter, yes. If they put on weight, you'll see it more. Why? There's less space to spread the weight out. If a tall person gains weight, you won't see it as much as they're bodies are much taller and have more area to spread it out.

I don't think you should worry so much about "being fat". You should focus about being healthy.

Just fint over eat then you won't get fat. Taller orople can eat more bc they weigh more to support their frame. so that's part of it. But a lot of tall prople are fat and a lot of shirt people are thin. Just don't eat too much.

Figure out how much food you need to maintain your current weight and don't go beyond it. That's ALL you gotta do. Excessive is good if you want to be toned. But if you don't want to be fat then eat only enough to be thin.

You just can easily tell when a short person gains weight versus a tall person. That doesn't mean that because you're short you'll get fat. Height doesn't affect weight.

When I go to the mall and places in Miami most of the girls that are short are fat. The Cubans here do eat a lot of cuban food so that does not help them and yes tall girls are lean

I agree with this with south Asians due epigenetics we all get plumper as we get older even when eating healthy etc. but we have a lot of tall woman in our family and I’m 35 and technically overweight according to my scales but people think im skinny, and I gym 4 to 5 times a week.

No, it's just an illusion. Taller people have more room for fat distribution.
