You're short, but that's awesome, and I'll tell you why.
I'm an inch taller than you and I'm still considered short. It used to bother me, but then I figured out that most guys actually really like short girls. We have a much broader dating pool to choose from than taller girls. Most girls like a guy that is taller than them, and will pass over really attractive guys that don't clear six feet. Well, a guy that's 5'7 is plenty tall for me, and I can still wear heels, so bring it on! Guys also tend to shy away from asking taller girls out if they are on the shorter side themselves, so we're super approachable for them.
The taller guys like us too, so we can date them as well. I dated a guy that was 6'8, and he had no problem bending down to kiss me. Last guy I dated was 6'4, and he didn't mind either. Plus we have the built in line of asking them guys to get stuff down from the high shelves, and believe me I milk that for all it's worth.
We tend to look... more endowed with less, because we are smaller. The same measurements on a taller girl wouldn't have the same effect it does on us. While it's true that we might not have legs that go on for days, I'd rather have a nice rack and other assets personally.
So yeah, you're short, but rock it and go be awesome!
I'm 5'1" and adore my height. I can date any man of any height that I desire, I only have to loose 5 pounds to look like a completely different person. Life in the bedroom is way more fun. You're probably adorable, maybe not threatening, but women idealize being petite. Embrace it (:
Pfft you ain't short, I'm 4"11, 16 years old , been this way since 14.. and PROUD OF IT. Most men I've talked to, PREFER short girls to tall ones
Stop wishing for what can't ever happen, and USE WHAT YOU DO HAVE.
Your beautiful at any height or shape you are. There is no such thing as being too short or too tall and its normal to worry and feel self conscious about one's physical appearance just don't let it bring you down. Instead take a good hard look at yourself in a mirror and accept and embrace yourself for who you are and how you look. Take the confidence that comes from accepting yourself for who you are and carry it around with you everywhere you go. You will surely light up a room and stand out among a crowd, your height will not matter. And if you're worried about finding a guy, dont be, because there is someone out there for everyone and whenever you begin to let that confidence show the love that you have for yourself, it will be contagious and it will make someone else feel the same way towards you.
I love short girls, they are much easier to pick up and carry around haha plus they are so damn cute I can't help myself lol

I think it's common for shirt girls to want to be tall. A lot of times tall girls want to be short too. I think that's a good height though. If you were 5'9 you would be average height for a guy which I think would think lowers your options. You can't have everything. At least almost all guys are taller.
Why would you wish for such a thing? It's a well-known fact that women prefer guys taller than them, especially when they're in heels. So if you were 5'9" or 5'10" then guys who are that height are automatically disqualified based on being "short" by comparison.
While there IS something incredibly attractive about tall girls - and it's not just legs, but the overall gorgeous look and presence they often have - being short has it advantages too. You have more guys to choose from. You can feel small with a 5'9 guy. Just don't be aggressive or pushy - I'm not AT ALL saying that *you* are, I've just noticed that short girls often develop such behavior and it's a turn off.
Well I'm 5'3 and 21
& In the US average height for a woman is 5'3-5'4
Your thing says your from the UK and I don't think theirs is that different than ours.
You're only a couple inches shorter, you're fine.
I don't think there is a "height requirement" to be a woman (neither a man), so you're not too short. I'm 23 years old, 4'11 and I have a vagina, I think that's enough to make me a woman haha :P
Talking to men about height preference, most have said they prefer petite woman under 5'5 as they are cute. Tall woman in their opinion are not as they appear more masculine. So if you are only 5'2 enjoy it, you can wear heals, tall woman just look like giants.
If it makes you feel better, I'm already 18 (yet for some reason my profile has it as underage) and only 5'1. I've been that height since I was 14. Most guys don't really care and even find that cute.
i came here to ruin the 20/20 experience that was happening up in here:P
no its not too short=] too short is probably under 5 ft i reckon, lol. its still cute tho.
We are of the same height. Why do you hate it?
Speaking for myself, I don't like it or hate it. I am just indifferent to it.
It has it's prons and it's cons. Like everything else.
personally i don't like 5'2" girls sorry LOL
but don't worry i'll be realistic, thee are many guys -unfortunately grrrr- who like shorter girls. so don't worry
I'm the same height as you and most guys love this height! :) be proud of your height it's a good thing :)
5'2 is a little less than average height for a girl. I don't know what it's like to be average height, I am 5'11 myself lol.
I love short women! I'm 6'2 and I prefer shorter women. You can pick them up and give them piggyback rides. I like women under 5'6.
LOL HELL NO!!! If you think 5'2 is short, look at me, I'm 4'10
It's alright. I knew girls about your height. They still looked fine because they always dressed well.
I dont you need to worry your height my GF Hannah is the same height besides like others said its just fun to pick you up and carry you at that height hehe me -5.8ft Hannah 5.2ft
the average in the uk is around 5'5 or 5'4 so you're not too short but you are technically shorter than average by a couple inches
Guys actually love short and tall girls but mainly short I've seen because they're easy to pick up and are easy to cuddle completely..
I would hope not... im only 4'11 which sucks at times, especially at an amusement park. I couldn't get on one ride in the entire park and it was embarrassing.
no... i'm 5'. my mom is like 4'11. i think my sister is 4'10. we're all women.
