I'm 6'4" (~193 cm) basically on the mark. (A recent doctor's visit put me at like 6'6," but I had shoes on, so it didn't really count.) I won't say that my height is absolutely ideal (with it being borderline too tall), but I wouldn't say that I'm insecure about it or anything of the sort. 6'4" is alright, and I'm happy with it. I don't see much of a point being unsatisfied with it either given as how I'm stuck with it.
Granted, I'm glad I'm not any taller and that I'm at least taller than my sister (who is a little past 6'). Now that I think of it, I think I'm strangely taller than everyone in my [abnormally large] extended family apart apart from one uncle who married in.
Overall I think it usually works out well. Women tend to be shorter, men taller. Men like women to be shorter, women usually like the guy to be taller. I am 6' 3". For me, the "perfect" range for women is 5' 7" to 5' 10". but I would be fine with her being up to 6' tall. I have never come across a woman that I was interested in that was that tall. I have dated a few that were 5' - 5' 2". That was just too short and it was a little awkward. But if she is the right one, not so bad that it is a deal breaker.
Not really. I'm short, but so are plenty of other people in the world. And sure, I see lots of short girls say how their dreams of being models can only be dreams, but there are thousands of other trades out there which don't care about height, so I'd rather aim for one of those trades.
I'm about 156-159cm I'm not really sure anymore, but if grow taller that would be nice, and if I don't there's no point crying about it because being short can also have its advantages, as does being tall.
Yes. I'm 5'2, and thats below average for the UK (5'4 is average here).
Its embarrassing to me because I was never short as a child for my age. I was actually slightly taller than most girls. So when I was around 14 I started to realise everyone is growing taller. And since then it's been a whole new characteristic of myself to accept and get use to.
I hate it. I would like to be around 5'5 ideally.

This is the one physical aspect of myself that I have never been insecure about. I'm tall, and have been even as a kid. I was and still am teased relentlessly about it, people came up with nicknames about my height, but oddly enough, despite being made fun of the most for it, that never bothered me. I loved and still love my height. I really wish I could feel that way about all of me, but if this is the one thing, then I'll definitely take it.
I am 5'9 and am very happy with my height. I have noticed people's insecurities too. It effects more young people though, like a lot of insecurities. As you get older you accept who you are more and stop caring what others think as much.
yes i’m a 4’11 and 3/4th and inch (almost 5’0) and i wish i was taller so i could pull off more outfits or look more my age. i wish i was just a few inches taller to be around the average height.
No, I love my height. I was once insecure about it in the 6th grade because I was one of the tallest or the tallest girl amongst the six graders and some girls questioned about me possibly being held back a grade because I was so tall.
LOL yes of course i’m so tall i hate it!! I’m 5’11” and it’s really hard especially since i’m a teenager and I just feel awkward. I know people don’t don’t care as much as i do but people ask me my height in grocery stores, hanging out at the mall, in a group setting and by teen boys. I feel embarrassed and i can’t hide from it.
Women shame men for not being tall enough for them “DONT bother if you’re less less than 5’10”
But if a guy says “don’t bother unless you’re less than 150lbs“ women lose their shit
Nope, however I have some days when I would like to be shorter and days when I would like to be taller. But at the end of the day I'm content with being 168cm tall.
No, I used to feel bit awkward about being taller because I received lot of attention.. but I don't mind being tall anymore :)
Nope. I'm 5'6" and content- not too big, not too small
Now my weight is a different beast; we won't discuss that, lol
Not really. Only when everyone else in the group is one head taller.
I used to be really insecure about my height (I'm 5'10 or 178cm) during my teenage years and my early twenties but I'm kind of fine with it by now. Its not as if I could change it anyway.
I'm 160cm (5'3) and I'd love to be at least 165cm but it seems like that will never happen.
I am insecure about my height, but as literally everyone around me is taller, I'm getting used to it.
I used to be. My husband is pretty tall and he loves how small I am. That makes me like it.
We have fun having this height difference.
I’m 5’2 he’s 6’2
Not at all I’m 5’10”/177cm and I love it, I don’t care that most guys prefer short or chubby girls and yesss I still wear heels regardless
Not really, I'm 5'9". I won't lie, it is frustrating when I people write me off for my height, but after a while, I'll come to the realization that I was better off without someone like that.
I'm 174cm and in my country it's pretty standard, but then I'm surrounded by taller people and my girlfriend is 179cm.
I'm shorter, don't love it... I'd like 2 inches for various reasons, not girls necessarily. but I'm content and like to keep what I have!:)
Nope. I was 6'3" by about 8th grade. It seemed fine then, and it still seems fine. I never cared about my height.
I am 5.8" (173) and although most people say that it is fine, sometimes even tall, I want to be taller like 5.10" (178) or 5.11" (183)
u I'm 6'1". My pediatrician told my parents that I'd be 6'5" or 6". I'm happy where I am.
