Wrong.

75% 5'5.63"
90% 5'6.97"
99% 5'9.72"

How tall are you?

I am 5'8" and unless someone is 5'2" or less I don't feel that all, but if I focus on it I realize I am usually one of the taller/tallest women in the room.

I will say that I think the younger generations - Z and Alpha - are taller. We went to Arctic Monkeys at Meriweather and I felt short.

I’m a petite woman at 5’2”. Growing up I didn’t appreciate it very much. As an adult who is attracted to taller men, it works out well.

I love being tall and wish I was even taller (I'm 5'7"). I love wearing heels.

It probably bugs shorter men, and men who are insecure. Okay, I know it does. Who cares? My DH is 6'1", which isn't even crazy tall on a man, but he wears it well. I like that we are close in height when I wear heels. I think we turn heads when we dress up and walk in a room. My DH likes it too.

I get disliking being tall if you are a kid who has an early growth spurt and you tower over the other kids. But as an adult, it's nice to stand out in this way, and being tall makes people view you as more capable (unfairly, I know, but it's true) and self-assured. It's like a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Are you one of those women who is with some guy a foot and a half taller and likes how you look like he could tuck you in his pocket? That's weird.

Though it's true some tall guys have a weird fetish for short women.

I’m 6’ 3” male. My sis is 5’ 10” and she seems tall to me. I know 5’ 8” is above average for women, but that doesn’t look tall to me.

My present significant other is a magnificent 6’6” I have no problem when she wears heels
and I don’t think feel for moment that i’m creepy, just feel very fortunate that this fabulous woman takes no issue and yes her fingers are a bit longer, however we both have a shoe size 12 and she has no problem lowering herself to hug and kiss me when we are standing and loves putting her arms on top of my shoulders and seems to take all the looks and comments in stride as I do.

Guys a creepy person revived this old thread. Let it die.

I don’t date manlets if that’s what you’re asking. I prefer men over 6 feet like most women and am not afraid to admit it.

You sound like a bitter tall troll lady or short little man.

It took the boys at school forever to catch up to me in height and then I moved here where the guys aren't that tall either. You have to watch your weight because if you get too big, you start resembling Dorothy from the Golden Girls, which isn't exactly sexy.

Then at one point, women started wearing high heels with their jeans - I credit Sex and the City - and manufacturers started making jeans and pants in more lengths. All of a sudden, my pants weren't borderline high-water anymore. Game changer.

At 44, I've apparently started shrinking! According to my doctor, I'm now 5'7 and 3/4. I'm cool with it.

Yep I like being tall. Occasionally, I have run-ins at work with men with Napoleon complexes. I will always wear my highest heels when I have to deal with those jerks.

In my 50s I enjoy being tall, but in my teens and 20s it was difficult.

Basically a significant number of guys (usually the taller ones) weren't interested at all, mainly because of height. Happily married to a shorter guy, since I'm 5'10" and basically the height of an average male.
