I'm 5'8. Tall to me is a woman who is 5'10 and above.

I like being my height. I would love to be taller - about 5'10 would be great.

Exact same here.

Me, three (four?).

I am 5-11.

Hated it as a teen and have grown to love it. The only downside at the younger age is the desire to just blend in and look like everyone else.

I believe it seriously helps professionally.

Yes I have always loved being tall. I am nearly six foot.

14:09 - 5'7" is tall-ish, but not really tall. It's not a bad place to be.

You can't date someone shorter than you? Is that a rule I missed?

Same here, pretty much. Although it took much longer to appreciate my height -- way past 20s. Tall does look better if you can find the right fit. unless you are overweight and flat chested, which I always feared made me look masculine or like a closeted tranny. So, there is incentive to watch your weight. As for clothes, it took me a long time to figure out that there are some styles you MUST avoid due to height (Can't always follow every trend)

I'm 5'9 and love it!

Hell yeah, clothes look better on tall women. [Sorry shorties! ]

I'm 5'8", and I've always wanted to be 5'9".

I will say that it seems that a lot of tall guy like short women. That used to be a point of frustration for me, but I don't care much any more. A tall woman commands attention when she walks into a room.

I love wearing short skirts and shoes with heels. I also get a kick out of towering over short men.

I'm 5'7.5". I like being on the taller side of average but would love to be like 5'10" or 5'11".

The pants. That's really the only part that is troublesome. I'm only 5'8" but I've got long legs. Everyone thinks I'm way taller than I am because I'm basically all legs. A giraffe.

I wear 3-5" heels without issue. I love shoes.

Always dated taller men. I like looking up to kiss my honey.

Yes, I love being tallish.

6'0" here. I like it most of the time, but buying clothing (pants especially since I need 36-38" inseam) is a challenge.
