    170cm’ here. As a woman I wish I was shorter. I’m taller than my friends and too shy to stick out so much from the pack.

    My husband is the same height too, and it would be a small bonus to be a touch shorter than him imo. But that doesn’t really bother me at all (and I totally dont view it as a problem with him in any way).

    Why is everyone (except OP) in this thread so tall?

    Anyways, I’m about 5’0". Not being able to reach things gets pretty frustrating.

    One mildly bad thing bad about being exactly 6 feet tall is that when men lie about their height, they often use my height, so I wonder if people think I’m lying.

    It’s like how people named John Smith must feel when they say their name.

    Somewhere between 5’10 - 5’11’, perfectly average. Everything designed in the US is designed for me and I don’t stand out in a crowd.

    Pretty awesome.

    5’5 / 165cm. Finding brands that fit me took a few decades.

    I came to terms with my height a long time ago, but other people didn’t. I am glad I am married and not on dating apps anymore, because it was filled with profiles with the exclamation “Needs to be 6ft tall”

    What’s the point of being unsatisfied?

    Being unsatisfied is unpleasant. So I’ve got two options:

    Changing my mind is hard. Changing my height is borderline impossible.

      Young people can struggle with this until they realize how thoroughly fucked we all are. There’s a weird culture of height significance in dating that’s a pretty entrenched meme at this point. So it’s something there is a lot of insecurity around it.

      Your view is the correct one, of course, we just need to fucking deal with what we are aka “have the grace to accept the things I cannot change”.

    192cm / 6’3”

    I’d say it’s been a pretty good height, though I bang my head a lot if I travel to countries with average heights on the lower end.

    Possibly the main downside is things like kitchens and work surfaces in general could do with an extra 15-20cm of height for me to not mess up my back using them for any period of time.

    Actually my back in general is the main downside, I feel like shorter people don’t need to put half of the extra care into not accidentally waking up with crippling pain the next day.

    Edit: others in the thread have mentioned clothes, getting a non-loose-fit look together can be tough without ending up with inadvertent crop tops

    Edit 2: oh god and I basically can’t fly using normal economy seats if I don’t want to end up with bruised knees

    5’10" - as far as I’m concerned, the ideal height. A little above average but not so tall that it gets in the way.

    176 cm (5’ 9 1/2"). I used I be 179 cm (5’ 10 1/2") but I’ve gotten shorter as I got older.

    It’s how tall I am. I don’t care either way.

    193cm 6’4"

    It’s good to be tall, but also shopping for clothes can suck sometimes. Also I know I won’t live as long as I would if I were shorter.

      You might be too big for American Giant (shirts aren’t quite long enough) but American Tall does “double tall” sizes. Both sell other big/tall size stuff, but just finding plain tshirts that are long enough was the big hassle.

      For outerwear a lot of “work brands” like Carhartt make big and tall sizes and their stuff holds up well.

      But yeah, being tall and liking a baggier fit sucks. Unless you’re shopping speciality stores it’s almost impossible to find stuff long enough .

    I’m 6’2. It’s a height that women seem to like, but I don’t need to duck to get through doors.

    So yeah, it’s ideal.
