Are you happy with your height?

I'm 5'7. Could do with a few more inches to reach stuff more easily but otherwise I'm cool with my height. My siblings are all way taller, especially my brother and sister.
 
I'm roughly 6'5" (196 cm) so definitely happy. Human psychology is fun, it's very noticeable how you can verbally overpower others when you stand tall and are generally more imposing.
 
5'6" 1/2, and I don't really think about my height. Maybe it's because I'm Asian and it's considered fine :P Never really had a bad experience because of it, and most girls around here are shorter anyway. Plus, it's the sweet spot for air travel :D
 
5'6 1/2 - wouldn't want to be any taller. My girlfriend is 5'2 and I tower over her enough as it is. Plus I can comfortably fit into any car and I don't think I'd love my BRZ if I was a tall person.

Buncha weird tall giants in here.
 
I juuuuust make 5'4". I'm not unhappy, but I always feel a bit at a disadvantage when playing sports. My reflexes are good, but I had no future as a 5'4" goalkeeper in soccer. :(
 
I'm the tallest woman I personally know at around 182cm (just under 6') and the tallest in my immediate family so I am content with my height. I don't run into a heck of a lot of people that tower over me, and I can reach whatever I need on my own unlike my poor older sister who is roughly 20 centimetres shorter than me.
 
At 6'5", yeah, I'm pretty happy with it. Sometimes I wish I was a couple of inches shorter just to avoid the occasional issue with cars or shitty door frames, but it's not that big a deal. I get to look down on almost everyone.
 
As an asian male at 5'5", yeah I generally am. Yeah there are times where I wish I were taller but most girls I'm attracted to (including the one I'm dating atm) are around my height or shorter. Plus I tend to be make jokes of it such as when a girl I date decides to wear heels and gets half an inch to and inch in extra height to me.
 
I'm 6'0" so I guess that's taller than most people but I always feel short. 6'1" would be perfect for me, I think.
 
6'3" and its not too bad now that i've been exercising consistently. I used to hate being this tall back when I was unhealthy. Not anymore
Certain things are a pain, mostly flying, and the fact that I suck at basketball, but otherwise I'm fine.
 
204cm, male and I'm generally happy about my height. Great view at the stage at concerts, arguments usually resolve in my favor, etc.

Shopping for clothes is a bitch though, as is finding a car that fits both me and my family. Furniture is never suited for me, and especially beds are a nightmare.
 
5'11"

I wish I was at least 6'0" so it wouldn't be so awkward when people don't believe me when I tell them that I'm not 6' tall...
 
I'm currently at 155cm/5'1 (or thereabouts). As a teenager, I always wanted to be taller... the average height for Australian females (164cm last time I checked) would have been enough for me - particularly since the majority of my friends were over 170cm, and the ones who were shorter were only a couple of centimetres shy of that. It also didn't help that I was the butt of a lot of short jokes considering I was pretty much the shortest in my cohort. But that's high school for you.

Nowdays, I'm much more accepting towards my height. I still complain to my mother how I inherited her genes since my sisters and I are similar in height and body type to her though.
 
I'm 5' and I'm fine with it. Though it is annoying when I can't reach something and I almost always have to add the cost of hemming any pants I buy since they are too long.

I do feel like some bizarre giant when I am actually taller than someone.
 
I'm basically 6ft and my fiance is only like a half inch shorter than me. Everything she wears heals she's taller than me so I would take a few inches.
 
5'11" and you need to be taller? Get over it.
There are plenty of people shorter than you here who would benefit from another few inches (like meeee)

I'm not unhappy about my height, but I'm convinced my life would be marginally better as far as romance, opportunities, respect, etc, had I another several inches.

Oh well, what can ya do. I'm not worried about it. Been living at this height most of my life!
