5'8" and I'm pretty okay with it, wish I was maybe 2 inches taller though.
Are you happy with your height?

Yeah, but the classy thing to do is not insult people back at all. Nobody should be making anyone feel worthless because of their height or weight, regardless of how they got that way.
I'm right in the pocket of average weight and height, so I just see assholes on either side of the coin. But if you wanna rage at women casually acting like short men are subhuman nothings, there's always https://twitter.com/heightismxposed, or just catch some quick Ls by searching for "short guys" on Twitter. People say toxic shit, like, openly.

6'4 and yes. Used to wish I was shorter but noy anymore.
I had some really rapid grow spurts during my early teens and being around 6'2 at 14 was pretty awkward.

Damn, some of those people.... wow. I didn't want to rage. But yes. That kind of behaviour does get me into a rage. Damn... If you're short, don't read.
And ofcourse: don't insult. Stay classy.
But in this case it was funny (and worrying) to see her not even being aware that she probably hurt someones feelings and then got all sad and mad when someone returned the favour.

I'm 5'5 and I've never been all that insecure about it. I've never been bullied for it, and I'd say it has actually been an advantage throughout my school life.
Now my slight lisp, that's one thing I'd like to change. Ladies seem to love it though!

Well... I wish I was a little bit taller, wish I was a balla, wish I had a girl who looked good (I would call her)
It was more that that picture blew up and the internet does what it does best: be creepy and shitty. That being said she was shitty, and that meninist twitter is hot garbage incarnate. Be excellent to each other.
I'm 185 which I'm pretty happy with, feels like you get most of the advantages of being tall without too many of the disadvantages. I wish I was slightly shorter though because I still hit my head on too many doorways especially when travelling abroad, like London public transport felt like an exercise in never standing straight.

Quite happy.
Even without being particularly tall, I still tower over so many people and if I carry myself correctly, no guy looks twice haha.

Well, we could start with just being a decent human being and work our way up to being excellent ;P
Because lisping is super cute. :3
For all the people here who wish they would gain 1 inch or so, are you aware that you could actually gain it with good stretching exercises ? It's not unusual to see people who exercise regularly slightly increase their height because they have better posture and joints and vertebrae are stretched regularly. Try it ! At least it'll be good for your health.

Serious answer? No no no.
I am very unsecured about my height (1.82m in guessing its about 5'11 and a half oe something) especially since my little brother is way taller than me (1.87m).
It's defentiley not helping with the ladies. They want someone taller I guess.
I don't mean to offend anyone shorter than this in any way, just my personal feeling based on my country's boys/girls height stuff.

i don't care. i thought for years that i was 5ft 11 but i'm actually only 5ft 8.
i think it's a good height i suppose. people often ask me to pick stuff off shelves for them but i still gotta tippy toe sometimes. best of both worlds.

5'10", would like to have been a couple of inches taller, at least so I could say I was 6'.
And at the rate my younger siblings are growing I'm probably gonna end up being the shortest ;_;

You're insecure about being 1.82cm tall? Seriously? That's pretty tall dude, no woman ever will complain about that unless she wants a giant or is a giantess herself.

6'5. Buying clothes can be a challenge so I tend to do most of my shopping abroad where it's much easier to find shit that doesn't make me look like a dweeb. At least less of a dweeb!
I used to think I was 5'11 because I was 178 or so CM and calculated based on how on most rulers 12 inches = 30 CM but when I inputted my data on an online conversion site it turns out I was shorter than that and more close to 5'10. Same with my weight. I thought I was 140 pounds because I used to just double KG to pound but it turns out I was 150. Wish the difference was reversed, heh.

I'm the perfect height for my gender, 5'6", which is at the edge of the range for normal (standard deviation) heights for women.
My brother-in-law was projected to be 5'2" in his adulthood, but was put on growth hormones through early puberty and is now 5'11" tall. It was an expensive process but he and his family are very happy with the results.
