    I hate being small, you can't put on a few pounds without looking dumpy. There's just nowhere to hide it !
    I envy all you 6 footers, all those long legs and arms.....
    look jos 28.Its not the size counts its your peronality etc.
    dont let your size bother you. Your still human like all of us.
    ive seen small people in shops and when i see them having trouble getting what they want i always have the manner to ask them if they need help.
    i feel great to help and im sure him/her would.:)

    Seriously, shopping is a huge problem. I have been known to climb the supermarket shelves like someone scaling Mount Everest just to get stuff off the top shelf. Wish everyone was as helpful as you.

    6ft 5" and love it.

    Would never judge a girl on her height - my ex was tiny but found (and find!) her more attractive than the majority of tall birds!

    Sometimes I wish I was taller, but then I hear all the tall girls complaining about being tall :o

    its a shame that someone does'nt help.
    the only thing i can sudjest is that can you ask the shop assistant to help you with that.
    Afterall they are paid to help customers.
    Dont be emmbarresed to ask for help.
    When you do have the courage to ask il gaurantee you feel alot better and you will feel tall having done that:)

    I'm 5' 7 and a half". The half is very important to me, i think its a good height, not too small and not too tall to wear heels.

    I'm younger than you and even I accept I'm past my prime.
    *then laughs as Abigayle asks "what's that dearie, speak up"*
    :D
    You're not knackered out;) but once you hit the low 20s you do actually begin to slowly shrink.:(

    Or else you might feel pathetic for having had to ask someone else to do it for you...

    Climbing Everest FTW, I'd respect a girl who had the guts to do that!

    Fukkin hell.I'm just looking at the heights of some blokes on here.when i was a kid in the 1970's people over 6 foot were very rare,6 foot 4 was exclusive to coppers and weirdos in snorkel jackets who had to duck down to get into shops.When i hit 5 10 at age 22 or thereabouts i was the tallest person in the history of my family,now my 25 year old sister is at least an inch taller and i regularly see girls over 6 ft in work.We're heading upwards folks,i wonder what the average height will be in 60 years..

    Apparently most guys lie about their height. Something like guys at 5'10 or 11 will always say they are 6 foot.

    I'm 183cm according to the doctor but I usually walk slightly stooped so look around 5'10/11.

    Male, 5ft 10ins, and you REALLY don't want to know how heavy I am! When my sister got married I was only 11, and her hubby was 6ft 8ins! It was always my ambition to be as tall/taller than him, don't think I'm gonna make it now, unless I start sleeping in a growbag!

    He also has size 16 shoes! He ran the london marathon a few times and wanted the proper shoes, he had to go down to clarks shoe factory to get some specially made! I'm 42, have size 10left size 10 1/2 right shoes! and very long fingers! People say I should be a pianist, but I can stretch from ¬ to backspace on my laptop so it works for me!
