Whatever works. I hear they won't let you into pediatrics unless you are at least 5'7". Apparently they don't think shorties can earn the respect of children, who just so happen to be vertically challenged as well.

Lol. Well I'm not short so apparently I don't have a terrible sense of humor.
(right.......?)

Hey, well at least you can get a job at Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. The best job I can hope for is working at a grocery store, getting items off of the top shelves for the vertically challenged.
You never had to deal with the extremely frequent questions about whether I play Basketball. To answer them I always referred to my complete incompetence at Basketball, Volleyball, Tennis, etc...
Haha. When I found out my roommate for my freshman year was 5'11" one of my first comments was "oh, cool! You can get stuff off high shelves for me!" 😀 I offered to get things off of low shelves for her, but I don't think my lack of height was quite as exciting
(I'm 5'3" ish with shoes)

Maybe you could have offered her some of that delicious chocolate that you secretly brought home from work?
Well, considering she had plans to be a sports nutritionist and very concerned with her health, I'm not sure she would have eaten them. If I had offered carrot sticks, maybe... 😉

Us shorties never get respect. 🙁 However, at least I have the qualifications to work at Willy Wonka and for a chocolate freak like me, that's the real dream job. 😀

Just don't end up like Augustus Gloop. Its probably better if you stick to making the chocolate, not eating it okay?
So are you one of those protesters at Berkeley? How do you get into the trees if you cant reach the branches?
I think I'm having too much fun here.

Good thing I'm 6'5". I feel kind of bad for you super tall chicks. Tall guys seem to gravitate towards shorter girls a lot. No idea what that is.
My older brother is 5'6" and my dad is 5'10". The next tallest person in my entire family is 5'11", that includes extended family. I get a lot of milk man jokes.
Same here, I was constantly asked this growing up and my basketball skills are absolutely abysmal!!!

Sadly about the same amount of options as tall women... assuming that you don't like creepy short guys that have a thing for tall women (there are way too many guys like this that come up to me just because I am very tall).
I'm a heightist, what can I say?
5'4" female here. Yes, thank goodness for heels!😀
Stilts!
They don't look very safe or comfortable for that matter.
And besides, judging from that picture, it looks like they went out of fashion several centuries ago.

My range is probably 5'0" - 6'4." That is not to say that there is not room to work above and below that range lol.

Being only 5'2, it's entertaining watching me play basketball. I throw the ball to the hoop and it doesn't even reach the net half the time
Ohh no! 5'8 is where I draw the line for my women! Unless it's a model. 😎
under 6 foot for me, but im 6'2.

I tend to enjoy being with someone that I can see eye to eye with (literally.) However, I have no problem with someone shorter or slightly taller than I am. To each their own.
5.05" (1.54cm)
Asian chinese. Not too short in my country. 😀

since when is 5'4'' considered short for a woman? last i checked it was spot on the average. heck even 5'2'' people, stop wining you are very close to average.
im 5'4'' and about 5'7'' in heels, very much comfortable with my height. if i was 5'7'' without heels i doubt i would want to ever wear them as they would make me 5'10'', an inch taller than the average man : /

Ehh, I wear heels if I feel like it but generally I wear flats or my old Converse sneakers

Haha, yes they probably would...
But I wear heels occasionally, since being 6'3" and entering a room really draws attention immediately!
No worries..People are pretty cool in the Bay Area!
