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 : /

Word to that! I'm 5'9 and by some cruel twist of fate, most heels I like are AT LEAST 3 inches tall. A friend bought me an awesome pair once but in them I'm 6'1...so I don't wear them often.

It sure feels short without heels. 😛

I can't wear heels. Court order prohibits me.

Not really, I just hate them 😀

But yes, my grandmother is about 4'7". She makes me feel tall. And I am probably above average height for my ethnicity (5'2").

True, heels take some getting used to. Wedges aren't too bad, though! 😉

My interview shoes are only 2 inches high... so I'll only be 6'2" for interviews. I just didn't like how I looked in a suit and flats. Lets just hope that interviewers aren't physically intimidated by my height.

I'm somewhere between six even and six one and I've always considered myself a little on the short side...I'm actually a little Napoleanic about it too

I'm about 5'6'' guy and 20 years old. Anyone know if I will be able to grow some more? I heard somewhere that guys grow until they are 25 or something.
I hate my short height and I swear, if I could grow some inches, I could think of nothing that could make me happier( except getting into a top medical school of course).

You could wear boots more often, they add 3-4 inches don't they?
Or go through hormone therapy to make you taller (2-3inches)

I am around 5'11. I wish I was 6'7. I could dominate the pick u games. Maybe even make NBA. Luckily, there are no pre-interview measurements for med school.

I'm 6'4". Wanna switch heights? Have fun finding pants and shirts that are long enough for your arms/legs. 😀

5'6" is not short. Really!

Don't have kids until at least after the residency. By that time, she most likely won't be your girlfriend, not trying to hurt your feelings of course.

I know a couple who are around 5 foot and 5'3" respectively, and their children are like mice. It is so adorable.

Nothing wrong with being short.

5'8 male. Dad is 5'11 and mom is 5'3. I guess I got the asian genes since my mom is asian and dad is white.

I sorta hate that Im on the short side, but I always look at myself as being average for asian and below average for white. But not *short*.

Plus I've seemed to make the cutoff for height requirements for girls. Alot of girls I know dont mind 5'7-5'8. That seems to be the cutoff on the height thing. Once u get down to 5'5 and 5'6 it gets alot alot alot harder to get dates.

I've had many dates g/fs so i guess im lucky? :/
