How tall are you and are you happy with your height?
 Do you think with couples, the man should be taller?  I'm only 5 foot and wouldn't mind a couple of inches in height, but any taller and I wouldn't be me.   |

Lucky you, Grace! That's a perfect height for a woman. Tall women always look much more elegant than half-pints like me.
Another advantage to having the height is that a bit of extra weight doesn't show as much whereas if you're as short as I am, an extra pound is like a stone! |

I'm 5'9. My husband, daughter and son are all over 6'. I've never had a problem with being tall, only wish my children felt the same.

I'm 5'3", 'B&C' is about 5'7". One of my daughters is taller than I am but that's from her dad's side, I guess. Though my grandfather and his brother were tall - 6' or so.

I am 5' 6" but I feel like Mini Mouse when with Ivor who is 6' 2" and my boys who are both 6' 3". I feel safe and protected.
 When I was young I wore 5" heels so when I danced I usually had a good view of my partner's dandruff while he whispered sweet nothings to my boobs.   Growing old gracefully is O.K. but growing old disgracefully is much more fun.

6'0" . . . only thing is that I am taller than my siblings. My oldest sister is only 5'4". I wish I was 6'7" so I could play basketball and slam dunk. :)

Of course Rudo is taller than me since everyone is anyway.  "> He's 5' 7 1/2"
I was always worried that my children (especially my sons because men want to be taller) would turn out to be really short like me so I did everything in my power to ensure they had a good, staple diet filled with loads of calcium for bone development. I only let them drink milk (fizzy drinks were out, except for special occasions) and it paid off because they are both a decent height at around 5' 8" and have excellent teeth.

I'm 5'3" and a bit. I'd like to be about 5'6 maybe, and please, add most of those inches to my legs!

There you go Lyndsey. It even comes complete with arrows to tell you which end to stand on.
 No, no - I insist -theres no need to thank me.  After all, what are friends for?

Rudo, well that looks a heck of a lot safer than the high heels I've been wearing!

Well, seeing as my husband is a good height for me, I guess I can let you have the box back. Somehow I don't think the legs of my pants are going to cover it so I won't be fooling anybody anyway.

 Yeah, I was thinking the same. It might be a good idea if you're into bell bottoms but not so good with drainpipes or skirts. |
