The height compare

[wannalivethetruth]

am i the only one that walks through the store comparing my height with the objects and people around me? I hate this. i feel so tall!!! Im not even 5'10 im more of 5'7 or 8.

[rexgsd]

i don't think that's tall at all. I am 5'6'', i wish i were taller!

[Clay]

dunno how tall people are in other corners of the world, but round here that'd be pretty average. i'm something like 6'0 and there are LOTS of girls my height.

[Cruelladeville]

in the Uk the average height for a chick be 5 ft 4 1⁄2 ins...

(I'm 5ft 9ins)... but like being tall...

The average height for a UK bloke be over 5ft 10ins though...

And German, Dutch and Norwegian chicks are on average the tallest in the world...

[Colleen Ireland]

I'm 5'11", and there are LOTS of GG's around here as tall or taller.  And at a recent gathering of friends (all transwomen), four of us discovered we are all the same height, more or less.  No biggie (pardon the pun...)

5'7 or 5'8 is a good height I think
Im 5'10 and I don't feel that tall, all my friends are around the same height as me and a few of them are even taller
I would not worry about your height
BTW im aussie and aussie girls seem to be pretty tall!

6'2" here, 5'7 - 5'8 doesn't seem that bad from this altitude 

[Maddie Secutura]

I'm 5'7" and it's not bad at all.  Depending on whom I was working with I could have been the tallest or the shortest in the kitchen at any given time.

[AweSAM!]

5'11", oh well, I live to see another day. My height stands out a bit, and I wish that I weren't so tall .

I'm 6'2" and I see I've got some good company...

I range from about 6'5 to 6'9, depending on how much my neck/back are bothering me for the day.  I'm not exactly pleased about this. 

[azSam]

I'm 5'7" - and I love it. I wouldn't mind being 5'5", but 5'7" is totally acceptable. Just avoid 5" heels.

[wannalivethetruth]

Tyyy alll. huggs!

[ClaireA]

I'm 5'10", which isn't bad, but it rules out wearing pumps. Which is sad because I luv pumps! 

[Michelle.]

I'm about 5'11". Taller than most women around me. However when out I don't have to look for long till I come across another girl who is around the same height as myself.

[QuestionMark]

I'm around 5'7, used to think I use 5'9, so I kind of wondered why most guys were taller than me, when I thought I was average.

First, you're a great height! Tall enough for clothes to hang nicely ... tall enough to be able to wear heels without towering over guys ... not so tall that you stand out from the crowd. Perfect!

Me, I'm 6ft ... not so great! But every time I walk through a crowded train station, or down a busy street or through any public place I'm always, always, ALWAYS looking out for women my height ... and as often as not I find them. Not many, I grant you, but I'm not alone and I have girlfriends who are taller than me.

I also have a list of famous, great-looking women of 5ft 11ins or more that I use to bolster my morale ... So take a bow Elle Macpherson, Nicole Kidman, Allison Janney, Uma Thurman, Geena Davis, Famke Janssen, Brooke Shields, Lena Olin, Kathryn Bigelow, Vanessa Redgrave, Rebecce Romijn, Kristanna Loken, Maria Sharapova, Taylor Swift ... etc, etc ... hell, I'll even throw in Ivana Trump, if I'm feeling desperate!

But do I pray that something in the HRT/transition process might make me one of the lucky ones who loses a couple of inches in height and at least one, maybe two shoe sizes (and I know girls for whom this has happened) ... of course I do! I would kill for 5ft 10ins and size 9/10 (UK/US) shoes ...

And in my totally unrealizable dreams 5ft 8ins would be absolutely PERFECT!!

[Maegan]

Here in South Africa we have a lot of tall women. It must be because most of us are from Dutch/German/Scandinavian descend. I wouldnt worry too much about the height issue. Walk tall and proud!!
