Title: What is your dream height?
Post by: PeterSteele on July 02, 2016, 10:56:40 AM
I'm currently 5 ft 4. Still growing though  ;D But the height I really want to have is 6 ft 7. Because I've always just wanted to be a very tall person plus its an amazing height.
Do the poll and comment below the height you want and why!  :police:

At 6ft tall since about 14 and with mostly no "early warning system" (aka hair), I am pretty tired as well as scared from banging my head and having to duck. Even with out the GD, I'd rather be shorter, just not short short. Around 5'6 to 5'4" is my "Goal Height". I'm getting there, slowly. Thanks to gravity I'm about an inch closer to it. In about another 187 years I figure I'll finally be there  ::)

At 6' 2" I'd prefer to be 2-4 inches shorter if it meant my shoe size was 2-4 sizes smaller!

;D

5'3 as I am. You know it's strange... Of all the things I wish to change about my body, my height wasn't one of them. I always liked the idea of being a shorty but stocky man, or short, lean and fit. Ninja like lol

I'd like to be 5"9-5-"11. More than that and I'd feel too tall and noticeable. Plus I'd like to be able to fit under doorways. The height I want is more average and at least I won't be constantly looked down by other guys. I'm appreciative of being close to 5"6 though.

I'm 5'11.  Would love to be 5'7".  And have feet 2 sizes smaller.  Is there a magic wand I can borrow?  :-)

Definitely 5ft 7. I'm 6ft 1 now and I think any shorter and I'd feel too short. I have an awful sense of direction and totally losing the ability to look over people and see my surroundings would get me lost :D

I wish I was 5'10 or over 6ft. I'm 5'6, so considering a tiny thing on my moms side where everyones at least 5'9. Plus I'm a black guy and feel I should be taller.

Sucks a lot cause my 15 y/o brother is now eye level and my 16 y/o brother has to look down at me. I'm 19! Why am I the shortest :(!

The only thing I like about my height is when I was told it's better for a sprinter. So I guess it worked out in high school...

I'm 5'6" and am done growing from what I can tell, I haven't grown any taller since I was 14. :P
For my answer I checked off the "5ft 8 - 5 ft 10" category, but in reality my ideal would be around 5'7" to 5'8".

I'm glad I'm at least 5'6" and am mostly comfortable with my height. My dad and uncle are both right under 6', while my grandparents, mom and sister are all around 5'2" to 5'5", so being my height isn't bad in comparison.
Most of my female friends are my height or a bit shorter, while most of my guy friends are my height or a bit taller. I feel like I'm on the tipping scale for somewhat tall female or short male though, and would rather be more on the short male side I guess.
On a side note, I used to wear 2" flip-flops between 12 and 14, and really liked the extra height. I remember feeling like a shorty when I stopped wearing them and stuck with converse. ::)

I am all of 4'10" so really even being 5'2" would be a step up. But I would love to be 5'10" to 6'2". It would be nice for my wife to look UP at me. My height doesn't stop me from anything.

I was a bit close to 5' 11", but after the ligament + connection moving it moved me to 5' 10" so I'll take that LOL. I've always taken more after my mother because I have more features similarly to hers than my fathers. My brothers and father are so dang tall! The old man is like... 6' 5". My older brother is 6' 1" and my youngest is 6' 3". And then there's my mother at 5' 6" hehehe she's shorter than me. ^^

Sheesh I'm seriously glad I didn't get that tall LOL.

I'm not freakishly tall at 6 feet,  but if I got to choose,  I'd be about 5'8.  More clothing and shoe options!

5'7", but would love to be 5'4", as literally all my gal friends range from 4'9" to 5'3" :)

I'm 5'8 - 5'9, and if I had to choose I'd probably be somewhere like 5'4" - 5'5". I might shrink an inch or two on HRT possibly so that would be amazing.

I have no desire to be anything other than who I am.  Which is 5'8".

I was 5' 10" when I started HRT this go around and at my 6 months checkup, I was 5' 9".  I am happy with that height actually.  5' 5" would be my minimum and 5' 10" my max, if given my choice.  Anything inside that range is perfect for me.

5'11 here, and I love it. But I had to learn to appreciate being tall. I always get snarky comments in real life about how tall I am, and the object of jokes. But it get tiresome after a while. I know I am too tall for what's "normal" in woman, but I don't care anymore. I accepted it, and actually enjoy it. Being tall has so many advantages, and I also like other tall people. One tall advantage of being a tall female: men don't perceive me as a weak target, and so I never get into any trouble and can get away with plenty. But the flip side is that some men are afraid to approach me. But those who approach me, are super confident.

I am 5 foot 7.5 inches, and very happy with it. :-D  I just wish my legs were an inch or two longer and my torso an inch or two shorter.  As it is, I have a much easier time wearing bikinis than one piece bathing suits because I am a little long in the torso for a girl.  My inseam is 30 inches, which is just a little short for a girl my height.

I was 5' 7", until I broke my back, now I'm 5' 6.5"
But, if I could choose, I'd be 5' 5" so clearly I need to break my back a few more times  ;D
