As a woman who is 5.7 tall,I will say that I like tall men,over 6 feet.I am lucky that my spouse is 6.3,so if i want to wear high heels I can. Also I find it nice to walk next to him,and feel protected( not that I need that).But that is me!I guess ,every person is different.

Yes most women prefer to walk with men who are taller than her.It gives a glamorous look. But not all tall men need be smart.

You are so right.My first husband was 6,6, but as a person was not the best! treated me bad, was a dreamer and a liar.That is why he was my ex!!!!I was very lucky to find my current spouse,a good ,smart man,that is also 6,3.

I would have liked to be 4 inches taller. I have a long torso and short legs, so height could have given me the illusion of being less chunky. I have also already lost 1 1/2 inches of height due to aging. Now I can't wear high heels so easily to keep up the illusion of weighing less and looking less squat! Moderate or average height is OK in both men and women in my opinion, but it's easier for women to compensate with high heels. Men can use lifts in their shoes to add some height if they want to. It's actually also the height/weight ratio that makes the difference. But it's hardly that bothersome in the scheme of things.

yes most of us are not happy at the way we look.Women generally look for taller men. I know there are other attributes that also go with height that adds to a person's personality. I wonder how height decreases with age

There are probably a few factors in age related height loss, While some height loss is considered normal, too much may indicate problems. The most noted is osteoporosis (loss of bone density). Contributory factors include compression of discs which separate vertabrae, lack of calcium and vitamin D.

I'm a women who's about 5.6/5.7 and to be honest I'm not completely happy with my height as I LOVE wearing heels. Especially ones that are like 4 or 5 inches and so when I wore those kind of heels I kinda feel like a giant because I tower over people :( If I didn't like wearing heels then I probably would be perfectly happy with my height because it's a good height to be at, not too tall or not too short :)

You see, I don't wear heels to make me taller, I wear them because heels looks a lot nicer than flats do and you get so many nice designs in them. But unfortunately these days the really nice ones are like 4 or 5 inches which I actually hate because as you pointed out, I become like roughly 6 foot :( so because of that I wish I was shorter. And I'm only an inch taller than the UK average so that's not too bad!

I think your height is above average for a women.Infact women because of their body structure appear more tall than they are actually. So i dont think you need to wear heels to increase your height.With 4-5 inches you must be nearing 6 ft

I am 5.8. also and that is considered tall for a woman. My brother is the same height, but he is short. I didn't like being tall when I was younger. I was taller than everyone in my class and didn't like sticking out. Now that I am older I can see a lot of advantages to being tall and like it.

You are lucky that you have an height slightly above average for women. Perhaps you could have shared a few inches with your brother haha

I am 6,0 even. I'm fairly ok with my height. When I was younger, I wanted to be around 6,4, but I'm ok with my height. I've also been told by a variety of women that they like taller men.

You are not tooooooo short and dont get too embarrassed about it. Women do like tall men but they hate men who are disproportionate to their height. So feel happy that there are women who match your height too.

I am only 4.5.. Truly speaking, I am quite minding my height as I am always sitting in front of the first row of class when attending school. After graduation, I need to wear the high heel shoe to increase a little height. Because of this, I need to find my hub taller for the consideration of hereditary. LOL. However, as I know, women like the humorous guy rather than the tall guy. I think I could recognize you in the crowd if you are 5.8.. It is not a short height.

Dont worry too much now that there is nothing you cn do about it. Hitler was a very short man so was Mao tse tung.They created revolution in their country.But i am told.Shorter people are brainy.So take comfort in it

Chinese are by nature like the Japanese short in stature aren't they? If that is true then i think your height is more than average and you should be happy.

i am 5 and i dont like it. most people mistake me as a student and not as a professional also because i look younger than my age. i hate to wear heels because i am not used to it. i wish i can add at least 5 inches to my height.
• India

Short people generally have cute faces. I bet you must be a very cute women.Nature gives one and takes back another.I think 5 ft is not toooooo short for a women. Yes for men its below average. If your slim then you appear to gain an inch or two

I'm 5'6 1/2". I'm satisfied with it though. About women liking men for how tall they are is not that true. Women love guys with other reasons. One is their money, others is for their fame and face, others look for just a companion, and etc. There are many reasons for women to like men and I hope it's not for their outer appearance.

Yes women have various reason to like a man. But physical attribute is one and height is the most important. Today women eye money,name and fame to fall in love.

I'm 5'2" and I'm contented with my height. It is the average height for a filipino woman.

I m happy to see who is 5.2 and still contended with it. Great because its natural for people to get a bit inferior complex which you dont seem to carry.

Im satisfied with my height its 167cm or 5.8inch. But im not satisfied with my weight its only 54kg and its not suitable for my height. I need to be more chubby.

%.8 is most men prefer if not more. Anything below that height makes men a little uneasy in social circles. You are just about the right height

I'm 5'2" and I like being short. Height shouldn't matter what matters is the heart. At least I think so.

Like being short?i never heard this before that some one is happy being short. Ofcourse being tall or short is not in our hands. we have to accept what comes.But 5.2 is not too bad for women. Women appear taller even with shorter height

Yes, I stand 5'1 and i'm very satisfied with my height. For girls it's not easy when you're more than 5'5 unless you wanted to join beauty contest wherein being tall is a requirement. Women like not necessarily tall men but men taller than our own height.

height is a key factor in the glam our industry-modelling and films. For a common person its not so.Yes you are right what women look for is a person who is taller than her.
• Philippines

i stand 5'4, for a Filipina it is already quiet tall, i am contented and happy with my height, thanks to my father's good genes. men with tall height got an edge physically but it is the character that captures my heart. i don't go much into physical thing, i am more concern with the person's personality.

%.4 is a good height for women of any nationality not just for Filipinas.yes height may not be everything but surely it helps to gain more attention and glamour

I think that I am a pretty good height all things considered, close to six feet tall. Tall enough to be considered tall but not tall enough to be considered overly tall to say the very least. Then again, it really does depend on who you do in fact hang out with whether or not you would be truthfully considered all that tall at all. I think that the fact that I know a lot of shorter people, so that does make me taller. After all, looks can be everything and it is about who you are with. Still I think that I am at a good enough height. I wouldn't want to be bumping into things or having to stand right on my tip toes to reach things. So its a happy medium but a medium that I am happy with.

You have the perfect height for men,neither too tall nor too short.Being too tall has its humorous side too.If you are a cricket enthusiast you will probably know Jeol Garner of the West Indies. During his playing days he was the tallest cricketer standing 6.8 inches .Once Jeol joking quipped to his team mate Viv Richards that he takes his lunch early in the morning because his food will reach his stomach around the time for actual lunch.

im satisfied with the height im am at present .I dont say that all women like the tall persons,if this is right then many boys who arent tall will not get girlfriends or get married.Nothing is there in tallness only back ache.

Umaji not just back aches but also frequently getting hurt by banging head on overhead objects haha.Yes being tall is not everything but it helps to enhance men's personality.Hitler was a short man but he made the world dance to his tunes.

To be honest, no ..I haven't even reached 5 foot and 3 inches.. I would love to have your height, or even add 2 or 3 inches to it.. but i can't do anything anymore since I am also at an age where my bones would stop growing..
• India
25 Sep 11
There is nothing one can do about it. We dont have any control on our height. it comes naturally. Dont get depressed or feel inferior because you are not as tall as you would like to.Infact women dont carry too much disadvantage being short.%.3 is not too bad

I stand at around 5'3.5". I am not happy about it but I am already contented with it. Does that make sense? Well, I realize that any height that I do have, I should be thankful and contented with it. But still, I would love to get it still up a few feet or inches. I think that height becomes a factor to women depending on their own height. If the girl is very tall, I supposed that she should try to go with very tall guys too. But height is not that necessary with woman's taste as I see some couples with very big height gaps with each other.
• India
25 Sep 11
you have been honest in admitting that your not happy with your height.But its inevitable.Yes we can do very little to change that.Of course height is not everything in a man's personality. there are many inherent qualities that he can develop to enhance his acceptance and appeal
