Height of the Women

[briannad]

I have seen references sprinkled throughout replies to other threads here. I am just wondering, I was one of the guys that was short. Always the kid in the front row of class pictures. I stand just a shade under 5'6" in my barefeet. I admit now that it feels like a blessing and not so much as being a "vertically challenged" curse. How tall are most of the Women here?

[eleventhdr]

But my real desire as always been to be small and petite say 52 or so i like that old song five foot two eye's of blue has anybody she my gal that's what i have always wanted to really be.

I hate taking up so much space as a big mlae i want to be a short pretty girl that's what i really do desire oh well

Suzy Ann!

[SylvieGurl155]

I'm with you!
I was the "short Kid" in school and still am at work. i kinda have the Kiddish attitude sometimes too ^.^ i'm 5'5" just about. i have to tippy toe to reach alot of stuff... o.o

[Ruth]

I'm about 5'8", so on the tall side for a woman. I don't wear heels more than about one inch when I'm out in public.
I think women are taller these days than say 50 years ago, so I don't stand out too much.

[AmandaM]

5'8" !

[Vicky_Scot]

6'2"

[Keely]

Guess I'm in the short column. 5' 6" That's sorta short for a guy but just right for who I am.

[hotbobbie]

I am 5 10 and wear 2 to 3 inch heels. Women in the northwest are on the tall side so i do not have a problem with my size.

[Kris]

4'11"! :tongueout You think you have to reach, I need to get a chair most of the time. I am good at hopping on the counter for things in the kitchen! :happy:

:hugs: Kris

[joann07]

I'm about 5'5" without shoes and 5'8" or 5'9" depending on the heels.

[Brianna Lovely]

I'm 6' tall, my ex-wife was 5' 11".

In case anyone is interested, according to the garment industry, in measurements taken in the UK and USA
the average woman in 1950 was 5'2" 37-27.5-39
and in 2004 the average was 5'4" 38-34-40.5

[crunchysoda]

I am 5'4, I always *wanted* to be 5'6.
Both my parents are/were 5'7.
My bf is 5'8

[Christine XX]

I'm 5'9". I'm a little more, umm, horizontally challanged then vertically :)

-Christine

[angelfire]

Between 6'1 and 6'2. If I ever want to go out dressed, heels are probably a no-no, but I also have men's size 13 feet, which is almost impossible to find women's flats in. No cute ones anyway.

[MJ]

well i am 5'8 i don't think thats too bad in heels 6'2 i am so glad you did not ask about our weight :heehee:

[Laurie909]

5' 5", 5' 6"......you girls are all GIANTS in my book. I'm 5' 3" and not likely to grow any taller.

[bridgette63]

I think average height for a female is 5'6 which is what I am...

[Rachel Michelle]

I'm just a little over 5' 13". Oh sure, you can say that's the same as 6' 1", but I'm in denial. I prefer to think of myself as Amazon-ish!

Rachel

[Cheryl J]

I'm a little more, umm, horizontally challanged then vertically :)

-Christine

I'm 5'6" (or as we say, 168cm.)
But it is the width I have absolutely no control over. LOL

In case you're interested, the woman on the cover of the September "Shape" magazine is US Open Champion, Maria Sharapova, and she's 6" 2" tall.

[Wenda]

6'5" in my 4" heels.

[kymmieLorain]

I myself am 5'11" my daugter in law(gg) is 5'10 and wears a size 11 shoe

Kymmie

[S. Lisa Smith]

5' 9.5"

[SandyR]

6 ' 2". 6' 6" in heels. I used to be so bummed, about it, but now I stand proud and look others right in the eye. I see alot of tall GG these days.

SandyR

[Kathryn Philips]

With my heels I'm just under 6 feet. That threshold that so many CDs are unfortunate to exceed.

[KarenSusan]

6'1", but I have feet small enough to wear women's size 10 making shoes easier to find.:happy:

[Sally24]

I'm 6' and "willowy" but as a freshman in high school I was 5' 2" (wish I could have stayed a little shorter). Well, I have nice legs because of the height so what the hey. And dresses are naturally short on me!

[ArleneRaquel]

I'm 5' 6 " and I usually wear a 3 to 3 1/2 in heels, with a meduim build. :happy: :love: & :hugs: Beyonce Welch - Sipping Chardonnay :drink: Chardonnay & be happy

[Lori SC]

5'9" When I want to feel short, I just go stand next to all my tall friends!:D

Hugs, Lori

[jennifer easton]

5-51/2, got to have that 1/2 in there makes me feel tall!!

[Mariah]

keris

[Di]

[Claire3]

6'6'' in my fav heels.6'3'' without,guess that quite tall when you think about it

[vivianann]

I am 5'10 barefoot , I wear 2.5" to 3" heels. I have short legs and long torso.

[BarbaraTalbot]

I was all legs then. My torso grew finally but not so much my legs.

I finally was able to round myself up to 5'8" tall by maybe 19 or so. I've shrunk so rounding gives me 5'7" these days I think.

In male mode I have always had a Napoleonic complex. En Femme I feel statuesque in heels with the leg proportion that looks right to me.

[Violetgray]

I'm 5'6" and a half, so 5'11" in my boots!

[Brenda's Friend]

Just under 6 feet in my pantihose.

[Katelyn]

I'm 5'4... Oh wait. That's with heels on. I'm about 5'1" and 1/2. I usually say i'm just 5'2. Just a young petite girl... i thought shopping for guy clothes was bad. I have troubel finding petite girl clothes too.

[Angie G]

I'm 5'7" hun :hugs:

[My Lady Marsea]

That's sooo funny girl . I LOVE the 13" part.

Hey at least you're not at Lane Bryant. And there is stuff you can fit in in Victorias Secret you lucky pixie. (Sigh)

[Mitzi]

5'8" here..kinda tall for an Asian girl, but I love heels. Luckily there are more and more young Asian girls (GG's) as tall as me these days, but almost always wearing flats:(.

Saw a very tall girl today, well over 6', shopping for dresses at Ross. I'm pretty sure she was T, but only noticed her because of her height. Very well put together and wearing nice flats.

Mitzi

[Patricia Danielle]

Well now I don't feel like such a sky scraper at 6 feet. But got to admit I'm a sucker for a tiney girl with looonnng hair. Still at only 6 feet tall sometimes it's a real pain in the keaster to find dresses that fit and hang right on me..Patricia..

[Lisa Golightly]

I was 6' 1", but I'm now only 5' 11"ish... I seem to be shrinking. I used to know a GG who was 6' 4" by the by...

[karen88st]

I am 5'7". Still received a lot of staring when I was out wearing 3" heels. Now I seldom wear anything more than 2" so that I don't get any attraction at all.

[Ann D Bluebird]

5' 6" Just average then! :D

[RachelDenise]

6'3" of tallness.

[Hermione Simpson]

5'6''

[Chantelle CD]

Bare feet i am 6'3 1/2 <sigh> nice in male mode though so its ok

[newtothelife]

6'4" w/o heels.....And I like big heels LOL I look like a giant in them though..

[Sophster GG]

I'm 5'8" Ish... :happy:

[Suzy Harrison]

I'm 5ft 8ins

Once I saw a 'gurl' walking in the street who was over 6ft. But she carried herself so well the height didn't seem to be a problem at all.

It's all still down to confidence.

[erickka]

I'm still under 6" in my 5" stiletto pumps. Vertically challenged? As a guy, yes. As a gurl, well, it's great to reach the top shelf of the cupboard without jumping and stretching. Boy those heels are an uplifting experience! hehe

[JoAnnDallas]

I'm 5'9"

[kassandra richard]

I'm 5'9" and my wife is 5'11" :) Where I feel bad for her is in the leg department. My inseam is 32" so I can usually pick pants anywhere including women's. My wife's inseam is 36" so for her to find anything is a struggle.

[tommi]

6'2" and 36" inseam At 25 I only weighed 160 Now at 39 I way 220 :(

[ElaineB]

192 cm here.

[megan163]

I'm 5' 8" in bare feet. OK for me either mode.

[Sandra]

I am 5ft 7 in bare feet

[Elsbeth]

5' 11" Average male, a little tall for a woman.

El

[Claudia Zylindrias]

6'2" w/o heels

[Marcie Sexton]

I'm 6'7" in my bare feet

[Deborah Jane]

I,m 5ft 8 in bare feet...uk size 7 to 8 shoe size, depending on the shoe maker!!

[LindaTS]

I'm also one of the lucky ones, being only 5'5". Heels aren't a problem for us.

[Mitzi]

A quick note...

Wearing heels does not make you taller by the height of the heels. For example wearing 4" heels only makes you, maybe, 2 1/2 inches taller. If you don't believe this, measure yourself with and without heels.

It has to do with the "fulcrum" of your foot, which is around the ankle, not the heel, and it determines how much height is added.

Think of a seesaw, even if one side is raised high, the "fulcrum" at the center is lower. It's kind of the same principle.

Mitzi

[Meeshell]

I'm 5'11" without heels but my legs(my only real nice feature) look great in heels, and the higher the better so doorjams beware.

:hugs:
Meesh

[Melissa A.]

5 foot 8. Just short enough for most any style fulcrum.

Hugs,

Melissa:happy:

[JeanneF]

5'9"

Just short enough that I don't stand out too bad in heels. I know a lot of GGs that are my height or taller.

[jessicacd43]

I am 6-3
Wish I was about 5-10
Jessica

[Faith_G]

6' 2".

[Bobbie cd]

I am 5'-10" and usually wear a size 11 if I can find a wide enough width, otherwise i have to go to a 12.

Mitzi

Mitzi, You are correct. There is a geometric progression that causes this phenomenom. Try it at home. Measure yourself with and without heels.

I am 5'9" tall and am well under 6' tall in 3-1/2" heels. BTW, I know a number of women that are as tall or taller than I am who regularly wear 3-4" heels with pride.

Jodi

[Christen3042]

In my 3 1/2" heels, I'm 6'-6"

[Joyce1702]

5'11" here. I don't feel too tall when I'm out "dressed" until I get in a check out line or something where I tower over the GGs.

Joyce

[Dita_B]

Between 6'1 and 6'2. If I ever want to go out dressed, heels are probably a no-no, but I also have men's size 13 feet, which is almost impossible to find women's flats in. No cute ones anyway.

I am 6'- 1.5" on bare feet and I always wear "flat" ballerina's with a 1" heel...and no one seems to notice... I also have a pair of pumps with a 4" heel and I wear those also on my regular Mall shopping tours. No problem with the public... but a problem on my feet. I can't walk more than an hour in them... But I love walking in them regardless.

I buy my shoes on line at designershoes.com and Angelfire they have cute ballerina's in sizes over 12... Here are mine if you want to check them and the sizes out ...

http://www.designershoes.com/designer/product.asp?s%5Fid=0&dept%5Fid=3127&pf%5Fid=PAOHADHNIOCPBNDP&sku=20410&mscssid=TSRVJ4399P8P8NRQ8EE58J6TTDUJ9DC7

I got those in pink... and I am waiting for the following shoes to arrive in taupe...

http://www.designershoes.com/designer/product.asp?s%5Fid=0&dept%5Fid=3126&pf%5Fid=PAOHIDANBPNLJDEL&sku=17101&mscssid=TSRVJ4399P8P8NRQ8EE58J6TTDUJ9DC7

BTW: I bought them both on sale for 29.90 each...

So your size doesn't have to be a problem. And when you are tall, bigger feet are normal... at least they don't stand out.

:love:Dita.

[Sedona]

6'3" in bare feet. Love my height, as I'm usually in guy-mode, and have had no problems with girlfriends saying they don't like dating shorter guys.

["Mary"]

5' 13" I like that:happy:

I do tend to stick out a bit. I love high heels, but have to be wary of just how tall they make me.

[Linda K]

I have seen references sprinkled throughout replies to other threads here. I am just wondering, I was one of the guys that was short. Always the kid in the front row of class pictures. I stand just a shade under 5'6" in my barefeet. I admit now that it feels like a blessing and not so much as being a "vertically challenged" curse. How tall are most of the Women here?
You are very fortunate to be 5' 6" tall! Linda is 6' 3" tall without heels. This makes it virtually impossible to go out in public since a very tall girl attracts attention from almost everyone.

[jennifer41356]

five foot six with no heels, i love being short:love:

[Marcie Sexton]

I got just one word for all you girls....


:haha::haha::haha: SHORT !!!!:laughing::laughing::laughing:

[Mitch23]

You are very fortunate to be 5' 6" tall! Linda is 6' 3" tall without heels. This makes it virtually impossible to go out in public since a very tall girl attracts attention from almost everyone.
6'2" + heels here - no problem for me going out in public - people just see 'tall' until in close zone when they're gonna read you anyway. Most of the looks I get are admiring ones (i would like to believe) cos i look good tall!

Mitch

[CamillaCD]

5'12" here, and proud of every inch.

[Dixie]

5'9" without my heels:heehee:

[marykrissmithcd]

I'm 5'8" stocking feet, 6' with 4" heels. My older brother has the height I wish I had which is 5" even. Alot more options in clothes and shoe sizes.

[Sue Too]

5-8 and loving every minute of it

[Mona]

5' 6" and 140 lbs. I was going to give my height in heels but fulcrums confused me!

[Ashley Victoria]

Height isn't that big of a thing for me i could careless how tall a girl is.

[StayceeCD]

5 '8.... But know many GG's taller! :heehee:

[Chiana]

I was over 5'11" at one time in my life but I think I have reached the point in life where I am shrinking. I have avoided measureing myself lately. I guess I am closer to 5'10" now.

[Jessica1]

How very true Sandy .... I'm 6'1 and I've seen more than my share of ggs who are the same height if not taller!

* www.myspace.com/jezzebel1 *

[docrobbysherry]

I'm 5'10" , 152 lbs., and agree with Mitch. I had a girl friend that was 6'1" in stocking feet. She didn't stand out because, at 155 lbs., she didn't look big,
( unless she was next to me)! I want to lose about 10 lbs. Because I want a trim figure. Unfortunately, sometimes I want the chubby figure that is more the femme look of today. Plus, your butt and boobs, ( if u have any), might dissappear when a CD slims down. I had to quit lifting weights, too. It's REALLY hard to hide muscles in your upper arms! But, that's another thread, I guess!

[Lisa Renee]

I'm about 5' 10.5'. And I have seen any number of gg's taller than I am

[jenniferj]

Somewhere between 6-0" and 6'-1 1/2", depending on how athletic I have been in the past few days. I actually seem to get taller as I exert myself - probably from fluid buildup in my slightly arthritic knees and collapsed disks in my lower back.

It's kindof fun, as my 30 year old son and I teeter back and forth as to who is taller - some days he is by a smidgin, other days I am noticeably so.

Of course, depending on what heels I am wearing I may be significantly taller, but we haven't done that comparison. :heehee: On the other hand, I don't know what shoes he wears when I'm not around, either.:devil:

When I am out in public (guy mode) I always notice the girls who are as tall as I am or taller, and try to study them discretely to see their general body shape, posture, and if anyone else is noticing them. I just came back from a trade show in LasVegas and saw a lot of tall girls. Of course, I'm told that a lot of them are girls like us, although I couldn't tell.

-jj

[Vaerise]

5' 9.6"

I wish I was only 5' so I can wear heels... :\

[Miss Petra]

6'3 Glamazon:heehee:

But remember...Woman come in all shapes & sizes. The secret is how me move & how we present ourselves as feminine.
