My mom was 6 foot tall and she was from a generation that was much shorter than us. I am 5'11" and I have had a lot of women comment that they would love to have my build. There are a lot worse things in the world of beauty than being slim and tall so I will never complain about getting my Moms gene.
Looking at this thread I think we should start a basketball team. You know that you have the ability to move on the court if you can handle 4-5" heels.
