I hate it. I'd much rather be a mere 5'6". Seriously, I know thats much shorter than average, but there are really no advantages at 5'3".
And you can bullshit all you want but short chicks much prefer tall guys to short guys (when they have an option). My only chance with any girl is to hang out with a bunch of other short guys and hope one of us gets lucky.

I'm 6'6 and although I wouldn't mind being shorter in many situations, I can't really call it a complaint. I just trimmed all the low branches off my tree so that I wouldn't have to duck under it... that kind of shit.

5'8"

Would like to be an inch or three taller, but I'm actually pretty comfortable with my height.

5'4", not happy. Sure as hell won't even consider limb lengthening. Won't even buy platform shoes, although I do like the 1" - 1.5" heels.

Obviously, it's annoying in terms of being looked upon and treated like a kid (face doesn't help), clothes are hard to buy, and ladies prefer tall men (I would too). The good thing is that I'm proportional, and don't look like I'm overcompensating with muscle mass, or a borderline dwarf.

5'5"

I'm taller than both my parents and grandparents so I've got nothing to complain about.

More than 6'3.5", a bit shy of 6'4". I generally say I'm 6'4" though, because no one really cares about half- (or quarter-) inches, and I'm much closer to 6'4" than 6'3". (If we used the metric system I could get closer using centimeters, I guess.)

I'm fine with my height, I suppose. I wouldn't want to be any taller, I can't see much advantage to it (given that I wouldn't be playing in the NBA), and the disadvantages I have now would just be worse. I wonder if a few inches shorter would be better, mitigating the disadvantages to being "too" tall, while still being sort of tall. Eh. I like where I am.

Anyone that states their height using fractional inches is a douche bag, IMO. Either that or they are overcompensating for feeling short. I am 6'4" and actually wouldn't mind being a bit shorter, although where I live there are only a few people as tall as me, and one taller, so that is kind of neat.

Meh. I'm ok with it, but the dealing with small cars, low ceilings, and my wife being more than a foot shorter does get old at times.

I'm 6'1" 1/2 and I'm pretty happy with it.

Just a skosh over 6-1. Wouldn't mind having a couple extra inches...oddly enough, my wife sez the same thing...

6'2" here. Can't complain too much other than my little brother is a half inch taller than me. I'd be happy with 6'5".

Roughly 5'4" is the height I like 'em. Something about seeing eye-to-eye.
