5ft 7..

I sometimes wonder what would have happened if I'd have been the required height for a supermodel....(5ft 8)




ah yes, probably 'not' a supermodel...

I remember Randy Newman's song about short people too.
1m 84 or 6'1", depending on metric or imperial, to the top of my pate

5"5....

5"8...in me heels

6' 5", annoyingly. You try finding clothes that fit. And shoes?

I go all the way up to here. *Holds hand in air above him*

6'1". Never been measured in heels (to my knowledge...)

5' 4" and a bit.

5'9", that is 1.75 m, and I'm a guy.

I'm a shade under 6'.
Oh and I'm a girl.

I end up truly frightening to the majority of the male population when I wear heels...

Hmm I was 5ft 7"
Now I imagine about 5ft 51/2"
*I'm shrinking!*

Get thee to a rack girl!

5'2 1/2", but I have really tall shoes so I can reach the bar in my wardrobe (this dorm was made for tall people!)

5'7"-5'8"
Short legs, long torso, long arms. Ideal build for a potholer, if there is such a thing.

I'm only 5'8" but have size 8 shoes, 34" inside leg (trousers always come in 28" or 30"),an extra small crash helmet size (had to order it 'cause theres no call for that size')and sleeves always end up 3/4 length whether I like it or not. ooh I have fun buying clothes...

I'm 5"3
My fellla is 6"3
We've had 'fun' trying to "meet each others demands" in the past, but we've mastered the art now

6'4" long arms and legs some of the guys call me "bambi". Its a nightmare buying trousers, well actually a nightmare is when youre buying trousers and they turn into a jet powered leopard with the face of your old geography teacher and you get so scared that you wet your self and you try to push it all under the partition into the next cubicle but your wee is all sticky like jam and it sticks to your hands and you get it all over the trousers/jet powered leaopard and youre too embarassed to take them back to the counter so you try to steal them and you get caught by an old lady with bad teeth and stuble who trys to kiss you and you wake and the is licking your face. Thats a nightmare, buying trousers with legs that are long enough is just sort of difficult.

I agree with the difficulty of buying trousers (I'm 6'5")- the leopard thing is kinda worrying though!

1.73m

Blicky!

*wipes away laugh tears*

I shall have to make you a pair of trousers one of these days.

(wow - you're a whole foot taller than me!)

I think I`m about 1.94. Not as tall as I thought, but enough to impress asian girls My main problem with buying clothes is that my waist is small and my legs are x-large. So it`s hard to find pants that fit. I don`t think I ever have, I just use belts.
