A few good things about being under five feet tall

1) I can wear most capri pants, cropped pants, and girls' pants to work and get away with it since the hems hit my ankles (my inseam is 25 inches ( Read more... )

I really do wonder what it's like to be so tall...
That's a "magical wish" I've always had. (you know, if I were to ever be granted wishes to alter my appearence, although I'd still want to be petite, around 5'1" or so)

What's it like hanging around your short friends? I always feel weird when my tall friends are physically looking down at me and I have to crane my neck to look up at them. (kissing my six-foot husband is always fascinating)

It's Great Fun Being Faerie Sized! Today When I Was At The Store I Couldn't Reach The Top Shelf Where The Dog Harnesses Were {I Needed One For Jack} And Four Guys All Rushed To Help Me! I Love Being 4'9"!

Awwwww! I should add that: Strangers in the store always offer to get stuff off the high shelves for me!

I find short people to be simply adorable. =) My height doesn't make me unique. It's the fact that at 5'6", I'm ALL limb therefore my legs are very long and so are my arms. I can still reach things most people at my height couldn't. ;) I have more complaints. Pants are never long enough, sleeves are never long enough and skirts look obscenely short on me.

I'd love to be all limb, honestly. Long-limbed people at any height always seem like sylphs and nymphs to me. :)

I used to always want to be under 5', but now I think I would want to be about 5'2." It would make pants a lot easier to wear... I don't know what my inseam is, but I think it's something in-between yours and 30" (which I can find many pants in). I don't get my clothes tailored because I don't need nice clothes, so my pants always have rips on the bottoms:)

I would still rather be short than tall, though, I have to admit.

heh, I used to hate my size. I'm 5'1'', and I was incredibly thin in high school. My friends enjoyed picking me up and throwing me around - I spent more time in the air than I do on my feet, and I HATED IT. I felt like I was being treated like a child, and I didn't like it when people "put their hands on me" when I didn't give them permission to. Not to mention, I've been dropped a couple of times.

I've since then gained weight, and no one really wants to pick me up anymore. Ironically, I miss it. Not the "toss around in the air" type of lifting, but the cuddling in the arms of someone, as though they just want to keep me safe. 'Cause I could really use that sometimes.
