I would like to be 4 or 5 inches taller than I am. Supposedly your arm span is should to be about the same as your height, but my arm span is 4 to 5 inches more than my height. I think I would be taller if my mother had not been a smoker or maybe if my father had given me mega doses of vitamins when I was growing up like he did a dog we had. When grown that dog was about 50% bigger than any of the others from its litter and was very healthy and strong.

I'm 5'3" and I wish I was just a bit taller. Maybe about 5'6". I wouldnt want to be a sky scrapper or anything. My mom is 5'0" and my dad is about 5'7" so I was bound to be kind of short anyway.

Argh! God no! I'm 6 ft 3 and I'm glad I've stopped growing! I would actually prefer to be a couple of inches shorter...like just on 6 foot. I know it isn't that big a difference but when it comes to talking to people shorter than you it is.

I dont have a dashing height so i really want to increase my height a bit.I dont like my self with this height,i should have been a little bit longer.
these days there are shoes or things attaching shoes which have proved to increase height to some feet.I have seen the adds but i dont know whether its true or not.
does these kind of shoe wares help to increase height?

I'm 5ft. 3 inches.
I'm ok with my height, I don't want to be taller. But I want to be thinner though. hahaha...
Here's a joke about heights:
I am five fee, three inches tall and pleasingly plump. After I had a minor accident, my mother accompanied me to the emergency room. The triage nurse asked for my height and weight, and I blurted out, "Five-foot-eight and 125pounds." While the nurse pondered this information, my mother leaned over to me. "Sweetheart," she gently chided, "This is not the Internet."
*LOL*
Honestly, this really made me laugh. Just shows how many people are 'in denial' of their height and weights.

my mom is 5ft 1in . . . my dad is 5ft 3in . . . I'm only 4ft 11in . . . So I guess you could say that I didn't have a choice ,but to be short.
And when it comes to reaching for things, I do often wish I were just a little taller, but now I have my tall husband for that, he is 6ft 2in.......
But on the up side I was carded up until my 30th birthday, and people still look at me funny when I say I've been married for 14 years.
But still 5ft would have been nice.
