You would never accept me----being "Taller" can be a problem in some exceptional cases
There is one Childhood friend of mine---who is 5'7 and he is tallest amongst his family of four
And he categorizes himself under tall guys.....you're not supposed to question him as what qualifies him for that category----its quiet confidential though
Guess what he never stands besides me----Coz he would be embrassed as this TALL guy looks small besides me
He always moves with my other friends who are of his height and we keep pulling his leg and have fun with him.
So how much tall is too much for you ? How tall are you and do you categorise yourself to be one of those tall ones by comparing yourself to your family members ?

I don't think that I judge people by their tallness, although, I must confess that I am pleased with my own height and have never been interested in being shorter. So maybe if I had been born shorter I would have grown up lacking confidence over that. On the other hand, it is probably a bigger issue with guys. Still, being female, I would still prefer being "too tall" over being "too short." Fortunately, however, I am just right.

LOL, sunny, are you done with the search or done with the girl? You wanted to be more than 6'4" and then you might hit your head don the top of my door if you came through it. You might need a longer bed and your own tailor. Do they have clothes stores just for Tall Men in India?

[Hi sunnycool,
This is really hard for me as here we don't use feet and inches, we use centimetres, but I tried, and I'm pretty sure I'm 5'7. And I'm always making jokes about me and my brother being dwarfs, because my cousins are almost 6'7 (all 4 of them )
In my personal opinion, (having grown up in such a family) a man is not tall unless he's at least 6' tall. And even if he is 6' tall, I could just accept his being tall to the rest, but for me it's only normal height for guys.

well, yes, that's why I don't consider anyone else as "tall"
I think 5'5 is an average height for women here in Argentina.
Really? You were bullied for being tall? I guess you were really really thin then!!

That was a pretty wild guess which turned out to be right girl ---i used to be damn thin in my schooling so it made me look like a Eiffel tower amongst Buds lol and then i put on some weight and muscle in the last five years
So you mean that you're a woman with above average height haaah

Well Im about the height of your friend. I consider myself an average when it comes to height. Sometimes i feel tall too when I'm with people shorter than me. If Im with a friend who has a height that puts my height to shame, Im not embarrased at all because I have mind set "he maybe is taller than me but im sure Im way better when it comes to pleasing women"
Im tall and others are just taller or shorter, that is how I see myself haha

I am five foot one inch and I think I am petite my husband is six foot three so I class him as tall. I wish i was taller because i feel everyone is looking down at the top of my head when they stand next to me. I think six foot is enough to call yourself tall but i would have liked to be five foot six as it seems a nice height for a woman to be.

Its good to have a moderate height than to be too tall or short.It would be the worse when you mingle with people who are quiet opposite to your height.sure your hubby can be classified to be a tall guy he is one inch taller than me lol

sunnycool have you ever heard that old old song five foot two, eyes of blue,has anyone seen my gal? That is how my husband used to tease me for being a shorty. nope I was not the tallest onein our family , sob sob I was the shortest one. Everyone had to reach the tope shelves for me
and all teased me for being a shrimp as a kid. So I cannot categorize myself as tall, but as short, really short.I am five foot two inches tall in flats.

I am not sure but height is a combination of genes and nutrition during many generations. There are some races that are tallest than others. I am tall in my country (not terrible now, because the population´s height has increased) but if I went to the US I´d be medium.
In my family we have all kinds of people. My older daughter is not so tall: she ytakes after some part of the family. The other one is very tall and her daughter (my grandaughter) is taller still.
I don´t think anyone should be embarrased by his height. The real height is inside.
Take care!

I have seen that there has been a increase in heights for each generation---its quiet evident in your case---your grand daughter being tall than you guyz.Height is an attribute which contributes to your inner beauty---it isnt everything

Hi sunnycool,
In most cases here in USA it good thing to be tall especially you are male. You get paid more in salary and you get reach for things at the grocery for ladies etc... The clothes look better on tall people and modeling you have to be at 5'-8" tall to have that type of good career. My daughter is 4'-10" and that will be height for the rest of her life. She constently wishes she was taller but God decide to make her small with huge heart.
Thanks and have a great day
Sincerely Unique16

I do not agree that tall people would have good salaries lol---we might have an advantage over others when it comes to personality especially while flirting with girls and yes modelling is a great oppurtunity to showcase ourselves.
Sorry for your daughter---i have a couple of girls in my class who were of the same height but they never exhibit their sadness that it bothered them and we never make fun of them either for being shorter than us .

I am about 5'10" and I think that is pretty normal. I guess being tall in my opinion would be about 6'2" and up.

I'm female, and I am 5'11. Yes, pretty tall for a girl. So there is no such thing as too tall for me. I mean until I went to college, there were no guys in my class who were taller than me. I guess if a guy was 6'7 he would start getting in the range of what I would classify for myself as too tall. But I really like tall guys. I would feel so weird going out with a guy a lot shorter than I.

When I went to Malaysia I noticed that the bunks on the trains are about 5 foot 6 ins long. They are fine for the local people because they are all short. I visited the Netherlands and she some very tall people there and that included the ladies. I am 5 foot 7ins and I think I am fairly tall and I am certainly not short. In the Netherlands I felt short but in Malaysia I felt very tall. Tall or short is a relative thing depending on where a person lives. In my home country for a lady I think being tall is over 5 foot 6ins. For a man being tall is over 5ft 10ins. A man that is 6 foot 4ins is very tall indeed. Nobody can choose their adult height. My secondary school friend looks 7 years old when she was 14 years old. By adulthood she reached 5 foot 9ins.

I heard of some women being more than 6 foot in UK and US.Its a combination of short and taller ones though which increases the average height of their countrymen.Asians are not known for their heights as much as they're well known for their skin complexion.Women anywhere between 5'6---5'8 can be considered to be normal height in my opinion

I stand 5'7" so I consider myself tall when I was in the Philippines but few weeks after I arrived here in Middle East, wow! I ashamed with my height because most of our hotel guest (I am working in a hotel here) are foreigners: British, American, French, Australian, and our the local people here. When I make a conversation with I felt I am too small. Maybe If we talked also in personal I felt the same.

Our 5'11" son was considered the tall one in our family (I was 5'1" and my husband 5'7"), but he is dwarfed by his 6'3" seventeen year old son. At just one inch over 5 feet, I frequently felt like a child among other adults until I went home to visit my mother, who was 2 inches shorter. My daughter was the tall female in the family at 5'3" until her daughters came along. Her older daughter is 5'6". Her younger daughter is the same height but at 14 is still growing.

Interesting topic. I suppose when you are over 7 feet tall that would be too tall, but too tall for who a 4 foot person. My boyfriend is 6 feet 5 and I am 5 feet 5 inches so I love his height as I have always been approached by men who were 5 feet 7 and shorter which was a major problem cause then I had to cater my shoes to not be way taller than them. So with my boyfriend I can wear 4 to 5 inch heals and still feel comfortable about height. 5 feet 7 inches in my opinion is too short for a man. I feel that the best height to be classified as tall would be 5 feet 10 inches. But again it is my opinion. :)
