My waist is about 5'7". So since that's my height as well... I'm extremely well-proportioned.

BTW: down here we measure men by beer displacement. I hope.

man, i'm 5'6" and the tallest in my entire family except for 1 uncle.

hahaha. my other chinese friend, he's 6'1" and he's the shortest in his family, including the females. anyone got inches to share?

Caspian · Post by **Caspian** » Aug 25th, '05, 02:16

Ahhh, 5"8 is not SHORT! omg, that's normal height =p I'm like 5"9 and that's normal height too.

Being too tall would suck. And too short would not be fun [for a guy] either. I think this middle height is just right =)

ninichen · Post by **ninichen** » Sep 9th, '05, 22:45

i'm 5'5" chinese female so I guess I'm not really tall but taller than most chinese girls...most of my asian girlfriends come to my shoulder or chin....lol

sadly i'm the shortest in my entire family, immediate and extended. my male cousins are all 6ft and my girl cousin is like 5'9"ish on both sides of my family...

i dunno how i missed out

and i like guys taller so its hard to find asian guys who are tall enough so that i can wear 3" heels...

Aww.. poor Becky Hammon. She's only 5'6, which is short for a point guard in the WNBA and having to guard Margo Dydek! SHE'S 7'2! .. Most WNBA centers are only 6'5.

LOL..

I'm 5'9 3/4 which is tall for an asian or non-asian girl.

VietZeus · Post by **VietZeus** » Sep 15th, '05, 20:24

I'm 6'2 but that is because I have been playing sport since I was a little kid. I was always active and like to jump around especially in soccer and basketball. My idol growing up was Michael Jordan and Vince Carter.

My favorite moment in history is when Vince Carter jump OVER a 7 feet french center at the Olympic and made a nasty dunk on the French.

I love to fly, although I think I'm afraid of height. I've been to some flying outdoor sport like bungee jumping and parachuting.

If there is one thing I wish to do with my life, it's being a fighter pilot.

F-15 eagle, F-16 Falcon, F-14 Tomcat, SR-71 the fastest plane on earth. I want to taste how it is like to fly really fast that makes your blood circulation to stop and you pass out.

It's proven that average men stop growing height at 21 BUT for girls they grow their height quicker than men: usually before the age of 12 or 13 but slowly gain height after that.

For guys, we tends to get taller after or during the age of 13. I used to look up to my cousin, who is a girl. She is about 5'11 (

). I used to look up to her and walking by her made me kind of embarrassed. Now I'm 6'2, I can always hold my head high anytime I walk by her.

She might be one of the reason why I wanted to gain height so bad.

FOR ALL MEN WHO ARE STILL UNDER 21 AND WISH TO GAIN HEIGHT: PLAY BASKETBALL!

Hello! I dont't really know how to make meters in "feet and inch", but i am like 1.70, or 1.71, but i would really want to be at least 1.75...

My boyfriend is like 2 meters and i feel so small when i walk with him and i always have to wear like 6-7 centimeters high-heels

(which i just adore, by the way

Oh, and to that boy that said it might me painful to waer that kind of shoes..it is, but once u get used to them, u becaome addicted to them

Néa Vanille · Post by **Néa Vanille** » Sep 25th, '05, 11:49

I'm about 5'5'' (165 cm) and here in Europe, that means I'm one of the shorter females.

I'm not so short that I draw any attention to me but it's fair to say that 6 out 10 girls I see on the street are taller than me. It never really bothered me, though, because in my opinion, it's always better to be a shorter female. All you shorter girls out there: being short is good! More guys to choose from!!

I've dated both white and Asian guys in my time (I myself am white) and the funny thing about that was that the two main white guys I've dated were 5'5'' and 5'7'' respectively whereas my Chinese ex was 6' and my current Japanese honey is 5'9''

It's funny how that sometimes goes!

Personally, I don't care about my partner's height, but I do want him to be at least 5'5'', since it looks strange when I'm shorter (I want to feel feminine around him, hence being taller and bigger is a no-no). 5'8'' - 5'10'' is ideal, I think.

And don't worry about having a tall bf, I'm sure they'll think ur quite cute!!

just ignore those people, taller doesn't mean so good, actually it's good but some of them looks really weird when they're frickin tall, i think small is cute too(not because i'm short too
