it's a measuring system commonly used by americansNoale wrote:I don't understand the way of measuring that's being used here, but I'm 167 cm's tall, which can be considered short, especially in my country, where only giants live ^^ But I'd rather be small than tall
1 inch ~ 2.54 cm
1 feet = 12 inches
so, if you're 167 cm heigh then it's around 65.7 inches, so it makes it about 5'475 rounding it to 5'5
Unfortunately for me, I'm 183 cm heigh (6'0), which makes me a giant as a girl... I'd prefer to be your height Noale.

Very confusing, all these different systems, but I'm starting to get a hang of it now!Star Candy wrote:it's a measuring system commonly used by americansNoale wrote:I don't understand the way of measuring that's being used here, but I'm 167 cm's tall, which can be considered short, especially in my country, where only giants live ^^ But I'd rather be small than tall

Well in my country you'd fit right in. Also, being your height is beautiful nowadays. Just look at all the models. Either way, whether you're tall or short, I think it can all be considered pretty as long as the person knows how to work it! ^^

I'm 5'6 which is average height, but compared to ppl in my family I'm short. Grrrrrrrrr I have a height complex 'WHY THIS SUBJECT'??? How can I compare, if I was just 5'7 or 5'8 it would be kewl. Though, being 5'6 I have better opportunities with guys who are not very tall. As long as the guy is taller than me hehe, but I rather him be tall.
i dislike the new generation the short ones are really short like... 5 feet-ish on average and the few giants well they're giants... about... a foot to a a foot and a half higher than everyone else
i'm between the shorter kids and the new super tall kids(roughly 6" apparently i had another growth spurt else i'd be 5"8 )
problem is there seems to be more of the latter nowadays making me feel short by comparison
(side note: so me a sexist but it doesn't help to have girls tower over you either makes you feel really inadequate )
oh and this is in Malaysia by the way so 6" over is rather high thus far...

I bet you'll grow late. All my uncles were shrimps until like... 16 or 17, and then they became ~6'3" in the blink of an eye. xDxKyandi wrote:dude im 15 and im 4'10 -_-
and worst of all!
im a guy!
how am i supposed to get anyone now? T__T
Also, there are girls out there who find short guys cute! Especially girls who've watched the movie Love Com.... xDD You might be forced to wear barrettes in your hair sometimes, though. xP
As for me, I'm 5'6.5" and I want to be shorter! I feel like a giant oaf. I always read these fantasy books where the main female character is TINY and delicate and graceful (sometimes descended from the Fair Folk xD) and I feel like a huge giant. I'm thin, but I wish I could be small! It's much more feminine, I think.
Ah well. xD I guess I'm going to have to live with my height.

I'm about 5'6" - 5'7", I guess...and I'm practically overweight (My BMI's about 28!)
Among my circle of friends, I'm not only taller, but also bigger in size than most of them.
But it's ok for me, I'm happy being me. Of course I wanna fit in better in crowds (I usually stand out in crowds when the crowd consists of my friends! Hehehe...). I used to slightly hunch to stop being so easily noticed (I'm rather low profile).
Still, I'm thankful for the way I am. It's what makes me, me.
To me, there r always advantages n disadvantages on being either tall or short. What makes people notice u is how u present urself. Self confidence comes from within. That's just my simple opinion.

are u serious? dont make fun of shorties. we're cute! and cuteness is lethal ! *wachaaa!*draco wrote:pinch both of your earlobes before sleeping and right after waking up, it will help you with your growth (height), esp. if you are in puberty stage.
PS: YOU MUST DO IT ON BOTH OF YOUR EARLOBES otherwise your left and right side of body won't be growing at the same rate.
No.. I don't make fun of shorties lol.. I'm serious, I think I've read it somewhere... pinching your earlobes will stimulate your body to produce more growth hormone.. or something like that if I'm not mistaken.. it's all about acupressure and stuff.. I don't know more detail thoctdidie wrote:are u serious? dont make fun of shorties. we're cute! and cuteness is lethal ! *wachaaa!*draco wrote:pinch both of your earlobes before sleeping and right after waking up, it will help you with your growth (height), esp. if you are in puberty stage.

[quote="regregreg"]I'm 158 cm (~5'2") and I don't want to be taller because most guys say they love small and cute girls more. ^.^[/quote
@reg
Mmmm, thats sometimes true, but the guy I like teases me about my height. [He doesn't even know I like him]
>_<
How old are you?[To be 5'2"]
I'm a 4'10" Freshman.
Typical Asian!

Dude! I like TOTALLY echo that feeling. A few years back, when I was like, 19?, I was @ a SportsChalet, I think, and this kid went up to me and said, "hey there baby, how would you like to go out on a date with me?" and I turn around and like, OMG I swear he was like 12 years old!!! He was with his brother who was probably 7 years old! and I just remember trying so hard not to crack up but @ the same time feeling... arghLovelymagic wrote: I'm attracting the damn wrong crowed because I'm short! This sucks.
Oh and this kid and his brother were white, and you can always tell when they're young esp around those ages. I'm Filipina, so maybe they didn't realize it, but man!
I'm only 5'8.5 I feel short ever since I started highschool and college because, the boys who I went to highschool with, I use to tower them back in elementary kids! *cries* I use to be the tallest in my class from pre-frist - 6th grade. And now... I feel sort. Always wanted to be 6.0' That's my ultimate goal ;_; But... Girls usually stop growing like.... 16-ish and I'm already 20.... so yah. But I do feel tall when I'm next to my boyfriend ^_^U
