What Is Your Height And What Height You Wish You Were

POLL: do you like your height? Wish you were taller?

I always hear people say "oh I wish I was taller!" and I'm starting to wonder if I'm the only person who actually likes being short lol

I'm just under 5'2'', or 5'2'' max, and I think its the perfect height for me!

Girls, how tall are you and do you like your height?

Do you wish you were taller or shorter? How old are you and are you done growing? Also do you like to wear heels to look taller? Are you taller than your boyfriend? Or your brother? How is it?

Am I too tall? I HATE my height and feel like a giant and I hate it!! Please help?

Absolutely not. You are NOT too tall! I’m also a 5’6” girl. When I was in middle school I also hated my height. I wanted to be shorter because I thought it was cuter and girlier. 5’6” really isn’t all that tall but in 8th grade I felt like a giant and people would always ask me if I played basketball or modeled. Once I got to high school I grew to really love my height. Tall girls are actually really pretty and clothes look really great on us. Think about how graceful models look in magazines & on runways and they are waaay taller than us! I love my height and I actually wish I was little bit taller! In heels I look like a super giant and I feel very modelesque! Tall girls are beautiful and sexy. You’re an eye catcher and your height is definitely a PLUS! Embrace it!!! Now if I think back to when I wished I was shorter I’m asking myself “what the heck was I thinking?!”

Would you rather be tall or short for a girl? And some other height questions?

I'm about 5'7 and 14 years old.
I would honestly like to stay the way I am. There are somedays where I wish that I could be shorter though. Like at my school, I'm either taller or the same height as other girls, but most of the guys in my grade are shorter than me! Most olde guys are taller, but again they're older (even if it's by a year or two) And also I'd love to be able to wear heels without looking taller/giant.

BUT I'd also like to be taller (not too much maybe just an inch or too) because I wanna be a model one day. I actually get a lot of complements about it. Like I have the body and all I just need a bit of help with my breast. Also I like being taller because I have longer legs and some guys like longer legs(; Even though I can't wear heels, I can still look cute in my own way :D And being taller gives more advantage when it comes to some like basketball, maybe track/cross country, etc. Also I can reach higher places ;D

As for guys, like I said in my grade, most are shorter than me so of course they'll date petite girls. But it varies for guys. Some might like petite/short girls while others might like taller girls. I have tall friends with boyfriends and shorter friends that have boyfriends too. It all depends on the guy(:
I think that we should just be happy with who we are and not want to change anything because it makes us unique! Have a nice day! :D

I wish I were tall or I wish I was tall?

"I wish I were tall" is correct, because the verb should be in the subjunctive in this case.

Here's some info on the use of the subjunctive:
http://englishplus.com/grammar/00000031....

People use "I was" quite correctly for the simple past, but a police detective once told me that the use of the subjunctive is so rare that crime analysts (of ransom notes, say) would consider that an identifier.

So if you ever find yourself writing a ransom note, be sure to say, "I wish I was kidding, but I'm not!" That way, you will commit the same grammatical error as 90% of the population.
__________________________

In the second case, the first set of sentences are just two plain simple sentences jammed together without the right punctuation between them.

The first use is a run-on sentence, also called a "comma splice."

There are three ways to repair a comma splice:

> Make the sentences into two separate sentences:
John will go in the army. Sally will dance.

> Use a conjunction to make a compound sentence (as was done in the example):
John will go in the army and Sally will dance.

> Join the sentences with a semicolon instead of the comma:
John will go in the army; Sally will dance.

If you could change your height, how tall would you be, and how tall are you, now?

I’m 5′7 and 3/4ths.If I could change my height, I would aim to be 6′4. Being that tall I would immediately draw attention. Its hard noticing a guy walk into a classroom who is the same height as their teenage sibling.Plus, being taller also makes dating a whole lot easier. If I’m tall, its presumed things are bigger. Big hands, big feet? Exactly. It would mean bigger gloves, and bigger socks. Also, I’ve had this dream where I’ve wanted to cradle another woman’s head into my chest like you see in the movies. I can’t do this, because most of the women I do date are closer to my height.To offset my shortness, I make sure to walk with great posture. I stick my chest out, hold my head up high, and make sure I walk with a purpose. This often times creates the illusion that I am taller than I actually am (try it!). Another secret I do use from time to time is purchasing shoes that might make me a few inches taller. I have a pair of Nike Air Max shoes that make me feel like I’m 6′1.

I wish i was skinny.?

I'm 14 years old. 5'2 in height. I weigh i 128-130. I'm a little bit pretty, i dunno. I feel fat and i know i am. I look at other girls and there like 15 or 17, and there skinnier than me. I feel so.. Blah. Please someone help me to make me feel better or try to get my hopes up. I eat at least 3 or 2 meals a day, sometimes i purge, not always, only when i can. I feel awful. Please no haters. I just need tips. I don't want to be "that fat girl" for the rest of my life. Thank you.

Do you wish you were taller?

All. The. Damn. Time.Some context here. I’m 152cm, which is roughly 5ft.Being short really blows.I’m always pushed to the front for group photos, my awkwardness is on full display, front and centre.For some reason people think it’s alright to pet me on the head. For god’s sake I’m not your dog, why do people think that’s socially acceptable behavior?Always being treated as the “kid” of the group. Just because you’re shorter than your peers, people automatically assume you’re the youngest too. Where is the logic in that?Being in crowded places really stinks. Literally. I’m nose level to most people’s sweaty underarms. Trust me, the lack of air flow gets to you after some time. Also why I tend to avoid crowded places.Restricted view at concerts. Almost everyone is taller than me so any regular sized person standing in front of me blocks my view of the stage. And when people hold up their cameras it makes it even worse. Don’t get me started on people who bring freaking ipads to take videos.People casually leaning over and placing their elbows on my head as a joke. Do I look like an armrest to you?Clothes never fit right. Everything is too long.Gaining a little bit of weight is instantly noticeable when you’re short - less surface area for fat distribution.Getting mad at someone only to have them laugh in your face because “you're cute when you're angry”. Bitch I'm trying to make a point here.I could go on but you get the point. I just hate being short.To add insult to injury, my younger brother is 188cm tall (6′1). No prizes for guessing who won the genetic lottery.
