Michelle My Bell Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) Just curious. I am 5"8 and have felt pretty tall most of my life. Edit: Sorry I left off 5.10-5.11 on the poll. I don't know what I was thinking??? I can't change it however. I tried. Edited October 24, 2010 by Michelle My Bell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rootsnwings Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Ummmmmm either thenpoll is a bit skewed or else I answered incorrectly! I am 5'9", so I chose the 5.8-5.9 options but then reized the next option was 6.0--as in 6'?? There are no options for 5'10-5'11".... Unless we're going by percentages & then I have no idea how to calculate that! :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Word Nerd Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I claim to be 5'2" but I'm not quite there. The funny thing is I'm still the tallest of three sisters, and we're all taller than Mom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we're going by percentages & then I have no idea how to calculate that! :p 9" is three quarters of a foot so you would be 5.75'. Or you can take your height in inches and divide by 12. I'm 5'2", so 5.167' :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audrey Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 For years I would say I was 5'10" because I always thought I was freakish, but I'm really 6' tall. I love it now. And, I wear heels... a lot. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwenhwyfar Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 5'8" ~ which isn't really 'tall', but it's taller than every female on my mother's side, every female on my father's side, and all of my female in laws. :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugs Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I answered "other" because I am 5"9.5". My 14 year old daughter is now 5'10" so I have to claim every 1/8" I can. I think I will be the shortest in my immediate family but I'll have to wait for a couple of years until my 5'4" 12 yo sprouts. I've almost always been the tallest of my friends. It hasn't been since I started hsing that I have gathered taller friends IRL and on the board :D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ereks mom Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) :001_smile: If it means 5'5", I would vote 5.5-5.6, since I'm 5" 5 1/2", but that isn't an option in the poll.

JudoMom Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I'm 5'4". I like my height just fine (though I always thought I'd be taller), but I've got short legs. I joke that I'm built like a Hobbit (I've got wide feet, too), and longer legs would come in handy in Judo and with running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeannie in NJ Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I am 5'1 and have always liked being short. My mom was 5'2, grandmom was 5 ft even and my dd is just under 5 foot (she is adopted but still fits into our short women family), doctor has said that she will not grow any taller (her only goal is to try and grow taller than me lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicole M Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 For years I would say I was 5'10" because I always thought I was freakish, but I'm really 6' tall. I love it now. And, I wear heels... a lot. :D That's funny, the freakish part. I always said I was 5'9" because as a teen that was how tall I was the last time I was measured. Then when my kids were little, they wanted to put a mark on the wall for Mommy, and I was shocked that I was actually 5'10". All those years I thought I was shorter, and wanted to be closer to 6'. Now, of course, I'm shrinking, and have shorter days and taller days. I think 510" must be the "acceptable" height, for both women and men. I've known many men, quite a bit shorter than I am, who have claimed they were 5'10". (In your dreams, buddy.) I thought it curious the first time I heard it, silly the next times.

momtotkbb Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 WOW! I will have to show dd this poll. She at times feels like a giant at 5'9. I'm 5'2.5 --I have to include the 1/2:001_smile: I always told my kids I was 5'3 --you know rounding and all - then they measured me once while waiting in the Dr's office and found the truth. With the exception of my 7 yo I'm the shortest in our family --dh is 6'5; oldest ds is 5'11; middle ds is 5'6 and still growing. My parents, brother, etc. are all tall too.
