How tall are you?

[Swordlady]

Sam suggested for me to start a thread about height, so here it is. I'm trying to figure out if I'm the shortest person on MT (I'm five feet tall).

I know there's another height poll floating around, but the choices are a *little* too general. Don't be shy; it's not like I'm asking how much you weigh too.

Edited to add: By the way, Sam...two inches really do NOT make that much of a difference!

 

[Kacey]

5'5"

 

[Rich Parsons]

6'3"

Not the shortest nor the tallest

 

[Sam]

5'2" ish

maybe a bit taller...

your pretty tall there, Mr. Parsons

5'6"- not tall, not short (for a woman).

Yeah, well...those two inches *do* matter to us shorties trying to figure out who is the more vertically challenged. I was also teasing Sam, since she said something about almost always being the shortest.

 

[Toby]

5'7-ish.

 

[Lisa]

5'5 3/4"

yes, the 3/4 of an inch is important!

 

[bluemtn]

You're not short! It's just that everyone else was wearing something on their feet to make them SEEM taller!

 

[Ceicei]

5'5 3/4"

yes, the 3/4 of an inch is important!

That is my height also, although I tell people I'm 5'5" (rather than 5'6").

I am 6 feet tall and in Hawaii that is tall I see head and shoulders over everyone.

My wife is 5 feet tall on a good day and standing straight up.

Call on me any time if you need a can off the top shelf. =)

 

[fightingfat]

I'm 6'4", my wife is 5'2"!!!

 

[Jade Tigress]

I'm 5'6"...most people think I'm taller..

 

[Cryozombie]

I'm 5'11 inches.

Personally, I wouldnt mind being short. Short is good for a lot of reasons, not the least of which would be being underestimated as a "threat" thereby overlooked... But I can think of a dozen reasons being small would be good.

Being short sucks.

It has its advantages in the martial arts universe, but do you know how embarassing it is to ask your instructor to hand you your shoes when someone's put them on the soda machine so a toddler running around doesnt eat them?

I look particularly huge while doing Tai-Chi with my Chinese Instructor! *grin*
