I don't wanna be tall.
I think I'm about 5'4 but I haven't checked recently because I'm scared I'll be taller and in the range of being "tall"
I really want to stay short/at least average.
Is this normal or am I nuts?
(I'm a female by the way)
If you want a rough idea of your natural adult height, add your mother and father's height, subtract five inches, and divide by two.
Short of starving yourself to such a degree that you're so malnourished that your body stops growing, there's nothing you can do to change that final number, and fretting about it is pointless.
Studies have found that tall people have many advantages in life. They tend to be healthier and happier with their lives, and more successful in their careers. Also, people instinctively assume tall people are smarter than average and naturally assume they have more authority. I'm 6'4", and once I stopped worrying about people commenting about my height, it has never caused me any serious problems.
The average height of women in the USA is what you are now, and it is true that some guys won't want a girlfriend who's taller than they are. But there are also a lot of attractive, intelligent, successful, nice guys out there who are a taller than you, and some of them feel self-conscious about being seen with women who are much shorter than them. (Some guys also have a fetish for tall women, but I won't get into that.)
There's nothing you can do about your height, so you might as well accept it. Try to focus on the benefits that being taller than average would give you, and stop worrying about the fact that you won't be a cute little doll.
Why? I don't understand how anyone can see being tall as a negative thing.
i dated a six foot tall woman one time for four years. as long as you can get her feet up over her ears , she three foot tall folded in half. yippee ki yay. Now im going to the music video and look at her again . shit.
I'm 6 Ft 8 inches. It is definitely a plus to be tall. However being tall and obese is not in any way advantageous.My waist is 36 inches, my shoulders are 52 inches, I weigh 225 Lbs and I'm 66 years young. In high school i weighed 210 and my waist was 34.
