to wonder if a 5’7 female is ‘big’

I'm 5 foot 7 and know what you mean at times. I feel very tall around smaller women, even tho I know I'm not really.

I'm glad of my height because I can get away with putting a few pounds on and it not be so obvious.

According to the internet the average height in the UK for a woman is 5 foot 3, so by that you would definitely be taller than average.

I'm 5'11 and feel like a giant compared to all my friends, it doesn't bother me and I can get things off the top shelf in the supermarket unlike my teeny tiny mum at 5'2.

I’m 5’8 and consider myself to be moderately tall. I have long legs so need to wear tall clothing for bottom half. But I don’t think it’s ridiculously tall. Just a little taller than average.

5 7 is tall for a British woman because most Brit men aren't much taller.

But strikingly tall or supermodel so then no. You would be rather small in the Netherlands!

It’s not ‘big’. Taller end of average. Tallish but nothing that would stand out.

I'm 5'7"and would have said I'm on the taller side of average

I mean I’m 5ft so yeah I think you’re tall, but even someone 5ft1 is tall in my books 🤣

So obviously I have the complete opposite problem.

5'4" is average height for women in the UK so yes 5'7" is tall but not extremely tall, just regular tall. I would say over 5'10" is very tall

I think height is relative; I am 5ft'6 and have been called both short and tall.

I’m a whisker over 5.8. I’m taller than 75% of other women and about 50% of men. I’ve never considered myself tall but people describe me as tall? My friend growing up was 6ft so I felt short in comparison. But doctors and stuff have described me as tall 🤷🏻‍♀️ honestly when I’m with my 5.2 petite SIL I feel like the jolly green giant.

My 5ft 9 DD seems to specialise in 5ft friends. She looks a giant compared to them. My 5ft 8 DD goes for taller (5 ft 8+) friends. So she looks average to short. My 5ft 4 DD has average height friends, so looks entirely average.

I’m 5 ft 51/2 - so not massively shorter than OP - and feel very average.

😂

Pissing myself here (not literally!)

Obviously it means OP is female and is 5'7.

Happy to be of assistance

I'm 5'7" and am very average around London/south east.

In Amsterdam I was mostly short in stature.

In Belgium I was very tall. I reakon it's because they don't drink much milk, and they haven't got fresh milk. It's all UHT.

I don't understand your post OP - do you never go out in society, so have no idea of the relative height ranges of other humans?

Yep, I used to be the tallest woman always in a room at 5.11 but not any more, I rarely feel tall these days.

It was abnormally tall when I was at school (I'm mid-40s). I was teased for it something rotten: called Big Bird and told the helicopters were coming to do my hair! I always wore flats and developed a horrendous stoop, for which my mother used to tell me off. At that age I'd have given my back molars to be a few inches shorter.

Nowadays, it's relatively usual.

Most my friends are around your height

I’m 5’2 so often feel small. When I go to Germany or Holland I feel tiny

I'm the same height and I'm average amongst my female friends, and colleagues. some are much taller. Some are shorter.

yes you are tall. Taller than many but not exceptional or "eyebrow raising" tall.

i'd say 5ft 3 - 5ft 6 is the average/most common range

i'm 5 ft 9 and 10 stone. i feel like a huge manly giant compared to a lot of other women. i'm broader framed and taller than most other women i encounter. Not the flabbiest though - a lot of overweight people!

i's say most women i'm friends with are around 5 ft 3 to 5 ft 6. So i'm not massively taller but i do feel like a wider, scaled up version. hate it and have never felt feminine enough as i've got a boxy shape and no waist.

i'd say i'm taller than 50% of men i encounter too. A lot of short guys in the UK.

6 foot. 5 foot 7 is not very tall to me!

I'm 5'7".Never felt huge. It's maybe a bit on the taller side but not particularly.

Also when I drop to sub ten stone I look unwell. I think at that height you're BMI is under the healthy range.

I'm 5'9 I am taller than average. I do not feel like a giant. MIL and DHs aunt are around the same height as me and DHs female cousin is several inches taller. At Christmas I actually felt small as DH FIL, uncle and male cousin are all 6'2-6'5. I don't often wear high heels as then I do feel conspicuously tall (also I can't walk in them). I'm not sure why height is something to be embarrassed about? I never have to ask men to reach things for me!

5'7" and below 9 stone is underweight.

Depends on who you hang around with...... I grew early and was massive compared to all my fiends but as times gone on I'm pretty average albeit slightly taller than some..... I'm 5ft6 and 8st. Sometimes I do wear heels but not often but that's cos ima nurse so inappropriate most days, and I have insecurities from growing fast as a child and towering over everyone but actually it would not at all be unreasonable at my height to wear heels if I fancied it and I have done pre child when I used to be able to go out and enjoy myself 🤣
