To think I AM tall

[Taller]

I am a 5 foot 9 woman.

I think I am tall for a woman.

My DH and BIL's are all 6 foot 4 / 5 and are always joking about how small I am.

Seriously. I am tall... aren't I?

(Lighthearted!)

Yep 5 ft 9 is quite tall for a lady.

But if the rest of your family is 6 ft and over then to them you're not that tall really.

I know 3 brothers. One is 6 foot 3, one is 6 foot 1, and one (the middle one,) is 5 ft 10 (which is fairly tall for a man.) Yet they call him shortarse! It's all relative, but yes you are a bit taller than average for a woman I would say.

Your Dh and BIL would love me - I am 5'1

If they want to meet a real short person, they should meet me

Average for a western woman is 5'4" and even shorter for eastern women, so yes, you're a good 5 inches above average!

Yes you're tall, my DD and sis are the same as you and are taller than most other women around us. I'm 6 ft so of course they seem titchy to me

I'd love to be just a couple of inches taller, lol.

But then I consider myself lucky to be tall at all since my mum is 5 foot 1!
I averaged because my dad is 6 foot 3 😂

It's hilarious to see my mum stood next to my DH! 😂

I think 5 foot 9 is a perfect height, I feel at 6 foot I'm too tall for heels and feel like I tower over lots of people, my DH is 5 foot 10 so I feel like I dwarf him. I'm always aware of my posture and try not to slouch. My DD and sis are more comfortable with their height and I wish I was their height too.

Yes, you are tall OP. But I imagine the perspective from up where your DH and BILs are makes it quite hard to tell

You're taller than me, yah.

Not difficult tho. I'm 5ft.

I love being 5tf 9 but I still the second smallest in my family . My mum is smallest. But she shrinking now .

I'm 5ft 8ins which is only an inch smaller than you but I don't feel particularly tall. At school i was always one of the tallest but people soon caught up with me. Now I'm working there are more people around my height than there are smaller than me.

Yes, you're tall.

You're tall for a woman. I'm 5'6" - as are all the women in my family, except one sis who is 5'8" - she's the tall one

Most women don't want to be very tall - because they like to be 'shorter than the man they're dating'. Unless they're a catwalk model I suppose.

It's about perspective though - I'm 5' 5" and most of the women in my family are 5' 1" at the most so I feel positively gigantic!

But what's so good/superior about being tall though?

I think you're tall- but then again I'm only 4'8" so everyone is tall to me

No idea. I just wish I was taller.

I'm 6 feet tall and absolutely love it. Always have and I wear heels all the time.

I'm 5ft 10 and always felt tall until I met my friend a few years ago, she's 6ft1. When I stand next to her I feel how average women feel standing next to me it's ace.

I used to listen to a dance mix of that song
Yes op you are tall
I'm 5ft 1 and really tall men, like that 6' 4 category, I find really intimidating.
I would love to be your height.

5'9" here too (though shrinking with age) and I've always considered myself tall (for a woman) until I started visiting the Netherlands. I feel rather petite when I go there

I'm 5'10 & I'm tall. You're tiny at 5'9

I felt very little in my kitchen today, standing in between DS who is 6'3 & his friend who is 6'7. It was nice to feel like a petite little thing, just for once
