to wonder if a 5’7 female is ‘big’

[moonmoon123]

I’m a 5’7 and a half female, in your completely honest opinion do you think I’m tall or average height. I feel massive and huge next to every other girl, don’t wear heels ever and hate it.
im just under 9st and feel I just look like this absolute giant.
I never am called tall by anyone but believe I am.
In your opinion is 5’7-5’8 ‘really tall’ for a female

No it’s not really tall, I’m 5ft 8 and am average height among my friends.

What do you mean 'half female'?

I'm 5'7 and think of myself as average height. I'm probably a tiny bit taller than average in reality but I come from a tall family and have some tall colleagues so I sort of feel like I'm in the middle. I certainly don't feel tall other than if I'm standing next to my really tiny tiny friend.

And I’m 11st, at 5ft 7 and 9 stone you are in no way a giant 🙄

Go to Germany or the Netherlands, far away from Hobbiton.
There 5 foot 7 is small.

Tall in my circles

It’s well above average height. These statistics are available online. Average height is about 5’3 in the UK depending on which source you look at.

Do you hang out with really tiny people? 🤣
I’m 5’8” and I am taller than average but feel perfectly normal sized

I think op meant she's 5 foot 7 and a half, female.

I’m 5’10 and don’t feel particularly tall nowadays. When I was younger (40 now) people always used to comment on my height but nobody ever does now. I’d say 5’7 is average…certainly not tall.

I'm 5ft10 so I'd say your average.

Ffs ignore me

I'm 5"2 , most females I know personally are between 5foot and 5'4 so to me you are quite tall yes.

7 1/2 inches

No not really tall. Slightly above average probably. All your friends must be really petite if you feel huge next to them!

No, not head turningly tall at all these days.

Are your mates quite short?

I'm 5'5'' and my 3 20 something DDs are all taller than me. No.2 is about your height and she loves heels and doesn't look or 'feel' tall.

I think you must be mixing with small friends. You are an ideal height. I’m 5’10” and have always wished to be a couple of inches shorter but 5’7” -5’8” is a great height. Would never want to be short. Why do you think models have to be so tall?

Wow at the self-deprecation there. Should other 5' 7 women run and hide in shame?

I think 5'6 to 5'8 is considered average height for women but it depends who you're around. You could be the tallest or shortest amongst people you see everyday or right in the middle.

I thought the same so it’s not just you.

I'm 5'7 and feel very average. I'd hoped to be 5'9, I think that's a nice height.

Really?!

5’7.5 is above average height for a woman in both Germany and the Netherlands. So, no, it’s not “small” in either of those places.

I’m the same height and 8 stone 9 pounds. I do have long legs, so sometimes struggle with trousers, but I refer to myself as “short tall”.

Basically it’s 5’8 minimum to be a fashion model, so I consider those women truly tall.

I'm 5 ft 2 and I think 5 ft 3.5 is the average female height where I am (East Coast of Scotland). So yes, 5 ft 7 would be considered tall and I am jealous.
