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

I think it’s above average height but not excessively so. And at 9stone you’re not a giant.
One of my daughters is 6 ‘ she gets the tall gene from her dads side, they are all tall, my DH is 6’2”: my mother in law and three of her sisters were all
5’10.

Just slightly above average.

Not tall, average I'd say. I would class 5ft 10 and above as tall, maybe 5ft 9 at a push.

You’re taller than average but not significantly so!

Given that I’m 5”11 I’d hope not otherwise I’d be the BFG

I'm 5'7", I s as leats think I'm the tall end of the average bracket. I'd love to be taller, most of my friends are taller than me. My DD17 towers over me I'd never see some of 5'7" bad think they were tall.

Depends your age and nationality. I’m 5 ft 3 and most of my friends are in the same kind of range in mid 40s. 5ft7.5 would stand out as tall

young women seem a lot taller these days so imagine 5ft 7 would be average.

• I always think.

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 🤣

5'7" and below 9 stone is underweight.

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!

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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?

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.

😂

Pissing myself here (not literally!)

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

Happy to be of assistance

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.

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.

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

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
