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 would much much rather be a bit taller than be short. I think tall women look fab. I know plenty of 5’7 women and don’t think they are much above average.

I’m 5’ 7” and while above average, I don’t consider myself particularly tall.
I certainly don’t consider myself ‘big’ - that is more often a euphemism for ‘fat’ nowadays.

Same here. I'm 5'10" but I dont consider myself "big", just a bit taller than average is all. Peter Crouch for example is very tall but I certainly wouldnt describe him as "big" lol

I'm that height and feel probably a bit above average but not really tall. Definitely don't feel I stand out or a giant.

I'm 5 foot 5 and I don't feel tall. Quite a lot of my female colleagues are taller than me.

Well I’m 5 foot 10 so I must be a giant!! I do wear heels but nothing bigger than 3” . Luckily my husband is 6ft 1 .

I'm 5'1 (pretty short!) and my friends are mostly 5'4-5'5 so you're a bit above average but not very tall.

I suppose height is relative so it depends on the height of the people around you, whether you are considered tall or not .

I would say 5 ft 7 is medium height as there are much taller and much shorter women in the population. It is above average, however, due to how commonplace very short and petite women are .

What do you mean 'half female'?

This has really made laugh after a rough week
