No :eek: its not what you think...lol

How tall are you? :D

meow.

Ah ha, I fell into the "average" category of six feet... I loved being taller than everyone in high school.. darn growth spurt :)

William

It's mini me :D I am only 5' 3" and 1/2 on a good day..lmbo

well.. I used to be 5'7...... I'm shrinking. I am now 5'6and 3/4. :)

ack im 4'11" oh well im only 13!

i'm 5'1" and curious why your polling this... lol
Certainly you are not postulating that height and ADD are correllated, so what is it you are looking at?

By the way, for those out there who spend any time worrying about being small or short, here is the answer that worked for me:

I'm not a small person or a short person...I'm a Gigantic PERSON in a small package, and my friends will confirm that my physical body, while quite appealing, can hardly contain the size of my person! If my body were 8 feet tall, it could not contain me!

Try that on for size! When I first heard something like it, I loved it, and I never forgot it. I embelished it a little, because I like to do some creative writing. Change it as you wish.

Actually, Jon...

It's just a simple poll...no sinister or hidden agendas here :)

I think you are going to end up with a Bell curve eventually. Its already starting to look like one. I'm guessing that the average height in the center of the curve between 5'0 and 5'7 would indicate a higher proportion of female members. Am I correct; are we more female than male?

Jon

We'll find out in the next Poll :D

Rather funny and ironic that a guy who goes by the handle "BIG" would make the statement does size matter! :-))
LMFAOff!!!!!!!

i'm 5 ft "7"

Well, big, you knew you got my attention on this one. When I read it I was like HUH?

I'm 5'6 or is it 5'6 1/2

I'm 5'11.

5'2" -- I'm a petite female....and guys no matter how you look at it.....size doesn't matter.......my honest opinion.....it's the person that counts.....the biggest person in the world can seem/feel real small .....and the correlary.....a small person can seem/feel very large....(interpret these as you wish) :)

Yep...and some big people can feel/seem really big too ;)

We have made a perfect bell curve!

;)

Hey Jon -- Calling Jon -- Healthwiz -- Jon -- Yo Jon - Misclee has concluded that bellcurve you were talking about!!!!!:) :) You were absolutely right......

im only 5ft 1 and a 1/4 lol that quarter means alot to me !!!

but as i always say at least i get rained on last!!!!! lol

Lynne

I just barely got into my catagory.. I'm 5'8"

5' 3 "

I'm 4'11" -- and I LIKE my size except for when I need something from the top shelf at the grocery store...

I play in this poll but if you start one about how much we weigh I wont play with you anymore

Grin

lol. I would never.... :)

I'm 5'11". Does that screw up the bell curve? Hope so... ;-p

Nope, it doesn't....Aforceforgood...puts you just about in the middle:)

Ha! This pole got my attention for sure...Now tell us..is bigger better????? LOL>>>>

Debra: No "right" answer...It's ALL up to you....What do YOU think????:)

6 Foot Tall Amazon Woman here, hehe.

My dad and brother are both 6'8" and I met a guy last night who was 6'9". I felt short *happy sigh* (altho I've accepted my height and *love* it - it's always nice for me to feel short ;) )

im 5 2....

This is an evil thread. You know how I know? Look at the threadid number in the address bar. :D :D :D

Oh yeah, and 5'8" here. :D

Nothing evil about it :D

Sorry guys, the bell curve is gone.

5'0" here

Right heres a weird one, I am 6ft 3 inches,
and i feel as if i am about 5.5 until that is i put my mothers glasses on,
then i seem to feel about same to my size.

maybe i need glasses (do not ask why i am putting my mums glasses on) :)

Actually, with two populations, men and women, we should expect a curve with TWO humps, if the resolution of the interval separates the two populations.

(something fun I learned, out side of class form a Biology professor.)

5'10. I'm the woman all the really short old women in the grocery stores ask to get things for them off the top shelf. That is my purpose in life.

I am 6'1"

I'm 5'5" and ONE HALF.. with shoes :D

My LITTLE sister, who is 5'8" WITH SHOES, and boyfriend who is 6'2 1/2" WITH SHOES like to pat me on the head, call me elf girl, and tell me that short people have no reason to live. I'm not even short. I don't get it. Until I was 10, I was the TALL girl in school. I shot up like a sprout and seemed to stop while I was ahead- I blame the coffee, which I starting guzzling at 12.

There's no point to this? How can I pass it up!

5' 1/2". I'm desperately hoping my kids settle down a little before they're bigger than me.... ;)

5'10"

krip: My wife went off to Montreal with her sister this summer for a few days. The night she was due back the kids and I were a little giddy. The two older girls (16,14) decided that it was probably time to prove they were big enough between the two of them to get the better of me. 45 minutes later while gasping for breath and all laughing so hard we couldn't talk, it was over.. and still Champion...hehh Thank the stars too because I could not have gone another round! < g > Best fun I've had in ages..
Cheers! Ian.

5' 1" here, 5'3" with hair and shoes. DH and I are the shrimps in our respective families of enormous ppl. Nobody under six feet, including girls.

I know what you mean krisp. Not only are are kids going to be bigger than we are, we are outnumbered 2 adults to 5 kids. I think I'd better start saving to bribe the evil ringleader.

Compared to my sister I am a squirt but My mother on the other hand...hehe she is a munchkin. I think she is shrinking....LOL

Well my license says I am 5'0" but that only cause it doesn't leave room for quaters and I am closer to 5ft than 4'11". LOL!
So if you wanna get technical I am 4'11" & 3 quarters.
And I also don't mind my height except when in a store or because I have to hem all me pants. Can't find Jr's sizes in a 28 lenght. Even petite are still an inch or two too long!

Ehm... I'm not good with feet and inches. I'm 1.74 meter.

Size matters - I like being taller than someone, but I also like my boy-frien being taller than me.

If I have to be short(5'1") I'm glad I'm female because short guys (5' 7" and shorter) get a bad rap. I mean most women like tall guys. I'm not saying all women I'm saying most- like me. My husband is 1 and a half feet taller than me and I think we look kinda cute together.

Haha ... "Does SIZE really Matter?" ... It seems like many of u here had the false impression of what the topic is really about (hehe u know what I mean) :D

Im not a really tall person being at 171 cm. Most of my classmates are taller than me. I dont think being short matters anyway, but being short-tempered sure matters! :D

I'm one of the lil'ones!................5'1and yes 3/4"!!!!!!

I'm the midget in my family :(

This place has more polls than a political convention! I love it!

I'm 5' 2 & 7/64". I weigh 115 pounds. (I know, that tears it...) ;)

(Alway happy to mess with the system!)

5'7 1/4... and I weigh 170 pounds! Oh yeah! I'm almost a heavyweight for my height! The last 10 lbs to gain is the hardest... I was gaining 10 a month for about five months, until two months ago, when I leveled off at 170... grr... My goal for the year is to hit 200 pounds... I'll be really big and buff then! :-p I know this had little to do with height, but oh well.

I'm not quite 5'2" and I remember as a kid always asking the nurse in school each year when she measured me, "Did I make it to 5'2" yet? I never did and even my Mother is taller then me, although she is shrinking now a bit :). I don't mind being a petite female cept when I have to get a step stool to reach high things. One thing I always have gotten a kick out of is when I take of my shoes and people are shocked at how short I really am, it's so funny :).

I remember getting really concerned when my growth started slowing down and I hadn't reached 5'0" yet. Of course, there was no need to worry ... I wound up a towering 5' and almost1"!

5'9"

I am 5'6" short.

I am 5'6" short.
:( I am 5'3"

Dang! Who's the one that's 6'8" to 6'11" ????

Sounds like my hubby's family! He's the "shorty" out of the bunch at 6' even.

Me? Lil' handful o'dynamite! 5'4"

about 5' 4", i think

(get with the metric program, why don't you?!;-))

just realised this is my 666th post...
:eek:

I'm 5'10"....that's right, the best dancing partner...line is to the left :p




(watch...this is my 250th post wooooo hoooo)

Congrats on 250, Andi!

As I stated somewhere else in this post (I think) I'm 6'3" tall.

I am 5'6" with a hubby that's 6'4" My neck hurts when I stand next to him :p

The statistician in me is loving this nice normal distribution...the problem is it's shifted up slightly more than it should be...but that might be if there are more males than females responding, perhaps...that and the ranges include where the slope-offs should be.

I'm 5' 10" which these days is not that tall for a woman, but when I was little did I ever stick out like a sore thumb! Of course, that probably wasn't the only reason, eh? :D

Im 5'8. Was always the tallest in my class until High School. Then there were a few taller than I was. My OM is 6'1''. Which is just right...if Im bare footed and he has his boots on. But having legs as long as mine makes it hard to find pants long enough. For some reason clothing designers seem to think anyone that is a size (mumblemumblemumble) is about 5'2.

I'm 5'7" and a bit... I think I'm done growing too.

5' 8"
with heels i'm 6 ft...

umm johnathon,
we're talking about height.

That was too funny!!! I am 5ft 3in...getting back to the topic at hand. I guess I am average, but I wish I was shorter than I am. Jeans fit better when you are shorter. :)

Five foot two and a half, on a good day, in shoes. My hubby is six foot seven, so we are quite the odd couple.

I stand 4' 11 and 3/4'' tall. No matter where i am i am always the shortest lol. It does not bother me as i like to pass unoticed most of the time. :cool:

Digitl

5'3 and 3'4inches. I am on the short side, always have been, but always wanted to be tall!

My head is SO large that I can never find a hat that fits!
So, in the summer when my forehead and balding spot need shade SIZE does matter. :D

hey im a "Shawtiee" as my best friend calls me lol
ha ha.. love it tho so .. ah well.. I am 5'1".. barely ..lol heh heh

Im short next to my nephew and he is still growing...just the right size next to my niece amy we see eye to eye at the moment...and tall next my youngest niece. oh okay i give in im average, but tall to my mom...she is teeny tiny. okay im 5'4"

5ft 4 in and Iam the tallest in the family! Ha. I have never really minded being short, when I was in the Navy the Tall guys always whacked thier heads on stuff, karma says its not nice to make fun of people.

I am 5 ft. 11 in. on most days, well really everyday, when I don't slump. :)

As a kid growing up, I was always a runt compared to kids who lived around me.

Somewhere in 7th grade, I started catching up with the other kids..

I'm 5'3" and it's already clear to me that three of my four kids are likely to be taller. I am learning to accept this (ha ha).

Shrugs, it really has never bothered me to be my height, because this is how I was made. If I want to be taller, I wear heels or stand on a bench. If I want to be shorter, I sit down. :P

Sunshine

Mine will be too-- we already wear the same size shoes

Im actually 5'3" and 3/4. But I polled at 5'4". My best friend is barely 4'11" and after 25 years of standing next to her, I have always felt tall, but her character has always towered over me and many others.

I am 5 feet 5 and so is my husband,my daughter is already the same height and shes 15,and my son is little for his age,takes after us I guess.

Hi everyone! :)...is my first itme in this chat room....i really wonder how it works....?

a hug full of love and energy for everyone

Almy

i'm 75 inches here.;)

I've been told that I've actually SHRUNK an inch or so in height!? Sigh :(

From the shape of the curve suggested by the poll data, I would infer that height has nothing to do with ADHD.
It might be worthwhile to take a similar poll with regard to weight.

Me :D

I think I'm 5'8 or 5'8 1/2 or 5'9.

Trust me. Once you are over 5'8 as a female, it doesn't really matter how tall you are because "you are tall". (Unless you are a professional model. Then 1/2 inch would make or break a modeling deal I guess.)

My whole family is tall. My mom, my dad, my 2 brothers and 2 sisters.

When growing up, all the boys in school were "vertically challenged". (That's the politically correct way to say "short" now days).

There were a few of us tall girls in my class that were always in the back row in all of our class pictures throughout elementary school. Then in the summer of 8th grade, as everyone is going into highschool, the boys finally grew.

My daughter has gone through the same thing as I did. She was one of the tallest girls throughout grade school. She just started highschool and is finally able to look eye to eye with fellow classmates.

She is finally coming to accept her height. All her friends have petite feet and she (we) wear size 9. She's 5'7-5'8, 14 years old, and wears a size 1-2 long in jeans). I told her that if her feet were as small as her friends and she is this tall, she'd fall over, so luckily her feet match her height. :)

When my entire family goes somewhere, like to church for a special occasion or out to dinner, we all stand very tall. I like that my daughter is able to see that we are tall and proud of it.

If you look at that curve, 5' 8" is not so tall. It is as typical s 5'4" and very close to the mean. :p

Tall is over 6', if one believes the curve... :)

LOL I am 5' 4" and once dated a woman who was 6' 4". She was tall, to say the least. :faint:

Me :D

I've been told that I've actually SHRUNK an inch or so in height!? Sigh :(


:O You have NOT shrunk, you're just as tall as ever. Sigh, another thing that I have to prove.

You tower over MY 5'10", so I think you're safe :)
