Is size important?

I am the only shrimp in a tall family. I'm 5' 1. My mother wasn't too tall, she was about 5'4, but my dad was 5'11. One of my brothers is 5'10 and the other is 6'. My late husband was 6' 1 and whenever we danced together I could only see his tie :D . I have 3 children and 2 grandchildren. My son is "only" 5'10 (short, to me, compared with his dad) and my older daughter is 5' 2; the younger one is 5' 7. My 6 year old granddaughter is already 4' tall and my grandson is 6' 4. I get a crick in my neck if I talk to him and we're both standing up.

Does it matter? I would love to be about 5' 6 and my younger daughter wishes she was 5' 10 but I've never been "backward at coming forward" and neither are any of my kids.

One of the most attractive men I ever knew (apart from my old man), who used to accompany me on guitar when I was folk-singing, was only 5' 4. I've always liked tall men but he had that certain "something" and, if I hadn't been a happily married woman, - well! :rolleyes:

It's personality that counts. :)

By hell it’s a big “that word I shouldn’t say” I’d hate to see the size of it offspring.:eek: :eek:
 
i couldnt care less how small or tall i am, im only 5'4 and my fellas 6'4 its a pain looking up at him or when i want a kiss i do actually need a step ladder but when we argue im the biggest as he doesnt like it when i stress.
But the thing that does bother me is my weight! im very slim and am a size 6 can fit into a size 8 and over the moon when its a size 10. how people can say to me i wish i had your figure really need to actually look hard at themselves and really wish they werent my size. i have a very high metabolism and eat like a bloody horse but its impossible for me to put weight on! I find it hard to buy clothes,fit into things that i really want and im not very confident about myself at all. it gets to me so much that when i am shopping for clothes i actually cry as it really upsets me. if i were bigger then i wouldnt bother as much but i just wish people who are bigger than me think themselves as lucky because i certainly am not! :rolleyes:

We're not always in a hurry to get to get there you know! lol
 
They did prove some time ago that men who were short were not always promoted at work when they should have been and men who were taller were often promoted quicker.

I'm 5'4" but with heels can be anything up to 5'7". I wear trainers or low boots most of the time but when I want to look sexy or when I want to look more powerful (for want of a better word) I always put my heels on. It gives me more confidence and gives more stature - I'm pretty sure I'm not the only woman who does this so there must be some truth in it.
 
Thats ok providing it isnt jackboots you are wearing there is enough of that on the council as it is. :D

Boo I understand your problem with clothes the mount of times I've come home and burst into tears because something I really wanted wouldn't fit is unreal! It's also annoying when you can't just nip out and buy a cheap pair of standard size jeans off the market, I always have to pay over the odds for clothes but I only take a size 3 in shoes so usually pay less on the whole for these, especially trainers ;). I'm only 5ft and just moved up to a size 8 in the last couple of years. Theres quite a few good shops out there with petite ranges, Dotty P's and Debenhams are excellent. Other than the problems with clothes I love being tiny I always have. I never feel intimidated by taller people, except my daughter who now towers above me at 13 year old :(

Quite amusing with a friend of ours who must be touching 7ft and built like a brick shi....... :D ..... big lad! Went out with them one night and I linked onto his arm as we were walking round the pubs, the sight of us 2, him so big and me so tiny must really have been hysterical!

used to know a (short lady) who told me she loved being small cos she buys childrens sizes which were cheaper, dont know if thats correct cos i'm not much of a shopper-but thats what she told me!
 
Footwear yes Cashy but the lady would have to have had a very boyish figure, childrens clothes don't allow for hips, bum and boobs.
 
Its possible children are growing up earlier nowadays and if the clothing is classed as childrens I dont think there is VAT to pay thus making them cheaper.
