Short Women?

Question

Ah, The World is Spinning!! has asked the tall ladies for their say, this is for those under 5'5!
Say one positive thing about being short and something about the challenges of being short.

I am 5'2. I never have to worry about leg room or being cramped on planes or in cars.
I really dislike having capri pants fit like trousers!!

Answer 1

Good thing - In a crowd, the last one to know when it is raining

Bad - First one to know it flooded

Answer 2

I'm 5'0 tall, and I don't really know any positives about it.

I don't like crowds because I feel like I'm being smothered.
I can never reach anything on the top shelves in the supermarket, so I have to wait for someone to come along and help me...this makes me feel like a child.
Again, with the pants...and skirts...clothes just don't fit right; oh, and who's arms are they trying to fit anyway? Sleeves are always too long on me. Thank God my feet grew, I finally fit into a size 6!
I HATE having people pat me on the head and tell me, "You're so cute!"

Answer 3

I'm 5'2" as well. My Grandma always said about me, "Dynamite comes in small packages". I got picked on a lot by the bigger girls who had something to prove. Until one day my Dad told me to whoop their big behinds. He taught me some wrestling stuff and I learned how to use people's weights against them. I took his advice, then I got this rep as a bad a$$ which was really funny. So, that's the one good thing about being petite, people will constantly underestimate you. I loooove being able to throw people off, shock people. I'm a pistol just waiting to go off!

I was always the kid in the class picture who had to sit in front holding the picture. Needless to say as I got older the concept didn't change much. I don't go to crowded drinking events (which I love BTW) because I always get stepped on, pushed around and beer spilled on me. I go home smelling like 50 different guys armpits. Not for me! Also, not being able to have coitus standing up without having to climb on some contraption. I would like to be able to just DO IT ya know? Of course I always pick tall BUILT dudes too....lol!

Answer 4

I'm five foot short, and I like it to a certain extent. I hate buying pants, cause there way too long. I usually have you wear capris, which make me look even shorter. On a good note I was working one day, and a guy, locked his keys in the car, while I was on break. He asked me if I could try and reach them, which I did and he gave me five dollars, that was a bonus.

Answer 5

I'm 5'1 and I've never been taller than the guys I've dated. I can lie full out on a small sofa (comfy!) too. On the negative side, I can't go to a concert or sports stadium and see anything if everyone around me is standing.

Answer 6

I'm 5'1" and the positive is that I am not limited in who I can date (men often seem rather picky about height).

The negative is that I can never reach for anything in cupboards, above the fridge....argh! Thank goodness for chairs/stools/etc.

Answer 7

All good things come in small packages!!!

I can never get any trousers to fit me and always have to pay extra to get them taken up!! :(

I too am 5'2 - :)

Answer 8

I am also 5'2.... and my boyfriend is 6'3....

I like being able to fit inside him... ok that sounds gross... but he can pretty much wrap is body around me completely. Makes me feel safe :)

Bad things... hmm... well, when we slow dance, and I'm looking up at him, my neck often gets strained :(

Answer 9

I agree. At 5'2" I can curl up in trains and planes... and I never wear capris!!!

Answer 10

I am 5'1. I like being short, because I have less likely chance of dating a guy shorter than me. LOL.
