6'2"
Advantages: See over most people's heads and know whats going on in a crowd.
And it is true, get to help a lot of elevation disabled folks reach the top shelf (and I do like to help them).
Change light bulbs without using a step-ladder.
It certainly makes my weight look less.
Disadvantages: My kids could see my head over the crowd and hide.
My knees are in my chest a lot.
Have trouble getting in an out of even full-size cars (thank you for pickup trucks and motorcycles).
Don't fit in some beds well (other than King and Queen size).
Of course, I have been clipped a few times by ceiling fans.
But, like Popeye said: "I yam what I yam, and that's all what I yam."

4'10" Advantages = I never have to duck, and umm.. hm.. yeah. I'm shorter than my boyfriend?? I don't know if that's really an advantage. Disadvantages = I can't reach anything, I need to sit on pillows to drive, People mistake me for being way too young (they usually guess me at 15, and I'm 20) so they ask for my mom to sign things. That's pretty embarrassing. and what? "the pug"?? apparently im a midget too O_O;

I'm 5'2". It's hard to reach things in the kitchen cabinets or on grocery store shelves, I have to scoot my car seat up all the way and sit on a pillow to drive, and I usually have to hem pants, but I still love being short. I fit into small spaces, which is very handy in a lot of situations, such as plane trips; I can curl up in my seat and get more comfortable than taller people.

at 5'2 I seldom bump my head on anything, and always have lots of leg room in cars. But in restaurants I often cannot touch the floor in booths.

I'm certainly not embarrassed to say that I am 5' 2". Advantages? Have always looked younger than my age.
My youngest son is 6'5" and he always pats me on the head and asks me when I'm going to grow up. It always makes us laugh. Disadvantage? I have to carry a ladder around with me. lol ( Hard to reach things of course)

I am 6 feet tall, 6' 1 with shoes, people who are short, think tall means all buff. While im no weakling i hate being at work, when all the people send me to do the heavy lifting.

I'm average, 5'5", advantages, my weight looks less on my frame, disadvantages? I'll always be taller than my daughter.
I have long legs, and a small torso, so I'm okay finding jeans, but I was real disappointed in my 20's when those one piece jumpsuits were in style, they'd never fit right.
