Tall? Short? What do you think .... regarding humans

[Randi]

I'm 5.5, but I would like to be a little taller. I see very few 20 year old girls who are under 5.7 these days and I think that's the minimum height they want for models. John was 6.1 and I thought he was quite tall, but that's not tall these days!

The following is a little sidetrack. I remember when John and I visited a hotel outside of Sevilla, Spain... the beds were very old wooden ones and much too short for John - but the place was lovely, with orange trees blossoming when we were there - oh, what a smell! There are nine very different rooms. To communicate with the two elderly sisters who run it, you have to speak Spanish.

In this first link, you can see the room we had one of the times we visited. (picture 11)

Beds in Denmark has always been made about 6.6, but now it's common that they are 6.8. For every generation, people get taller and taller. I wonder if people will ever stop growing. I bet all of your ancestors were below 5.5

Is that 5'8" with or without his shoes? I think I've read that some actors wear "lifts" in their shoes to appear taller. If the man is barefooted and a real 5'8", then, No, I do not think of him as short. I'm short myself, a tad under 5', used to be 5'2".

When I first started dating Bruce he said he was 5' 6". Then several years ago we measured ourselves and he is just at 5' 4" (actually just under, but he won't admit it) and I am just a smidge over 5' 4". So technically I am taller, but without shoes we are basically the same height.
Luckily I don't wear heels. He doesn't care about me being taller, but I don't like it.

But he considers himself short, well, because he is! LOL
