womans height

[SKA]

is 5'2" short for a woman?

[red~bez]

SKA..I'm 5ft 4......but 5ft 7 in my heels. ;)

[Trinny]

I am 5ft 8........ would love to be shorter and wear big heels

[kelbillug]

I believe 5 foot 4 is the average height for a woman, so 5 foot 2 is just slightly below average.

depends on their age; for someone in their 50s, say, it'd still be within the normal range; for someone young, it would be on the short side as young people today are taller than their parents.

[red~bez]

I agree jno.......most of my bros and sisters are on the small side.....well no 6ft bros or sisters......my daughter is 5ft 8.

[cazzz1975]

I am 5'3 and most of the kids in my daughters class (10 year olds) are the same height or taller!!

[unruliejulie]

Im 5'3" and would love a few extra inches ;-)

[warpig3]

mrwarpig is 5'10" and I would love him to have an extra few inches ;-o)

[Goodsoulette]

average is 5ft 4 so yeah its short.

[Pippa68]

I am below average :o(

At 5'2" I was refused entry in the police force 'way back when'. Nowadays it's ok. Hrrrummppff.

[bigmamma]

I used to be taller but am at present 5 ' 6 but feel tiny against my 6' 1 son who swears I get shorter each time he visits.:-) x

[jno]

yeah, redbez, I can often not see my son's head during conditions of low cloud cover. And yet I towered over my parents.

[B00]

Blimey, I'm 5'1 :-(

And similar to Pippa, i was refused entry to the army due to being too small, now, obviously when I'm past it, they let any old midget in. :-(

[jno]

yes, you're harder to aim at when you're small B00, and in peacetime they could have sent you up to clean the chimneys at the very least.

[B00]

lol cheers for that jno

:-(

[Floella]

Speaking as a 5ft 2in woman I feel its a normal height.

But, I have noticed the majority of people seem to be taller than me.

Maybe they are overtall, who says it has to be me that's short, eh?

[Pippa68]

What about the Ghurkas, eh BOO? wicked little individuals they are..good job they were on our side ;o)

[jno]

absolutely right, floella - as I keep having to tell people, I am NOT overweight, I am underheight.

I am 5'10, but I still wear heels - my hubby is 6'2 though, so that is fine - my 6 year old is 4'2 and is catching up on my sister in law who claims to be 5 foot tall, but the jury is still out on that one! She did however manage to produce my nephew who is 6'1 and niece at 5'5. Height is all relative, just hang out with short people!
