Please tell us your height.

5 feet 8 inches.

5'10" The advanced stats on this are really funny! There were actually people demanding fractions of inches! Who expresses their height in fractions of inches? Really insecure short people? I've never heard of such a thing...

As I said in qualification, MY HEIGHT ISN'T ON YOUR LIST!!

When you are as short as Dora and I are, every bit counts!

Slightly under 5'9"...

Don't you think that adding half inches only draws attention to the fact? I recently dated a woman who was 4'11". We met via one of those Internet dating services. I knew her height before I met her, but was nonetheless surprised upon walking into a cafe and seeing her sitting there, feet not even reaching the ground...I think if it had said 4'11&1/2" it probably would have gotten my attention.

No, I don't. I think short people like dora and myself should fight for every partial inch we can get our hands on! Put yourself in our shoes for a moment. I was second shortest female in my entire high school graduating class. The only female shorter than me was a young women who had dwarfism and was 3 ft 4 inches tall.

5'5" (65 inches tall)

Your height is TOO on this list, even if it is under 4"10".

5'6 1/2"

5' 8" barefoot

I'm 4 ft 11 1/2 inches. That's not on the list.

5 ft 4 and a half inches.

I'm 5'2 (1.57 metres) which is considered petite by American standards.

I also weigh 125 pounds. Which you didn't ask, but there you have it anyway

5' 10"

I don't know, I just think that height is a silly thing to be obsessed over. It is so irrelevant. I mean, obviously I notice if someone is unusually tall or short, but beyond that, it really means nothing to me. I wound up dating that woman for several months, and beyond the initial shock of finding out that 4'11" = feet don't touch the ground when seated, it wasn't even remotely a concern.

You're not short so it wouldn't be a concern of you. I'm the shortest person in my family as I stopped growing at age 13 from a then undiagnosed underactive thyroid condition. By the time it was diagnosed the damage had been done. I didn't get my full growth and my hair is so thin that you can see my see my scalp. The quack doctor we were saying kept blaming it on the shampoo I was using. When I changed doctors and described my symptoms to her, she immediately had tests run on my thyroid. I've been on medication for it ever since.

5' 7.5" is my approximate height. i don't know why i have always put the extra half inch because i have always been considered average to tall......... oh well!

I'm either 5'9" or 5'10"

Are you sure?

Grrrr....> My height isn't listed.I picked "other",fudging up all the stats I suppose.I'm 4 feet 11 inches and 1/2.I'm not 5ft tall.I'm not 4ft11.That 1/2 inch makes me different from a circus freak.And I would never distort the truth and tell I'm 5ft tall.

Zang, I'm 151 centimeters.
That's exactly 4ft11 and 1/2.It's easier when you use metric.If the purpose of the SC is to ask our height and I can't tell my height...it sucks.

When you have an hard time reaching a bookshelf,when you wait in line at a bar and the barman simply ignores you,you can't go to the movies for fear that somebody taller than you (which means everybody minus midgets and children)blocks your view...
I'm used to be short,but it's not easy.

I don't think I have some thyroid condition.I guess I'm just short.There must be something wrong surely because I'm so short,but I don't know.I guess it's just the way I am.I always been shorter than average,and I guess I'll look like a child until 40!

Are there other short people in your immediate family or are you the only one? I do know what you mean by being ignored at businesses. This has happened to me more times then I'd care to remember and then the clerk or whomever will say, "Oh, I didn't see you" or some such crap. I'm short, but I'm NOT that short that you can't see me over the average counter in a business!

My parents are short,but at least my father was only slightly under average when he was young (he is 5ft6.5.For his age and the country he was born in,Italy,it's okay.).My grandparents were of average or above average height.
My mother says that my short height could be caused by my refuse of drinking milk when I was a little girl (not a baby,I started having this problem at 3 or 4)and some other digestive condition.I must investigate,but going to doctors and hospitals and stuff bothers me a lot.

5ft 11

You screwed up the stats now! Go pick a sensible answer!

6 foot nothin'.

5'2"

6'4"

Closest to 5'6" - but I'm a smidgeon over that.

I think in your case you would round down.

Wow, I always imagined you shorter

6 feet 1/2 inch

I hate going to doctors myself, but then again, who does enjoy going to the doctor?

Don't know...hypocondriacs maybe.

But they are the exception to the rule!

5' 6"

*points* Look at the pixies everyone!

Look at the pixies everyone! *points*

> I am so baaaad!

5 ft 5

A little over 5 ft, 6 inches.

5 feet 6 inches

Gloria Swanson was *exactly* 4ft11 inches and 1/2.

66"

Oops, sorry for my mistake.

No need for apologies. I'm more pissed off at the sc for not listening or at least giving us the option to round up or down as was requested.

I love Gloria Swanson!

I don't blame you! At least, I think there is an "Other" option, but still,,,,

That's true, but the sc should realize very few people are exactly 5 ft 6 in, 6 ft 2 in, etc. and as dora and I said, when you are short as we are, every bit counts! Dino seems to think it's some big joke.

BTW-did you hear about the problems that have been occurring with some WebTV systems dialing up 911? It's a good thing you got rid of WebTV when you did. Some people were getting the police showing up at their home. Apparently the user isn't aware the device is dialing up 911. Here's a link if you would like to know more: http://abcnews.go.com/sections/scitech/TechTV/techtv_911virus020723.html

OMG...No, I hadn't heard that about WEB-TV. Ours was the AOL-TV, so maybe that makes a difference (I hope). Still pretty scary. As for the height thing, I know it is no joke, and the survey creator should have listened to you and Dora in qual.

Oh...my bad! I thought you had WebTV. I'm glad you are being so supportive of dora and I. I for one do appreciate it.

I always referred to it as WEB-TV, so that's why you thought that. MY bad. I am supportive of you and Dora. There was no excuse for the survey creator doing that.

That's why...I thought my memory had gone bad on me! Thanks again for your support!

you must have been thinking of mini-romkey

no problem...hey, I left you a message in Forum, but I am going to ask you here instead. How do you do things like that making a smile face hand an ice cream cone, etc. I would really like to learn how.

I saw the message and posted instructions and the site to go to.

First my eye color, now my height...is this a secret dating service? :P lol

I am 6 foot tall and I would have to look up to you. I don't think you are mini I did always imagine you to be shorter though. Isn't it odd the images you get of people when you don't know what they look like?

Hey I have a question, how do you do all those smiley faces on here :P ;) :) :O O:)

At least I think it is 5'4". I have always been small for my age but that's okay cause short people sometimes tend to look younger too...

Get help I did. But seriously, go to the bottom of this page and click on "help". Then scroll down on the page and you'll see how to do the smilies and other stuff, too.

6ft 3

you need to put a hyphen (dash) inbetween the eyes and the mouth.

You could also press help.

Hello and welcome.

5'0"

I posted it here before I noticed your instructions in forum. Thank You!

Have fun!

I tried putting a dash between my eyes and mouth but I couldn't breathe!

Thanks,,,I tried to put one here, but I must have done something wrong.

Did you follow my instructions exactly?

6ft 3.75.. 6'4 if I don't slouch

I look up to you, too
In so many ways.......

What's weird is....your hair length must make you appear taller.....
I thought you were taller than that..

aw!

Come on, juliw You can do it. Here is exactly what you do:
Hit colon, dash, close parenthesis. Then you hit the submit button.
Then you'll see your smiley face! Then scroll down to the bottom of this page and click on "help". When the help page comes up, scroll down again until you see all the different smilies and other stuff. Give it a shot. Let me know how you do.

I thought I did, but evidently not.

I know how to do that...we were talking about something else, but thanks for helping out. I appreciate it. BTW, nice to meet you, your son told me you joined SC

BTW-go to Forum and check out the post at the top of the page directed to Cuteasabutton. Let me know what you think of it.

By the way, here is an invisible picture of a ghost smiley

Yes he is...I love the gap between his front teeth!

Thanks, juliw! Nice to meet you, too. Lots of very nice people here.

Ain't he purty! Ya gotta purty mouth boy!

That reminds me of the time there was a survey asking how many of us had jobs, and we were talking like hillbillies, and you said Jethro from beverly hillbillies had a purty mouth!

Ohmigod...I remember that survey. We got reaaaaaaaaaly strange on that one, didn't we?

This survey (KR was doing it too!) I think we pissed happyme off a bit talking that way, but then again she was always saying something was so "gay" and that was offensive as well! Turnabout is fair play!http://surveycentral.org/survey/7505.html

Yup, I reckon we pert'near had happyme running around like a chicken with her head cut off... yes, we did get a little carried away on that one, but gosh durn it, it was fun! KR joined in too.

Yee doggies thet wer fun!

Yee haw! Jest 'bout funner 'n a square dance!
