i'm 5'7" (171cm) and i'm considered tall, both in Asia and US.
On the bright side, I have longer legs (yay)
On the down side, I feel gigantic next to my dh who is only 1 inch taller than me. And he looks shorter than me most of the time because I wear heels that is around 3 inches at least.
I am tall..
Growing up I was always teased because of my height...
Who would have guessed that today I hold my head up very high...now proud of my height...
I am 5ft 6 and feel short, lol. A friend is 5ft 8 and is tall or maybe it's just an illusion. She is very thin, 110 lbs and I swear it makes her look taller than what she is. So I would say 5 ft 8 is tall.
I'm in between 5'8" and 5'9" and have never really thought of myself as tall. Normally, I consider tall to be anyone over 5'10"ish. Then again, until I see pictures, I always feel like I'm the same height as my friends (most of whom top out at 5'6") Oddly enough though, I rarely wear heels, because they make me feel like a giant.
If I could... I would be 5'2", it seems like such a perfect height. (most of the women in my family are in that height range. I, on the other hand, am apparently a genetic mutant )
I think 5'10" and up is technically tall. My husband's 6'3", which means I can wear 4-inch heels and be just fine. Which I love. It does also make me feel like Godzilla a little bit in crowds, though, feeling like I should just go Stomp Stomp and make the little villagers flee before me. When I was visiting Minnesota, it was so NICE to be around so many other tall people. But then I had to go back home to short-topia.
I guess this makes ME tall, lol! I'm 5' and 1/2". To me, a woman 5'4" and over is 'tall'. I suppose it's all relative.
I married a 6'4" man, and my daughters are going to be taller than me by the time they're 10, lol!
