YEAH BABY, FIRST AGAIN, I beleive that is 3 times so far. I would rather be 5 inches taller, because then I would be about 6’6, and tall is the way to go.
I’m only five-three, but I’m happy with my height. I can always make myself taller with heels, but a tall person can’t make him or herself shorter.
Taller
Shorter I think
taller
4? 5 inches taller
taller cuz then i can be skinner! but lanky=bad so idk. shorter would be too short and taller would be too tall. im about 5’11″ right now so i really don’t know.
i guess taller.
6’ or 5” 2’
Make it 6” I am good, there might as well be more of me
shorter.
I’m happy with my size, but if I had to choose, I’d go with 5″ taller so that I could be 5’7.5″ haha
I like being shorter.
can i be FOUR inches taller?
huh?
huh? =D

Taller.
Taller. Definitely.
taller.
taller. being 5 inches shorter would make me even fatter than I am now.
I’m 5’3″ right now. If you add 5 inches to that I think I’d be too tall. I’ve always wanted to be 5’6″ which is 3 inches taller. Any shorter than I am now would only add to the amount of people who mistake me for a 17 year old. Damn those people. I curse them all with 5 inches of shrinking!
neither. I am perfect. no, really. I am. I am the very symbol of perfection.
5’2″ to either 4’9″ or 5’7″
Hm… I don’t like either, but I suppose 5’7″ would be better.
Meh, I like how short I am, even if I get mistaken for people quite younger than myself.
taller
Meh. Shorter.
taller im 5’6
Taller, I’d be 6’4
Neither, I’d have to go out and buy new clothes.
Taller
Taller would be interesting… Uuugh- Yes… it would really help. (I am only 5’5)
I love tall… XoxoxoX Jane
I’m kinda tall for a girl and have always wanted to be shorter. I dated a guy that was 6’8″ once, it was kinda cool to feel short compared to him.
taller
I’d rather be just as I am. . . But if I HAD to pick, shorter, b/c 6’3″ would be REALLY tall, for a girl.
Taller. Then I wouldn’t have to roll up my jeans.
If I absolutely had no choice in the matter…then I’d choose taller. I’m 6′ now though, so maybe I’d try out for the Lakers?
yeah…i’d have to say taller…
OMG. TALLER!!!
taller…i would be soo happy if i were five inches taller.
Taller, meh. Being tall is good for a chinese guy.
I’m 5″ taller than the “average” American man, which is 5’10″, and so I think I’d rather be 5’10″ than 6’8″. It’d be extremely difficult to find clothing that fits if I were that tall, without haveing to spend a ton on clothing.
Tallllllller

taller! I’m the shortest person in my family…my LITTLE brother is taller than me!!

Well, being shorter would match my personality better. But, I just can’t pass off being 6’7.

Why, thank you for the compliment

I would rather you do something with what He has blessed you with
I would rather be five inches taller… then I would be 5’2″, at least somewhat normal.
Taller… the world is already not built for someone my size… 5 inches shorter would be tough
6’2 or 5’4? Ugh, I don’t know. I like being taller than people, but I’m at just the right height because I’m not too much taller than any of my friends. Uhh, I’ll flip a coin and say… 5’4
5 inches where?
taller
taller…i guess.. because then I’d be 4’10″ … thats a little too short I think… well.. hm don’t short people get college for free?…okay.. shorter/
hmm. 5’2 or 5’10? … guess i’d go with … (this is a toughie!!) - shorter. i could always wear heels to be taller. however, i’d prefer to not change at all its not all that common to be utterly content with something – thanks for bringing it to light – i like my height (though, of course, if i was .5-1 inch taller, i wouldn’t wear out the bottom of my jeans so much, lol)
Since I’m 5’3″, 5 inches shorter would be way too short. If I were 5 inches taller, I’d be my ideal height
If I had to choose, I’d definitely say taller… but then I’d be almost even with my husband! If I were 5 inches shorter I’d be 5ft though and that’s just way too short.
shorter. for sure…. ive always wanted to be short… i dont know why…
Taller.
Neither.
Taller. Haha, I’m only 5’1″ or 5’2″.
Oh wait, taller but not gangly looking, i want everything to evne out.
Shorter.
Yeah, that would be a dream come true. Right now I’m taller than most people I know. It sucks.
I find it rather amusing how pressured people around here feel to choose to be taller or shorter…can’t I just say, “Dan, I don’t care what you think…I’m gonna stay 6-foot-nothing.” These people are seriously like your little pawns. If you asked the right questions, you could probably get enough blackmail material to go ahead and retire.
Taller. Which still wouldn’t make me very tall.
Of course, since I’m feeling rather pressed to pick one by this merciless question that demands answering… I think I’d like to be shorter. Short people rock. Tall people are just weird. Actually, I think I’d like to be a Smurf.
Neither
I’m already 6’1″, I’d rather be 5 inches shorter rather than taller. Long car rides and plane flights are already too uncomfortable as it is, not to mention how many more things I’d bump my head into if I were 5 inches taller.
taller
taller… ha. then i’d be 5’7!
I’m fine with the way I am (5’4″), but if I had to choose… taller. My bf is 6’2″ so shrinking 5 inches would make our height difference go from cute to freakish.
Shorter I guess, I’m 6′ now, I don’t really want to be six foot five.
Five inches is a lot.
6’1″ to either 6’6″ or 5’8″
I’m gonna say taller.
going with the taller, that would get me to 6-4.
5 inches taller and the same weight
I’m happy just the way I am
Taller makes me 6’9″, shorter makes me 5’11″ – hmmmm….interesting question.
taller
Five inches taller
since i am just a scant five feet tall.. i’d go with five inches taller.
mmm probably shorter
Five inches taller. I’m a freaking shorty at 5’4″.
5 inches shorter… That was easy… Because flat out, I hate being 5’6, I don’t like the guys who are taller and guys who are shorter I love, but it just makes me feel huge… So yea, make me shorter, then I can wear heels and feel happy…
Taller. 5 inches shorter would make me 4 foot 9 inches…eek.
taller, because I’m really short already!
taller.
i figure if i grow taller so will my buddy.
although that would make me quite tall.
Taller. Otherwise I’d be 4’11′. Essh.
5 inches taller. i’m only 5’1″
Shorter, so then I’d be 5’4″.
shorter, definitely. i’d be 5’6 and i’d actually feel normal.
taller !
Five inches taller.
I am 5’6″….seems to be a good height….how about YOU????
neither.
taller. i’m a shorty
I wish I were taller
shorter.. i’m too tall as it is and wouldn’t mind shrinking to a more diminuitive size
Shorter…I’d be 4’9 ish
taller
Taller – I wouldn’t be the oldest-kid-yet-shortest-member-of-the-family anymore.
I’d be happy if I was one or two inches taller.
Taller. I’m short enough already. x]
I’d also like to point out that I’m *already* 4’11.
taller
Well, if this new height came with a new wardrobe that I didn’t have to pay for, then most definately 5″ shorter. I’m 6’4″ and absolutely hate being taller than everyone by a good 4 inches, constantly getting the “do you have any idea how freakishly tall you are?”. and having to lean down to kiss my girlfriend.
Shorter. It’s alot easier to get clothing hemmed then it is to make them longer.
I’d be taller. 5 feet 10 inches would be pretty nice. Some people have said I should model, but I’m really too short for that.
I am writing a law review article on blogging and the role of blogs in the FCC media ownership debate, along with how blogs affect our conception of media and any correlation it may have to broadcasting. The personal background questions in the survey will provide insight into the demographics of bloggers and what the results might mean in relation to underrepresented groups or classes.
The survey is anonymous. The more participants the better, so if you’re feeling really nice, then please persuade everyone you know online to participate as well.
Thanks!
That’s such a large range. Being 4’9″ certainly will not do, so I guess I’d rather be taller. At least it’d be easier to shop for jeans and dresses.
I like myself – taller if I had to choose, making me 6’1 – not so bad I guess… maybe 6’2 – my height is very fluid I don’t really know how tall I am… between 5’9 and 5’10.
Only taller if I get to expand the rest of my body too though, otherwise I would be a bean pole.
E
but honestly, I love my current height… kinda short lithe…
Make me five inches shorter. Ooh, and do the adjustment proportionally, haha.
taller, then i could dunk a basketball.
Taller.
im a girl so shorter if i were a guy then taller
I’m 5’2 I don’t think I want to change either. I like my height. Although I wanted to be an Air Hostess once could not because I was too short. Its discrimination.
Taller. No doubt.
I’m 5’4″, so I’m pretty happy with where I’m at.
But if I had to choose one or the other, I’d definately go taller. Would give me some killer legs
If I was 5 inches taller, I’d have less weight to lose. So yeah, taller.
Shalom!
5’2 is awkwardly short, 6′ is awkwardly tall
honestly, its hard enough for me to find pants now [34-35-ish inseam] i do not feel like finding short pants to extra tall pants!
I’m happy with my height, and I’ve never really wanted to be taller, but I’m only 5’1″, so if I lost 5 inches, I think I’d be way too short. 5’6″ would be fine, though, so I’m definitely going with taller….it’d still leave me 2 inches shy of my little sister’s height, tho…oh, well, would be nice to look down on her for the first time since we were about 3 and 4 years old.
taller.
Matthew 6:27
except a cubit is about 18″
tallllerr ofc”
I’m 5’9″, I hate being this tall. But I don’t think I’d go shorter or taller, cause being tall is something that’s different and special about me. At least that’s what my mother tells me, haha.
well, I’m 6’3″
so taller would be a bit excessive
but quite cool
still – I guess probably shorter, if I could keep the same width
then I’d be a powerhouse.
Although I’ve gotten pretty comfortable with my height, I’d rather not be 4’7″. So, let’s make it taller.
Eh… 4’10 1/2″ or 5’8 1/2″…
Neither.
taller
taller… im looking forward to that day…
I’d be 5 inches taller so i can be 6 inches taller than my boyfriend
Five inches taller. Then I’d be 5’9″ … and I’d be able to live in normal-sized rooms and reach the cereal. It’s a small blessing.
-Guru on the Hill
taller
Shorter. If I were 5 inches taller, I’d be over 6’2″. I’m not too keen on that idea.
I like being 5’3″.
Can I put the five inches anywhere I want to?
taller all the way
yeah 139
Shorter
definitely 5” shorter… I’m 6’3”.
5 in taller
Soultender took my answer, so I guess I’d rather be 25 pounds lighter.
Taller.
Taller , I’d be 5’10″
I am pretty short as it is … but 5 would be a lot. Maybe 2 or 3?
5 inches taller. My husband is already 10 inches taller than me, if I was 5 inches shorter than I am now that would make it really awkward.
Neither. Five foot eight is good for me. I can always wear heels if I want to be taller.
If I could lose weight by shrinking.. shorter.
But I guess taller.
I’m female and 5’9 as it is. I almost said shorter, but I love being tall. I think if I was 6’2″ I’d be pretty happy with that. Happier than being shorter than I am.
shorter…although i dont know if i want to be FIVE inches shorter, maybe two or three
So that would mean be either 4 ft tall or 6ft tall for me. I’d rather stay 5 1/2 feet tall if its all the same to you. Taller people are goofy or talented at sports. I’m neither. I haven’t quite figured out what shorter people are, but I probably wouldn’t fit the bill anyway.
Taller no doubt
How about five inches narrower in the middle?
at 5ft 4in tall, i would definitely want to be 5in taller… esp since dj is 6ft 5in tall….
taller
xX-Nicole-Xx
Taller. Then shorter Then tall again.
I’m 5’3″ now…so definately taller.
both. first, 5 inches taller, then 5 inches shorter than the 5 inches taller height, so i’d be back to normal Kelly
i don’t wanna be taller b/c my boyfriend is the same height as me…i don’t wanna be shorter b/c then i’d be like…short.
i wanna stay the same! just same old me
I’m exactly where I want to be, but can you make my feet smaller. I’m 5’9″ and my feet are in proportion to my heigtht but still to wear a size 7 1/2 shoe would be sooooo cool.
How about you, Dan? Are you going to answer?
Surely taller!
Cowboy
I’m 5’6” so I’d go taller even though it would be a bitch finding pants long enough. I see my mom and sister having those problems.
I’d hate to be 5’1” and shorter then everyones so I’ll go taller please.
definitely taller
Shorter.
I’m 5’6— 5’1 wouldnt be so bad. My grandmother & my dearest friend are wee little and I have always adored their little-ness… and they don’t mind it either.
On the other hand, we have some very tall ladies in our family as well ( by marriage) and they always complain… so shorter for sure.
Taller, because I wouldn’t seem so fat and I’d be able to reach stuff on the top shelf. I’d change my name to Amazon Annie.
wow, that would make me 6′ 2″. Or 5′ 2″. I choose taller coz you shrink as you get older.
I only want 3 inches. Not 5…inches taller. LOL To be a perfect 5′
I’m already pretty tall, so to avoid being freakishly so…. shorter.
Taller.
Good Morning Dan….
Taller taller…I’m only 5’5″…boohoo….
Candy
Neithern I like being short any shorter I’m offically be a freaken midget LOL
Now skinner I coul definatly go for!!
NONE- I like my hight
Taller – easy answer. When I have my clogs on, I can actually reach the top shelf in the kitchen.
neither. i’m about 5′ 10″. shorter would be too short, but taller would be too tall (i’d hang off the end of my bed).
shorter
Taller
Tough one. I think I would rather be shorter, if we are going 5 inches. Since it is more acceptable for a woman to be short rather than over 6′. Now if it was only an inch or two, I would rather be taller.
I’d go taller and become 6’4”. Though it’d be harder to catch a guy, I’d just have to find an Xangan who chose to become 5 in. taller himself. =)
Also, I love being uniquely tall! I’d keep that advantage!
although I”m 5’8″ which is above average for a girl, I would love to be five inches taller!
Definitely five inches shorter. I’m 5’9.
taller
well i don’t want to be 6’1 i think that’d be a little too tall
Taller, for practial reasons, such as being able to reach things and my pants not dragging on the ground all the time. And so that my boyfriend wouldn’t have to lean down to kiss me all the time.
taller. it would make me 5’8. I could deal with that better than being 4’11.
taller, my height is whats stopping me from modeling
taller, since I’m only 5 feet even, shorter would be devasating. Actually 2 inches would work. That’s about the amount I need to be able to reach everything in my cupboards zans stool.
Taller so all men like me more.
i’ll go with taller. i don’t want to be tall, but i’d rather be 5’8″ than 4’10″.
5 inches taller! I’d still be only 6’3″…
Shorter – 5’5″ would be cool for a woman, I think.
I think if I were five inches shorter that would make me chubbier. If I were five inches taller that would stretch me out and make me skinnier.
Taller.
taller, cause I’m 5 11, so I’d actually be able to dunk(I think)
ooh… taller. Cause I’d be 5’11″ taller and 5’1″ shorter. I don’t really like the idea of either of them though, not really.
Taller. But I’d rather just stay this height
Taller. Bumpe me up to 6′ 7″ instead of 5′ 9″.
Taller–I’d be pretty tall
shorter.. I’m 5’10″ and I hate it.
I’m 5′ 2″ and I actually love being short, it’s fun, so I’d have to go with 5 inches shorter….although I do sometimes wonder what it would be like to be taller….
shorter. i would rather be shorter because my husband is only a couple inches taller than me.
I’d 5’3, so I’d rather be 5’8 than 4’10. Especially because my boyfriend is 6’1. Though, then he’d really not have any real reason to pick me up all the time, which I would miss.
taller, i could be a model!
taller because im actually pretty short right now
i’m 5’2″. five inches won’t hurt.
Taller, because then I’d be 6’7″, and I would have been much more likely to make it into the NBA…
Shorter
I’m 5’8″, slightly above average.
I will always want to be taller. I may grow one more inch.
If I chose taller it would make me 6′ 1” that doen’t sound to bad but then I’d need a taller guy and even where I am now that can be a problem!
Taller, if I could be at the same weight I am right now.
Probably taller because it would mean that I would be leaner. lol Short is cute, though.
I am happy with my height.
5’11? So 6’5.
I can live with that, 5’4″… I would not be pleased.
taller!
I’ve been told I’m a legal midget, and that really upsets me.. who thinks “When I grow up, I’m going to be just as tall as I am in 5th grade!” Definitely not me T_T;
I’m 5’0″, so.. it sucks just a bit. The world is not made for people under 5’2″?.
My height’s not so bad, but shorter would leave me more available men and an easier time shopping for clothes. You can always take the hem in, but you can let it out if there’s nothing there already.
Taller. >D Then I’d be 5’4. That’d be AWESOME.
Neither, I’d have to go out and buy new clothes. Posted 10/15/2006 at 11:00 PM by Soultender
haha, good point.
if new clothes were paid for, then i’d like to be five inches taller. then i’d be about 6’1, making me in the middle of the tall people.
Taller! I’m only 5’2” which is usually fine with heels and such but being five inches taller, I wouldn’t have a problem with (five inches is probably too much, though…more like three would do it for me).
taller!
I’m already 5’8″ tall, so I’m happy with my heighth. I’d be over 6 feet tall if I gained 5 more inches… I wouldn’t want that for I am female.
Also, I wouldn’t want to be 5’3″ tall. That is too short for me. I’d have to get on my tiptoes to kiss my sig other….
Do you want to be 5″ taller or shorter????
Christy
taller
taller!!!!!
taller. it sucks being this short. i wouldn’t want to 4′ 10″
Taller.
Five inches taller. I’m 5’4″ so that would make me 5’9″, and that’s okay with me.
[ariana]
taller.
stretch me out. w/o a doubt. TALLER.
Taller….being 4’10″ isn’t fun actually…especially when majority of high schoolers are WAY taller than you.
Absolutely taller.
I’m tired of all the short jokes.
Taller
Neither, I think I’m the right height for me
Hmm…….I like my height, but if I had to choose, I would choose to be 5 inches shorter.
-KrIsTiN-
taller. of course taller. unless there were bullets flying at 5’7 inches off the ground.
taller
taller! im 5’0 :[
Shorter because I’m already 5’8″.
6′ or 5′ im a girl so five inches shorter because i can wear heels if I want to appear taller, but If i’m 6′ I would never wear heels and I would be taller than my boyfriend, i don’t like that.
shorter..im already like 5’7 thats good enough for me..as i am a girl.
taller :]
i’m sixteen years old. i’m four foot eight. what the hell do you think? although, being able to pass for 12 is handy……
Since I’m only five feet tall–I don’t have much height to lose. I’m gonna have to go with a defiante five inches taller on that one.
SHORTER!!!!!!!!! God! Being an asian woman who is 5’9 is difficult enough.
Uhm, I am a 5’11 inch woman, so shorter would be better.
Shorter if I had to pick (5 in taller and I’d be 6’1″), but I really like my height.
Taller. Definitely
Both
If I was 5 inches shorter, I would be about the average height of a chick (around 5’3), but then my weight would be distributed really poorly D=
If I was 5 inches taller, my weight would be distributed even more evenly than it is now….But then I’s be around 6’1″ D=

since i am just a scant five feet tall.. i’d go with five inches taller.
mmm probably shorter
Five inches taller. I’m a freaking shorty at 5’4″.
5 inches shorter…
That was easy…
Because flat out, I hate being 5’6, I don’t like the guys who are taller and guys who are shorter I love, but it just makes me feel huge…
So yea, make me shorter, then I can wear heels and feel happy…
Taller. 5 inches shorter would make me 4 foot 9 inches…eek.
taller, because I’m really short already!
taller.
i figure if i grow taller so will my buddy.
although that would make me quite tall.
Taller. Otherwise I’d be 4’11′. Essh.
5 inches taller. i’m only 5’1″
Shorter, so then I’d be 5’4″.
shorter, definitely. i’d be 5’6 and i’d actually feel normal.
taller !
Five inches taller.
I am 5’6″….seems to be a good height….how about YOU????
neither.
taller. i’m a shorty
I wish I were taller
shorter.. i’m too tall as it is and wouldn’t mind shrinking to a more diminuitive size
Shorter…I’d be 4’9 ish
taller
Taller – I wouldn’t be the oldest-kid-yet-shortest-member-of-the-family anymore.
I’d be happy if I was one or two inches taller.
Taller. I’m short enough already. x]
I’d also like to point out that I’m *already* 4’11.
taller
Well, if this new height came with a new wardrobe that I didn’t have to pay for, then most definately 5″ shorter. I’m 6’4″ and absolutely hate being taller than everyone by a good 4 inches, constantly getting the “do you have any idea how freakishly tall you are?”. and having to lean down to kiss my girlfriend.
Shorter. It’s alot easier to get clothing hemmed then it is to make them longer.
I’d be taller. 5 feet 10 inches would be pretty nice. Some people have said I should model, but I’m really too short for that.
But, really, the truth is, I like food too much.

At your earliest convenience, please help me with a school project by participating in the following survey on blogging at http://www.stellarsurvey.com/response/s.aspx?u=6936.
I am writing a law review article on blogging and the role of blogs in the FCC media ownership debate, along with how blogs affect our conception of media and any correlation it may have to broadcasting. The personal background questions in the survey will provide insight into the demographics of bloggers and what the results might mean in relation to underrepresented groups or classes.
The survey is anonymous. The more participants the better, so if you’re feeling really nice, then please persuade everyone you know online to participate as well.
Thanks!
That’s such a large range. Being 4’9″ certainly will not do, so I guess I’d rather be taller. At least it’d be easier to shop for jeans and dresses.
I like myself – taller if I had to choose, making me 6’1 – not so bad I guess… maybe 6’2 – my height is very fluid
I don’t really know how tall I am… between 5’9 and 5’10.
Only taller if I get to expand the rest of my body too though, otherwise I would be a bean pole.
E
but honestly, I love my current height… kinda short lithe…
Make me five inches shorter. Ooh, and do the adjustment proportionally, haha.
taller, then i could dunk a basketball.
Taller.
im a girl so shorter
if i were a guy then taller
I’m 5’2 I don’t think I want to change either. I like my height. Although I wanted to be an Air Hostess once could not because I was too short. Its discrimination.
Taller. No doubt.
I’m 5’4″, so I’m pretty happy with where I’m at.
But if I had to choose one or the other, I’d definately go taller. Would give me some killer legs
If I was 5 inches taller, I’d have less weight to lose. So yeah, taller.
Shalom!
5’2 is awkwardly short, 6′ is awkwardly tall
honestly, its hard enough for me to find pants now [34-35-ish inseam] i do not feel like finding short pants to extra tall pants!
I’m happy with my height, and I’ve never really wanted to be taller, but I’m only 5’1″, so if I lost 5 inches, I think I’d be way too short. 5’6″ would be fine, though, so I’m definitely going with taller….it’d still leave me 2 inches shy of my little sister’s height, tho…oh, well, would be nice to look down on her for the first time since we were about 3 and 4 years old.
taller.
Matthew 6:27
except a cubit is about 18″
tallllerr ofc”
I’m 5’9″, I hate being this tall.
But I don’t think I’d go shorter or taller, cause being tall is something that’s different and special about me. At least that’s what my mother tells me, haha. 
well, I’m 6’3″
so taller would be a bit excessive
but quite cool
still – I guess probably shorter, if I could keep the same width
then I’d be a powerhouse.
Although I’ve gotten pretty comfortable with my height, I’d rather not be 4’7″. So, let’s make it taller.
Eh… 4’10 1/2″ or 5’8 1/2″…
Neither.
taller
taller… im looking forward to that day…
I’d be 5 inches taller so i can be 6 inches taller than my boyfriend
Five inches taller. Then I’d be 5’9″ … and I’d be able to live in normal-sized rooms and reach the cereal. It’s a small blessing.

taller
Shorter. If I were 5 inches taller, I’d be over 6’2″. I’m not too keen on that idea.
I like being 5’3″.
Can I put the five inches anywhere I want to?
taller all the way
yeah 139
Shorter
definitely 5” shorter… I’m 6’3”.
5 in taller
Soultender took my answer, so I guess I’d rather be 25 pounds lighter.
Taller.
Taller , I’d be 5’10″
I am pretty short as it is … but 5 would be a lot. Maybe 2 or 3?
5 inches taller. My husband is already 10 inches taller than me, if I was 5 inches shorter than I am now that would make it really awkward.
Neither. Five foot eight is good for me. I can always wear heels if I want to be taller.
If I could lose weight by shrinking.. shorter.
But I guess taller.
I’m female and 5’9 as it is. I almost said shorter, but I love being tall. I think if I was 6’2″ I’d be pretty happy with that. Happier than being shorter than I am.
shorter…although i dont know if i want to be FIVE inches shorter, maybe two or three
So that would mean be either 4 ft tall or 6ft tall for me. I’d rather stay 5 1/2 feet tall if its all the same to you. Taller people are goofy or talented at sports. I’m neither. I haven’t quite figured out what shorter people are, but I probably wouldn’t fit the bill anyway.
Taller no doubt
How about five inches narrower in the middle?
at 5ft 4in tall, i would definitely want to be 5in taller… esp since dj is 6ft 5in tall….
taller
xX-Nicole-Xx
Taller. Then shorter Then tall again.
I’m 5’3″ now…so definately taller.
both. first, 5 inches taller, then 5 inches shorter than the 5 inches taller height, so i’d be back to normal
Kelly
i don’t wanna be taller b/c my boyfriend is the same height as me…i don’t wanna be shorter b/c then i’d be like…short.
i wanna stay the same! just same old me
I’m exactly where I want to be, but can you make my feet smaller. I’m 5’9″ and my feet are in proportion to my heigtht but still to wear a size 7 1/2 shoe would be sooooo cool.
How about you, Dan? Are you going to answer?
Surely taller!
Cowboy
I’m 5’6” so I’d go taller even though it would be a bitch finding pants long enough. I see my mom and sister having those problems.
I’d hate to be 5’1” and shorter then everyones so I’ll go taller please.
definitely taller
Shorter.
I’m 5’6— 5’1 wouldnt be so bad. My grandmother & my dearest friend are wee little and I have always adored their little-ness… and they don’t mind it either.
On the other hand, we have some very tall ladies in our family as well ( by marriage) and they always complain… so shorter for sure.
Taller, because I wouldn’t seem so fat and I’d be able to reach stuff on the top shelf. I’d change my name to Amazon Annie.
wow, that would make me 6′ 2″. Or 5′ 2″. I choose taller coz you shrink as you get older.
I only want 3 inches. Not 5…inches taller. LOL To be a perfect 5′
I’m already pretty tall, so to avoid being freakishly so…. shorter.
Taller.
Good Morning Dan….
Taller taller…I’m only 5’5″…boohoo….
Candy
Neithern I like being short any shorter I’m offically be a freaken midget LOL
Now skinner I coul definatly go for!!
NONE- I like my hight
Taller – easy answer. When I have my clogs on, I can actually reach the top shelf in the kitchen.
neither. i’m about 5′ 10″. shorter would be too short, but taller would be too tall (i’d hang off the end of my bed).
shorter
Taller
Tough one. I think I would rather be shorter, if we are going 5 inches. Since it is more acceptable for a woman to be short rather than over 6′. Now if it was only an inch or two, I would rather be taller.
I’d go taller and become 6’4”. Though it’d be harder to catch a guy, I’d just have to find an Xangan who chose to become 5 in. taller himself. =)
Also, I love being uniquely tall! I’d keep that advantage!
although I”m 5’8″ which is above average for a girl, I would love to be five inches taller!
Definitely five inches shorter. I’m 5’9.
taller
well i don’t want to be 6’1 i think that’d be a little too tall
Taller, for practial reasons, such as being able to reach things and my pants not dragging on the ground all the time. And so that my boyfriend wouldn’t have to lean down to kiss me all the time.
taller. it would make me 5’8. I could deal with that better than being 4’11.
taller, my height is whats stopping me from modeling
taller, since I’m only 5 feet even, shorter would be devasating. Actually 2 inches would work. That’s about the amount I need to be able to reach everything in my cupboards zans stool.
Taller so all men like me more.
i’ll go with taller. i don’t want to be tall, but i’d rather be 5’8″ than 4’10″.
5 inches taller! I’d still be only 6’3″…
Shorter – 5’5″ would be cool for a woman, I think.
I think if I were five inches shorter that would make me chubbier. If I were five inches taller that would stretch me out and make me skinnier.
Taller.
taller, cause I’m 5 11, so I’d actually be able to dunk(I think)
ooh… taller. Cause I’d be 5’11″ taller and 5’1″ shorter. I don’t really like the idea of either of them though, not really.
Taller. But I’d rather just stay this height
Taller. Bumpe me up to 6′ 7″ instead of 5′ 9″.
Taller–I’d be pretty tall
shorter.. I’m 5’10″ and I hate it.
I’m 5′ 2″ and I actually love being short, it’s fun, so I’d have to go with 5 inches shorter….although I do sometimes wonder what it would be like to be taller….
shorter. i would rather be shorter because my husband is only a couple inches taller than me.
I’d 5’3, so I’d rather be 5’8 than 4’10. Especially because my boyfriend is 6’1. Though, then he’d really not have any real reason to pick me up all the time, which I would miss.
taller, i could be a model!
taller because im actually pretty short right now
i’m 5’2″. five inches won’t hurt.
Taller, because then I’d be 6’7″, and I would have been much more likely to make it into the NBA…
Shorter
I’m 5’8″, slightly above average.
I will always want to be taller. I may grow one more inch.
If I chose taller it would make me 6′ 1” that doen’t sound to bad but then I’d need a taller guy and even where I am now that can be a problem!
Taller, if I could be at the same weight I am right now.
Probably taller because it would mean that I would be leaner. lol Short is cute, though.
I am happy with my height.
5’11? So 6’5.
I can live with that, 5’4″… I would not be pleased.
taller!
I’ve been told I’m a legal midget, and that really upsets me.. who thinks “When I grow up, I’m going to be just as tall as I am in 5th grade!” Definitely not me T_T;
I’m 5’0″, so.. it sucks just a bit. The world is not made for people under 5’2″?.
My height’s not so bad, but shorter would leave me more available men and an easier time shopping for clothes. You can always take the hem in, but you can let it out if there’s nothing there already.
Taller. >D Then I’d be 5’4. That’d be AWESOME.
Neither, I’d have to go out and buy new clothes.
Posted 10/15/2006 at 11:00 PM by Soultender
haha, good point.
if new clothes were paid for, then i’d like to be five inches taller. then i’d be about 6’1, making me in the middle of the tall people.
Taller! I’m only 5’2” which is usually fine with heels and such but being five inches taller, I wouldn’t have a problem with (five inches is probably too much, though…more like three would do it for me).
taller!
I’m already 5’8″ tall, so I’m happy with my heighth. I’d be over 6 feet tall if I gained 5 more inches… I wouldn’t want that for I am female.
Also, I wouldn’t want to be 5’3″ tall. That is too short for me. I’d have to get on my tiptoes to kiss my sig other….
Do you want to be 5″ taller or shorter????
Christy
taller
taller!!!!!
taller. it sucks being this short. i wouldn’t want to 4′ 10″
Taller.
Five inches taller. I’m 5’4″ so that would make me 5’9″, and that’s okay with me.
[ariana]
taller.
stretch me out. w/o a doubt. TALLER.
Taller….being 4’10″ isn’t fun actually…especially when majority of high schoolers are WAY taller than you.
Absolutely taller.
I’m tired of all the short jokes.
Taller
Neither, I think I’m the right height for me
Hmm…….I like my height, but if I had to choose, I would choose to be 5 inches shorter.
-KrIsTiN-
taller. of course taller. unless there were bullets flying at 5’7 inches off the ground.
taller
taller! im 5’0 :[
Shorter because I’m already 5’8″.
6′ or 5′ im a girl so five inches shorter because i can wear heels if I want to appear taller, but If i’m 6′ I would never wear heels and I would be taller than my boyfriend, i don’t like that.
shorter..im already like 5’7 thats good enough for me..as i am a girl.
taller :]
i’m sixteen years old. i’m four foot eight. what the hell do you think? although, being able to pass for 12 is handy……
Since I’m only five feet tall–I don’t have much height to lose. I’m gonna have to go with a defiante five inches taller on that one.
SHORTER!!!!!!!!! God! Being an asian woman who is 5’9 is difficult enough.
Uhm, I am a 5’11 inch woman, so shorter would be better.
Shorter if I had to pick (5 in taller and I’d be 6’1″), but I really like my height.
Taller. Definitely
Both
If I was 5 inches shorter, I would be about the average height of a chick (around 5’3), but then my weight would be distributed really poorly D=
If I was 5 inches taller, my weight would be distributed even more evenly than it is now….But then I’s be around 6’1″ D=
It doesn’t work out ether way for me, really =/
