Tall...so that you can make fun of the short people LOL!!!!!!!!!!

Side: Tall

I remember on Family Guy when The short guy was sitting by the old guy and the short guy says "Sir will you please stop looking at me"? and the old guy says "Where's the rest of ya?". That was hilarious.

I'm only 5'11. I'd rather be at most 6'1 though because at that height you still have a good center of balance and my speed and strength would increase as well. Anything beyond that I don't care for.

If I was short my center of balance would be better, but I couldn't run nearly as far across or up walls...or jump as high or run as fast...To many negatives.

Additional speed and strength can be gained by training same with distance running

Well. Duh, but the being those extra 2 inches would give me a natural strength and and speed boost. Even if it's tiny.

I'm 6'2 and it's the best. Size really does matter.

I already am tall I am 6"1 and its good to be tall because being tall has its advantage you can reach things for people who are short. It has its advantage when you are playing sports such as basketball because you get most of those rebounds and you can put it back up to score some points for your team. Usually when you are tall you have long arms and you can easily block people's shots and prevent them from scoring.

i'm barely 5'5. :/ i almost though i'd hit at least 5'6 - 5'7. i didn't grow at all the past 3 years (which by the way is quite a blow).

and because i'd imagined myself tall and i WANT tall!

Side: Tall

Because I'm short.

Let me put this in terms all guys will understand. I once saw a woman wearing a shirt with a line across it and a caption that read, "You must be this tall to ride."

I am 12 and 5 ft 3" and my Dad is 6ft 3". I would not like to be taller than 6ft when I'm older because I think its to tall for a girl but I wouldn't like to be small because everyone would look down at you!

I would rather be tall. It gives me more opportunities for a lot more things. Finding a job and so forth.

Side: Tall

Short. Primarily so I can kick a tall individual in their shin and run around them like a mouse.

Me? Two words: Limbo King! Yeah... I can go pretty low but I guess most of you already knew that.

Side: Short

I want to see you do the Cha-Cha slide and get low.

I'm 5'5 I wouldn't say its better to be short but its all I've known so can't really comment about being tall, when I used to hang out with a 7 foot guy I didn't need to be tall and it gave other people a laugh seeing these two punk blokes one tall one short the tall one with a short Mohawk and the short one with a long long Mohawk we looked like a circus act

Then I can tuck myself away and hide from night marauders.

Side: Short

I'm 164 cm, and I wouldn't have anything against being a few centimeters smaller. I don't think small people really have a problem - good excuse to never have to do anything yourself.

Side: Short

Umm short I guess. I already am kind of short, 5'3. But I am a girl, and most guys don't like really tall girls, so that's why I would rather be short.

I'm super tall, which is great at some times, but at other times it's very irritating.

It's impossible not to look strange in photos.

Sure I can reach the top shelf, but the only thing up there is dust; no one else can reach.

People hate me in movie theaters.

People constantly ask for me to reach things for them (even complete strangers).

I know lots of people say "Oh, but tall guys are more attractive," or "You're lucky! I wish I was up there!"

But there's one major downside: Trees are right where my face is, so I have to practically crawl through the streets to get anywhere.

Side: Short

Im short as hell XD I'm only 4 foot 12

Being tall has a disadvantage that is your heart grows III n the ratio of your fist now as the body grows your fist size increases which gives you an indication of how big your heart is. The function of the heart is to pump blood as more and more blood is pumped your breathing rate will increase so as to compensate the energy consumption of your body slowly you begin to feel hungry as energy get rapidly used up. Hence chances of high breathing rates causes the possibility of a cardiac arrest or even a heart attack but such a case is not seen in people with small height but yes dwarfism can be a problem sometimes. ✌✌✊✊☝☝

considering that everything is made low, like chairs, furniture (couches), and bus seats etc are low.. i would rather be shorter. i have a bad joint condition and its hard to sit anywhere.
