    I'm about 5'8" and just ever so slightly above average height for an adult male in Aus (at leas the last time it was worked out in statistics) so i'm actually pretty pleased with my height.
    I dont know when i stopped growing but maybe a few years ago.

    Ideal love interest height? i'm torn on this one as each has it's advantages. Having a shorter love interest would tickle my protective instincts a little. On the other hand, having a taller love interest would have a... 'refreshing' feel to it.

    Well, I’m currently 5’4ish as a 14 year old female and I’m fine like this. While short and tall height all have their advantages, I would like to stay a bit more on on the average spectrum, where I won’t stand out and can do anything without people finding out who it was afterwards because my height is so common.

    I’m not sure if I’ve stopped growing yet though...

    Also, perfect love interest height would be taller than me, but not too much taller.

    1. Are you happy with how tall you are?
    I'm about 5'8" and happy with my height.
    2. When did you stop growing? Are you still growing?
    I think I stopped growing at around 16-18, but I may have grown a bit more afterwards. Some of the dress shirts I had that for years had sleeves that were either a little too long or just the right length suddenly have sleeves that are too short. This is really annoying because I now have about 10 dress shirts that I need to replace because of the sleeve length.
    3. If you could permanently change your height, how much taller or shorter would you make yourself?
    No change.
    4. How much taller or shorter than you is your ideal love interest?

    No real ideal height, but a range that I'm okay with. The upper limit would be 2/3" taller and the lower limit would be about 6" short. (I'm male fyi).

    *horrible puffy eyes and slightly hangover but let’s do this because...*

    Coincidentally, last week I had a complete medical examination from 8:30 to 10:30 am and I was so happy to find out they measured 159.5cm only to discover later that one is usually taller in the early hours of the day... :blobpensive:

    1. I’m usually around 157-157.5 cm. I’m ok with my height right now because in Japan, I’m kinda average. I can reach the handles in the train, S and XS sized clothes fit me well, I can lay down perfectly on a single tatami mat. In my home country, I’m a shortie...which makes all sorts of things inconvenient... Once I had to buy a new tracksuit but the only one that fit me in the store was a kids size...

    2. I was actually a lot shorter during middle school and I thought I would end up being 145cm the rest of my life. I was most of the time the shortest one in my class. But I began to be more physically active and eat more balanced meals after that. I ended up growing up to my current height to the end of my senior year when I was 16-17...I have some weird stretch marks in my lower back from that. But I was still paired up with middle schoolers in my judo class at that time... *sobs*

    3. I always wanted to be 160 cm just to round up the number...and I felt some extra cm could help a little. I don’t think I could suddenly deal with being a lot taller since I’m pretty used to this line of sight and when I wear heeled shoes everything looks so weird.

    4. I always wanted to date someone taller than me. My husband is about 165cm so it’s perfect blobmelt_thumbs but he suffered a bit living in countries of giant people like Germany, Austria and Finland.

    I'm 179cm. Should I vote 180cm or 178cm in the poll? Or don't vote at all? :hmm:

    1. Are you happy with how tall you are?
    I'm 160cm.. well, I'm fine with my heights but sometimes I wish I could be taller
    2. When did you stop growing? Are you still growing?
    I guess around my final year in high school
    3. If you could permanently change your height, how much taller or shorter would you make yourself?
    Around 5cm taller, that way I could try more various outfits without the need to customize it
    4. How much taller or shorter than you is your ideal love interest?
    haha I don't really set a standard, but someone taller than me might be great for hugging~ :bloblove:

    6.3ft roughly (191 cm).

    no idea. In early 20s maybe. Who knows.

    I am almost perfect
    Shorter, but honestly my ego is too big to think about love interests at all.

    1. Are you happy with how tall you are?
    Yup, more or less
    2. When did you stop growing? Are you still growing?
    Stopped growing at ~14-15
    After that maybe but it was super slight
    3. If you could permanently change your height, how much taller or shorter would you make yourself?
    Maybe a bit taller? I'm okay though, just a tiny bit shorter than average I guess
    4. How much taller or shorter than you is your ideal love interest?
    10cm taller? Just a good amount taller but not more than half a head-ish

    1. Are you happy with how tall you are?
    Yes, as I got used to it ... unless I end up in some 'shorter is normal' country ... and while sleeping I would be ok with shrinking to roughly 5' - just to have more space ...
    2. When did you stop growing? Are you still growing?
    I think sometime between 14 - 16 ...
    3. If you could permanently change your height, how much taller or shorter would you make yourself?
    I am roughly 6'6" (197 or 198 cm) so hitting spot on on the 200 cm would be nice ... and easier ...
    4. How much taller or shorter than you is your ideal love interest?
    height doesn't matter, size does ... but I did feel a bit awkward with girls taller than me, especially as one loved to wear heels ... really awkward ... but might be due to the fact that it isn't very common for me to meet girls taller than me

    1. Not completely. A few more inches to make some things more convenient would be nice.
    2. I think at about 16
    3. ... I don't know. The more I think about it, there are upsides and downsides to any height. I'm about average right now, so maybe it'd be better not to change it at all. .... Maybe 3 or 4 inches taller than I am now?
    4. uhh, haven't thought of that before. I guess someone about my height would be ideal, since I wouldn't have to look up or down to talk.
    ooh, my brother has those on his back too. I'm sure lots of people have those marks, but this is the first I hear someone actually confirm my assumption. Neat.
    When I was younger, I wanted to be taller. So I envied the location of his stretch marks. I say location, because I got stretch marks too. But I got them on my butt...
    :sushi_dead:
    Edit: A weird thing is I think his stretch marks are still pink, even though it's been years. Googling about how common it is, all the things I saw said they should fade and not be red anymore after enough time passes. The time isn't specific, but shouldn't a few years be enough...?

    Yeah, it's a bit weird his' are still pink... Though mine did remain pink for a few years IIRC, they eventually whitened out.

    *pat pat pat* That's a sad location to have them... T.T

    Hmm...I'm 33yo and I still have mine but now they are slightly paler than my skin...I’m not sure of they’re fading or not since I don’t keep track of that. One time, long ago, when I did a check-up before going to college, the doctor told my mother that I could get esthetical treatment with acid to get rid of the marks... >.>; I also still have a mongolian birthmark on my butt...

    1. Are you happy with how tall you are?
    No, wanna be taller~!!! I'm only 5'6". When I was a kid, I was taller than all the boys and I got teased a lot - but I actually enjoyed being tall. Then the little shits went through their growth spurt and I became tiny. Let's be a giantess! Let's eclipse men!

    2. When did you stop growing? Are you still growing?
    I'm not growing anymore. I don't know when I stopped, I just know it was sad times.

    3. If you could permanently change your height, how much taller or shorter would you make yourself?
    Probably a whole foot?

    4. How much taller or shorter than you is your ideal love interest?
    I don't mind whatever size. You can cradle a smaller love interest all protectively in your bosom, but you can tidily cradle yourself in a taller love interest's bosom.
    (I do love the hell out of tall women, though.)
