Random Question

How tall are you?

Do people expect you to be taller or shorter than you actually are when you finally meet them IRL?

Re: Random Question

  • How tall are you? 5'8''.

    Do people expect you to be taller or shorter than you actually are when you finally meet them IRL? I think people generally expect me to be shorter than I am, especially if they have seen a picture of me next to my brother. I look so tiny, but in reality he's 6'5'' so my 5'8'' looks tiny even though I'm really not.

  • I'm 5'5. No one has ever said anything to ms about my height although someone said "I thought you were going to be Asian!" within two minutes of meeting me.

  • I'm 5'9.5". No one has ever said anything about my height (or rather, people are always shocked by my height so I don't think it's an, "I thought you were short" thing as it is a, "holy crap that woman is tall" thing...), but I get comments on my surprisingly strong Midwestern accent. I guess I don't come across as Middle America on the Internet? 
  • I'm 5'5 but most people think I'm much shorter than I am. I blame it on all my insanely tall friends

  • I'm 5'4".  My family teases me about how short I am, but no one has ever said anything to me outside of my family.  I more get comments about my height/weight ratio than my height.  Which I guess is worse. Sad

  • I'm 5'4" and no one has really ever said anything about my height.. If you all were too meet me, you might think I am shorter than that because my husband is 6'4" and I like like a midget next to him!!

  • I am 5' even...well that is what my DL says so I am sticking to it.  It is after all a state issued document.  Most people think I would be taller since I never wear flats.  On the off chance I have on flip flops people always make a comment. 
  • I'm 5'3".  I don't think people expect me to be tall when they meet me in real life.

  • I am 5'7 and have a big personality so I think it fits.

     

    I am the giant next to my sister she is only 5'3. So I guess if you met her first you would might be surprised.

  • I'm 5'9.

    No one has ever mentioned my height.

    ETA: I take back that last part. My mom's friends all assumed I would be really short like she is and were pretty surprised when I towered over her.

    I have no idea why, but this does surprise me.  

    Did you think I'd be taller or shorter?

  • I'm 5'3", but I don't think anyone usually has any expectations about my height.

    How tall are you? 5'1, 5'2 on a good day

    Do people expect you to be taller or shorter than you actually are when you finally meet them IRL? I have been told that people expect me to be taller. I'm not sure why, though, just what I've heard! But yeah, I'm a shorty. And C is only about 5'9. Baby C doesn't stand a chance...

  • Im 6'0". I'm not sure how tall people expect me to be. I don't show too many full body pictures on here. Do I win something for being the tallest so far? Haha : )

  • I'm 5'7". No one ever says they expected me to be shorter or taller though. But a lot of people tell me I'm tall, which I guess I kind of am.

  • How tall are you? Almost 5'4

    Do people expect you to be taller or shorter than you actually are when you finally meet them IRL? Hmm...I dunno. I've never had anyone mention it one way or the other.

  • E&A and Mary- I expected y'all to be shorter

    KC- I thought you were taller

  • I'm just shy of 5'9", sadly. Growing up, I always wanted to be either short or 5'9" and I came about 1/3 of an inch from making it.

    Afton & Mary - I didn't expect you to be that tall, either!

  • I'm 5'5"..no one has ever said anything about my height, I'm just average!

    See! lol

    I wonder why this is.  

    It's because those of us who are friends with you on "the internet facebook place" have seen your full length pics where your legs look super long. Thus we think you're tall! 

    I've seen a lot of military surprise homecomings. It wouldn't work on me. I always have my back to the corner and my face to the door. Looking for terrorists, criminals, various other threats, and husbands.
  • Another 5'7" here. I can't really remember anyone making comments on my height.

    exactly this..not sure why I am so shocked by this!?

     

    I am almost 5'9.  I have no clue if people expect me to be taller or shorter than that...?
