I'm short.
Not painfully short, but below average. On a good day I stand at a whopping 5 feet 3 and 1/2 inches (that half is very important to me). This makes for certain difficulties on the day to day that I never seem to notice until I see someone who is taller than I am do it with relative ease.
For example: I can't reach the top shelf of anything without a chair or stool. At work I have to have people get take-home containers for me because I just can't reach them. Putting ice in the pop machine is an absolute chore which involves a chair and then still lifting the bucket of ice up to head level.
At grocery stores I have to ask people to get stuff for me from the top shelf if I want something up there.
Also when I am unloading the dishwasher and having to put away things on the top shelf I have to climb onto the counter top to do this.
When I go to a show that doesn't have stadium seating I have to either be in the front few row or I literally can't see because of people sitting in front of me.
If your car/truck/whatever has lifts - you better be prepared to lift me into it.
Oh well.
It really isn't so bad. I can pull off high heels without looking like an Amazonian freak. That's a plus. Right?
Regardless of anything else in this post - Smallville season eight premieres tomorrow! I am so ready...!

Honestly, I am not short, i think i classify as just above average. I cant say that i know what you feel, but i have known many people that do. And to tell you the truth... there is something that you are over looking. You mentioned the idea of high heels that means that appearance has at least some importance to you(not even mentioning that you are a girl =P ). You should take this time to realize that a majority of men find some things as simple as a girl a few inches shorter than them very attractive.
Cute & adorable know no height restrictions.
i am 5 feet tall exactly! it's a huge chore...but at least i married a man, JeffEry (haha I just had to put his name since another Jeff commented.), who's 5 foot 10. it helps! (and I am a "few" inches shorter than him, so perhaps it was my height he thought was attractive...(0:)
just know, though, that I TOTALLY can relate to you seriously! it sucks being short most of the time...
OK, that's creepy, i am 5'10''.
i'm 5' 4 5/8" in the morning on a good day. :) this makes me the tallest woman in the house because my mom is only 5'2". so guess who gets all the stuff from the top shelves? my dad is 6'2", though, so he gets all the stuff i can't reach.
