Would You Rather #5




I'm only 5'3'' and I'm used to being "fun size." I enjoy being able to ride my bike on the sidewalk and not have to duck when a branch comes along. I used to be good at doing the limbo and it made being a ballerina (a looong time ago) easy. So if I had to choose, I would choose to be 4 feet tall. I'd go and buy a foot stool and one of those little grabber/reach-y things that you see elderly people using to pick things up off the floor. I'd probably need a pillow to sit on in the car, but I don't think I would be happy at 8 feet tall. The main reason being all the unwanted attention my height would bring. You kinda stick out at that height. Sure it would be cool to never need to stand on your toes for anything and no one would want to mess with you, but I'm more of a fly-under-the-radar kind of girl and don't like to draw attention to myself.

Which would you rather be?

I'm about 5'3", too.. and I'm so used to it now. I do struggle with finding the perfect clothing size.. but being 8 feet tall would have the same issues. I'd say 4 feet.. it'd be a ton more fun, too!

I'd rather be 4ft tall. I'm only 5ft and it's much easier being small than being really really tall.

Definitely 4 feet. I would imagine that since society is more or less used to either really short people or people with dwarfism, you'd get less negative attention than if you're head/shoulders/knees/toes above of everyone else. Plus you'd have a lot more health problems at 8' tall than 4'.

I'm 5'1, and I sometimes wish that I could be taller. But I'll definitely choose 4ft tall over 8ft. I also don't like to draw attention to myself. ♥

I don't know which I'd pick! I'm 5'7 so I'm on the tall side, but not so tall that I feel like I stand out. I guess I'd choose 4 feet. I'm like you and don't really like drawing toouch attention to myself.

4 ft. I'd be a horse jockey!!

I would totally go with the 8Ft tall! I am 5'6 and I still barely reach the top shelf in my kitchen. It would be awesome to be tall!

Dina Fragola said...

Neither must be fun :/ But I'd probably knock myself unconscious every 5 minutes if I were 8 ft...so I'll go for 4...

Angie said...

Hmmmm, I think I'd go for 8'... I always wished I would grow up and be a small girl, and I am kinda small (5'4") but I think I'd have fun being 8', plus I could easily reach stuff, decorate, etc. ^_^

Well, since I'm already 4'8 I guess another 8 inches wouldn't kill me... actually, yes it would.
