Would you rather be 4 foot tall or 7 foot tall?

I suppose I'd rather be 7 feet tall. When you're 7 feet tall, you can always bend down to reach things, but when you're 4 feet tall, you have to climb on a stool to reach even the kitchen counter. Besides, maybe if I were 7ft I could get a spot on the Miami Sols.... Go Sols!!! (Miami's professional Women's Basketball team)

That's a tough question for a woman. I'll bet every guy will say 7'. But a 7' woman? Still, I guess I'd have to say 7'. Either way, clothes would be impossible to find. But at 7' no one would mess with you and you couldn't get lost in a crowd.

7 foot tall

Probably seven feet. I would hate being so short.

There's no doubt about it. God exsits, simple as that.

I'd rather be 7 foot tall. I'm overweight at 5'3" but if you stretched that weight into 7', it would be a normal weight, whereas if you compressed into 4', I'd be a little round ball of blubber. But seriously. Both have their disadvantages but I think I'd rather be tall. I've never seen a fat tall person, have you?

7, but only if I had my own tailor who worked for free.  It's hard enough finding pants at 5'10"!

Definitely 7 feet tall: Being tall is so much more useful than being short.

Well im used to being short, so 4 feet tall i suppose. either would be annoying, tho.

As a guy, I'd much rather be 7 feet tall than 4. It'd suck to be so gangly, but I know that no attractive girl (and few unattractive girls) would ever, EVER date a dude four feet tall. Unless of course she was 3'9". Luckily I stand six feet tall and date freely. Poor short dudes....

Neither. This is a case where I would rather be in the middle of the bell curve. Life is much simpler when you are of average size.

7 foot tall

Four feet tall, I guess. What a choice! I think most things in this world are built for convenience of "height-challenged" persons. Seems it would be easier to make my way around.

Being 6 feet tall and a woman, I'd rather be taller than shorter.

While neither option is desireable. I'd rather be 4' tall. Less stress on the body's bones and less hassle in daily life.

I'd rather be 4 feet tall and comfortable in standard furniture.

Jill, 61

I'd rather be shorter.

I'd much rather be 4 ft. tall. As a woman, 7 ft. is just too unusual. There are lots of short women out there...in fact, my mother is only 4' 9 or so, and she's a lovely woman!

I think 7 foot tall. There are more opportunities, as sad as it is, for taller people. Maybe I could be a basketball player!

Tracy, 24

7, I'm less than a foot away from it now so there'd be fewer adjustments to make.

I'd definitely rather be 7 foot tall. I'm actually pretty decent at basketball and with that kind of height, I'd be a millionaire!

7 Feet Tall

Kevin, 33

Neither. 5'4" works pretty well for me.

Karen, 22

I would rather be 7. I'd have to shop in the little kids department for clothes and I would have to rely too much on other people because I could reach most things, reach the peddles in the car, etc.

Stephanie, 25

Even though it might be harder for me to get a date, I'm sick of not being able to reach the pedals in my dad's truck.

4 feet. Being 7 feet tall is more freakish than being 4 feet tall.

Johanna, 18
OK  USA

I would rather be 7 foot tall. I am just about 6 foot tall and have reached that height by the time I was 12. So all the jokes about Jolly Green Janet, or Big Bird wouldn't bother me at all. I've been through it already. I enjoy being tall, you can see at concerts, people respect you more when you are tall, I can reach the produce at the back of the display. Now that clothing in tall sizes is readily available, it good to be tall.

Janet, 44

7 foot tall would be my choice. You could see over the croud at concerts and sporting events.

7 feet tall.
