Rachel Bilson Height

to all you insecure short girls out there, know that you are beautiful!
i'm here to tell you that if you are short (even if you're not the best looking girl in the world), it's better then being tall. this may seem harsh but hear me out; other people have already stated this on this thread. short girls are generally more attractive to guys because they are delicate and don't overpower/immasculate guys (they aren't man-like). i'm 5'11 and i get lots of compliments but i feel like the amount of guys that are dateable is a lot smaller then "normal girls". if 85% of the population is shorter then you, and most (but by no means all) shorter guys feel intimidated, it's hard not to feel discouraged. the average height for women is 5'4 or something, being so far above that is terrifying at times. i believe tall guys shouldn't feel as awkward as tall girls because women LIKE tall guys, it's actually a hugely attractive attribute. not saying that tall girls aren't attractive, with our long legs and limbs we're very sexy, but i believe the social stigma still exists that girls should be small. to any tall girl reading this, confidence is the most important part! @CC i feel your pain, don't let the world get you down!

I think she's absolutely cute. I'm 5'1 too and I was incredibly mad with my height, but once I did realized that being short is a lot better than being tall. If you have a hot body just like Rachel and a gorgeous face like hers, you can always look cute, sexy, whatever you want. I'm short and skinny and guys seem to love that for some reason, even tall guys (well, everyone is taller than me), they always tell me that they love my body because I'm not intimidating just like tall girls are, or because I have a little ballerina body or because I look like a ballerina from a music box. I think is all about the attitude and how you handle your height (and your style too, obviously). Natalie Portman is another short girl, she's also 5'0-5'1 not taller, and who will care about Natalie's height when she has such a beautiful face, body and so much talent?

One downfall of my lack in height is that I'm often not taken seriously. I also don't wear make-up and i get mistaken for a child a lot. I have a daughter who attends an after school program and whenever I go pick her up I almost ALWAYS get mistaken for a middle schooler. All the eighth graders are taller than me. High school kids think I'm a joke. But I know I'm the snizzle so I don't let it bug me.

@CC, I have a friend who is 6'3" and she is a model. She has tons of guys chasing her all the time. I think her confidence and genuinely kind heart have a lot to do with it. I don't think your hieght is your problem, it's your attitude about your height. I am 5'0.5", I model also and also have guys chasing me all the time. I'm cofindant and I'm not insecure about my height. I was in the military and had a "man's" job. I loaded massive bombs on fighter jets. a lot of people would say "You're an ordie, NO WAY!! You're too small." But I was the one laughing when I could litterally carry twice my own weight up 3 flights of stairs. Stop beating yourself up about how tall you are and embrace it. I've been called some pretty bad things and a lot of people mess with me by putting things just out or my reach and such. but I always get the last laugh one way or another.

it is always the small ladies this side has been friendly with.the tall ladies...not so much.@CC i would try to make you think positive but that would be a waste,you seem very insecure and i dont think i can help you.if you were short there would be tones of messages trying to support you,but you are tall,so nobody cares.by the way i am 1.78(5 10)and i had never been rejected because of my height,and i have my flirts with tall guys(and i mean tall guys,over 6 2,not the 1.78 you mentioned)and short guys too,and my bfriend is
6 3
i think that any height can be great,kristen bell and ana ivanovic are the most beautyfull ladies in the wordl i think

Hi im a guy and just saying to that one girl whos 6'1. i find tall women very attractive and by the way, i got picked on alot when i was in school. i'm 6'5 and let me tell you i dont mind. people are always asking me to get stuff up high and dust the ceilings and get the cobwebs...

lilly says on 19/Jun/11
OMG! Im 5.9 feet tall but for some reason i feel the same way as u because this tall guy always calls me short. Dont worry about your height because a lot of guys go for short girls because they are cute. Plus most guys will be taller than you but not at my height.

Rachel Bilson warmed my heart last December 2 when,watching "Rawhide,"I caught a delightful No Nonsense knee high commercial.Calmly and gently putting the soft suntan reinforced toe knee highs on with the 5'1" sweetheart's blue pants she wore,Rachel just looked sweet and pretty! But happier yet,no cough medicine commercials this time out. And Rachel's knee highs delightfully tickled Rachel from knee to toe. Now I love you,Rachel!

Tori, you've made me laugh so much! I am 5'4'' and I would do anything to have your height. Just like you've said, small girls are "cute", but sometimes I want to feel sexy, not "cute". And with this short legs it's really hard... So enjoy your height, a lot of women dream about being that tall!

CC says on 17/May/11
I wanna say to all of you to not bitch about your height. Suck it up. I'm 6,1 and yes a girl. I'm slim and don't look like a man but I certainly feel like one. It's always awkward when you are sososo tall. I wants to wear heels more than anything. No guys want me and believe me, you think you are being teased? Come and live my life. It always makes me so mad to see cute little girls whine about their height. Just today I found out that I don't fit for anything. Even for a model I'm too tall, even though I have a face and body for it. So all my dreams are crushed and if there were a surgery that would make me smaller, I would pay millions. i cry over my height every day and even now when I'm wiring it. I fell like I won't find a descent man in my life. Of course, all pervs look at me because of my long legs. My advice to you is just live. Live your happy little lives and know that someone has a crappier life than you.

WOW. U ALL ARE SO AWESOME, POSITIVE, & POLITE TO EACH OTHER - VERY REFRESHING! Height conversations always get nasty, but here it's, "Oh, i wish i was like you" or "Don't worry about your height, just be confident" and so on -- encouraging words. Really cool. ...With the exception of "anonymous" who obviously is challenged with reading comprehension and somehow attributes our positive short girl pep talking as tall girl bashing. Ah, hello? If we're saying we wish we were taller, isn't that PRO-tall people?

Vic says on 26/Apr/11
Hey short girls, don't worry about your height. I'm 5'2 and 38 years old. As long as you take care of your body, are healthy, in good shape and most important, confident. That's what is truly attractive to men. By the way, all 3 of my boyfriends before I got married were over 6 ft tall. My husband is 5'10. I have always attracted very tall men and I think men like shorter ladies because they like the way they look beside a petite lady: masculine and strong. So relax, get some heels for going out, and enjoy!

cassidy- at 14 yeah you stand a good chance of growing. but how much is impossible to tell- how tall are your parents? have you already had a big growth spurt? the best indictation is when you got your period- usually you finish growing about three years after that.
I am really surprised to hear your comments- men tend to be nicer about my height - 5'1- if they bring it up much at all. are you sure it isn't just their way of flirting? at 14 boys can be very bad at that stuff- they tease instead of complimenting- sometimes because they are uncomfortable with their feelings and worry about what their friends will think. either way i wouldn't worry- while i wouldn't describe myself as a man magnet-sadly- all the women in my family are short like me, and many of my friends aswell, and none of them have ever had problems attracting men- have to say i'm pretty jealous of most of them!! whenever i feel low I take comfort from seeing girls like rachel bilson, kristen bell and knowing how gorgeous they are and how little their height affects them.
i hope that helps.xx

Cassidy - I'm 4ft 11 and I'm now 50, its never bothered me being so short besides the problem with clothes but you just learn what suits you and learn to sew. I never had any trouble getting a fella either, and I've never been called, dwarf, midget, elf etc in my life(to my face). There is nothing you can do about height so just embrace it and be happy with it. xxx

Hi, I'm 24 years old and a bit over 5'11 tall and I have a message for you shorties: you are SO lucky. I have fallen in love with a 5'6" - 5'7" guy and let me tell you it's a problem. He says it's not, I say it's not, but I can feel that it is for him. I personally like it, especially intimately, but socially it can be awkward, especially since my part of Europe is a bit traditionalit -- just one tiny tidbit, do you know how when people like telling couples that they look good together? Well, no one ever told us that. But what to do, he's the one and we'll just have to live with it. So you shorties should suck it up and be thankful for what you have.

Reading this has made me feel so much better but I was wondering if somebody could please answer my question. :) I am 14,(freshman in highschool),only 4'11, and proportionate. I know it's not too likely, but do I still have the chance of growing or "shooting up"? I get the words "adorable" a lot from my friends, but when it comes to guys it's always "midgit, dwarf, elf" and "She would be cute... if she weren't so short". This has made me more insecure than ever before and I was wondering what your thoughts on this were? I have spent lots of time asking (and yes, googling) about if being short is okay and praying about being happy with my height but I can't really just accept it for what it is and I could really use any reassurance anyone has to give. It would sure help me a lot.

It sounds like a lot of girls on here are insecure about their short stature. It's a shame because there is no reason to associate short height with negative attributes. I'm 5ft7.5 but my best friend is 5ft1. She gets just as much attention from guys and looks just as cute in clothes as me or any of our tall friends! In fact a lot of guys I know seem to prefer short girls because they associate short and thin body types with femininity. Personally I would never wanna be over 5ft9 because really tall girls look man-ish. Kate Moss is the most successful and most beautiful supermodel of all time and she's barely 5ft6. So if you are a little on the shorter side don't feel bad! Petite girls are largely preferred by boys. So be happy with your body!

Girls, what matters the most is always your personality and how you present yourself.
I went out with a friend who's 5'11 and I'm a mere 5'2.5. He thought I was 5'5. When you are confident and can give people a good impression, whatever height doesn't matter. I see many confident girls around me who are smaller and I always envy them. They also have boyfriends who are 6'++.
Rachel Bilson is pretty and confident in her own way - I never thought she was 5'1. There are many celebs (Kristen Bell, The Veronicas, Isla Fisher etc) who I thought were tall too, but they're intelligent/confident so I just assumed they were all 5'5+. Know how to appear with a lot of moxy, and all the height nonsense disappears. The relevance of sparks and emotional linking doesn't always have to do with face/height/appearance.
