Wow Pia, I agree with you. It's no big deal being short. I'm short and i'm only 152cm. =)
Pia says on 18/Aug/10
Hello :) Im 160 cm , im from germany and my english ist not so good too ;)
soo i just wanna say that Rachel Bilson , Eva Longoria , Shakira and so much other famous people in America have the most sexappeal !!!! To be little might not be every time very confortable " BUT we have soo much advantages ! we dont look funny when we were high heels or we are not always taller than other boys ! A says on 10/Aug/10
Interesting discussion. I'm a 6"4 guy, I weigh about 205 and live on a basketball court when not working or spending time with my gf. On my gf, she's 5"0, maybe 5"1 at a stretch. Wouldn't change a thing about her - the disparity exists in the minds of others only. Proportion is important; not height.
It all lines up when you're lying down anways ;) Peace everyone we're all the best at being ourselves, noone can take that away. Be happy about this! Dee says on 7/Aug/10
I'm 5'2 and a half, so 159 cms. I always looked at her and figured she'd be only slightly shorter than me, judging from her proportions and such so I think she'd be 5'1 solid. Jane. says on 6/Aug/10
Hello,
Sorry for my english (I'm Italian too)
I post a comment because I'm small too ( 5 ft 0.25 in) and I like very much Rachel Bilson. Before, I hated me for my size. I thought that if I had some centimeters I would be more "attractive". Now I realize that it is stupid. A lot of men (usually love the tall girls) are attracted by my physical appearance. I would have been tall and to badly proportionned. I am small and in accordance with my body. Rachel Bilson has everything for her. She is beautiful, amazing and has many class. I think that the size really has no importance. Kylie Minogue for example, has everything for her too. And I think that Rachel Bilson really is 5 ft 1 in maybe 5 ft 0 in. No more. marty says on 29/Jul/10
Well..sorry for my english (I'm Italian..) Please don't worry about your height, tall or short!!! It is just a physical characteristic like blonde or brown!! TO SHORT GIRLS: I'm very short( 5 ft 0.25 in ) and I'm 22 years old, yes it's very short but not "too" short if you are slim and proportioned,.. Try to look other girls like you..it's not a terrible heigth!! And yes, I get comments about my height, but generally that comments are from my admirers :), they also say it doesn't matter because i'm fine and not a midget!! Tall guys date me (184cm, 186 cm)...so, height can be a advantage but is not SO important! IT IS JUST A NUMBER!!!
TO TALL GIRLS : being tall is NOT bad!! my bestfriend is tall and nice and she has NO problem with guys!! :)
.....and for short boys: ..well..I personally prefer short man if they are proportioned!! :) Anonymous says on 29/Jul/10
I don't mean to be rude but all of yous who say men prefer petite (or in english, SMALL girls) are completely ridiculous! Seriously,I am loads taller than my mates and bullies call me 'Lanky.' See, kids will always find something horrible to say about you even if you were the most beautiful person in the world. But am I really going to listen to them and all you people who are posting comments making out being tall's bad and that men don't like them?? I don't think so! Nice people I've met take one look at me and say 'career as a model, definitely.' I'm not being big-headed, everyone has good things about themselves. Can you not say anything good about yourself without being 'big-headed?' I don't know if you're all Christians but I am and God gave us bodies with the height we will grow to, some will be tall, some short but it's about PERSONALITY. Girls, do not listen to boys who say 'Oh my perfect girl HAS to be blonde AND 5 ft 9' No no no NO you boys won't get very far in the world with your love lives if you decide what your girlfriend has to look like. How you treat others will last for ever and that cannot be taken away from you. That is one of the most important things I have learned in my life as a Christian. marty says on 28/Jul/10

I think she's less than 155cm.. Anonymous says on 28/Jul/10
I agree, shorter girls should not feel bad about themselves but I am 6ft tall and I couldnt't be happier with my height. Most models are tall and boys don't just like 'petite girls' if they do then they're wrong because it's about your personality and how kind you are to others. And yes I am super tall and I am glad, thank you very much to all people who say you don't want to be tall and they are upset they are too tall, yes you know who you are who said that, it seems more like you're jealous because you're not tall :D sil says on 27/Jul/10
seriously its cute to be short specially if you are a girl.. you don't want to be super tall and wear heels and be towering over everyone.. rachel looks cute in flats or heels.. i am 5'4 1/2 i wouldn't want to be any taller. so girls don't be insecure.. and don't let anyone tell you different! tall girls even say im short im like uhh ok i don't think im short at all.. they are just upset they are too tall.. maryjane16 says on 26/Jul/10
Tori,
i don't know U but i totally agree w/ U! I'm 5'9 and have always been the tallest among my friends...just like you!
so if you're short, don't feel bad! guys (or at least the guys i know) prefer petites & besides U CAN ALWAYS WEAR HIGH HEELS!! yay! lol. which can make you taller, so no need to feel self-conscious...be happy w/ who you are. i was teased too, but i started liking being myself...it's all about accepting yourself! :) marty says on 8/Jun/10

Sam, it's good that you don't care that much about your height and you're happy with it:) You said that telling someone that they are short is as offensive as telling someone they are fat. But actually notice how today world is f***** up (sorry but i can't find better word for this), that we won't tell someone that they're fat although we should actually tell them "get your fat ass together and do something about your obesity" while we will tell somebody that they are short (probably not meaning it is wrong but everybody knows it can be offensive for some people) although they cannot do anything about it! I understand that there are people who are sick and not able to lose weight, but everyone who is healthy and too thick they always say that their metabolism is bad and make this stupid excuses for them, while in fact they are just horribly lazy. That's why i hate fat people, bacuse if there was anything i could do to increse my height i would try. Thay are just lazy:/ Sam says on 2/Jun/10
We need to have more of these short girl gatherings because I feel amazing after reading all this. I am 15 and not even 5 ft, maybe getting there..and even 12 year olds call me short, I mean it does get to me, like that one girl said its as offensive as going up to someone and telling them that they're fat, I don't understand why so many people think its okay to call me a midget. But over these past couple of years, esp. now in high school, I am growing to accept it and embrace it, I'm don't think I'm gonna grow anymore and why cry about when I should be celebrating? And about Rachel Bilson, I'm pretty sure judging from the pics 5'1 so they have it right... Kaylene says on 14/May/10
Tori, I guess it's just wanting what you don't have. I'm 5'3 and I would like to be taller, like 5'5-5'6. But I would take your 5'7-5'8 with huge happiness. It's tall but not too tall(i'd say 5'9 and over is too tall for a girl.) You're definitely not a giant. And I would love to be the tallest of my girlfriends. I believe that is because now I'm one of the shortest(but at least not the shortest one:). Anonymous says on 24/Apr/10
what a sweet thing to say tori, but you aren't a jolly giant!! i have loads of female friends this height. i am short 5'1, and i am always teased about my height- girls say really bitchy things about it. most people can't see me without having to mention it, and to be honest it does bewilder me, cause no one else seems to get it and yet liek you say loads of girls are short like me! wierd. gotta live with it- one thing you defo can't change, so find something good about it and find a way to work it to your advantage. like there is a very good reason models are tall. there are so many fashion trends i just can't touch, bet you could though. Gvantsa says on 29/Mar/10
ok so i'm 5'2 and a half,160 cm,but i can't believe i'm whole 5 cm taller than rachel, is it her body and her weight or her legs that make her look like her?i could never believe i was taller than her.could i just lose some weight work out and actually can look like her? Tori says on 20/Mar/10
ive ALWAYS been the tall one out of my friends, and thats always made me extremly insecure about my height. while the other girls were cute and little and petite at 5'4 and under, ive just towered over everyone like some kind of giant, mutant, sasquach at 5'7(almost 5'8). ill never understand girls that have a problem with being short because isnt the average woman (geneticly speaking) supposed to be short? candle is absolutly correct, most men will go for a shorter girl rather than a tall one because males in mammels are usually the dominent of the couple ( taller, stonger, bigger, ect.) and personally, most of my guy friends would choose a petite girl over a runway model for those reasons.( what guy wants to look UP at their date?). ive seriously been teased forever about being a jolly green giant, bean pole, who can never wear heels, while other girls my age can get away with wearing any kind of shoes they want! as for being called a "midget" whats wrong with that? 4"11 - 5'5 is not a "midget", its called adorable. Kaylene says on 28/Feb/10
Look at this pic: Click Here She's with Ashley-164cm. Rachel's nothing more than 154. Candle says on 21/Feb/10
YO
The media would have you believe that height in a woman is attractive because they take their cue from the fashion world. The fashion world however is ruled by men who don't like women's physique so they portray the ideal as that of a slim man.
The majority of men in the real world like small women (5'5" or under) because nature dictates that in mammals the male is big and the female is small. We're not that sophisticated that we have got away from what nature and our hormones dictate. RunawayGirl says on 18/Feb/10
Karley, you really have no reason to be insecure. You're 5'7. I'm just 5'2" and I used to be very touchy about my height too, but now I'm not because i know that when people respect you, they don't really see how tall or short you are. Nicki says on 23/Jan/10
I'm 5'3, and i feel like i'm so much shorter than rachel bilson. my legs are just really short. would you consider Rachel Bilson as a girl with a short body and long legs, or just average? basically, do you think her legs are nice and long for a short girl like her? Anonymous says on 18/Jan/10
I saw a picture of Nicole Next to Rachel Bilson(5'2) from the art of elysum event, can somebody post it?i can't! Victorian says on 2/Jan/10
The downgrade is correct; comparisons with 5ft1-ers Kristen Bell and Nicole Richie have proven this. Kristen Bell may be even a bit taller, albeit a very tiny bit. Though I do think 5ft1 is as close as one could get to Bilson's correct height. Kaylene says on 25/Dec/09
I'd say she's about 152 cm. Cause when I look at pics, even at which she's alone, she appears to be shorter than 156. She's very tiny. Girls who are 156 cm differs from her. Karley Woods says on 25/Dec/09
I'm really insecure about my height!
I'm thirteen year old girl and I'm 5,7 nearly 5,8 as thats what my doctor said.
I DONT WANT TO STOP GROWING

I want to reach at least 5,9!!! 4\'11\" says on 21/Dec/09
I'm 4'11" and i have been called short since the 6th grade because thats propbably when i stopped growing and i remember wishing every night i would wake up and be atleast 5'2". well im 22 and i'm still 4'11" and i still wish i was a bit taller sometimes but i have to grow into my body and love it for what it is.

Wow, Amy, I never heard Charlize or Nicole putting down shorter people, or Cameron for that matter (especially since 5' 2" Eva Longoria is one of her good friends along with Drew Barrymore (5' 3")). Amy says on 31/Oct/09
I'm 4'11, maybe 5feet tall with a beau who is almost the exact same height as Hayden--and we look similar to pics with him/her in flats...also, I wear size 5 shoe which is really somewhat an indicator of height and Rachel also wears a size 5--I believe she's probably in the neighborhood of 5 feet and NOT 5'2
I vicariously live through RB because it's nice to know a cute but natural looking and petite woman can have great personal and professional success. Take that Charlize, Nicole and Cameron ;) Amy says on 31/Oct/09

wow I am too old to be still feeling miserable about height but these comments make me feel a tad better. Unfortunately, human beings are cruel and women are by nature competitive (for mates) and like to put each other down. AT 5 3.8 (say 5 4'' and most now say I look 5 5ish but I am honest or stupid enough to report my real height at 5 3.8) and 111 lbs, I have been teased, cajoled, put down constantly throughout my teenage and adult life for being short-a midget. Let me tell you, I am getting a PHD tfor heaven's sake and even in this program I came across women who at 5 5 looked down upon a 5 3 girl and called her 'midget' . I have been called 'the smallest and tiniest person in the world' (and I am not lying about my height either it is exactly 162 or 5 3.8, measured on a doctor's stadiometer) and gotten comments about how short and chubby I am (weight fluctuating between 106 lbs and 115 tops) and am P90X style fit. Imagine! And people in a Phd program are usually in the mid twenties to early thirties-and yet still immature enough to put others down. It is true that the difference between a 5'2 girl and a 5 4' one is not all that much. One of my closest friends is exactly 5 1.5 and I get lumped into the same short category, whereas simple math tells you that if you added 2.5 inches to my height, I could also be lumped together with the 'average to tall ' 5'6.5 category. Why do people do this? Simply to put you down. i admit it is my only defect-there's nothing else wrong about me, truly, and I don't say this to boast but I worked very very hard to become super muscular and fit -I am talking six pack here, and that made people more likely to focus on my height as a defect. IMHO 5 2 and below is 'petite' but definitely not abnormally short and 53-5'5 should be considered average (look it up on the normal curve folks). at 5 3.8 I am about 0.22 standard deviations left of the American average of 5 4'' meaning that 6 girls are likely to be taller than me out of 10 and 4 my height or shorter-about average. So statistics don't lie (coming from a Statistics minor) but people do. Anonymous says on 21/Oct/09

on Project Runway she said that she is 5'2" Cliff says on 25/Aug/09
Hey Rob, I think she needs to come down at least an inch.
There is too much photograph evidence (standing next to Kristen Bell, Hayden, etc,)to claim she's as tall as listed here. I'm now pretty certain she's in Kylie Minogue/Eva Longoria territory. A... says on 23/Aug/09
Rachel is definately not taller than 5'1. She is probably 5' or 5.25. bella says on 17/Aug/09

im 5'0 and i dont mind being short. the only thing that annoys me is trying to find pants that dont make my legs look shorter than they already are. Gemini says on 5/Aug/09
I posted here a long time ago, and I originally thought that rachel might be 5'1.5. But now the more pictures i see, i think it's just not possible that she's over 5'1...esp. after seeing those pics of her standing beside Kristen Bell and looking shorter than her. Plus i have friends who are 5'1 to 5'2 and they don't look nearly as small as Rachel. Also, in most magazine interviews she is described as being REALLY tiny...one article even stated that she is "just a little over five feet". Also, she said that when she was on "The O.C." she had to wear platform heels in every shot just to keep her head in the frame! After reading all this, I'm pretty sure she's 5'.25'' or 5.5...definately no taller than that. Here's a pic from the O.C.:

5'2 seems right blonde1817 says on 26/Jul/09
Definitely downgrade to 5'1" or 5'.5"... in all of the pictures of Rachel with Kristen Bell (5'1") at different events, Rachel always looks 1/2 to 2 inches shorter. In most of these pictures they have similar heels, in some Kristen's are higher but by 1 inch tops. I find it hard to believe that the one who looks shorter at almost every event is actually taller!
Anyways, they are both beautiful examples of how hot petite women can be! I love both of them, and I doubt anyone could deny how pretty/sexy/cute they are! petite says on 26/Jul/09
hey, i am also quite short 5.1-5.2, and i must admit it bothers me sometimes. especially when people are like "you're short!" and i'm like "no, duh!" but really as 5" plus girls, we're not that short, the average australian women is 5.4" anyways, it shouldn't matter. but that is easier to say "don't worry bout it, than to actually not" anywho, you've restored my faith in humanity so thankyou.

I'm so relieved that people find short people normal. I used to be the tallest in class but now that im 13, my growth is getting slower and slower, and i'm only 5'1, i feel as if im getting more insecure, and everyday i'd beg to be taller, but i dont think i will be. well, now that i've seen your comments i feel really happy, that there are ppl like me. when i saw rachel i thought she was 5'5 - 5'6 but now i just realised she is 5'1.5 and i am SOO happy, such a beautiful person is as close to my height. I am SOOO happy. Violet says on 18/Jul/09
Well I'm 160cm from latin background and people always think I'm really short. Funny though when I was living in Spain I felt tall cause most girls were around my height or shorter and so were men and I never got called tiny which was nice. I suppose height is just relative. I'm Australian so everyone here is pretty tall. Also I hate being called cute, I feel like some kind of dog or a consolation prize. short says on 17/Jul/09

I don't think it's because men are *intimidated* by tall women, per se, just that you like to feel manlier and more macho- hence, short chicks are the preference. I mean, God forbid your partner look like your equal standing next to you right? jessica says on 30/Jun/09

I'm 6'2 and looks wise my perfect girl would probably be around 5'2 or 5'3 (and maybe look like Rachel Bilson lol). Some women try to say its because "tall women intimidate" men. lol Not at all.
