Would you rather be taller or skinnier?

skinnier! it would be nice to find pants that fit my thighs and waist at the same time. right now, i have to size up on the waist to have the thighs fit.
 
I'm pretty happy with my height and weight. I'm 5'6'' and around 123lbs 🤷‍♀️ I wouldn't want to be taller and if I got skinnier I think my family would get worried...
I'm trying to get stronger though! I've been working out to put on more muscle and increase my fitness 💪
 
But I'm already considered skinny. So taller it is! I've noticed much more females around my age are taller than 5.5, so imo I don't think 5.5 is average these days because of that. Sad that I'm always short compared to a lot of females.
 
I’m trying to lose some weight, but I’d rather be taller. It feels like people are always towering over me. If I were just a few inches taller it wouldn’t be an issue.
 
I haven’t commented on this thread in a number of years, so I’ll go ahead and give my updated answer. I’d rather be taller. I’m quite satisfied with where I’m at in terms of weight. If I were just a bit taller, maybe I’d stop being mistaken as a minor.
 
Taller. I'm already taking care of my weight so not too worried about that. Plus it would finally be nice to no longer be mistaken as a child or used as an armrest.
 
I’m 5’2”

I can control my weight and it’s consistently lean

I can’t control my height

Easy choice
 
id much rather be skinnier bc ive been wanting to lose weight and i dont really mind being short
 
I mean, I'm both tall and skinny, lol, can't really get that much skinnier without getting into unhealthy territory so it'd have to be taller, though not that much taller.
 
Taller for sure. A good body mass is something you can work towards, but being tall is purely based on genes. For reference, I'm not even 5 feet tall, I've pretty much stopped growing, and it's always been a pipe dream of mine to at least be 5 feet. Oh well, it's never happening 😭
 
I'd rather be taller even though I already am. My body isn't chubby and I don't need to be any skinnier into unhealthy territory.
 
Taller slightly
It's an inside joke in my family that I was aiming for a certain height and stopped about a cm or two short of it, so it'd be cool to just add that amount. I'm already fairly tall though.
 
Thinner I suppose! I'm pretty happy with my height despite being on the shorter side, but I'm super paranoid with my weight.
