To be honest, I'm not totally comfortable with it.
I'm 5'8 myself, and I'm asian and it's very unusual for an asian girl to be as tall as I am. Therefore, I am taller than all my friends, and many of the asian boys =P although I don't find anything wrong with being tall (i like it), I just don't own a pair of heels. I've never cared for heels, they're not comfortable, and i don't think i need to be any taller.
There's nothing in it for me.
