I'm 4'11" ~~ I get a terrible sore neck having to look up all the time. My husband is 6'1"

-_-;

If there was such a thing, my ideal would be 5'7"-5'8"

I had a really great friend, who pursued me to no end~~~ he was a giant.... people would stop us in the streets and say "Awww, what a cute couple"!~ I think we probably looked like we'd stepped outta a sideshow. ; ;
I relented to his advances once, and let me tell ya' ---- just attempting to kiss was an enormous challenge! *no pun intended*

~thankfully our awkward experience aside we remained the very sweet friends for a long time after. His height didn't distract from his amazing, infectious sweetness, but he had some other *issues* that were beyond my ability to save him from... try as I did.

I don't think most women really give a hoot about how tall a man is... Though I do feel quite sorry for men my size (under 5-5'4" -ish). I think most guys on the other hand want a woman smaller than them, but I don't think that's so much because of a preference in doing so, but social-sexual views on men who are smaller than their gfs~ like Tom Cruise, I remember when they teased him for being with Nicole... making jokes about him needing to stand on a soapbox and whatnot... and, he's not even that short~~~ Tall women feel that same cliche attitude too I would suppose, that society will ostracize them for how they appear next to men who are shorter vs taller... and how hard that must be when they are 5'9" ~I can't imagine.

I get the looks all the time for being petite... I had men I was dating questioned on their relationship with me with much embarrassment on their part, for if I was their little sister/daughter... because I'm so short.

I don't even wanna get into the whole height = penis size debate~~~~~~~ but, I'm sure that's always in the back of men and women's minds when the issue comes up/decisions are made.

T_T ~~~ I don't judge on height~ (or at all anymore, since I'm married)... but, even so~ I just find taller more difficult on my end of things~~~ And, I don't mean just with men either, to be clear... as I've been in relationships with women who were much taller than me too... it's just a literal pain, but one that I think both people bare when they're *in love* and such... ~~~

^^ it's an interesting topic for sure aquaguy~

def more about insecurities, like you said ~~~ and social perception/misconceptions~~~

I'm 5'4 so most guys are taller than me regardless but I did briefly date someone who was an inch or two shorter than me (and not to mention of a different race from a different country lol)

I of course want to be physically attracted to whoever I'm with but I sort of follow my own guidelines on that and the *image* of who someone is according to social perceptions/expectations just doesn't really matter to me, I actually sometimes sort of enjoy going against social norms tbh but maybe that's just my venus in Aqua or moon/merc/juno in Sag lol

Personally though I prefer not to date someone who is too skinny, although even that doesn't necessarily correlate with height. The shorter guy I dated was very muscular while another guy I dated was just extremely tall and excessively thin lol

eta: I don't understand where the comparison between height and other size even came from lol I don't think there's usually much of a correlation on that either... But maybe I'm wrong haven't really looked it up or anything lol

I think girls in high school go through all those stupid supposed guessing schemes~~ hands... wrist... nose.... height...

--- they're all inaccurate~

~~~ @ fellow short ladies~

<3

&

yes, it would be hard to find someone who was shorter~ I didn't even think of that.

/neverdatedanyoneshorter ---- hmm

shortest guy was maybe 5'2" (failed because of chemistry not size issues) shortest girl was 5' (I was head-over-heels for her, she moved to Georgia) ;;

I tried dating a 5'6" guy once, and I can't lie - it was awkward to bend down to kiss him.

My husband's 6'3", and I still can't lie - I like it.

So, no, height hasn't been a complete deal breaker for me, but it was a factor.

Only insecure guys make an issue of it. I've dated women 4 inches taller than I am in heels. I'm about 5'9"-10"

No, I don't want to be taller. I am the perfect height for sports cars. Tall guys cannot fit into a car well and adapt the best driving position. Tall guys cannot fly military jets for the same reason.

Tall guys are not agile. The best martial arts specialists are all arounf 5'8." I'll take down any tall guy anyday.

Tall guys can't fit properly on a bed, and therefore having proper sex is an issue for several sexual positions.

Few women, if any, have ever told me "you're too short for me." Charisma, charm and intelligence ... plus money... have *zero* to do with height.

Sorry, but you can be tall and not afford to date, and be rudely told to "take your broke a$$ home," which I have actually been told before because I couldn't feed her the most expensive items on the menu and the fanciest of restaurants, which led me to curse, but that is a separate matter.

Like I said, I care most about brain cells.
