Does Size Really Matter?

I feel ya Lips.. i'm 5'5" my daughter is 5'4" 1/2.. sometimes i'd go through.. i wish i was a little taller.. or i wish i was a little shorter and she does too, so even being at my height or her height just not happy with it, if i were 5'9" i'd probably wish to be shorter.. if i were 5' i'd wish to be taller, so which height would be the perfect height i'd be happy with, i have no idea lol.
As far as, im attracted to taller men, i love the 5'10 range and higher, i dated someone my height once and for some odd and strange reason i did not feel secure with him.. the tallest i dated was 6'8" loved it.. lol

I'm 5'6", a nice medium height. Yes, I'm happy with it. I've dated men from 5'8" to my current boyfriend who is 6'1" so I guess yeah, come to think of it (although I didn't realize it) I guess I'm attracted to men of an average height like myself.

Ok, where did you get 6'8" Lips?

I am 5'2" just like my mother and my daughter is a little taller and I wish her to be really tall...runs in family I guess but weird cuz my almost 21 year old brother is now 6'4" and o yes, he is a hunk...lol my son is only two but doc.says that he is the tallest baby he ever seen so far so am crossing my finger for him to be a tall man-want him to be a basketball player someday.

Well, I am 5'8" Which is just fine with me.  Like Lips, I LOVE my heels, but I don't wear anything higher than 3" because I think 6' is TOO tall.  lol

My FAVORITE height for a guy is 6'3" it just seems to fit me perfect, I'm not sure if it is cuz I feel safe or what. lol  My current boyfriend is 5'6" which normally I would think is too short.  But the first time I saw him, he was boxing and knocked some1 out with just 1 punch, I think the "feeling safe" wasn't an issue anymore.  lol  I think he is the shortest guy I dated, the tallest was in JR College 6'10"  he was so dang tall that he could actually jump over me!  lol

hi girls...and gentlemen...me im 5'7  that pretty tall for the normal asian girl...i guess. so always taller then lots of my friends which moslty were non asian.  so i loved it.  i wear heels at night.  for me and many girls it makes us walk, feel, and look hot ...flip flop when sun is up, plus i live in san diego...open toes all year.  i agree with if i was shorter i would then want to be taller and vise versa.  we always wish and want.  but if he/she dont like it then someone else will honey.  ive learn to live and love myself.  women love taller GENTLEMEN  but if they are shorter thats OK too as long as they are A GENTLEMEN.  ive dated and doned  a little of everything, so to each its own.  OHH but i LOOOOVE a manly MAN...especially in bed.  and yes he is not  always that  "tall".

when there's a spark between 2 persons, i do not think that size matters. actually, love conquers everything cuz when you're in love, your mind doesnt work at all. you'll always follow your heart when you are in love.

There's a great saying "Good things come in small packages"  ;D

I'm a short 5'2" and I will not be seen without my high heels either, although my legs are as long as my friend's who is 5'6".  My husband is a massive 6'8" tall and I feel like a little elf next to him.  I prefer tall men, always have.

I did go out with short man once and I just couldn't hack it so 6 feet or over is good for me.

blue

WOW

Blue, you and your hubby are almost exactly the size of my parents.  My mom is 5'2" and pops is 6'6".

So you look tiny next to your hubby!  hehe

I will harken to some studies on height.  Most studies conclude that tall people advance/ get promoted/ get jobs in a better fashion than short people.  Case in point:  With I believe two exceptions, the tallest candidate has always won the race for US President.  CEOs in general are NOT short people. 

Now, this does not mean short people have horrible lives, but cream-of-the-crop positions in life tend to favor the "tall category."

These studies also show similar bias regarding fat and skinny people.

I am 5'3" tall and I have always dated men that are taller than me. It just happened that way. It really doesn't matter how tall he is. It is more important to me that he is kind, and has a sense of humor. My X-fiance' was an electrical engineer was 6'2. I found out he cheated and made him feel like 4 ft. tall-LOL. It is always the inside that matters to me.

I am 5' 3 and my bf is 6'. I have not dated a guy under 6'. I think the tall guys must have a thing for short girls!

This was a very, very interesting question.  Thanks, Lips!  I went back and did some reading on the subject.  There have been several studies that note taller people get "more."  (Larger salaries, more opportunities, etc.)

But....there is more evidence that being overweight will "cost" you in society.  The "Cellulite Ceiling" rules.

Well I am 5'71/2" and I think that is average. I have always been happy with my height except when I was in school and seemed to always be taller than the other girls. My husband however is only 5'6" so I never wear heels since he is a little sensitive about me being taller than him. It has never bothered me, you can't help who you fall in love with. I always dated taller guys, 6' at least but then I met my husband and that was it.

There is saying, 'The smaller pepper is hotter!!!' heh heh...I am short but I am very spicy...LMAOooooo.

I am 6 foot 6 but the funny thing is that I’ve been this tall since I was 16(I’m 27 now). I use to play competitive sports and I remember other teams asking for my I.d because they thought I was much older. I don’t mind being really tall but I rather be average height or closer to 6 feet. I guess you can say that I am attracted to shorter women but it doesn’t really matter unless their taller than me then. Nothing wrong with really tall women just not my thing.

I too am quite short, 5 '3''. In my country, Serbia, people are very tall, women are 5'7'' on average (that is considered the shorter end of the scale, I kid you not), so I am basically a dwarf here. 

My height, or lack of, bothers me a lot to be honest. Being tall, people here are very judgemental and look down on us shorties like we're contagious or something. I've been called midget, dwarf, hobbit, shorty, pint-sized you name it, highschool was the worst.  

I am regularly the smallest person wherever I go. I wear heals pretty much all the time. It got a little better as I got older, since I stopped caring so much, but it's hard living in a country where height is such an important stat. 

dont know where ya getting ur info from 

Haha Zuga, yeah I really wonder where that idea came from, considering you are about 9 feet tall

Size does not matter as long you're happy. I'm not tall but it does not concern me at all because we all come in all colours, sizes and craziness. Enjoy your life because you only live once, don't mind what everybody else think about you. Besides, love is blind remember? :)

I suppose like a lot of things personal taste and preference is decisive in terms of which height is best. 

I am sorta tall at six foot. My wife is petite...which I like. 

I am happy with my own height.

I suppose in some areas of life height is more important than in others

I read that overweight people face employment discrimination in hiring for instance.

Who knows if height is a factor in this regard as well?

But there must be other areas of life where height does matter in a specific, concrete and practical manner. 

For example, you probably won't make the cut in the NBA if you are short. 

But there are exceptions to every rule, like Muggsy Bogues and Spud Webb, to name just two very short pro basketball players.

Well I am 6`4 and I just think that short girls are the cats meow. Just cannot get enough of them.!!!

Haha, the name of the topic really pushes you to open it and check if really the size matters! I am okay with my hight, but generally speaking, I would love to have a partner who is taller then me. But, when you like someone, the hight doesn't matter. And the size too 

Ha-ha, I'm sure you can Lips, to be honest I'm most affraid by the short people tell me there's no logic in that

I am 1,91 m tall and I always found things to small or to short in everyday life.

Well size will always matter to women whether they want to admit it or not... No women likes it short :-)

BTW back to the topic : I am happy with my height 1.72m, just wish was a bit taller, since I do play basketball. But yeah no issues with my height

I’m 6’2 and I love it. I can date any girl who wants to wear heels and she’s fine. I know guys that have gotten dumped after she saw how much taller she was in heels.
