Anyone care about height when choosing their significant others?

Oni, don't feel bad about being short. Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of Aikido and perhaps the greatest martial artist the world has ever seen, was under five feet tall. You do not have to be tall to do great things. Height is of no consequence and any woman who would reject you because of your height is not someone you want to be with anyway.

I am 5'10" and my hubby is 5'11"... we are pretty close, but when I wear heels, he feels a little inadequate... I never understood it... My previous boyfriends ranged from 5'7" - 6'5".... and everything in between... height is definitely not an issue for me!
My dad was a wrestler in HS, and the weight loss/gain he did stunted his growth.. now he is about as tall as mom, but mom never wears high-heels.. Wink

height isn't everything, just as winning isn't everything, and size sin't everything. That is unless you are tall, you won, or you are big. " (insert word her) isn't everything" is a copout.

This comes from someone who isn't tall. I wish i was, but my frigging parents are 5'2" and 5'6", what could I expect.

but it's not everything. It is something, and every person gives it a little more or less significance. Personally I wouldn't like dating someone taller than me... something about burly chicks... laugh out loud

I wouldn't care if they were taller, as long as they didn't have broader shoulders......

I only wear heels on VERY special occassions... It is tough when you are tall, hard to find nice shoes in a size 10... I almost always wear sandals anyway!


Oh an by the way... we need a hippie smilie!

I am 1.72 meter and my wife is 1.70 meter. I prefer it when the woman i'm with is a little shorter than me. From friends of us, the girl is about half a head bigger than the guy, it really looks odd.

But much harder to round up!
