I'm 6"3,I agree with anyone who says being tall has both advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages:

Women love tall guys.

Easy to reach things

In my case great for karate,kickboxing and boxing,because of long reach.

Intimidating to others not so tall

Have more clothes to fit in

Have an excuse to use your mother's or someone else's shoulder as arm rest if they're shorter then you.Like I do.LOL

Alot more hugging to give.LOL

Being tall makes it harder for a balding on top head to show to others.



Disadvantages:

Easy to hit slanting downward ceilings on top of stairway.

Uncomfortable seating in airplanes

Need to bend to take shower

Back problems are very common

Toilets seem so freaking low especially in Chinese restaurants.LOL

Have to stretch your legs to side in car if you are stuck in back sitting behind someone else who is tall.

Can't take baths only showers otherwise legs and feet stick out of the bath.

Being tall might not look good if you are slim.

Have to slide body down in chair so your hair dresser can cut your hair.

Have further to bend to pick something up off floor (can be a pain in the ass if that something else is heavy as hell)


These are only a few advantages and disadvantages I can think of at the moment.


As far as women are concerned I like shorter women. I prefer women who are 5"2 to 5'5.

Here comes dwarf tossing.LOL

No but seriously I do like shorter women,I want to be able to look down in my woman's eyes as I'm sure she would like to be able to look up in mine.I've always had a thing for short women.I don't mean shorter then 5"2 though because that's a midget.

May seem weird but that's my preferance despite my height.I won't go out with a girl that is as tall as me or a just a little bit shorter,to me that is too tall for a woman.

I like tall men, rarely if any time going out w/ a man shorter than 5.11. I like to wear heels, being a Texan...even boots have a heel...hehe. Tall men can make ya feel safe & protected!

Dude,

Im only 5'6 and even "I" find the toilets in them Chinese restaurants too low for me! LOL But for some reason, I keep getting told that Im 'just the right height" but I'd like to know for what? For all you tall ones out there - please tell me what you're referring to - and NO, Im not talking about arm rest comments! :P

I love tall women. It make is so much easer on my back when I slow dance with someone around 6’.
But I cant rule out the short ones either. I can see down your tops if you ware that low cut blouse. (Evil Grin)

And if you are tall enough, there'll be some places where you can even stand up.

Tall sucks! Sorry, had to say that, just b/c I'm not. I'm 5'9" barefoot & it completely bites! Cant buy a pair of jeans w/o having to have them tailored. & it makes for some interesting dating too. Ever lean over to kiss your date while standing & realize you have to look up? OK women might be used to this but, I'm not. My last ex was exactly the same height as me but used to wear these shoes w/ really chunky soles so, I always had to stretch a little. It's kinda odd.

I suppose there are advantages to being a shorter guy. Like, I remember in school when playing football in Gym class, for the first few times I never got picked early. But, that changed when they saw that I could squeeze through stuff that those 6' 4" + guys would get stopped by. Plus it helps being built like a f-ing tank! The opposing QB usually just laid there, stunned, wondering WTF just hit him!!! Never underestimate short people with an atttitude. Feeling 10' tall & bullet-proof & don't mind proving it.

I just thought of one good thing about taller women. It makes those really light kisses on the neck much easier! Plus, I gotta agree with being able to look into your partners eyes. You can only look at a pillow so much!

IM 5'9 and I hate it. I wish I was shorter at least a little shorter cause it seems like all the men that I really start to like are shorter then me and the one rule I have for myself is not to date a man thats shorter then me. I guess maybe for the right man I might be able to change that but I guess I havent met him yet cause ummmm Im still not datin anyone shorter

@ missie ===> You may have missed your Mr. Right & never even known. He might've been short & you walked on by. Hey, it's possible. I know it feels wierd & beiing taller than a guy & all but, ya never know.

I try not to rule anyone out from the start. I've dated taller (6' 0") & much shorter (like 4'11, short) & I gotta say when you're actually in a relationship you don't really notice the height thing. Well, not to the point of feeling uncomfortable. That's my 2 cents worth for now.

Yeah I have thought about that but I get really uncomfortable when I am with a man that is shorter then me. I have done it before and that is what made me decide not to anymore. There may be someone that I would be with no matter the height I just havent found him yet. But thank you MODERN hun. I like input ppl have.

I once went on a couple of dates with a guy who was 6' 5", I was wearing 4" stilletos, and standing on a curb that had to have been 12" high, and he, standing on the road beside the curb was still taller than me. It was great, we laughed so hard about that. When I took off my shoes he had to practically double over to hug me. I prefer my men really tall, and I don't mind dwarf tossing one little bit! LOL
