Really. I would be ashamed of myself if I thought it would help, but my preference is so much a part of me that I don’t see any value in changing my views.
See, I don’t much care for tall people in anything other than a casual acquaintance sort of way. I’m about 5’6" and while I may consider some people as tall as 5’9" or even 6’ attractive, it is in an aesthetic sense only. Like looking at a Lotus Elise or a particularly fiery sunset. But thinking about any kind of intimate interaction with a tall person is … well, it doesn’t seem natural. It’d be freaky, like Merry getting it on with Eowyn or something.
Don’t get me wrong, I know some very good people who are tall. Some even over 6’. But I would really hope that they never thought of me in that way because that would really be something I’d just rather not have to deal with.
Are you a male or female? That would be pretty relevant information for this thread, as what constitutes tall “people” (or is it persons? ;)) differs substantially between the sexes.
Funny you should mention a Lotus Elise, Inigo Montoya. Tall people have the pain of never being able to drive a Lotus Elise and dozens of other fine small cars. We simply don’t fit. Those cars are made especially for folks of your stature, not for us.
I think I’m in the minority. I’m a woman who has a thing for short men. I’ve always been turned off or intimidated by tall men and they’ve never appealed to me.
Now, what excuse can I come up with for loitering at a jockey club?
I’m deterred from women who are either older than me, or taller than me. I figure I’m going to need some edge to counterbalance the natural superiority of women.
I’m the same height as you, Inigo. My wife’s 5’10"; a lot more in heels. It did freak me out when we first started going out together, but now I think it’s amusing.
I know a guy who is 6’6". I was intimidated by him for a while, too - found it weird to relate to him. I guess maybe I’m a bit of a bigot too. (Strangely, he married a friend of mine who is 4’11".)
I am a 5’2" woman who is marrying a 6’7" man. I gotta tell you – after a few months, I stopped noticing his height. The only time I notice it is when I look at pictures and see that I only come up to chest level on him!
To quote Tom Lehrer: “I’m sure we all agree that we ought to love one another, and I know there are people in the world who do not love their fellow human beings, and I hate people like that!”
Many, many years ago, when I was 14 and he was 6, I was at a store with my brother. A couple with a kid in a stroller came in and stood beside us. Lilbro looked her up and down, then him uuuuuuuuup and down. Didn’t say a word.
When we left the store, he said “can I ask you something”
“Sure”
“You won’t be angry?”
“Nah”
“Are babies made lying down”
“Mostly”
“AAAAAAH”
The wife had been the perfect height to give the hubby a BJ with both standing, so Lilbro’s question was perfectly logical.
I’m 5’5", got some friends who are 6’4" and over but, dunnow, being too close to them gives me a crick in my neck… mind you, so does being too close to 4’8" girls! It’s just not very comfortable when you’re standing up, but heck, Lilbro figured the solution out just fine
I’m ~5’10" and interacting with a woman taller than me is very odd. I am usually the tallest woman in a group but I was walking with a co-workerette who must be 6 foot or more, and it was very strange.
