My father’s side of the family was tall. My mother’s side was short.
I came out average. 
checks own legs How YOU doin’?
I’m a bigot myself, but it goes both ways. I only find people attractive in my size range. (Somewhere b/t 5’5" to 5’10"). Anything different than that, I just have a problem with. I’m not intimidated at all by men much taller than me, I just don’t find them attractive. Same with shorter guys. My boyfriend is 5’10", so he comes in just under the wire.
However, I work with a guy who is smokin’ hot. I mean, absolutely beautiful in man terms, and it’s a shame that I can’t really appreciate it b/c he’s about 5’3". (He also has a FANTASTIC body, though.) He says he has a tough time with it, so I know it’s not just me.
I’m tired of thinking I’m a bad person with every little predjudice I have. I don’t really have many racial predjudices, I never even notice when someone is handicapped, and I don’t have problems with a certain gender. Let me have my one bit of bigotry!
When I was in high school, I went to a basketball game where I sat next to a girl I didn’t know. She was cute and funny, and we really hit it off. I was definitely working up the courage to ask her out. At least until we both stood up. She was about 6 inches taller than me. I remember stammering something, then slinking out of the gym.
In retrospect, I was incredibly rude, if not cruel. If she was already self conscious about being tall, this didn’t help a bit. But it wasn’t because I was turned off; on the contrary, I thought she’d find me ridiculous (I’m a touch over 5’ 8"). This is one item on my long list of things I’d do over if I could.
Well, you’re a bigot, but I suppose I’m a bigot too - I’m 5’8" and I’ve never dated a man who was shorter than 5’6".
Of course, a man who was shorter than 5’6" has never asked me out, so it’s not exactly like it’s been a huge issue.
I was at a bar once sitting on a tall stool and a fella asked me to dance - I hopped up to go with him and his nose was literally right between my breasts. We were actually both a little weirded out. (But I still danced with him.)
I’ve often wondered, when there’s that much of a height difference does a couple have to avoid the missionary position lest the ultra-tall partner smother the shorter one?
Man, I was hoping that this would be an appropriate place to talk about a coworker who told me “You just can’t trust those Jews, man.”
Oh well, there are always other threads.
It was never a problem, and in fact, we fit together PERFECTLY in the “spoons” position for snuggling.
The funny thing is that I’m 5’2" and the shortest guy I’ve dated is almost 6’ tall.
I’m 6’ 7".
No, I don’t play basketball.
Do you play miniature golf?
You eat worms for breakfast? eeew.
I’m 5’10’’ and find myself intensely attracted to small, petite females. I’m not sure exactly why.

I’m 6’4"… and have a totally sweet ass!
If you looked like a previous girlfriend of mine, you could hang around the stables and no one would notice.
What???
Surely all Aussie ‘Sheilas’ are big blonde buxom wenches who play beach volleyball all day.
An ugly Aussie bird??? nah!!!
I am 5’9" and I am also a height-ist. I have dated shorter men, but I prefer taller men (at least 6 feet).
I like it because they actually make me feel sort of petite and feminine, and I like taller men.
Hubby is 6’2".
As far as sexual attraction is concerned, I tend to be attracted to skinny guys (though I’m not), and height isn’t an issue at all. I love 'em tall and lanky, as well as little skinny guys and everyone in-between. My partner is tall and boney, which is perfect.
Other than sexual attraction, a person’s weight is totally a non-issue for me.
She was English. I should have known better.
