[QUOTE=beergeek279]
Well, I’m 6’3 and have a rather large penis, so I suppose I have to abstain in this poll 😃
[/QUOTE]
But then the question for you is, if you had to, which one would you give up first? It’s tough – I can’t even decide on my own answer. :mad:

No preference. I don’t think either attribute matters.

Psst…I think the guys should choose the tall option. Gets you in the door quicker and if you’re charming and wonderful, you aren’t going to get dumped for having an einy weiny. Well, not by me anyway but I can’t speak for all of womankind. Short guys simply aren’t as attractive especially to those of us that like to wear 3 inch heels.

I’ll take short with a big dick. Why should I change now?
[/QUOTE]
Dang it, I was gonna post this. I Guess I’m also slow. Actually, I have it on very good authority that a microphallus can be at least as…effective…for a woman. They got lots of good junk right there at the front door that us regular guys have trouble interacting with. But I’d still rather not be tall.

I’ll go for the small penis. You can’t be president for less than 6’ 1".
But once you’re president, it doesn’t matter how big your penis is, you’ll still find plenty of girls.
[/QUOTE]
Of course it doesn’t matter. When you’re president you automatically become the world’s biggest dick.

I’ll take the short guy. I am so sick of the awkwardness of dating tall men. I have to stand on tiptoe to try to kiss them, we look really odd standing next to each other, etc. I will take the well endowed short guy any day. Endowment doesn’t really matter though, height is more important. (Also, I have dated a man with a micropenis. It is so small it sucks into his body when he is soft like a bic pen. He was fantastic in bed and he learned how to do other things REALLY well to make up for his, um, shortcomings. He was an ass though.)

I’m 6’5", and rather well endowed. If I had to decide, I think I’d keep the tall. I am more aware of that, but have never known what it was like to feel insecure about my size below the belt. In other words, my height comes into play all the time, my John Thompson less frequently.
It’s really a tough question.

I suppose since I asked, I better offer my opinion…
Personally, I would prefer the taller guy with the small penis - not because I really dig tall men, but because I really don’t like monster penises. Big is fine. Massive, as suggested by the OP is really kind of a turn off.
Also, in my experience, with one notable exception, guys that tend to be less well endowed downstairs make up for it with other skills, which is always fun. 🙂 Also, it’s much easier to, uh, perform oral on a smaller penis than a big one, and if you kind of like that, that’s a good thing.
Ok, I’ve said too much, I’m leaving now.

My sweetie is short (5’4") and quite well endowed. Not “monster-sized”, but very large. He is also very skilled in other bedroom type areas, although most well endowed men aren’t, in my experience. Word definitely gets around about him; once at a party he was introduced to someone and they answered back with, “Oh my God! I’ve heard you have a great dick!” I would say being a bit short hasn’t hurt him in the least.
So, anyway, I know what I would choose, as a woman. Because I did. 🆒

Speaking as a Gay guy, being short with a large penis is certainly not seen as a problem by anyone I know… But being tall with a small penis may not make ya too popular with them…
I think there are guys who have a small penis fetish, but I think they’re relatively rare in the community.

I’m 6’5ish with plenty to spare,[cough]size 15 shoe[/cough] and more importantly, I know how to use it. But if I had to give one of the two up, I’d lose a bit of the schwanz. The height is a natural magnet.

The height is a natural magnet, and I have exceedingly well-honed skills with OTHER body parts that could make up for a shorter schmingee.

Go for it. Tall with no boobs, or short with – oh, wait, nevermind. Have at.

Short with a great rack. Why change? —oh wait nevermind…
Female weighing in for choice number two. Height doesn’t do much for me. I’m 5’3", as long as he’s marginally taller than me I’m fine with that. Whereas big dicks can be fun (although too big can make certain…activites… difficult.) Certainly more fun than getting a crick in my neck every time I kiss him.
