Height discussion?

You look pretty tall and thin in your photos. Maybe the ‘ thin’ plus the cameras perspective.

Yes, I think it is because I have abnormally long limbs and am slender. I've had multiple people estimate my height to be 5'9" online, and multiple people in person say I'm taller than them when we are the same height.

I'm a hair under 5'6".

I saw my previous post here, which now seems a bit bitchy. I have nothing against guys shorter than me - I have dated some guys who've been shorter than I am.

Most recently measured I am 5'8" which is getting into tall territory here in the U.S., but height's not indispensable criteria in finding a guy, or girl, attractive.

I used to dislike tall women, excepting a few with which I was friends, although I dont feel that way as much anymore.

Dislike tall women?

It was a phobia I used to have, like wasps, syringes, needles and blood etc.

I had a phobia of tall men too but it was women in this context I think. I'm not as bothered as I once was. I'm sure I mentioned this before, no? I thought I had.

:shrug:

The only height phobia I know of is the one I have when I buy a new pair of slacks, knowing they'll need to go to the tailor to be hemmed.

This is really more of a complaint about petite women's sizing and less about height but, I just wanted to throw it out there since we're not well represented.

Last night I awoke from my sleep, drenched in sweat, jolted up by a rather disturbing nightmare that somehow I was Lark and I'd been subdued by the serial killer Jigsaw from the Saw series, forced to endure one of his psychological torture experiments:

As Lark....*fights back tears*...I was...tied to a chair...and f-f-forced t-to...*begins to sob, uncontrollably* sit..through...A LIVE WNBA GAME....*loses all composure and falls to the ground*

You guys should've seen them! The women were so tall, and with the bodies of Roman gladiators....it was like a synchronized terror exhibition...

Even just the though is enough t-to...*begins to feel woozy; passes out due to the stress*

I hate it in all ways, makes me feel inferior to anyone. Even children, because I know they'll just get taller than me soon. I shouldn't compare myself to people who were born male but I do, because a lot of them can't help but compare themselves to me too. I'm not sure why a woman would want to be short since it pretty much just shows that height is power that men have over them. Anyone telling me my height is cute is a pet peeve and brings out my Napoleon complex, it being "cute" is a big part of why I despite it.

Also, just read the rest of this thread (I was curious about people's heights) and I can't really imagine having any preference about a person's height in dating... but then again I'm not a person who dates so whatever.
