    Lanky bastards :(

    Women can't tell how good looking a tall guy is, because his face is so far away. It takes some women longer than others to find out. You quite often see them standing on chairs for a closer look, before running away screaming, or not, as the case may be.

    I prefer short girls, between 5ft and 5ft 3, roughly.

    5'9" is short? Not much hope for my 5.5ft self so.

    At least I'll live to be 90.

    If more tall people had the attitudes of short people, there wouldn't be very many short people left in the world.

    Yeah I like tall - not Jeff Goldblum tall, but run-of-the-mill tall's all good.

    I wouldn't like to be tall myself though.

    Actually I've heard that average height has increased over the last few thousand years so natural selection does seem to be favouring taller folk, just give it a while :)

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    I'd but as you allude to it is more to with his football ability/wealth than his height.
    Peter Crouch was recently asked what he would be if he wasn't a footballer, he replied: "A virgin".

    Hilarious.


    I have a mouth, from which words can be exchanged. I know girls, I know lads who are very popular with girls. There's this new-fangled thing called speech, where one's ideas and thoughts can be shared... you might need a bit more evolution yet.

    Im same height as you and happily married to a beautiful woman. I can tell you that I have never had any problems with women and found being tall was a very positive attribute to have. Women prefer taller men it seems, and most guys would like to be taller than they are. Here is an article from America on tall men and women, hope this cheers you up

    The Dating Scene

    The preference for taller men extends, it seems, beyond the boardroom and into the bedroom.

    Steve Penner, the previous owner of a Boston-based dating service, says he heard it all the time. "It is common for many women to insist that any man they date must be "at least" four to six inches taller," he says.

    And the reason may be genetic.



    Tall men are more likely to get married and have children than short men.

    Experts like James Gould from Princeton University believe that women's preference for tall men is hard-wired into the brain, and it's there because it relates to good health.

    "When height is an indicator of health, this is not surprising, and if females are programmed to look for health, they would end up with taller males," Gould says. "It's entirely plausible this is true."

    And a study published in the journal Nature seems to back up this theory. Robin I. M. Dunbar of the University of Liverpool and colleagues studied 3,200 men in their 20s to 50s, whose average height was 5'6." They found:

    Taller men are more likely to be married and have children than shorter men

    Childless bachelors are significantly shorter than married men

    Those with children were, on average, 1.2 inches taller than childless men

    Married men were an average of 1 inch taller than bachelors

    Now I finally understand why tall men live shorter lives!

    Definitely a big plus for me if a guy is taller than me! I'm 6 foot so I've met a lot of guys that don't even come up to my tits:rolleyes:

    It's not that important though, it's how you react to your height. I hated being tall for years, mostly because one of my friends who was a short arse made me feel bad about it, but I'm beginning to see the benefits. Trust me, in a few years time you will see that being tall has definite benefits!
