    Attraction is subjective. However I think women in general prefer taller men(I do).

    Naaaaaaaa... I can wear my heels. You just have to shop around a bit. We come in all heights too. At 16 I was 5-10 and with 3 inch spikes or high heeled boots I'm 6-1.

    I love tall chicks. As long as they have some shape to them.

    But tall chicks don't really go for my height, though I have pulled tall girls a couple of times.

    Lovely.

    I think I'm shrinking.

    I was measured 5ft'9 many times but now it's 5ft'8 (and that's in sox) :(

    On a brighter note I was towering over Bono at Christmas on Grafton St by a good foot .. soooo ... that means .. Degsy's spot on :D

    midget is a bit harsh for bertie, he looked about 3 inches shorter than 5'11 tony blair everytime there were together

    now his french counterpart is a midget

    Now that I think of it, I've never been with a girl around my height (6ft 3).

    I'd love to see what happens if I hooked up with those border-line midget wimmen. You know the ones, they look like they shrunk in the bathtub.

    and possibly sleep in the hotpress :pac:

    I wouldn't worry about it, thats fairly average in height I think, and there will always be chicks smaller than you. I'm so tall I can't look down, it makes me dizzy.



    5"2 :pac:

    Last November Sarkosy turned up unannounced at Croke Park and requested a box from the FAI to see the Ireland v France World Cup play-off game. The FAI responded by telling him there was no boxes available at such short notice, but that they did have a lovely footstool he could stand on to get a better view of the pitch.

    Didnt anyone ever tell you that great things come in small packages? :pac:


    I love being small, just kinda suits me if that makes any sense. I find the best hidey places too :D With a pair of heels on I'm about average in height.. but don't wear them very often because they hurt my feets :(

    Bondage you say? I've a whip here and 6 telephone books, get yer kit off! :pac:

    And anyway being super tall gives me a reason to not get girls, rather that than just being a big prick.

    dude wait till you get a bit older and everything will fall into place

    i have been 6'2 since i was about 13 and have to say 11 years later it is a hole load more fun than it was then

    I've always wanted to be shorter. I'm just over 5'9"...(girl here). Not even *that* tall. But with heels I do tend to be taller than every male person I know.

    Taller men also earn considerably more than similarly qualified shorter men over the course of their working life. There have been lots of studies done on what is known as the "height premium".

    Bertie Ahern? Saw him in person a few years ago and could've sworn he was close to 6ft.

    Of course, being a small fellow at 14 might have affected my judgement a bit. :pac:

    I likes tall wimmenz. Actually, I like shorter wimmenz too. Like a Funsize Mars Bar, or the Extra Long Twix, its always going to be good.

    'Cept if they're an ugly chocolate bar. Like a Topdeck.

    It's ok, you're only 16 so your bones will stop growing soon, which means you shouldn't get that much taller. 6'3 isn't immensely tall, you probably just seem taller if you're skinny, giving you that "lanky" look. You'll probably fill out in the next couple of years and start putting on muscle, if you want to speed it up maybe eat a bit more protein and take up weights (ask about that on the fitness forum). Once you've filled out a bit you wont be as "lanky" and you'll be bating off the lassies with a shtick ;) girls love it when guys are taller than them, especially when they can wear heels and the guy is still taller!
