Does size really matter?

[loralei3000]

Height is not a big deal for me usually, I need the look of power in a man's eyes a powerful body can be deceiving, a lot of big guys are subs. L

 

[Kumani]

I like a man to be at least my height (5'11) or taller. I prefer taller because I wear pumps and boots with 3inch heels and above so it just looks more aesthetically pleasing to have a compatible person at my side.

 

[VelvetDarkness]

Well his wife is hawt and he's the President of France. I think he's doing all right.

I've never seen Carla photographed in a pair of heels though.

Nicole Kidman was with Tom Cruise for years and there was a significant height difference, so much so that when they first attended the same awards ceremony after their break-up and some reporter asked Nicole if it was awkward going to the same event as her ex, she replied...

"Well now I can wear heels again he's not usually in my line of sight."

Meow!

I do think that the current trend for skyscraper heels is making it more acceptable for a woman to be taller than her guy. Even if couples are fairly evenly matched, strapping on a pair of 6" stilts will make an awful lot of women taller than their men.

Not recently at any rate. She sported plenty prior to the marriage, I'm sure.

Mine would have to wear 9"+ heels to meet my height.

That can be arranged... mwah ha ha ha ha ha ha

*rubs hands together maniacally*

Hahaha, I somehow doubt that MIS, who is nervous about 3" heels, would be all that giggled up over 9" heels.

Yeah, but at least Katie can blink without tearing her forehead open. Ha ha ha! Zing!

Nicole is lookin a wee bit scary these days.

I have to say, as a total mini-tangent, I really do feel sorry for Kate. She's got painfully thin again and being Mrs Tom Batshit-Crazy-Scientologist Cruise can't be easy. Everything she does appears to be micro-managed by these Scientology Gestapo people Tom employs to dog her every step. She had to go through labour in silence FFS!

I know she chose her bed and all, but I don't understand how it hasn't all driven her to mass, axe wielding A-Listericide yet.

Obviously she's not unhappy enough to leave. Only God knows what about that lifestyle appeals to her, but clearly something does or else logic dictates she'd be elsewhere.

Personally, whether or not I have body thetans haunting me because they were dumped out of a spacecraft into a volcano because Zenu didn't like them is my business, and I think Scientologists are batshit fucking insane. But that's just my opinion.

I've heard the exact same sort of language used to describe someone in a BDSM relationship.

Yeah. Agreed. Bloody insane.

Perhaps it's more similar than we imagine? Being micromanaged happens in BDSM relationships. So does language restrictions.

 

[philosophygirl]

Height is unimportant, but I will say that all the men I've had that were 'well armed'
were under 5'10"

 

[GemFox69]

...everywhere we went, people felt compelled to point out that he was shorter than I was.

Oh, damn, is he really? How come I never noticed? *rolls eyes*

Complete strangers would stop us on the street to ask how we kissed, even though they didn't stop a 5' 10" MAN and a 5' 2" WOMAN to ask how THEY kissed...

I'm 5'1", I once dated a man that was 6'7", 270 lbs. EVERYWHERE we went it was commented on.

I had girls in bar bathroom ask me how it was possible to screw.

Twits all.

Anyway, I used to tend towards big, burly, bears of men. Then I met my ex husband who was around 5'5" and my now husband at 5'6"

They have not made me feel good about short guys.

I miss the big, bad boys badly right now.

 

[GemFox69]

The absence of confidence and self-respect is a huge honking turnoff for pretty much everybody.

The problem for guys with "short man's complex" is not other people, it's them...

Absolutely.

I'm from a family of many short guys and many of my cousins had short man's complex, not a pretty sight when alcohol came to the party.

 

[Sagittarian]

Yes. I'm between 5'9" and 5'10", which is rather tall for a girl. It makes me feel awkward to be taller than the guy. I need a man to be at least 6', so I don't feel like Gigantor.

We're Amazon height I believe. Not quite the tallest, but a fine drink a water. I'm 5'8 and I will admit I love a tall man.

 

[drinkmeup83]

At 6’2 I am an Amazonian and I love it. I have never dated a guy taller than me but I think probably the shortest has been maybe 5’8 or so. I never ask and I am a horrible guesser, I just know they are shorter. Sometimes guys will have more of a problem with it though. My ex used to bounce back and forth between loving my height and telling everyone we were going to have basketball stars for kids or hinting in a round about way that my flats might look better with an outfit than heels. Whatever, I can roll with it.

One thing that drives me nuts though is how people treat my friend that is 4’11. She is just a small person but does not look like she is twelve. People are constantly coming up to her and asking how old she is or if she wants a kids menu. I get asked all the time if I play basketball but that’s not nearly as insulting as hitting me up in the restroom to ask if my friend is 12 or if I should really be letting that kid down a margarita.

 

[Shalrath]

driven her to mass, axe wielding A-Listericide

Now that would be something well worth hoping for....

 

[Myskaninen]

my friends joke that I don't seem to be attracted to girls taller than my shoulders which is about 165 cm

 

[YourCaptor]

Yes size has a huge effect on me.

I would not say it is necessary but it sure helps.

At the moment I am getting to know this girl, she’s 5’3” and so ridiculously sex. Just thinking about her turns me on. Which is rather weird, haven’t had to worry about random erections since I was 17 or so.

I would fuck this girl in an instant, but unfortunately I’m a retard and have a highly restricted sociosexuality. So I torture myself with her instead.

With guys though I think it is necessary, I can’t see myself with a guy even close to my height. But then that’s pretty easy to get. Despite being short in my family, I’m still way above the average American.

Also on a side note, more height has no real environmental advantage, hence height is all over the place. The only advantage of height is for the male to be bigger then the female. From the female perspective that is interpreted as power. So it does not matter if a guy is 3 feet tall, if he can find a 2.5 foot girl the height adaptation is successful.

However it should also be mentioned that we don't purely function on instinct, and we can interpret power past physical size.

loved the poll

i like to feel small and overpowered by my men. i want him to be taller than me even when i wear 3" heels. No skinny men either.....i want to know he can kick some ass if he had to.

its easy for them, i am 5'1" and petite. dont particularly enjoy being picked up--literally--its a cross i must bear.

 

[satindesire]

I would love to be short. I think short women are so freaking cute.

If I was about seven inches shorter, I'd be soooo content!

I feel just the opposite. I love being tall. I can easily reach the top shelf in my kitchen. I can help elderly shorter people reach the top shelf in a grocery store. I can prune tall shrubs without standing on a ladder. It's great.

 

[Netzach]

I forget how short 5'4'' is until confronted with the 32 in inseam.

 

[midwestyankee]

Yikes..... I'm 5' 7" and my inseam is also 32.
