Poll: Height. Is it really such a big deal?

[samuraiweasel]

Its not that big of a deal for me because im on the higher side of average, being 5'11".

I like being tall, I'm 6'3" and i love it, it also helps because i like a girl that's shorter than me, but if i was say: 5'5", i'd have a relatively hard time finding a girl that's shorter than me. Plus...short girls are just cuter...i'm not sure why, they just are.

Yeah... it's important so i can reach the cookies my mother always puts away so high up ;P

 

[kjrubberducky]

I'm 6'2", and I don't really notice it, unless one of my co-workers is asking me for something on the top shelf.

Mostly, it's because I've gotten used to it, considering I reached this height as a freshman in high school, and was 5'11" in 6th grade; back then, I really felt more of an outcast for it, and it really made me feel better when there was someone else as tall or taller, so I didn't feel really obvious.

I remember times when people liked other people because of their personality, not their height.

I'm pertty tall myself, but it's really not important.

I find the title and proposed question to be funny. Unintentional pun?

As to answer the question, I find height to be a useless matter. I'm 5'10-5'11, very average. My friend, Jake, is 6'5. Though he is bigger, people tend to find me more intimidating, and to have more of a presence in the room.

PS. I can also kick Jake's ass.

Yeah, it is. Tall people are more successful at everything, and there are stats to back it up.

Then again, I'm 6'2", so I'm biased.

Any evidence to support that claim?

it's a little deal. I wish I were a little taller but what I'm I going to do about it.

Hmm when I read success I was thinking in terms of getting a good job but I guess reproduction is another form of it to some people.
