Hadn't seen it, but that's a cute one!

I never liked short men, as long as they are a few inches taller than me, it's fine. I am only 5'3". I prefer a man of at least 5'9". My X-husband was 6ft.

[finn's mom]

I'm just over 5'1. I like being short. I have always considered guys 5'9 or under to be short. I have one brother who is 6', and one who is 5'3. My mom is 5'4, my dad was just under 6'. We have always assumed my short brother is short because he was sick with leukemia from 5-10 years of age. My husband is just under 5'11, and he's one of the shortest men I have ever been with. Most have been 6' or more, the tallest being 6'7. I did date a guy who was 5'2, and I really didn't like it at all! My son is only four months old at this point, but he's measuring tall at just over 26 inches. So is my daughter. She'll be 5 in August, and is almost 4 feet tall.

Genetics are wild! We have a dark skinned brunette daughter with brown eyes, and our son is looking to be redheaded, and he's pale complected with blue eyes.

I'm 5'3" (ish) so I get towered over a lot, especially by guys. I do love having a tall guy around, though, mostly because I have short dinosaur arms and I can't reach the top shelf.

I admit to being a bit weirded out by a guy who is shorter than I am but that's because I'm so used to being the shortest person in a room.

Hey Finns mom long time no see.great you are still here.

I have always liked tall men to, married to a 6 ft 1 However I was once engaged to a 5ft 3inch guy,just imagine how short our kids would have been,oh well I got the averages.

Yeah I don't mind being short ,my sister is 5 6. but I'm ok with being the little one like my mum.

Aren't they? It is so fun to see how they play out! Spotting the "Smith hands" on the newest baby cousin in the family (Ma was a Smith) made me grin! And I bet your son will be jealous that Clara doesn't need as much sunscreen as he does, when he's old enough to notice such things!

I'm just about 6' and my boyfriend is 6'7 :/ So I would say 5'8 is short

Gee, I would feel short around you two! It so depends on what one is used to, I guess!

[carole]

It really depends what country you are from,in NZ the average height for a male is 5ft 8 to 5 ft 9 so I certainly wouldn't see that as being short.

For example it's only 5 ft 7 in Thailand and Bolivia 5ft 3 and Croatia is 5ft 11 and amazingly in Montenegro it is 6 ft the average.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I'm 4 ft 9 inches. Everyone over that seems tall to me!!! (I might even be shorter now. I was 4 ft 11 in high school!!! I seem to be disappearing!!! )

[RICHARD]

The runts in my family were all inder 5 foot 9.

My mom was 4' 11", my dad was 5/9.

When I graduated from high school I was about 5/8.........

I like being tall, but it sucks riding around in some cars.

I hate clothes shopping because I am in the 'extra' sizes, I pay more for my clothes - if I want to find dress clothes?
I have to shop via catalog.

I have a problem with pants - I have to wear them like a plumber. If I pull them up?

The undercarriage get strangled.

This past year I bought a pair of Grandpa Jeans and while they fit and are way more comfortable?

They have a zipper on the fly.....I hadn't owned a pair of jeans with a zipper since I was in junior high?
