I'm 5'2". Built like a tank (solid, broad northern Danish/Germanic stature). I quiet people shouting like fools at my job with simple eye contact. I've done it twice in two different jobs. The last time, just last month, my colleague was nearly 6 feet. He was so meek and mild that the guy just not more agitated & aggressive.
I pip up & tell the loser yeah keep at it you'll be out the door... and stare him down. Dead silence cause he knew I wasn't fucking around.
Size isn't power. Weaklings think size equals power. But as the old saying goes, the bigger the are the harder they fall.
Power comes from sheer presence. Self confidence. Someone who is 6'6" with the personality as a mouse would be as powerful as someone 3'4"

It's not important for me, but it seems that most people disagree.
Most people ask for your height, age and profession to label you, put you in boxes and decide how to treat you.. It's sad that people are so judgmental and shallow
At this point in my life I’m secure enough within myself where my perceptions of others
isn’t shaded by expectations and comparisons. Especially someone I’ve already built some
sort of none physical rapport with. That’s not to say I won’t ever be surprised but never
offended or shocked because they’re still the same person I’ve been non physically
dealing with.

Height is your Achilles heel so of course you feel that way. If you were insecure because you lived an impoverished lifestyle, you would have a similar feeling about the relative wealth of others.

It's not important to me. I judge people based off their words and (in) actions. One's physical features doesn't mean shit. The only thing I think of knowing someone's height is whether I'm going to have to bend over/get on my toes to interact with them on an "intimate" level ie one of my friends I have to bend over to hug them, another friend I have to get on my toes so they don't have to bend too much.
Honestly yes. When i found out one dude was 5’6, it made me pause for a sec but i was like, well its close to 5’7 which i prefer so i was like ok it’ll do. But there's this other guy i liked who turned out to be 6’7. That is way past the 6’3 max so yea i eventually lost interest in him. He was too tall and his hand was big enough to cover a waterbottle. Scared me
I'm surprised at the almost-daily questions here about height. I never realized so many people view it as a good or bad thing and not just a common difference between people. Like anyone else, I have a preference too, but it never actually affected my dating habits or choices of partner.
I don’t care about height tbh. As long as you’re a good ass person I could care less lol
For me, that actually does not hold as much weight as other things. Things such as their voice, mannerisms and attitude have greater weight to me
I don't care, height is a meaningless metric to me.
Maybe a little, but it doesn't change how much I like them (if I already liked them)
Definitely changes my opinion and attraction 🤷
I get stereotyped and put in a box just for having a vagina so boohoo to all the short men whining about loss of attraction due to height.Not how I feel about them as a person, but it’s a plus if a potential girlfriend is tall.
No. But if someone is very fit - especially over age 40 I find it impressive. As long as it does look out of proportion like roids
Like a minor part because it helps with imagination
I avoid close contact with short men as I can. They hate me instinctively without a reason. Maybe they hate everyone?
Definitely! I like tall guys and never feel threatened by bigger/taller girls. I see being tall as a masculine trait (and it is).
Yes especially if someone is tall... I feel intimidated by them since I am a short male
I mean sometimes lol becuse I’m 5,3 and I don’t really want a shorter boy

Sure. Her height is part of the attraction factor.
