Well one, I didn't start this topic. I just relayed a story from college. I wasn't even the one who made the joke, the short female friend of mine made it, so I think your argument is with her. Also, not that it really matters, but I'm 6'1" so you were wrong again. Attempted shots like that, failing or not, make you seem combative. Hope your day gets better. |
Renaissance art depict "full figured" women, though. |
Except that these full figured athletic women are actually “slim” BMI by modern standards. They all have long necks and legs, not short/fat. https://artsandculture.google.com/asset/venus-of-urbino/bQGS8pnP5vr2Jg?utm_source=google&utm_medium=kp&hl=en&avm=2 |
I think they’d rather be 5’ than 6’ if those were the only two choices. But most of the women I know under 5’6” or so wish they were a little taller, myself included. I’m 5’3” and would love a few more inches. But if I had to choose between really tall or really short, I’d probably have to go with the latter. |
And one more which is a widely accepted standard of proportion and beauty. It’s a 22BMI woman (at best).

Monroe had 25 inch middle section and BB tits. |
Really? How old are the women you are asking this question? Maybe 16 year olds would choose 5 feet. A woman that short really struggles with weight and looking dumpy and if it doesn't come for them by their 20s, it gets them the rest of their adult life. No thanks I'd be 6 feet every day. I am 50. |
My DH is 6'5" and I'm above average in height at 5'8". But I'm not super tall. I think average for women is 5'6"?
He dated plenty of women before me all over the height spectrum. |
Except that OP is barely shorter than average. But okay. 🙄 |
If you look at growth charts, 50 percent of people are packed in around 3 inches (between 5-3 and 5-6). There isn't that much variation in height really. So yes, to a 5-2 woman, almost all men are taller than her and about 80 percent of women are taller than her. That's a hell of a lot of people. |
My 49 year old friend is 6 feet tall and girls/women have screamed when they’ve seen her in the bathroom. She’s actually had security called on her twice this year, because of the whole trans panic nonsense. It really hurts her feelings. She’s also 220 pounds, which is not that much more overweight than I am at 5’3” and 155 pounds but people aren’t staring and pointing at me like they do to her. I’m struggling with my weight right now and definitely feeling dumpy, but she’s been struggling a lot more. It’s true that taller women can pull of weight gain better, but only to a point, and I think in general it’s also harder for really tall women pull off being less than beautiful. |
Women in the Renaissance period were short. One can be tall and fat, as they can be short and fat. We aren't talking about fat; we are talking about height. |
You're really stupid |
I'm a very short woman married to a tall man, but I have definitely seen tall women with tall men. OP needs to get out more. |
Wow!! I am 6 feet tall at 51 years old and I'm 150lbs. Not a single day in my life has anyone screamed in horror when they've seen me. But I'll keep looking forward to it. However, 220lbs is a lot for a person who is 6 feet tall. |
This thread is such a laugh |
