[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The tallest man in my extended family is 5'6''. Every one of them is very successful (surgeons, lawyers, professors), happily married, a father, and well-respected. They have friends, money, interests, and overall, very full and meaningful lives. [/b][b]

I'm a woman and 5'4" and, while height is not a deal breaker either way, strongly prefer to date men no taller than 5'10". Ideal is about 5'7"-9" and anything in the 6 foot range is a nuisance. I have dated men as short as 5'2". The shortest men were some of the sexiest and best lovers I've had, for what its worth. It's all about confidence.[/quote]

This describes the males in my family as well.  My sons are 5'6" and 5'5". I believe they are fully grown.  My husband is short, I am short.  Our boys have grown up dealing with it, and have mostly gotten used to it.

I will say one really did well in high school wrestling.  It gave him confidence, and being small helped him get on varsity as a novice freshman.  The wrestling team needs light weights.  Both sons also took weight lifting as a class in high school.  It added some much needed muscle to their small frames.  When they were in middle and elementary school they were often assumed to be younger than their ages, so that bothered them.  But by now they are used to it and have accepted it.
