Ditto from 5'10" woman. Totally get crazy comments myself. Definitely dated guys shorter than me altho my DH is taller than me. Superficial judgments of all sorts are awful. Agreed that folks will prattle on about men's height (not tall enough) or women's (too tall). Also about weight -- too skinny and/or small boobs for a woman? OK for folks to talk about. My DH is balding and he is astonished that it can be party small talk...while someone with wrinkles or gray hair or 20 pounds extra is taboo to talk about. Oh, well...maybe in a nother generation we will stop being alpha-wolves to one another...
