And it was a few days after I posted that comment that I regretted it. I realized that my feelings were unhealthy and unwarranted. I guess you could say I had somewhat of an "epiphany" as a result of that thread.
This is why I come here and post. I learn as much about myself as I do about other people. And while 99.9% of the time my convictions remain the same (and people don't change my mind), there have been one or two iinstances where I've really discovered things about myself that have helped me to change my attitude. And this is why I allow myself to be subjected to ridicule and bashing....because there's always that chance somebody will say something that will enlighten me.
And I hope to do the same for others.
I don't see men jumping up and down in the 'ideal height of a man' thread...
If you're talking about objectification, it's happening to both sexes these days. What about all that talk about how large a man's penis is, and the women who degrade men with small members? I hope you don't think that's excusable either...
I'm 6'1" and LOVE my height! I wouldn't mind being taller, like 6'2"-6'3" (I guess that's why I wear 4" heels all the time.) The only sucky part about being tall is trying to find clothes that fit (it doesn't help that I have other assets that make it even more difficult). Meeting men at my height was never an issue. (Except in jr high and HS, but I believe that worked to my advantage.)
My husband is most definitely an alpha male and he's 5'10". I think there's a big difference between a "macho man" and an "alpha male". Macho men care what others think of them...my husband doesn't care. I'd even go as far as to say that most alpha men are somewhat reserved (but not shy.) But I'm digressing on a totally different topic!
I just went shoe shopping the other day and all the hottest styles are 4 inches and above- so you are definitely in luck. I'm just under 6ft and while I love my height wearing heels is both a blessing and a curse to me. I just wish I had the guts to wear the stilettos I admire on everyone else.
When I was younger it didn't bother me to be so much taller, but these days I stick to 3.5 inch heels which are much harder to find to me.
A study done in 2002 showed that among top editorial fashion agencies in Los Angeles and New York, 81% of their “editorial fashion” models were 5’9” and above; 15% were between 5’8” and 5’9”, and only 4% were below 5’8” tall.
So 81% of models are 5'9" and above yet ~66% the votes here want someone beneath that height... I like those odds for those of us who like taller women
I'm 6'0.25 and i think height is a necessity though shortness is not a taboo. Height makes you seem above your equals and if u are not thin cos it sucks to see a very tall thin lady. Just be plumpy and have a control on yourself don't let your height take over you be normal learn to dance and try not to be over weight. You'll see how unbelievingly sexy you are.
I'm around 5'9-5'10 or so. I generally like shorter girls but not too short as in like 5'0 I voted 5'2-5'4 but I'd probably say my ideal range is from 5'2-5'7.
