They are preferences- that's all.

So what if you are short or a little chub? Unless you are looking to sleep around, most people get over those things IF you are bringing something to the table.

To some of you it's a deal breaker but does that mean your relationship will not work because the person is short and you like'm tall?


Chime in?

Oh boy, I thought you were talking about size of something else to which my reply would be: Yes, to me size matters.

However, I never cared about a person's height that much.

I have a type that I do like, but ultimately, I rarely end up with someone who fits that description.

So, yeah, it doesn't really matter.

I like someone the same height as me, because then I don't have to adjust the seat every time I get in the car.

My deal breaker is height. I couldn't even consider someone I was taller than when I'm flat-footed. Being a women I would feel insecure with a man shorter than me.

Again, size has more to do with your (the woman's) organ, then your male counterpart. If you like a large behemoth, (of which I have ) this means you're rather large down there yourself. This is a scientific proven fact, yet never discussed in this way, cause its not politically correct. But women who prefer a big size, usually feel like a mayo jar when it comes to intercourse.

The "size" thing has really become nothing more then a way for women to belittle men, no pun intended. but if they did a little research on the topic, they might find some humility in calling themselves, "loose" without even perhaps knowing they are.

Yes. At the end of the day, size matters. And the line, for me, is a fuzzy one.

Height, yes, I prefer tall, over 6ft. But if I happen to meet someone that is, say, only 5'9" (which I consider to be short, even though that is taller than I am) if that person is a great guy, then the height won't matter much. But if the guy is 5'6, then no, that will be a dealbreaker for me.

Weight - again...someone that is fat (and obviously everyone has their own idea of what that means) I simply won't be attracted to. He doesn't have to be buff, or even slim and trim, but a guy that is overweight just doesn't trip my light fantastic.

Yes, it does but it isn't always a deal breaker.

Sure, it can matter and frankly I don't care with one exception....

If you filter off potential partners with a laundry list of deal breakers it's great. I just don't want to hear you whine that you can't find mr. or ms. right.

What happens if a guy is just thinner than you? I dated a girl once who, while not overweight, wasn't skinny either. She was average. One day, we got caught in the rain. When we got back to my place and out of our wet clothes, I let her put on some dry clothes out of my closet. That's when we discovered my pants wouldn't fit her. I told her the pants just came out of the dryer. But on the inside, I was mortified. Again, she wasn't even slightly heavy. But I have a small frame and waist. Things were never the same after that. I think she always felt awkward around me, thinking that she was too big when she really was just fine.
