I'm very short. JUST under 5" (by about 1mm) so I do get really fed up of being looked down on. Not physically because thats frankly inevitable, but people do seem to think, even subconciously that me being short makes me a bit thick. I was once awarded a Science award in my school, and the guy behind said to his mate "She much be getting the "special" award for effort, look how little she is!"
Rage ensued. Its not very fair, its not very logical, especially since I'm fairly well known as being a bit clever, but it happens.
Oh, and I'm in no way adorable. I wouldn't mind if nobody else made such a huge deal of it, but since many people are quick to comment on my size it does make me a bit mad, yes.

yep, and pepole who know how to fight generally don't try to pick fights, so it is a very good deterrent some times, but sometimes pepole pick fights with you if you are tall, 6 foot and up, because they want to prove that they could take you. I don't know about you but i am generally a happy go lucky guy, and because of that and my size, i have had pepole pick fights with me on a number of occasions.Bibliotekaren said:
It isn't that big a deal. I'm tall, I've always been tall, and I just don't see why people care about it.
I like being tall, I'm 6'3" and i love it, it also helps because i like a girl that's shorter than me, but if i was say: 5'5", i'd have a relatively hard time finding a girl that's shorter than me. Plus...short girls are just cuter...i'm not sure why, they just are.
I'm 6'2", and I don't really notice it, unless one of my co-workers is asking me for something on the top shelf.
Mostly, it's because I've gotten used to it, considering I reached this height as a freshman in high school, and was 5'11" in 6th grade; back then, I really felt more of an outcast for it, and it really made me feel better when there was someone else as tall or taller, so I didn't feel really obvious.

I remember times when people liked other people because of their personality, not their height.
I'm pertty tall myself, but it's really not important.

I find the title and proposed question to be funny. Unintentional pun?
As to answer the question, I find height to be a useless matter. I'm 5'10-5'11, very average. My friend, Jake, is 6'5. Though he is bigger, people tend to find me more intimidating, and to have more of a presence in the room.
PS. I can also kick Jake's ass.
