Would the hight of a man be a dealbreaker for you?

I could not disagree more. Making a decision because of your assessment of how others would regard you is equally personal. And I think much of the avoidance of heavy women is brought about for the same reason.

The breast thing I don't get, because heavier women tend to have very large breasts.

When someone tells you who she is, listen; when someone shows you who she is, listen carefully.

How is it equally personal when both parties are part of the "problem." In the height scenario, the man is too short and the woman is too tall. They contribute equally to the situation. In the breast size situation, the woman just flat out (no pun intended) has the wrong size breasts for a particular man's taste. If I don't want to date a man who is shorter than I am, I have an issue too, I'm too tall !

Oh dear.

Fat, thin, big boobs, little boobs, big butt, little butt, tall, short, long hair, short hair, dark, pale, brown eyes, blue eyes, green eyes, amber eyes, hairy, smooth, muscular, not so muscular, blonde, brunette, redhead, bald, young, old…

Have we about covered it?

Everyone finds some things attractive, and some not. And no one completely agrees with anyone else. And we haven’t even mentioned how personality and familiarity plays in to the perception. (Though to be fair, some posters have mentioned that – and I personally think that plays a much larger role).

Yes, some people have tastes similar to yours. Some people have other tastes.

And yes, sometimes other’s tastes, being different, will seem “wrong” – but they are not. It’s just what they like. You don’t have to live as them.

I don't think many people have an accurate idea of their height

my sister has on her driver's license that she's 5'7" and has believed that she was, for decades, despite knowing she's about an inch shorter than me.

I am 5'6". I have been, since I was 14. Apparently when I was younger though, I used to look like I was 5'8". At least, according to my sister.

No. I've had them tall, I've had them short. Short intrigues me.

I've had my share of height prejudices, but I have to say that I had a first date with a 5'8" guy tonight, I'm 5'7", and it just wasn't a factor. I thought it might be, but so far it's not.

I really enjoyed myself, and I hope to see him again.
