I'm glad I'm not a tall girl, I would feel really weird dating a guy shorter than me. I'm 5'2, and have dated guys up to 6'7, usually around 5'10-6'0 is best though.

What is an achondroplastic dwarf...just like a tiny regular shaped person?

No, achondroplasia is when people have disproportionately short arms and legs. It's hereditary and isn't really treatable. Proportionate dwarfism is where someone has correct proportions but is small (under 58 inches). It is typically hormonal in nature, so it is often treatable when it's identified in children.

I'd say you'd generally find less prejudice with regards to a woman's height than you would her weight, as the former is typically not under her control, while the latter, for the most part, is. That is, she can't help being short or tall, but she can help herself to that second slice of cheesecake.

But then again, this is ATOT, and some of those posts to the weight thread were just so stupid. So of these guys are so narrow minded, you wonder how they can keep their glasses on their faces.

I prefer women shorter than me (I'm 5'9") but I won't automatically exclude any woman based solely on her height.

I dated a 5' 10" woman last year. It was ackward at times but I got over it.
