My younger sister is kinda tall ... 5'11. She always said "I have to have a guy taller than me." Her soon to be fiance is 5'8. She wouldn't trade him in for a taller guy for anything. He also said that his future wife had to be shorter than him... think he cares about that anymore? Nahhhh. In my opinion people just state their preferences until someone comes along and changes it. I wouldn't worry about it...... Most preferences are changeable.
Once you have found that special one that you love there is no such thing as preferences any more.

What is the most attractive thing one can see in a person but the Love of Elohim?

My mom married my step dad who was a lot shorter than her, and she is short, and she married in heels, was about 5 inches above him. What makes a good self confident character, is that a man knows where he stands, he's not a whimp in God's eyes, and the women from the LOrd should look up, to him no matter what, no I said a joke about I'd rather be single and wear heels than to be with a man who's slightly shorter, that's why jk means just kidding. :) To me height, and age just should not matter, Love is real. :)
Physical attributes become irrelevant when love becomes real. I loved what you said about looking up to 'him' regardless of his height. Your joke about the heels was amusing.

It's important to be tall, bearded, geeky and modest. It's important to be Tintin.

(I'm 6'5).
I had always thought that you would make a good armrest Tintin.
I am 6'6" barefoot ;)

I am a 5'2" female and my friends were always surprised when I would say my height as they all thought I was much taller than that. What was it that made them think that? Attitude....I talked confident and made decisions promptly got things done and they all thought I was taller than I really am and no it wasn't because I had heels on all the time.

I think the same goes for a man. One that has a strong relationship with the Lord will be walking tall even if he is not. He will have confidence and a good self image and have that faith and trust in God making a complete package. I look at the heart and the inner beauty of a guy, I like gentle, kind, strong, and knowing that he does put God first is a big thing for me. I didn't do that the first time around at the grand age of 17 and after the divorce at 24 I determined in my heart I would never go through a divorce again even if it meant never remarrying and 35 years passed because I wanted what I described above.

When I found these attributes in tourist even before we met it would not mattered to me if he was short, tall, fat, thin, bald or had hair, good looking or not. I fell in love with his heart and personality first before ever laying eyes on him. He did post a few pictures a while after he had been on the site so I had a clue a little later, but He is a very handsome man to me because I know he loves the Lord and will make an exceptional husband one that I am most willing to submit to and this is a first for me especially after having to be mother and father to raise my daughter alone and making all the decisions for all of those years. I am happy to turn over that power that I never wanted in the first place and let someone else make the major decisions for the next phase of my life. Yay!!!

You have deep inner and outer beauty, you love the Lord with all of your heart, and you will make an exceptional wife. You are already my best friend.

I agree with that. Outside changes, but those who don't change the heart are vert difficult to approach and befriend. Some people think about things that occured 20 years ago, bringing condemnation in the place where Jesus sits at the foot of the bed in prayer for many years. Religious guys, I will pass on, they are more corrupt than those who need Jesus, as they are very proud, and arrogant, which is not in align with the word of God. A story of a guy who didn't want to go into this christian girls home and her family because of her past, and told her get rid of all your furniture, bed, and carpets, etc. she said, your not of a right mind in Christ. all these years I have prayed , to my savior, the guy was found out to have serious mental issues, and was homosexual, and was only a church goer and not born again believe. True story, it happened in a church. The girl was on disability due to her back, and he wanted her to throw the bed away, and sleep on a hard floor, this guy has no love, no respect, and no Jesus.

Ty Tourist, but there r some crackers I've met, or rather not meet in the church, as I don't go to secular places. I anoint everything the Lord has given me, and it just shows that love in not real if it is not from God, his agape love, when the blood of Jesus is applied to my home, food, water, everything, appliances, etc. it becomes a foul smell to the enemy. He detests the power of the blood of our savior. Thanks for the nice compliment. amem.

Women are neat. At 5'2" they are so easy to carry under my arm if they should get tired after a snow skiing trip.
At 5'6" they are so easy to carry over my shoulder if they should get tired while being out on a hike with me. :cool:

As a short man (5'6" without shoes on) I can indeed tell you it does matter. Don't know how many times I've been looked at attractively, then they look and see I'm wearing boots, then get the cold shoulder. Or actually hear them making comments to one another. It hurts...If I were a six- footer my life would have been totally different. But I guess I could make some Gene Simmons boots lol!

I'm pretty sure I could give a piggy back ride to a woman that's taller than me if she required it.

It's all about strength and the proper application of technique.

Now I really want to try this...

He has to be dark, very sweet, and on the quieter side. I prefer them well rounded and layered ( Which usually creates variety). I'm very much attracted to ones with a softer exterior which to compliment the richness found inside.

Oh Chocolate mud cake, you're the only one for me!

Haha! I knew you weren't talking about me when you mentioned that he has to have a quieter side! Everything else applies though. ;)

Did Arlene just call Tintin chocolate mud cake?

Tintin, your name is mud! :p

I know, I know, the troll Tintin thread is next door. But it's having an argument right now so we had to move Tintin trolling to here for a bit.
