ROFL, boy does this condure up those on the hunt scenarios both men and women practice these days!
At 5ft. nothin' all the responses here remind me of why I sit on the bar stools...evens the height issue out. It's just experience talkin', but yeah I have found my shortness an issue on the dating scene. If I am standing around etc. it's nada. If I am sitting at near level height at least I might get a "hello" and some flirting, giving the guy the chance to get to know a bit about me, before he realizes I am from the land of the liliputians!
If your legs reach all the way to the ground, you're tall enough. I think short works well on women.
