The Tall Club.

I'm 6'1" in bare feet so I wouldn't necessarily call myself tall. But I do remember years ago when I was a grader for AP Exams (Biology at the time I think) one of the guys at my table was a teacher also from Cali who was about 6'6". One day he showed up in a T-shirt that read, "No. Do you play miniature golf?"

I've always been into short chicks too for some reason. :D

Although that's REALLY short. 5'0" to 5'4" is good.

For some reason I always see tall dudes with short chicks. Sean Marks - who played college ball at Cal and is now a bench player in the NBA - is 6'10" and his college girlfriend was barely over 5 feet tall. If I have a choice I like tall women but it really isn't a big deal to me. On the other hand, women have a real stigma about short men. Even really short women. :confused:

I'm 6'1"! Just made it! Six foot one and only 130 pounds.

My band's singer is 5'1" though... makes for odd videos of our band.

Radiohead. Singer Thom Yorke is around 5'4" or 5'5" and guitarist Ed O'Brien is 6'5"
 
Bah. I neglected this club once more. Keep this up, mister, and I'll have you fired...

Also, an interesting question; how much height do you lose during the course of the day? For instance, I'm about 6'4.25" these days when I get out of bed, but when I go to bed I'm between 6'3.5" and 6'3.25".
