I think I have, and I have a feeling I may not be the only LLer that has. Guys from around my height to average height, I consider equals. But with super short guys--like 5'1 to 5'3 (155 to 160) I notice that my first instinct is to not take them seriously, and I have to make a conscious effort to give them time to speak, listen to what they say, etc. I hope that men don't naturally do that with any men that are noticeably shorter than them, but rather ones that are objectively extremely short...otherwise, if I become 5'10, people who are 6'2 will still take me like a joke. Average height can't be that bad, can it? Men who are in the 95th percentile for height can't consider only 5% of the population to be "real men" compared to them.
Although I might have a natural bias against super short men, I know much better than to worship tall men. Whenever I see a substantially tall guy at my job in a managerial position in fact, I think to myself "did he get there because of his merit, or his height?" I never assume that tall guys are stronger, smarter, or better people...they have to prove themselves just like everyone else. However, I do like girls slightly on the tall side - 5'5 to 5'8--because they ironically seem more receptive to me than short girls.
What about you guys?
