Do women over 6'0" and men under 5'6" have complexes based on extreme tallness and extreme shortness? Is America prejudiced over size???

I'm 5'11. I don't think I have a complex based on my height, but you would not BELIEVE some of the rude things that total strangers have said to me. I can't even begin to list them all here, but they range from the "well meaning" lady at church who told me that I shouldn't wear heels or I would scare men away to the drunk at a bar a few years ago who thought I was MAN!!!! So, yes, I think America does have a size prejudice. Unless you are "just right" there will always be someone to try to tear you down or tell you how you could be better. **** 'em. That's what I say.

I am 5'41/2 and my husband is 5'4". You may think a half inch difference wouldn't qualify for this question but when I put on my 6 inch heels. I tower him and every one gets a kick out of it when we dance I have to wear tennis shoes, western boots or sandles. you be the judge. It does give us both a complex when I stand taller then him even though it is just shoes. My step sister is 4'8" and I feel like a giant up side her. She feels like a mushroom up side me. Her husband is right around 6' doesn't seem to bother him. We all call them Mutt and Jeff.

I'm 4' 9" (a midget) and I hate my height. I wish I could be taller. I've considered limb-lengthening surgery; but seeing how painful it is (you have to have pins stuck through your flesh into your bone) and how long it takes, maybe I'd wait for some breakthrough-technology supplement to come out.
To all of you who are 5" 7' or taller, be happy for your height! Even if you're too tall! If you think that you're too tall, then, would you rather be your height, or as short as me?
