I love how supporters of beauty contests try to stress the point that they not just judge on looks anymore, but "judge" a person's intelligence, ability to speak in public, etc..
But we all know that's a crock - it's all based on looks and although this organization has the right to discriminate someone based on height because pageantries are privately funded, it does quite a job at making too many people feel inadequate in the looks department. And when you have 2 people (one in particular who is claiming the charges) fighting over an otherwise insignificant title such as this one, the basis that a person is "too short" to wear a crown is just ludicrous.
The judges cast their votes, the popularity contest was won, and the jealous women should shut up about it. Those that don't and depend on malicious speculations on a person's height shouldn't have bothered competing in the first place. They knew the nature of the game, then again they probably weren't judged according to the brain in their skull either.

Well, I'm almost 5'10", so I guess I should move to France and I'd win a beauty pageant.

lol! You know, they have a pageant that beautifies all that is... horizontally tall.
I'm not making this up. I think it's the Miss Elephant Pageant or something like that, in Thailand - and the people love it! It also gives the women in the pageant an opportunity to to strut their stuff and be proud of who they are on the outside. I kind of think it's cool actually, as far as beauty pageants go (and I really don't care for them as a whole) In a world where so much emphasis is put on being tall and slender, people overlook that beautiful women come in all sizes.

true.
Gina, you and I are the same height it sounds like!
My original anal-retentive point was that vertically tall is redudant
. Tall refers to height already, so vertically isn't needed.
And following that line, horizontally tall just doesn't make any sense.
Yikes, and I wasn't even an English major. Boredom can do weird things to you...

And if height were the main factor in determining beauty, then I'd be friggin gorgeous!

Yeah, I was actually looking for another word when I wrote it. I think I had "vertically challenged" in my head and somehow spit it out wrong.
*bonks self on head*
Diemen, I thought you were friggin' gorgeous.

I don't know about most guys, but height really doesn't matter to me. I'm exactly 6 feet tall, and I dated a girl who was 2 inches taller than me, and that was just fine. I could just as easily see myself dating someone who is 5 foot something. Of course, it would be hard on the back having to stoop over to kiss all the time.
Yeah, those pageants are pretty silly. What about someone who is over 7 feet? Are they too tall to be beautiful??

I dated a guy who was 6'8". It was awkward, standing on stairs just to kiss him 'night. With me being short and him being really really tall, people kind of went "wtf" whenever we walked by hand in hand. *giggle*
I have a super soft spot for tall men even though I've never been picky about certain physicalities. It just happened that every man I ever dated was tall, 5'11 or over. Blonde, brunette - didn't matter. Never dated a redheaded guy though. Hmm. But that tallness factor. Oh my, there was something about being with a tall guy that made me feel secure I guess, with me being so short. lol
My husband is nice and tall and I love it. I don't know, I'm just rambling somewhat, but I think men are gorgeous. It don't matter what size they are really, or what color hair they have or any of that. It feels good to be a girl sometimes.
Now I've done it. Gone off on a tangent.

In my experience:
Short guys go for short girls.
Tall guys also go for short girls.
The very few tall guys who go for tall girls such as myself are extremely fickle and lose interest reeeeeeaaaaaaaallllllly soon. Presumably this isn't related to height, but it's "interesting" anyway.
Due to recent experience--actually, all my experience--I'm feeling just a little sarcastic about this right now.
