Taller or shorter opponent

[ripher_apart]

I would rather fight a taller opponent, than a short one. I find the short ones are really tough, but that is my opinion...
What is yours???

I have always found shorter opponents to be more difficult to fight with. For one...being taller, when I reach out to grab them, I usually grab air...lol....they were never where I thought they should be... On the other hand, depending on how short they really are, they may have difficulty applying an effective scissors hold because of having short legs. I had a steady lady opponent a few years back that was only 5'0 but could she scrap! I was usually wore out by the time we got to a final submission.....she was fiesty and just kept on coming at me...it was fun!

I realize that both of you are referring to mixed fighting/wrestling, which I do not care for, but  from a female vs  female perspective, a taller and lighter vs a shorter  and heavier matchup can be very exciting  and intriguing  either from the standpoint of watching or participation.  Each woman has a different advantage over the other, and  therefore each one must use an entirely different strategy to win.  I have fought both, and I find that a shorter, heavier opponent gives me more problems than a taller lighter one

No I meant the question to anyone who really really fights irl.  Whether it be in a karate school or in your basement or a hotel room.  The shorter opponents I fought were always harder to beat than the talll opponents.....
