Kind of - depending on suggested sizing, I tend to go for frames a bit larger than what's recommended for my height. I feel more comfortable being stretched out (and for whatever reason, tend to get sore in my upper back when I'm more upright and/or on a smaller frame.)
This can be a problem on vintage frames, as often it's hard for me to stand over a frame with a long enough top tube. Compact frames tend to work better. Some of the women-specific compact frames are great, so long as the stack isn't crazy high to make it more upright and "comfortable".
