Pssst... not really As i heard its better to keep title shorter than 70 characters and for meta description its better to keep it shorter 2 lines. But there is not any must about the length of title or meta description. I'd go with about 67 for title and 155 for description. It varies. Don't panic if your a bit long or a bit short, in fact a longer description adds "..." which can encourage more reading.

Simple proof: look at your GWT account, where Google warns you about duplicate content in your description meta-tag. Moreover, he shows your snippet in SERP forming it from your description. 125 for title and
255 for description
just an opinion ! I always try to keep titles to less than 90 and descriptions to less than 200 characters. for everybody shouting random numbers, can you please explain where your numbers come from?

Moreover, you should write title and description for the users but with the search engines in mind. They should be appealing and make people want to click on your listings.
Another reason why you want to have keywords in title attribute and description tag is that they will be bolded in the search and make your listing look more relevant.

The best way to determine length is to write it and see if it gets cut off in the SERPs. As a rule of thumb, between 60 to 70 characters for the title (
