    It doesn't matter as much as guys think it does. I'm a bit over 5'7", and I like to wear heels and wedges, so I'm considered taller than the average female. Of course I would prefer a guy taller than me. But personality, body, and face are much more important, and no one is perfect. :D

    It always seems to go like this.. "So josh, how tall are you. Me: I'm 6'4". " mmmmm wow" and then through reading words typed I a screen I can see a phone, mouse, keyboard something fall on the floor... Lmao jk

    Same height or taller is preferred but that because it's a survival instinct isn't it. You would feel safer with a bigger person than a small one.

    I def have a "type" and he is tall... I'm 5'1" and I like guys around 6' or more - sorry tall ladies for taking your men ;)

    But also - strong jaw line, light eyes (blue or green), and all the "other" stuff - personality, values, morals, etc.

    Found my prince charming <3

    I'm over 5'11'' by a little bit, so pretty tall.
    My boyfriend is 5'7''.
    I've dated as short as 5'4'' for a man,.

    Height is literally the last thing I careabout in terms of physical attraction.

    My husband is the same height as me, 5'5" . It doesn't matter to me, but I am glad that our 13 year old son is already taller than us, just because I know it does matter to some people.

    It doesn't matter to me at all, although I'd probably prefer someone who isn't TOO tall. I'm 5'5" though so I guess unless we're talking giants, it doesn't matter that much.

    I also don't wear heels, maybe short ones occasionally but it's not my thing.

    I wanted tall children so height came into play in my decision.

    I don't think short women have this issue, I am 5' 2" and I never did, but my husband is 6 ft.

    It's been studied and validated that taller guys tend to get further in life as a group.
    And that applies to success with the ladies as well.
    Either resolve to be the exception that proves the rule...or SUCK IT UP!

    Height is something most of us have considerably less control over than, for example, weight; we're often told that judging a potential partner based on their weight is shallow.

    So, how important is a guy's height?


    First I hate this new board because I can't tell if I'm quoting a necro'd thread but this "oh we can't have a preference" junk bugs me. We're often told this?? By whom? And why do you care?

    I don't like overly tall guys. Yuck. I'm small, and I don't want someone towering over me all the time. 5' 8" - 5' 11" is perfect for me. I like wearing heels, so it's nice when they're that tall.

    Am I going to completely dismiss a great guy because he's too tall or too short? of course not. But he's not catching my eye. I like what I like. If someone finds that shallow, I find them to be judgmental and creepy.

    I love tall men. It's just something I like... but it's not a deal breaker... I'd like him taller than me. (I'm 5'6")

    I have dated the gamut (5'5 to 6'4). I am 5'7 and without the heels. My preferable height is between 5'11 and 6'2.
