    So women can be shallow too.... I dig that... And I come in at a towering 5' 8" ladies.... I also find women taller than me very attractive, does that make me weird? Society says yes.

    We are most definitely shallow. No shame.

    It doesn't really. I think if he's shorter than me it could be a turn off (but not a deal breaker). But my partner is only 5 cms taller than me (2 inches), and I'm fine with that.

    I should point out I'm 5'4, so there aren't many guys who are shorter than me. :)

    I'm 5'8 and once dated a guy who was 5'6. Ultimately broke up for different reasons, but I found out I preferred taller men. Hubby is 6'1 and is the perfect height for me.

    It matters when I need something off the top shelf

    Don't worry... being shallow is a 2 way street, too bad the magazine industry never caught on to the desired body types that men seek in women.

    Personally, I prefer guys around 6'1". A couple inches shorter is fine though.

    All other factors being equal I would choose a tall man over a medium/short man. But in life all the other factors are very rarely equal. I do like being wrapped up in a hug from a man taller than me with strong arms.

    If you're a straight guy under 6 feet tall you may as well just kill yourself now.

    Joking.

    I think the height difference matters more than absolute height. I think a difference greater than 4 inches is a bit awkward, regardless of which partner is the taller one.

    Well... I'm a short gal. Having a tall guy does have it's advantages. The question is: does the guy prefer short gals or gals close to his height? :ohwell:

    As long as he is 5'9 or taller (I am 5'9) then I am ok. It's my own insecurities, not a reflection of the man.

    It never really bothered me until I met my husband, I'm 5"1 he is 6"2 and he is just brilliant for reaching things in high up places :happy:

    i hate to admit it, but it does matter to me. As long as they're taller than me, I'm happy. But I don't think I could be comfortable in relationship with someone shorter than me.

    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?

    i'll be honest... i like tall men... i've never really dated anyone under 6 foot, my husband is 6ft2... i dont think its a deliberate choice, i just seem to find tall men more attractive!
