    As a general rule, no. I prefer my men tall, but if the guy is a good person I'd consider it. I always dated guys based on their personality rather than their looks. I'm only 5'3", so the majority of men are taller than I am :)

    No! I know it really shallow but for me it's the taller the better, 6 foot plus preferably.

    I'm 5'11'' and my husband is 5'7''. Honestly, I forget how short he is. I always thought I'd marry a tall guy - didn't want to feel like a giant next to hubs...but turns out, I don't. And he encourages me to wear high heels - he thinks it's hot, and it doesn't intimidate him at all. I don't know...maybe it's just my husband, but even though he's 4 inches shorter than I am, we can be dancing or cuddling and I've never felt my height around him.

    I say, you see a tall girl that you are attracted to, go for it. If she rejects you because you're short...that's her problem for overlooking a large population of perfectly suitable men.

    Same here. I'm almost half a head taller, but I never notice it when we cuddle or kiss. Our height difference has never been a problem for either of us.
    We've been together for over 14 years now and have a beautiful daughter. He's a great father and wonderful husband. I'd hate to have missed out on such a wonderful man just because of his height, thank god I'm not that shallow.

    OP, don't give up on taller women, we aren't all as silly to reject a man on a minor issue like that :wink:

    I am 5'6" and my ex was 5'4". It didn't bother me at the time but looking back at pics, I was always slouching.

    Reminds me of a saying.

    yes, I would. But not if it was more than 2 or 3 inches. I would feel really awkward if I ever had to wear heels.

    I'm 5'4 so it is not too often that I meet guys shorter than myself but I don't think I would rule someone out because they were shorter. I would if they were too tall though. Too tall and it is awkward to kiss and hold hands. So yeah, I think 5'6 to 5'11 is my ideal range really if I ever get back into the dating game.

    No, I wouldn't, but I am 5'3. I think only 8 year olds are shorter than me, and I'm not going there.

    All depends on the guy. I dated a marine who was 5'5,I am 5'10,he oozed sexy and didn't care he couldn't put his arm around my shoulders ,He put them around my waist and pull me in. He did request I not wear heels. Another guy 5'7 was aways trying to make me shorter and would get mad that I wanted to stand up straight.Then again I 've had several guys 5'10-6' tell me I was perfect but too tall.I had one tell me women shouldn't be taller than 5'6 lol.

    I'm 5'10... if I refused to date men shorter then me I'd be screwing myself over. haha.

    Sometimes shorter men can be attractive to me, sometimes they're not. I assume this must mean I'm attracted to something other then their height.

    Ideally I'd like a guy taller then me... just because I feel more delicate around taller men. Silly, I know, but I like feeling smaller now and then and because of my height, no matter how thin I am, I always feel huge.

    I'm 5'9 and I have been taller than most of the men I've dated but it doesn't bug me. It's something I've just learned to accept since I am tall.

    I'm 5'7" and my bf is 5'5". :love:
    The heart of a man is so much more important to me than his height.

    No...but that's because I'm five foot two and it's unlikely I would find a guy shorter than me. Besides, I find tall, bulky men very sexy.

    I have dated men from 5'2" to 6'5". I am 5'4" and to be honest, I prefer shorter guys because they are easier to kiss. However, there are ways to get around that! :wink: To be honest, confidence wins every time!
