    This is why I wont date fat women either. We can all say that superficial things dont matter, but they do. If they dont care whats in my heart, why should I care what might be in theirs.

    I was with you right up until you proudly proclaimed that you don't care what's going on in the heart.

    There's nothing wrong with having preferences. I prefer a man to be between 5'5" and 5'10". That seems to be the height range that is most comfortable for me. My husband is 5'8.5" and that's just about perfect, but I certainly didn't select him because of his perfect height!

    5' 10" is minimum height requirement for me. 6' 2" is perfect.

    About 5'10"--6'1" is great assuming he has all the other attributes I look for in a man.

    I'm 5'9" myself and I like to wear heels, so I like guys that are taller than me because if I'm the same height/taller, I tend to feel big and a bit awkward. However, if I liked someone, I wouldn't not date them because of their height - it's just a preference.

    Attractiveness: I like tall men. Tall, muscular, dark hair, and nice face. That's what makes me take notice.

    After the initial attraction, confidence is incredible important. I have dated men my height (5'4 all the way to 6'2") and they were all very confident in themselves.

    here's the thing. I like a man who I can feel safe with. Now, a man my height and frame, maybe, but i feel safer with men who are taller than me just because of that protectiveness they can provide with you tucking your head under their chin and their arms wrapping around you. Got to be taller.

    Kinda hard to find a guy shorter than me. I am 5'2. I would have to go with "Little People", and as I understand it, they are a very small percentage of the population.

    Besides, I like tall men.:flowerforyou:

    I find tall men super sexy but the most sexy thing is what happens on the inside of a person.

    I think for the most part it really is of little concern.
    I have dated anywhere from 5' 6" to 6' 5" . Just as I've dated skinny and fat.
    Height doesn't matter to me much. Though I prefer if they were at least an inch or two taller than me. Only because I'm really short. (5' 2" )
    And not ever woman feels that way. I knew a lady at work who only dated guys significantly shorter than herself. Her excuse was she found short guy attractive :)

    I just like him taller than me, which isn't hard to do since I'm 5'3.

    My husband is 5'9" and did just fine with the ladies before me. I'm 5'5", so taller than me is my preference. I don't have much dating experience (married my high school boyfriend), so I've never dated a guy that was shorter than me, but I know plenty of women that have. Asking women if height matters is like asking women what color eyes is best - you're going to get a wide range of responses. We're not all the same, ya know.

    I've noticed over a long period of time, it's very unusual to see a woman in public with a guy shorter than she is. If she's 6'1", her male companion will almost always be at least 6'2". In my informal surveys, it seems to be more important to women than men that he be taller.
