    Shorter than me (that’s just a preference since I’m 5’5)

    if a man had all the qualities you liked, but he was shorter than you - you'd turn him down?

    Yes I would turn him down. I am 5 feet. I dont want to date a midget. My kids have to have a chance in life. I only date men 6 feet and taller.

    I am also 5 ft. (+ 1/2 inch!) -- so probably 99% of the male population is taller than me, so I'm not as particular as some re: height. You're five ft. and will only date men 6 ft. and taller? That's sure dismissing a whole bunch of men who could have wonderful qualities . . . just sayin'!

    I know. But, my preferences are no different than men who will only date blondes, big busted, or skinny women.

    Good point.

    I'm 5'9", if I hadn't been willing to date shorter than me my options would have been greatly reduced. There aren't really that many guys willing to date a taller woman though. IME a lot of men who are less than 6' like to say they're an inch or two taller than they really are and it's difficult to keep up the pretence of being 5'11" when we're eye to eye.

    SO is 6'9" however. And wishes I was a bit taller.

    I like to think I am ridiculously funny, but I have a fairly dry and sarcastic sense of humor. If someone doesn't get my jokes, I am instantly turned off. That could just mean I need to work on my material. 😅

    I seriously don’t get the height thing. Some of the funniest cool men I know are short.

    Kind eyes and smile
    How you hold yourself at public functions
    How you know how to make me feel safe when I don’t
    And a nice *kitten* don’t hurt

    Oh we could totally be besties.

    Can’t give you my heart though.

    I'll take what I can get!

    Does height really matter, just curious I’m 5’8, but I feel I might be missing out on some potential matches.

    In my opinion, height does not matter -- but some folks are very specific and particular about this. And yes, they could be missing out on meeting some spectacular people!

    It matters to some women (I presume you mean in this context) but not to others.

    If we are talking in general I would say women prefer to date men who are taller than them. It's not particularly rational but then attraction is about dem feelz rather than logic.

    I am 5'10".....there are a million reasons a woman wont date me.....height has rarely if ever been the issue.

    Surely, that can't be true! ;)

    I can't say I've ever been attracted to a really short (like 5ft or under for example) man but at the same time if I see things in a person I like, I wouldn't go oh, good looking, smart, funny, carry crap only 5'8 nope, pass!

    I think you're attracted to what you're attracted to initionally, but if you're even attracted I wouldn't then go oh he's cute, but short. Pass.

    Plus I think things about people, when you get to know them, you find more attractive.
