    I'm only 5'11" and have dated several women taller than myself (one was 6'3"). It has never seemed to be an issue.

    I think girls just like to feel small. That is, in comparison to a man. But I don't think it defines a man's attractiveness. Don't worry about whoever said that.

    Please do not lump all women together. I know I have liked men that were tall and some that were the same height as me. To be honest, I have dated a man shorter than me - he was 5 feet and I am 5'3. If the man is smart and a "true" gentleman...then I really don't care about color or height or anything else. But that is me.

    Its probally more of a personal preferance. I'm 5'3" as long as the guy isn't shorter than me, I'm good. My husband is only 5'4".

    It really depends on the woman. I've dated tall and short. My preference is sexy and smart.

    Why are big firm boobies so attractive to men?

    I've always been a big girl, plus I'm 5'7", so being with a tall guy makes me feel smaller :)

    Um, I don't want to feel like this big, butch amazon. My husband's not that much taller than me--probably about 3-4 inches but it's just enough. I once dated a guy many, many, many years ago that only weighed about 10lbs more than I did at the time--and I was skinny. Would not do that again. Height--not necessarily a deal-breaker for me. Weight--yes.

    It isn't, that's a myth. It's actually defined by his "length."
    Which is why women say I'm hideous.

    Because I am 5'7 and in 6in heels I tower over a guy under 6ft tall. All of my serious long-term relationships have been with guys 6ft+.

    This is exactly me. Taller somehow makes me feel smaller I guess... Its sexy when I can fit into that little nook on his chest and in his arms.

    Personally, I just prefer my man be taller than ME, which is pretty easy as I am 5'7".

    I don't feel a man's attractiveness is defined by height, attractive to me is a man who is intelligent, confident, compassionate, has ambition , attractive on more than just a physical level. I understand everyone is attracted to something different, so looks may play a role in that, but id go for a good personality over a looker any day......... Unless your Channing Tatum. Haha.

    Coz women are genetically programmed to go for taller guys - they're the smarter choice for natural selection :wink:

    i don't think height makes a man more attractive, but more desirable to me (i'm 5'10")

    but i will say that dating shorter men gives me flashbacks to when i was babysitting brothers and one of them was ALWAYS grabbing my goodies!

    I am only 5'1 so I like a taller man the one I have now is 5'11 but it does not take much to meet someone who is taller then me.. lol but it is not a total deal breaker as long as he has a good personality.

    I know a lot of tall, dark and/or pasty, and ugly if it makes you feel better.
    My husband towers over me at 6'3" but I chalk that up to my Napolean Complex... not his attractiveness based on height.

    As a woman who is 5'10", I can tell you that it is hard to feel feminine when you are taller than the average male. There is something very sexy about feeling small and feminine next to a man. Short girls CANNOT understand this. They have always felt this way.

    I am 5'7'' and I feel the same way!!

    Don't worry! Eventually you will find a girl who doesn't look at height. I did forever because I was embarrassed of my own height (I am 5' 10.5") and have always felt extremely awkward and self conscious about it. Finally I found my husband who is almost 3" shorter than I am. I love his personality and find him incredibly attractive, short and all. Good luck to you!!

    I'm 5'9", and I like to wear heels. A lot (not all), but a lot of guys, are intimidated by tall women. I wear flats for no man :wink:

    Don't generalize! It might matter to some, but not others. Personally, I have no height pre-requisite when I consider if someone is dating material...that is one of the least important things to me. I'm 5'8, my boyfriend is 5'6. Doesn't matter one bit.

    I'm a 5'9 male who I think is fairly attractive but was told that I would be much more attractive if I was only 6 ft tall. Ladies, why is a man's attractiveness defined by his height? Why is height soooo important to women

    It isn't I like guys that aren't too tall. I'm 5'8" and my husband is maybe 5'8.5" I think shorter 5'7"-5'10" and muscular is the sexiest.

    I'm Taller than my husband. He had many other things that made him very attractive to me. but, I will admit I would not have thought I would have fallen for someone shorter then me. I guess when the chemistry is there, it's there! I also think there is social pressure for the guy to be taller. We had a customer at our shop laugh while saying, "you married, he short, you tall woman." Guess we should have joined the circus! :laugh:

    I love tall men, I always have. I think for me the height makes me feel more secure. I'm 5'4 and I don't really feel as safe and secure w/ a man my height. I don't want a giant man, but I like them about 5'11" to 6'3 is good for me.........

    Makes me feel safe. The taller the better but as long as they are not shorter than me I wouldn't discount them completely!

    I'm tall (5 11) but find shorter guys attractive. Would I want to do the nekkid dance with them.... No. *ducks*. I think there's some primal thing about them being bigger/stronger/protective responsible for that. I'd make an exception if you were close but too more than a few inches is too much. (that's what she said)

    I couldn't tell you why, because I don't think its true at all. The first guy I was very serious with was 6'8, I dated another guy who was 6'4 but I married the guy who is 5'7. I'm 5'3. I've never once thought, "oh, my husband would be so much hotter if he was another 5 or 9 or 13 inches taller!" We look fine together, our house is not a disaster where I am too short to reach anything and he's going to constantly be worrying about head clearance.

    I think 3 inches of height is beyond abitrary. I think you're talking to sad superficial people.

    Because it makes women feel more feminine and protected. I think..... :S

    I'm only 5'2" & so even smaller guys still stands taller than me. My boyfriend is only about less than 2" taller than me & my past relationships, I was with guys taller than him but my current boyfriend is the most attractive guy that I ever met in my life & I'm not just saying this out of love for him.

    i wear 6 inch heels on an almost daily basis and it makes my husband and I the same height, I may even be a tiny bit taller I am 1/4 inch shy of 5 '7. I just like tall men, I dated a few shorter men and it made me feel HUGE. If I hadnt been overweight it may not have been such an issue for me.
