Not many so many guys I know are shorter than me, but I wouldn't care. Have dated some just about the same height, and can be good fun hugging.

Height is not extremely important in when I am looking for someone. I ususally go for men who are taller than me, but if someone were the same height or a little shorter than me, I don't think it would be a problem. But I have to say that I prefer taller men. There is something that I like about having to get up on my tip toes to kiss my guy..... maybe I'm weird..

personally i dont think height is a issue for me, ive had 5 longterm relationship and 4 of them were over 6'3 and my last boyfriend was 5'11, he sometimes had a problem with it.

Having said that I wouldnt date a man thats 5'6'' when im just short of 6'1 would that make sense? nothing against some one 5'6" but i sometimes wear heals.

i can see your point .....i'm 6'1 and have been attracted to tall women even though the ladies i date are often shorter than shoulder height to me......lol..i'm not much help here am i?

but to answer the question....no it's not a issue that would stop me from dating a lady.

Love knows no height...

In college, I dated a girl who was on the basketball team who would joke constantly about the fact that she always said she would NEVER date someone shorter than herself..

As with anything, people have their personal preferences, but in the end, most of them can be overcome with other redeeming traits...

God I missed her..I havent won a two on two since....*sniff*

It seems the majority of women want taller. Men don't seem too worried over height. Interesting.

Well you see, the taller ones have a better chance of making fire and killing mammoths..

Plus the taller ones can see over the hills quicker..Just in case a Sabre Tooth tiger is coming to eat them all..

It's amazing that as much change as opposite sex's want, the more things really stay the same..

This isnt a bad thing or a good thing, just an observation :)

height is not a problem with me. I am 5' 3 1/2 " tall and most of the people I know are taller. In fact the fellow I am involved with is 6' 1". His personality is what attacted me. His gentle caring ways mean more to me than his height...

I read somewhere that women have traditionally gone for three things in a mate: taller than they are, older than they are, richer than they are. Supermodels must have a tough time finding someone.

Also I saw something that said the definition of a dwarf is "less than 5 feet tall," and that was m or f. I find that hard to believe, especially for women.

I like petite women but I'd break a rule for Elle MacPherson.

I think it would be sooo interesting to date a circus clown sized guy. I could pick him up off tables and put him down, he could hold onto my pinkie while we shopped and i could always tell him pointblank if he was balding.

Ahh! the stuff of dreams.

well dude you are out of luck everyone ****footing around and saying nice things does not anwer the question only women that are bluntly frank , most guys do not care as long as he thought she was hot , that is most guys,

I am 5ft 5in , though I am taller than you I am considered very short to most women , short women even very short women have a height requirement even if they do not mention it , it is a preference , we are stuck with our size , not too be mean , alot of women do not see us as dateable unless you build yourself inside and seem greater than life , I have gone through this , many American women have a height requirement if they are short 5 ft 8 in is good if they are taller than 5 ft 7 in they want them the same size or taller the taller the better , it seems to them that they are getting more man .

On the other hand the only problem guys have with taller women are buddys teasing them guys could be cruel , I dated a girl by a miracle that was 6ft 3 in , she had no issue because most guys would not see her as attractive anyhow (another story ) but I stopped dating her because the guys around me in college would call me her aborted child , hahahahaha .

Guys have a preference usually of not having too much woman , fat as we call it , this can be changed but short is all our life.

Dude if it is a problem to you , being short , yeah yeah yeah , most ladies here would be offended , yes most women would not like you for your height even though they say , what is inside is that counts, hahahaha balony , that does not help you getting them interested in you . Oh my recomendation , change yourself how you express yourself and be greater than in real life , some call it the little man complex or the napolean complex , yes it is a title and to be cruel that women made up for guys with strong personalities , but it does work to get women interested in a guy , money , well that helps alot , big time , being greater than life makes them beleive you are more man to others . What a woman wants the most man they can get , yes an escalade (tall and big) or a small but interesting BMW , yugos and economy type car guys (personality and build ) they see as losers . It is almost a material thing to woman like a big house or an expensive car .

Most guys just want a sweet cute little thing or a hot tall pretty thing .

it is all in the product not how it was made , they say that is not true but many popular guys prove true . I turned my failures around , except on internet sites , being short and listed as such on a site is a great liability for a guy , like being the runt in the puppy box ... well I am that runt tooo .

see dude how many women make fun in these "short" threads like we are freaks to them ? Something to laugh about , you are reaching out and they laugh and make fun if we did that to fat and / or old chicks , their would be a hate war , but most guys with dating problems say nothing just listen and take it from them , I many times got laughed at in clubs when approaching women to dance with and initally asking them just to dance without striking a conversation , they would exclaim and laugh saying "you got to be kidding " like the women here instead of just saying no , or sorry but we can talk , , wishful thinking

no its not important, as long as hes at least my height or taller.

if a guy has got a cute face and a cute smile then height isnt all that important :)

I've got height issues, I think. I prefer someone my height or a little taller. I've been with both taller and shorter men, and any kind of extreme in height difference just feels awkward to me. Like feeling like a giant next to a 5'5" tall guy, and feeling like a child holding the hand of a 6'7" tall guy.

At the time I was looking for someone, no, I didn't see height as a big issue. I'm not a super tall person (ok, honestly lol I'm short ) but I more looked at the personality of the person then how tall they were. I mean heck, if they were shorter then me, then I suddenly didn't feel so short ... at the same time if they were taller, at least I didn't have to wonder how to get the cabinet open, so it worked out either way. (Joke )

I don't really have a stong preference. I did date a guy who was a little shorter and was irritated anytime I wore shoes with a heel. Obviously he had an issue with being shorter.

As long as their legs can push off the end of the bed, they're tall enough.
Seriously.... size doesn't matter.
