Posted: 12/3/2007 5:53:21 AM | At 6ft’ 2” I obviously don’t run into too many women that are taller than me, and when looking back over the years at the women I’ve dated they range from 5ft’ to 5ft’ 10” in height, with the majority of them around 5ft’ 6” to 5ft’ 8”.
And if there were any prejudices involved as most posters have noted it was probably on the part of the women.
I have three little sisters, they are 5’6”, 5’7” & 5’8” and typically they want a guy about 4” inches taller than them, that’s 2” inch heels, with the guy still being 2” inches taller.

Plus it makes slow dancing awkward :)

Posted: 12/3/2007 9:36:21 AM | | There are some men that don't want to date me because of my height ( I'm 5'11"), but I think most men wouldn't turn down an attractive woman just because of her height. In generally, women care more about height than men. There are plenty of women that wouldn't date a man that is shorter than her. Some women won't consider dating a man unless he is at least 5-6 inches taller than her. | |

Posted: 12/3/2007 10:56:06 AM | I'm tall and I've observed the same thing.
What goes around comes around. The same men wonder why their sons end up being 5 ft 3 in. And then can't play sports.
I've noticed that lots of shorter men like taller women. Go figure. | |

Posted: 12/3/2007 2:33:22 PM | It's all about personal preference, just like some people prefer blonde hair to dark hair. I can understand why a tall woman would prefer to date a taller man than herself. I've been told many times by tall women that now htey can wear heels or the fact that they like how small i make them feel.
I'm just glad that I'm a tall man and get to pick from both the short woman tree and the tall one too!!  | |

Posted: 12/8/2007 6:10:30 AM | I think that women are the ones who place emphasis on height. Men don't normally think of height as an issue for them at all when it comes to choosing a lady. These men are probably dating these women because they care about them in some way other than their height. I don't think height has anything to do with a tall man not asking you out or not being interested. I'd date a lady that was tall. I don't care how tall she is, but ask a lady the same question, it's a whole new ball game and not acceptable for a man to be shorter. You have to roll with the punches until you decide that height isn't what makes a man. As long as you think that way, why should other people stop thinking their way? Try to find common ground in other areas. Height doesn't guarantee happiness.  | |

First, there isn't much logic to that. Bigger or taller doesn't necessarily mean stronger or more willing to protect. Second, who protects you when you aren't in a relationship? Third, just because a person is tall doesn't mean they can't catch a beat down from someone shorter. I would never be afraid of someone because they are taller. | |

Posted: 12/8/2007 11:04:40 AM | | I definitely will date women taller than I am, but they are the ones who are usually reluctant. I've been talking on this site to a woman who's 6' 2", and I have no problem with that at all. | |

Posted: 12/9/2007 5:15:37 AM | As a 6 foot 6 inch bloke, I've always found it 'easier' to date small women. Partly its because they all seem to want to date me whereas the taller women aren't as interested. Partly I think also that I get intimidated by approaching tall women which is in itself so completely weird as I am taller than everyone.
But my experiences in life so far have told me to go for taller women now. I really notice the height difference with a smaller women like when we are walking past a mirrored shop front or in photos. My ex wife was fairly small 5 foot 4 I think and whilst its manageable, kissing obviously means I have to bend over, missionary sex means my head is a footr further up the bed than hers and in general, its not good for my already crap posture.
My guideline now is 5 foot 8 but I recently went out with a girl who was 5 foot 10 and who liked wearing 2/3 inch heels. That was awesome and whilst it didn't work out I'd love to date someone around 6 foot again. | |

I think that from my experience tall women on POF at least would specify that guys need to be taller than them. Also some shoter women 5-5'2 generally like taller guys maybe for security reasons.
But again it's the trend that I see on here at least. I have dated girls who were 5-8 and up one of them was 6'2, I had no problem doing so; not because I chose tall women only, it just so happened that mostly tall girl contact me. For me as long as we get along well and have good times, I don't care if she is 7'0 tall or 5'0 tall.
Have a great day :) | |

Okay, what is wrong with taller women in the UK? As a tall woman, I definitely prefer someone taller than I am - I have dated people that were my height, but I prefer someone taller - I am 5'10" and like to wear heels - A guy that is 6'6" would be my dream!  | |

because the tall women always say no to us short guys.
That is only true when you're climbing up our legs to ask! 
Seriously, while I don't have a problem dating a shorter man (as long as he doesn't mind heels!), I do usually see really tall men with little tiny women. I have also noticed that, in general (NOT bashing, just an observation from personal experience) men "adjust" their height upwards, by about an inch! Virtually every man I've met has commented that I must be taller than stated; 1/2" taller, I am, but that doesn't explain the 2" height difference, despite their claim to be 5'11" or better!
My preference is 6' or taller, but it wishful thinking more than anything else & most definitely not a requirement. | |

I agree completely with this!! Why lie - the truth is going to come out when we meet in person! | |

Posted: 12/9/2007 8:03:56 AM | Tortured, I would prefer to date a tall woman, but there aren't that many around. I think its a numbers thing. There are more short women than tall. I don't run across that many tall women.

Posted: 12/10/2007 6:46:45 AM | It's simple. As stated in profile, I have no height preference.
I will tell you that I had a lot of fun dating an asian girl who was 5'10 with gorgeous green eyes. Yep, they exist. Sleeping with someone who is the same height is also much easier. I dated a 5'11 girl (my height) and all of a sudden we didn't have to come up with extra creative ways to please each other. That was really refreshing.
However! I've also dated 5'2 and 5'3 girls. There was one absolutely stunning girl I dated (too bad she's married now...and not to me) who was 5'3 but wore 6" platforms. Wow could she stop the crowd in its tracks.
Never underestimate the power of high heels and platforms. On the other hand, a 5'11 girl wearing high heels commands attention, anywhere. :)
I won't have a problem dating an amazon woman if she happens to get caught in my net. | |

I met a woman once (from a different site) who was 5’10” she wore sandals that made her stand exactly 6’0” when she met someone for the first time, she called them her lie detector shoes. When meeting men that claimed to be 6’0” ft or more she knew in an instant if they had lied on their profiles or not.
I thought it was a rather clever idea on her part.
