It's like liking chicken burgers more than cheeseburgers! Except our dating preferences, I guess, make people bitter and/or give them complexes. So the people with preferences are the bad guys.
You're not ordering from Burger King! People cannot be compared to standardized products - I'm sure you wouldn't want to be categorized.
True we like what we like BUT we also can deny ourselves the opportunity to meet someone very compatible by keeping the criteria too narrow. If he was perfect for you in every way but shorter than you're lower range you're saying you'd disgard him as a potentional match? You must have a lot to choose from!
It's not that a preference makes anyone a 'badguy'. Just that narrow criteria do you a dis-service. | |

I usually look for the guy to be at least 5 inches taller than me - just because i like that 'big strong arm' thing
I'm not sure I understand that comment. It sounds like guys shorter than you or short guys in general don't have that "big strong arm" thing
Oh well, at least I have my looks | |

And to those women who say they're not shallow and height is a preference, how would you respond if I said I only like women with D-cup or bigger breasts. Is that not superficial??
Nope. I would say that is fair enough. Your own preference. And in many cases, you'd have to find someone larger than a size 10, since most petite girls aren't built that way. I wouldn't say anything bad about you at all. | |

Posted: 11/2/2006 7:55:01 AM | I was told I was too short for a guy in the last few weeks. It was fair enough. Hooray for those who are accepting of the way things are and are looking for someone to suit them instead of complaining
Okay at 5'10" I have never been told I was too short for anyone BUT quite frankly I don't want to tower over my date either. I prefer someone my height or taller but + - 1" works. In my experience it comes down to the guy's attitude. Some shorter men seem to be intimidated by tall women (I know - another thread) and have an attitude about it.
It's nice, when in coupledom, to look like you belong together and not pieces from the wrong puzzle. | |

I think it usually matters more if her hair's longer than mine | |

Posted: 11/2/2006 8:32:18 AM | Up until about a month ago I thought I was 163cm 5’4”, last time I measured my height was in 1988. So a friend said I seemed taller than that, so I measured my height again (in the late afternoon). 165cm, 5’5” , I was very happy that day  . Not because I gained an inch in height but I just improved my chances of meeting some great girl…by an inch
Anyway... I don’t think I’m too picky about height, but I did notice my preference of width vs. height; the taller she is, the thinner she is. It’s all about what I can get my arms around. I’ve got a friend; she is 5’11” and beautiful. If she had not moved back overseas, I may have tried to see if there could be more. | |

The woman that I was with for a year in the early nineties (and intermittently for a few years on either side of that) is a foot shorter than I am.
My wife was seven inches shorter than I am. It was a pain not to be able to do that "lay your head on my shoulder" thing, but there were no issues overall. | |

Posted: 6/20/2007 8:06:10 PM | | I really don't care, as in bed I'm gonna be on top. As for wearing heels, etc. - I wear them anyway, not matter if he is taller or shorter. I don't understand why something like that would be an issue. | |

Posted: 6/20/2007 8:24:24 PM | I want to feel small... Not that I am that tall anyways... I believe man should be taller, wider, hairy, stronger, faster and wiser ... Call me old fashioned, but laying down in arms of a muscular man just does for me... (I am not going to say what...)  | |

Posted: 6/25/2007 3:48:37 AM | | I'm 6'3" and have dated women from 5'1" to 6' and I really have no prefference. All I noticed is the smaller women tend to be a lil more controlling when they want stuff ... like jumping right up on you for a kiss or grabbing your caller and pulling you down. I kinda like that though :) | |

Posted: 7/26/2008 3:13:35 AM | can i just say to all the people who say 'we are all the same height laying down' that we are NOT all the same height laying down. I am 5'2 standing up and my ex is 6'5. Laying down, i was still 5'2 and he was still 6'5. im not saying it was an issue - if anything it made things a bit more exciting, but we were definitely not the same! lol
oh and to answer the OP, there is no ideal height difference IMO - anything is acceptable :)

Posted: 7/26/2008 1:38:56 PM | | I'm 5'4 1/2 and my ex was 6'1. It was a big reach but not too big. :) Depends on the person, I look at the whole package, but I do prefer men taller than me. | |

I prefer men close to my height or taller. A couple inches shorter is not a biggie to me.
I dated a short guy once, and like others mentioned, it was just awkward. When I hugged him, I literally looked down at the top of his head, and for me, it felt like I was hugging one of my kids!!
I know it shouldn't make a difference, but I was just not comfortable with it. | |
