Tall girls demand tall men, so there is never a problem to begin with. Unless your a 5'2 man and have a fetish for 7'0 women, that would just suck imo.

I've dated women taller than me, at my 6'3" height.

I have no height preference.

Not at all. It doesn't make me feel less manly to be beside a woman taller than I am. I'm not that insecure.

I wouldn't say its important really. I've dated and had girlfriends of varying heights. I'm 6'2 myself and the tallest was probably 5'9. The shortest was my previous gf. She was an adorable 4'10. Though its not important I do have a thing for shorter petite girls.

It wouldn't bother me. But i can see it might bother a lot of these shorter guys out there. I would find it convenient to be with a lady that is 5' 10" because we would be more easily able to walk hand in hand and talk eye level.

In the early 90's i met a lady before i married that was only 5 foot tall and it was very clumsy when we would walk at the mall or outings. Now sitting it worked because i could see her face better. I would have gone with that one issue, it was her ways is why i dumped her though.

I really wish i could met a woman your height. I dated one lady last year that in heels was taller than me at 6' 2" and i liked it, so maybe height is something i like in a woman. But one thing i do know from dating taller women is that my guy friends seem to be intimidated or scared of them when i have the taller ones around, is something i don't understand but have noticed.

If she was well over 6 foot, i might not like it. I dunno, I've never been propositioned by a woman taller than me, the same height also felt fine and natural to me.

If she was really gorgeous and 6'4ish, and was into me, I wouldn't care at first. I'd at least give her a try.

I'm not sure what the cut off for female shortness would be, if she was proportionate...there are a couple things I wouldn't mind trying with a woman who was under 5 feet tall..

I have a friend who is 6'4 and his dream is to date a woman taller than he is. He once told me, "I will know I've met the woman of my dreams when I look up into her eyes and accidentally blurt out 'Oh my God, you're an amazon!' and she punches me in the face and drags me away by my hair."

For myself, I'm 5'10 and I've dated women from 5'3 to 6'1. It's all good.

I'm very tall woman ( 5' 11" ) . Therefore I can add some perspective about this topic. Some men would refuse to date me because of my height. But I think many other men either don't care about height or actually prefer taller men. I have dated men ranging from 5' 5" to 6' 4". Height was never a problem in these relationships. I think men generally care about weight and age. I have rejected by plenty of men because some they felt that I " was too thin", "didn't have enough curves", "too old" etc. Which is fine. Not everybody going to think that I'm attractive.

Why would your height bother a SECURE male?
It may bother a man with issues!

I would thinking to myself (as would most men) "Hot dammmm those legs could soon be wrapped around me!"

Hi foxyfoxymama,

The short answer is yes. Height is important just as it is to women. The long answer depends on the person you talk to, and thats the truth.

Well, I'm just a puny 5', 11' and I love women taller than me.l
These women that I have been blessed to know, are the most times tailor-made with long, lean, sinewy bodies and have beautiful, willowy frames , God Bless America!
Tall women, you Rock!
Regards, Bob

For me, I don't care about height. I have dated women from 4"11 to 6'3 and each was attractive to me for their own reasons. Height was not a factor in any of them.

At 5'8 when I have dated women significantly taller than I, the issue usually comes from the woman initially to make sure I have no problem with things like heels and making sure my actions and words match. From there most of the issues usually come from various people in the circle of friends or family and from society in general. People stare and make some dumb comments when there is a significant difference. As long as you are not effected by that crap and can overcome, then all is good.

It wouldn't bother me at all....but then I don't really care about what society thinks about me and I'm pretty happy with myself all 5,7 inches of me

My ex was shorter than me, and he claimed it made him look good. Not too sure what he meant by that..........? Anyways....I would prefer a guy taller, but in terms of personality I am willing to make exceptions. However, I am between 5'9" - 5'10", so dating a guy who is around 5'5" wouldn't work....I'm sure stranger things have happened though!

Wouldn't bother me any... Heck, I find taller women to be abit more attractive for being taller... not to say I'm looking exclusively for taller women...

But as a guy, I will admit, a woman taller than me does not bother me in the least, well, as long as we're talking a few inches... a foot or so taller and then there might be an issue (I'm talking without high heels here also)

I think that it is something that is fairly unimportant, just might not get the inital attraction. Luckily, being 6'1'' I don't have to worry about it too much.

Depends on the guy, OP, but it doesn't bother me. I've dated a woman who is 6' tall, and another who's 5'10". I'm 5'9", so what?

Bostonsportsgal, you are a rare breed! I'm 5' 5" and although I have dated taller women, there does seem to be a problem for a lot of men especially if they are not deemed very tall themselves. A man who is 5' 10" is more likely to date a girl at 6' more than a guy at 5'6 dating a girl who is 5' 8" . Once you get under the average height for men (under five eight) then a lot of men have other height related insecurities to deal with that are much more than just a woman being slightly taller.

Well, for some of us, its a matter of attraction. It has nothing to do with "insecurities" or any other BS.
I personally am NOT attracted to tall, big boned, big ass, big boobs etc...
give me a <5', <100lbs petite babe....

Height doesn't bother me at all, but I have to say, I really like short girls. I have no idea why.

All my life I've been attracted to short (5'0-5'2) girls. I don't know why... And the girl that I'm nuts about right now is... *drum roll*... 5'10. Conclusion - height doesn't mean a damn thing.

A comment on height here since it is always an issue with me. I was always the tallest kid in class growing up. Men are usually taller than 5'7" now, so its not a problem. Bit I do feel better with a guy who is tall. Seems to make me feel girly?
I like being around taller guys, its sexy the man over the woman on height. My preference is a large build on what ever body it is on ...that's nice, a shorter man with a good build no problem as long as his thighs are bigger than mine!

Most women need a taller man to make herself feel feminine because she doesn't have the ability or self confidence to do it on her own.
