Is height a deal breaker for you?

I always dated tall men (6 feet and up) until I met a man a few months ago that was 5'8...and so attractive to me that now I want to date men closer to my height so I don't have to stand on tippy toe to kiss them.

I guess it all depends on experience for me- my first boyfriend was 6'7 and I always liked that...now, however....I think if he's cute I don't care.

It could be for me, outside of a certain range. My range probably covers 95%+ of women, so I don't expect problems.

I'm 5ft 9 myself and I have dated men just my height--which translates into shorter sometimes because I wear heels--as well as guys 6ft or above. As long as a guy my height is confident with me being taller sometimes then I'm fine.

I haven't dated someone shorter than me though.

It was for me, back in the day.

I just knew what I was attracted to, and what I wasn't. That's all.

Height really isn't anything I think about. A woman that's taller than me doesn't emasculate me in any way, shape or form and a woman shorter than me doesn't make me feel more masculine.

I'm 5'9 and while height is not a dealbreaker, it can impact my attraction to someone. I'm not a petite delicate flower so I like to be with a tall manly man, lol.

Height is not a deal breaker for me...as a matter of fact my coworker (jokingly try to set me up with possible friends) asked me about this. I'd say many women are about 5'6-5'8" and that's pretty much about my height (I'm a tad under 5'8"), but as flexible I am with my non-deal breakers, I still can't control what they like and what they don't.

So technically it doesn't really matter who has the deal breaker about this...at the end of the day we both sit in our living room, with a tub of ice cream...and watching movies, by ourselves.

(mine is chocolate vanilla swirl with pecans and rhum!)

I suppose in an ideal world it would be nice to be with a guy who is a few inches taller, but I am not about to ignore a great guy who just happens to be shorter. I found a guy who happens to be shorter and I wouldn't change anything about him to get a few more inches in height.

I personally love tall women. I'm 5'10 so women my height will be taller when wearing heels, but I find that sexy.

Height is never really a deal break, whether two small or too tall. If you are attractive, smart and fun you will trump any supposed "physical types" I may "prefer."
