Well, I should know... I'm 6'1" and I'm hopeful of finding a man taller than me. How very much I'd like to wear heels, feel like the little woman and go dancing...

As a woman who is 6'1" (flat-footed, with the heels I like to wear I'm a giant), I was quite intrigued by this topic and the comments. I sometimes jokingly say I'm 5'13" because it sounds better . Here is what I've noticed:
a.) I don't notice my height because I'm used to it. But when I look at photos of myself standing with other people, I realize how much taller I really am.
b.) Many, not all, men are intimidated by or not attracted to taller women. I don't usually think about it because I know the right man for me will be fine with my height.
c.) A man's height isn't as important as how he makes a woman feel about herself. That being said, I am aware that a shorter fella may have to work a little harder. I personally have been attracted to taller and shorter men, and haven't had much luck with either.
Like most women, I desire to be loved and adored by the one I give my heart and life to. I can't picture that being someone a lot shorter than me. But sometimes our mental pictures are very different from the reality we experience.

I guess height or weight should not matter, when it all comes down to it the main thing that matters is how well do they get along.

This is funny to me. As for my last bf was 5'9" at a fit 180 lbs and I'm 5'8" at 155 lbs. I felt awkward as sometimes I felt like the more dominate person. My chest is somewhat proportioned, so when we hugged I felt like the "bigger" person. As far as our relationship went it was the best I've experienced. Always laughing and having a good time but due to different life stages it had to end. I now look at all my profiles height's to make sure that they're at least 2-3+ inches taller. Maybe it's a domination factor, I'm still trying to figure it out. But yes I do like a taller man.

I am now dating someone who is only 1 inch taller than me (5'8") and I couldn't be more thrilled! Mostly' he's just a really great guy; but also its such an eye opener that many things are . . . easier with someone who's close to your same size! I'll never go back to my 6 foot plus preference!

It matters a lot to me how tall a man is. It's pretty basic: I want to feel feminine and protected. I also feel size is important. I prefer a solidly built and tall guy. I'm 6'0" tall and it's very important to me to be with someone whom I feel can protect me. By the way: Why does it seem like really short men (under 5'8") seem to just love tall women??

I'm 5'5", don't wear heels ever, and enjoy men my height or taller, but only up to a point. I dated a man who was 6'3" and my neck hurt! My ideal would probably be someone within a few inches of my height, but I wouldn't rule out anyone based on height alone (although looking down to kiss a guy would definitely take some getting used to, for both of us I'm sure).

What's really sad is the hypocrisy in women's "equality" that is exposed here. WHY do they like them taller? Your article, and reality, say because taller men are "dominant" and "stronger". If we are all equal in all ways, as the feminists all scream, then why oh why would this matter to women? Because feminist ideology ignores biological reality, every time. They SAY they want the sensitive type, etc., but their actions belie their words. They SAY we're all equal, but ever had women pick up the check more than as a token gesture occasionally? They SAY we're equal, but ever try to date when you are unemployed, as a man, or have a bad job? They want the best of the 50's dominant/tall/generous/financially secure man, and in the next breath they want to be treated equally while being put on a pedestal. Double standard? Keep quiet - after all, you want the date, don't you? Incredible. Any wonder why divorce and lack of child-bearing of White American women has declined steadily and irreversibly since the 60's women's movements? White American women are literally not reproducing themselves out of existence. The hypocrisy of the modern woman is unsurpassed.

This is irresistable. Male 5'3". In my 33 years I've dated 1 woman shorter than me. One. Do I find it preferable to date women shorter than I am. Absolutely. How tall will I go? Frankly, once I got over it, it stopped mattering. Height is a matter of attitude. Make a 6'4" woman feel comfortable in public with you and you're half way there. Hell, we're both accustomed to looks; why not be the center of attention together? Accomplish that by being comfortable with yourself. If you're a man taller than I am complaining about your height problem. . . get counseling.

I'm a short person and have always tried to avoid tall men. Those 6'0" and taller have had an attraction to me that I don't understand. I'm like a bug to them, myself being 4'11". It's just difficult to connect with someone that I can't look in the eye. However, I want to still be shorter so I am interested in those that are 5'7"- 5'9".
