I've always thought the taller the better, when it comes to guys I date. I was used to dating shorter men, so when I started going out with this last guy, at 6'3", I was like "Wow! Finally, someone tall!" But that novelty sorta wore off quick.

Being 5'5", I actually found his height a bit cumbersome. I like leaning my head against a guy's shoulder when we embrace, and that wasn't possible if we were standing. Holding hands was also kind of off too since I felt like a little kid, having to to raise my arm a bit so my hand could reach his. Kissing got kind of awkward too, since he really had to bend down.

I guess there's no real point to this thread except I know that there are many men out there who have height complexes and often fudge how tall they are on online profiles. I guess I just wanted it to be known that there are women out there who don't care you're not over 6' tall!

I think around 5'8" is just fine with me. Gives me enough room to wear some heels and still feel ok leaning against their shoulder.

Well, if you're worth it, I might consider investing in some 4 inch platform shoes. Either that or we just don't do any activities that require standing?

yeah, but don't forget: you're both the same height when horizontal.

Perspectives, people...
