| Yes, I am more attracted to tall men. But now that I am older and wiser, I realize I probably lost out on some great guys b/c of this superficial characteristic. If I knew then what I know now, I would have overlooked the height, and focused more on personality, humor, intelligence, etc. Lucky for me though, my husband has all of those deeper characteristics (and he is also tall). |

Very skinny men are a huge turn off for me.

| I am 5'3'' married to someone who is 5'6'' but in heels we are eye to eye. I am attracted to all kinds of men, but never loved "too tall" guys (or blond guys). Six feet tall is my limit. Taller than that and I feel like they have too much growth hormone or something. I also don't like the huge feet that usually accompany such tall men. |

Height is a funny thing. Some of my girlfriends won't even consider going out with a shorter man. It's like the last "dating taboo" in America!
I'm a 6' woman and my guy is 5' 6". It's not a problem for us, but maybe if we were into a hobby like ballroom dancing, the height difference would be an obstacle. If the average guy is 5' 9", then a 6" woman is eliminating an awful lot of good men if she'll only date guys who are taller. Something to think about! |

| I have always dated taller men. I am 5'6. DH is 6'2. I do not think I have dated anyone under 6ft. I agree with PP. I do not care for tall skinny guys though. |

| Yes it matters to me. At almost 5'10 I always felt insecure about being so tall. My DH is 6'3 and I love that he is so tall! Both of my kids are tall as well, my daughter turned three a month ago and is already 3'6. Honestly I was always a little envious of shorter women because they seemed more petite and more feminine than me. |

| I think for a lot of women it comes down to a need to feel small, delicate, petite in comparison to their mate. We're super obsessed with being thin and small, and if you have a mate that towers over you and makes you look itty bitty, you achieve "smallness" without much effort. It takes a confident woman to be with a short man. |

| 5'10 really isn't THAT tall for a woman.I'm 5'10 and I've never felt insecure or that I tower above people. |

| My ex is 5'11" and he is the shortest guy I've dated (I'm 5'5"). I hate it that I don't date shorter guys because I too think I lost out on great guys because of that. It is not, however, a conscious decision. I just don't feel attracted to shorter guys and lack of physical attraction is a big deal to me. Also not into very skinny guys. Huge turn off. |

Good for you.  Everyone is different. I had a tough time with it when I was younger (I was almost 5'10 by the time I was 14) and I am happy that my DH is taller than me. But that doesn't mean I never dated guys who were shorter than me, I just prefer them to be taller.

height and its relationship to penis size |

That is because they didn't feed you. Just kidding.
Anyway, strange things happen, but most of the time, the calculations are accurate. |

| Hmm. I'm no fan of shrimpy little men, but I think expressions of height in offspring result from a more complex process than that. |

| i am 5'4 and husband is 5'8. height was a factor for me in the beginning but he grew on me....he has turned out to be a wonderful partner and father to our three boys-two of which are short too but are crazy smart, great looking (ok i am biased) and most importantly, healthy (and mostly happy). It still nags at me once in awhile but I know he is the right one. |
