One of the great things about being of average height...I'm 5' 10"...is that during the last forty years I've dated women both taller and shorter than myself. I liked the tall women cause they could hand me suff out of the kitchen cabinets that I couldn't reach. I liked the short women cause they didn't bump their heads in the forward berth of my boat. Truthfully, I couldn't care less which they are, just so long as we get along.

Speaking hypothetically, of course, since I am happily married, I like tall women just as much as short women. I'm 6'2" so there are few women taller than me anyways, but if a woman was slightly taller I'd be fine with that.

My wife is the perfect height; my chin rests on the top of her head when I hug her, which is awesome :D

I am 6'2" barefoot, so I have met a few women who are my height, but none that were noticeably taller. The few tall women that I have known well were all quite beautiful. A question I've asked women is, "Would you date a fellow who was significantly shorter than you?" most said no.

I don't think I have ever met a woman taller than me before in my life, and I'm about 6'4. A woman taller than me would practically be like an Amazonian.

I used to date a lot of the leggy models from my old art school when I was younger. I'm only 5'7" tall, most of them were at the very least, 5'9" tall and up. It didn't bother me a bit and I found the experience novel enough. My fiance however is much shorter than me, she's only 5'2" tall, but I fell in love with her because of her personality (and her Amazing good looks, let us not forget to mention, along with her grace, elegance, and charm and kindness). I could go on. But I'll probably end up even nauseating myself. Ha!

I was thinking the same :) This thread should be re-titled; Ladies: Do you feel comfortable with a man who is shorter than you?

To be honest, I don't put my eyes on taller women but it is because I think they won't be interested in a guy that is shorter than them. [huh]

Anyway, If I had to date a taller woman I'd do with no hesitation. Life is hard :D

I personally think from my own experiences, that the question of a taller woman feeling comfortable with a shorter man is all dependent upon the man's attitude in the situation. If the man doesn't look at himself as a product of his own physicality but rather as a dynamic individual of great intrinsic value as a human being, then everyone else will treat him as such, and not as a short, tall, average, fat, skinny, handsome or ugly man, but simply as a Man amongst men and often times, amongst boys.

In short self-possession and confidence are key to social interactions and relationships as in everything else in life.
