I am fairly tall ( 1m78) and tend to prefer taller men , physically but then again my beloved is very slightly shorter than me ( 1,77) ! So it doesn't really matter.
I think a lot of women like to feel smaller and "protected" in the arms of a taller guy.

7 feet 10 inches is a bit extreme though but then again if he was the love of your life, you might be willing to put up with the drawbacks.

There was a guy in my school who was almost 7 feet tall... and was dating a girl who was 4'10"

Me, I'm 5'2 or 5'3... and I've only dated one guy UNDER 6 feet tall... but it had nothing to do with their height.. because I dated them for who they were.

I could give a rats ass whether a woman is taller or or shorter than me, I'm attracted to all sorts of women.

Speaking as a 5'7" 140 pound guy, I have to say I find it funny when girls that I've dated who were my size or taller thought that they were stronger than me and joked around about it, because when we had playful little wrestling matches or arm wrestles, they found out pretty fast that despite my smaller than average size, I'm still a man and I'm way, way stronger than they are.

It was rather uncomfortable.
To the men : Do you mind being with a taller woman? Like Tom Cruise?
To the women: How would you feel being with a shorter man?
Height is important.. I don't date men shorter than 5'9... and I can't stand short men...

I am 5'2 but am very much attracted to tall guys 6' - 6'3'' for some reason.

Best combo: tall and Moderator Cut

Default this whole thread is so superficial

this is what is wrong with the country and the world. we focus on things like this. I do not see the word LOVE in most of these posts. we are doomed. Sad....very sad. If you date within a specific height range, wow...I can not even imagine. So shallow I cant speak. I feel sorry for you folks, life is too short

Default I've just discovered

I'm 5'4 and most people I meet are taller than me, so I've never really noticed differences in height. If someone is six inches taller than me or ten inches taller it doesn't really make a difference! I always wear flats because they're in style and walking in heels is a bit of an effort. But recently my friend talked me into buying a pair of 4 inch Gucci heels. When I wore them out I didn't even consider that they'd put me higher than my 5'6 date. Anyway, what I discovered from this, is that I like kissing a lot more when I'm two inches above. Maybe this is why guys always seem to like me more than I like them. Well, part of the reason
