And why would it not be weird for the tall guy to dance and kiss you?

Since I am not quite 5'1", EVERYBODY is tall to me!

I have dated tall guys (6' +) and short guys (5'5 ish) and for me, shorter is better.

Actually, to me, height is far less important than character. He's gotta be smart, funny, educated and fit....and then I would look at height. Besides, tall guys might not be attracted to a shrimp like me!

The height requirement skews people's perceptions too. They did a survey once where they asked men and women to guess the average height of men. Men guessed correctly that the answer was 5'9". Women, on the other hand, though the average height of men was 6'0". I think it was because shorter men tend to be invisible so women aren't really counting them when they average up what they see. But that's sad that 6'0" would be viewed as average.

I'm 5'9. I like taller men, but my minimum would be no more than 2 inches shorter than me.

I've dated both tall and short men (I'm 5'0) but I have noticed that I don't treat them the same. I've always acted more aggressively (can't think of better word) with shorter men. I think it's because in the back of my mind I think a taller man would be a better protector because when the guy is shorter I tend to act as if I have to protect him.

This is silly I know, but I really do "relax" more with a taller man.

If I had to pick a minimum, it would be about 5'5". I like a guy to be a couple of inches taller than me.

Well this dude would consider that too big. I would rather be with someone who's proportional.
