You shouldn't have a problem getting dates. You have the first and foremost requirement that immediately gets you respect and favourable treatment from women. Height. Tell me something I don't know already ArizonaBear.

If you and I stood beside each other at a party as the only two elligible men in a room full of single women, they'd all do their absolute best to look over my 5'5 frame to get a better look at you. I've experienced this first hand at bars, clubs, parties and other social events where men interact with women. Don't get me wrong, the sloppy seconds or tasty thirds that you some of you tall guys leave for the short guys like me when you're done chatting, is all I get. Better than nothing sometimes.

By the way, I don't desire the skinny, waify, cocaine-tinged, anorexic, model types that supposedly a lot of men desire. I prefer natural women with natural curves that aren't obese.

As fleetibelle said, It's your attitude rather than your height. I'm 5' 7" and happily dated a guy 5'5" and as I said earlier, if I met I really nice guy, I his height wouldn't be an issue.

I never had problems with a woman taller than me. I married someone who almost looks me in the eye (6-0), went out with a woman who was 6-4, and had a huge crush on a woman who was 6-7.

Wow, some Amazons! Where the heck did you even find so many? You must be around basketball players a lot.

Wifey was a basketball player, and yes, I happened to gravitate toward volleyball, basketball and track women (and rowers, but unfortunately didn't meet up with these types until after I got married). Still, the two tallest women I mentioned were not even athletes. They just happened to be normal women who were really, really tall.

Can't say. Never dated anyone taller so I have no frame of reference. Knew a girl in high school who was 6'2"--taller than 95% of the guys, and didn't have any dates, but then, when I knew her, she was only a sophomore. Things might have changed for her.

Whereas most women that I knew from high school have since married and changed their names, hers is still the same.

Two of my ex boyfriends were 5'3" and 5'1". 5'1" boy had serious cash. 5'3 had one of the biggest, umm, body parts I've ever seen. Im telling you all his suppose height went into that spot. (memories!!!) My current marathon man is 5'6"..

It depends on what catches my eye but I perfer the shorter stocky boys. They are easier to manhandle However, I did date someone that was 6'7" and I climbed him like a tree. I'm 5'4".

Did you happen to use the horizontal limb to pull yourself up?

I dated a guy who was 6'8 (I'm 6') and when we went out to dinner, with me wearing my 4 or 5" heels, boy did we get looks

We actually had a little Japanese couple want to take pictures with us one night

It's too bad that guy was a douche....I'm happy with my 6'3 hubby
