I'm 6'0 but prefer my man to be 5'10 to 6'2. I need to be able to look him in the eyes without feeling like a little kid. Not that height is a deal breaker, but like Djuna said, not every woman goes gaga over a tall man.

It seems to be an almost #1 or #2 in most surveys here but in actuality there is little evidence as most women end up with average height guys, even woman that place height at the top of there list. There are many woman I know that would be happy with a living, breathing, sane guy that had ok looks

Just beign tall doesnt get you women if you're ugly but as long as you are at least avergae looking its a huge plus..Male height is the #1 physical turn on/dealbreaker in the datign world

If you're a short men you pretty much have to be prefect in eveyr other way because women are looking for a reoasn to not date you..

iI they have one bad experience with a shorter guy theyll go on a rant how all short men have napoleon complexes and they wil never date them again..

You've seen it on here many times

Well, I can't say I'm a feminist, but I'm also 5'2" and yes, I'd take 5'10" over 6'4", all else being equal. Who wants a literate pain in the neck?

I don't care about a man being tall. Truthfully, I have not seen many men out there over six feet two inches or so.

Sorry men out there who are tall, but average sized men are just as good, especially coupled with good personalities....

90% of the men on this planet are after about 10% of the women.

The converse is not even close to being true. Walk through the mall and count how many times you see a fat bald guy with a barbie doll. You will run out of fingers and toes.

That's only because men are still financially dominant. Should that change, you'll never see this scenario.

OP, height is just one factor. If the rest of you is a mess, or even just mediocre (average face, average body, average job, average personality, etc), you're not going to "clean up" in the dating department. Women want men with the total package (looks, money, personality, etc), or guys that have at least 2-3 great attributes, which is why only 20% of all men end up getting 80% of all women. The problem that most guy's have is that they have no truly great attributes (or maybe 1, if lucky) and that's why they don't do all that well with women.

If I were you, I'd take an honest evaluation of myself and see what can be improved upon because just being tall definitely won't get the job done.

It's better to be tall than short. For example, the rough equivalent of your height for a short man (standard deviations away from the average) would be 5'2". It's better to be 6'5" than 5'2". However, some women will not want men that are too tall. Basically, there's a lot of shallow women out there. Find one who is not. Yada, yada...

You are too tall.

A tall man is 6' - 6'2 1/2. Taller and you are a hulking giant.

try cutting about two inches out of your shins and they will flock to you.
