I'm just under 5'3" and once dated someone who was 6'7" so I wouldn't have ruled it out, but most men I dated pre husband though were around 6ft. My husband is 5'11" which is good for me, I don't like feeling tiny next to someone but of course it wasn't a defining factor when I was dating either.

I am on my phone, please forgive the typos.
It's funny, because that's where I think tall starts

I don't consider men who are 6' tall as 'tall'. 6'7? Yeah, you're tall. 6'1..well, that's my height so I'd consider you average

I was thinking the same thing.

I think 6' is "tall" but not ridiculously tall. Tall is a foot taller than me. AKA above 6'4. Six-footers don't feel *that* tall for me. I think I know lots of people in the 5'11-6'1 range. Or maybe tall starts where you gotta worry about the doorways all the time.

That all depends where you live. In the Netherlands, being over 6'4 would not be considered freakish.

I'm 5'1" and my boyfriend is 6'4" I wish he was shorter, he makes me feel like a midget! Even when I'm wearing heels. I would not date anyone much taller than him.

I went out with a guy who was 7'1 (we remained friends, but dating didn't work out) and it's always been a joke that whenever we go out we like to see how many things we could potentially hit our heads on. Especially when I wear my heels

I was hanging out with a friend of mine last night who is 6'4 and it was actually kind of nice to talk to a person and not have to look down. His girlfriend is 5'2 and he told me he was relieved not to have to slouch to hear me talk
