I wouldn't reject someone for their height, but if all things are comparable I'll go for the really tall guy first. And by really tall I mean over 6'4" or over.
You must like men Shaq's height, lol. I'm pretty close to that. I'm almost 6'1"
Never heard of that show, but I remember a song from the 70's about short people. Went something like this ... "short people got no reason to live ..."
There's a dance song from the late '90s that goes "Don't want no short, short men".
Ummm, I don't think Tom Cruise gets rejected a lot.
Seriously though, I don't know that heighth really matters that much, I've never cared, I can't think of any of my friends that do... in fact my 5'10 friend actually prefers them on the shorter side.
Someone mentioned it was an individual choice. I agree. It becomes more an issue for tall women. I'm with Cortland and NorthmeetsSouth. I'm 5"10 and would never date a man shorter than me. I never have....just not my type.....same thing as any other physical attribute that individuals prefer like hair color or whatever. I'm just not attracted to guys shorter than me. The same height might be okay, but that could turn into an issue for him when I break out the heels. I don't date blondes either.
I am head over heels for a blonde and she is about 4 inches taller than me. And I love it when she wears high heals. I have reason to believe our heights make absolutely no difference to either of us. I'm actually glad she is taller than me.

Yeah! We're all different. I have dated men as tall as 6'7" and as short as about 5'5". I am close to 6' in heels.
I think many women pass up on dating short men period, and even many short women demand their partner be no shorter than 6'. Just check out craigslist because there's constantly conversation about this - short guys and overweight women are the hot topics in r&r. I think it's shallow, but not uncommon. Many men and women tend to pick their partners based on what others think, and whether or not their friends will be impressed by their choice.
The comment about short men being short "otherwise" is completely off. Does anyone believe that tall guys are exceptionally gifted there too? Please.
I have to admit, I prefer to date taller men, because men around my height (5'8 - 5'10") have shown a lot of insecurity about their height as it relates to mine. The short dude I dated lied about his height (we met online) - that's how I ended up with a guy who was around 5'5". And he had so many other qualities that compensated (at the time) that I didn't hold it against him.
Would I not date a guy shorter than me? Depends on how I feel about him as a person. Would I date an attractive taller guy just because he's tall and attractive? Made that mistake once - unless there's a personality behind the looks or height, it doesn't mean a thing.
I think more women are willing to date outside of their height preference than men are to date out of their weight preference.

Oh, I remember that one too! LOL
That's where she says something like "what's that, your belly button?"
