What does 'F' have to do with being tall or short?
Most men add inches to their height. I can stand next to a guy who swears he's 5'10 - I'm about 5'10 - and he'll be shorter than me. Even so, he's still adamant that he's 5'10. lol. Idiots.

I know a guy who put 5'10" on his driver's license. He was only 5'7" or 5'8". Sounds like an insecurity. I am 5'5", and I will happily admit it.

It definitely better to just accept who you are. Anyone who won't admit the truth (in this instance, their height) just draws more attention to the issue.
I had a heated discussion today with a few people regarding height and relationships. This woman came out and admitted she wants a guy taller than her(she is 5'9"). Her friend's argument was that a woman want's to feel like her boyfriend could protect her or beat someone up if needed. I took karate for a few years. I will admit that I took it hard. I took it hard because I am 5'5" and felt rather slighted. I can't accept certain things. I let her(and the other person) know that I don't think height should be an issue. If a girl is taller than me, it doesn't matter to me. I also questioned why should height matter at all. According to the other person, I might think a certain way, but finding a person who thinks like me is difficult. Personally, I can't help that some people are just judgmental. I can only work with being the height that I am.
Japanese men tend to be short--they're not over 6' like "most" action stars. (Sly Stallone being a notable exception, he's really not all that tall....I think he's 5'6". And certainly there are Japanese masters of karate.
Anyway, I came back to the thread to say that all short men need to do is get themselves a stepladder, and climb her like a tree if need be.

And I've had guys tell me that they would 'NEVER' date me because I'm 6' tall. Even if they were taller than me.
People have preferences, and there's not much you can do about it.

It's a guy thing I like the idea that my girl's at least at eye level. But with six feet, I have to stand on a yellow pages book. With heels on, it's even more bizarre.
Poor midget me
But there are plenty of dudes over 6 2. I think you should be good

You may not be concerned, but women are overly concerned about what others think, especially their "friends". So she's worried what her "friends" would think if they saw her with a guy was the same height, or shorter. Much of this height preference is really about what others would think if they saw her with you.
Be fortunate that very few men are as insecure as women are, and that men don't engage in such herd mentality.
