As long as the girl isn't an Amazon, I'm alright.

But I actually really do have sort of a "thing" for shorter girls.

Girls who are 5 feet tall tend to be very cute. They're quite alright with me.

I'm pretty short, myself, though... I'm only 5'7"

Either way is good--but women taller than me don't approach me in that way.

Plus, as mentioned, with so many tall guys who actually prefer short women, your selection of taller men is limited anyway.

I also know a few tall women who prefer short men. I always kid that it's nature's way of making sure people don't get freakishly tall
Well, that certainly hasn't happened for me so far loooool. Maybe it's because I'm still young (19 in less than a month), and college girls aren't exactly the most mature women around.

I've really oscillated on this issue. I'm tall (almost 6'5") and my first two girlfriends were 5'8"-5'9"ish but the one girl dumped me and the other's father didn't like me and made her dump me. I guess I couldn't bear to be dumped any more so I dated mostly shorter girls for a long time including marrying one 5'3". She was very pretty in the face and had nice tapered legs (even though not very long, they were very shapely), etc. When she divorced me I thought I'd oscillate back to tall girls to avoid being reminded of the ex- and ended up marrying an even prettier girl just a shade under 6' tall in her stocking feet.

It's really cool dancing with her in heels or boots and looking into each others' eyes, able to kiss etc. Also, tall girls like my wife have incredible stems usually (although a short little Eva Longoria-Parker has tremendous legs). I think I'm like most guys, however, in that height isn't nearly as important as she's pretty , is funny, and most importantly digs us (won't cheat , sue for divorce, etc). Men are really pretty easy to please, unlike women! My wife , for instance, says she never dated anyone under 5'10" which leaves out almost exactly 50% of the male race.

Looking back on the three high schools I went through and two colleges, the shorter younger women that were attractive or "cute" had a short window of time they remained so. The only ones I remember not looking like they morphed into a sloth by their late 20's early 30's were the ones that had a proportionate figure. One of the cutest girls in my junior year biology class named Kelly was normal size from her waste up but had probobly 26 inch legs. She was unrecognizable at that highschool reunion. One that was normal from her waste down had boobs growing out of her neck when I ran into her at a reunion.
I'm kinda squeamish and grossed out easily by disfiguring female bodies. I guess if your not in it for the long haul its ok

I'm not really hung up on it. Most guys seem to be about an inch shorter than me on average, so I'm used to it. Doesn't make much of a difference to me.

The taller the guy, the shorter he wants the girl.

The shorter the girl, the taller she wants the guy.
