I've been attracted to women of all heights. My wife is only about an inch shorter than me, so when she wears heels she's the tall one in the relationship.

I can say from my own experience that there's something to that idea.  I'm 5'9", and the only time I've ever felt "safe" and "protected" -- or in any way a sort of fair flower (yes, I really am a girl!) -- was with my ex who was 6'7" / 250lbs.  First and only time (so far) a guy could stand with me and put his chin on the top of my head.  He once carried me across a shallow river, too.  I'm not exactly a trinket, but it was nothing for him.

 

 

Tall girl fist bump — I'm 5'10". Come from a tall family though, so my views on height are a little skewed (like I've never felt especially tall, even though sometimes it draws a comment as it's tall-ish for a girl). My dad and uncle are 6'10".

 

I actually like fanart that puts Sakura and Naruto closer to each other in height. I'm not crazy about the girl being waaay shorter than the guy in fan art because it kind of smacks of an overt femininity, like a traditional guy-girl stereotype. I like it when she's a little closer to his height...where she can give him a run for his money.

I'm 6'2, so I don't meet that many people taller than me, especially women. My wife is 5'3" but it's not something I care about either way.

Well, actually when the guy is taller... hitting him any place below his face and neck proves to be easier. So the difference in height can be an advantage too.

 

I'd like a man who is somewhat taller. It's practical. There are these shelves I can't reach (just kidding), although I'm not that short...166 cm. My height is average. And that makes me an invisible woman. (

None the less, height shouldn't be the deciding factor when it comes to relationships.

Well I prefer taller, but I have indeed been with someone that was the same height as me,and I dated someone shorter then me too. Their height didn't bother me when I was with them though. I'm 5'3 so most everyone is taller then me, including my hubby.

I really don't have a height preference for any of my partners *bisexual*. I honestly see the appeal of people taller, shorter, and the same height as me (I'm 5'6). So *shrug*

I'd don't have prefer. I'm 5'3" dough. The problem is the Media like the movies protrays men as tall and handsome.

Personally I don't prefer one over the other,I've always pictured myself with someone around my height(6'1"),although if I like them it doesn't really matter their height.I've liked people both shorter and taller.Although you may be slightly self conscious if the height gap is massive,you quickly get over it.

Life goes on whether you choose to move on and take a chance in the unknown.
Or stay behind, locked in the past, thinking of what could have been.

I'm 5'1 (shortest person in my family of 9, yo, including my middle school sister -_-) and I'd like to have someone quite a bit taller than me. Ha. I mean, honestly, it really doesn't matter as long as we're in love, but ideally it'd be nice for my man to be tall just because I think it's attractive xD And though looks aren't all that matters, you should be attracted to the person you're in love with. I definitely think attraction can grow overtime, but it needs to be there. I know I wouldn't want to be with a man who thinks I'm ugly! Anyway, I think I'd just feel safer with a tall guy *shrugs* I've had one boyfriend in the past and he was like 5'4 or something, and it never really bothered me. He was just a boring person (lo siento, sir). So, yeah.

I'm seriously finding it cute on couples where the guy is really tall and the girl is short, ideally by the guy's arm-- and i don't even know why  :argh:

I got a thing for petite girls. So shorter then me is my preference.  :happy:

 

Though as others have said it's not just about things like that. If I don't get along with the person or we absolutely have nothing in common it just wont work.

I think it all ties into a bunch of societal quirks, bs and nonsense. 

 

Not to say that I don't buy into some of it...

 

I'm not even a clear 5'4 but I drool over men who are 6 feet and up. Honestly I think I have something for tall people. I identify as straight, but I find myself admiring tall women all the time too. So tall and long limed, and then when they wear heels??? Yes, tall women, wear your high heels if you want to, you look great!

One of our Vulture readers noted that they love how Suits doesn't hide your height: You're always wearing high heels and beautiful column dresses. Have you had the experience of shows or movies trying to downsize you?
I often end up doing most of my scenes barefoot in other shows that I've been in. Which, on one hand, I really miss, because being in those heels all day [laughs] is not fun. But it is wonderful. It's wonderful when you see those shots of me clicking it down the hallway from head to toe, and it's all me. Gabriel doesn't care for it, at all. Gabriel is used to being the tallest guy on the set, so itreeeally messes with him, which I love. A part of that, too, is that there's nobody above Jessica, really. She is running it; she doesn't have to apologize for her height or anything else. So often when I do come onto another show — sorry, guys — the leading men are shorter, and it's all about maintaining the illusion that there's a big guy on our campus. And a lot of [the actors] aren't mature enough to not have that be so. [Big laugh.] And quite frankly, the networks aren't particularly thrilled about having their big guys on campus look smaller than they need them to be. But that's changing, I think. There are a lot of power women that are working today.

 

She is stunning in "Suits"

 

I've found shorter men attractive, but usually end up with someone a few inches taller..but most men are taller than me so  :ermm:  :confused:
