  Personally, I think I'd have more of a problem with dating a tall guy. I'm 1,58 and my first boyfriend was 2 meters, and we just weren't a good fit together. He'd always have to hunch over to talk to me, and I'd always have to crane my neck up. Not very comfortable.

  I reckon that's why it didn't work out with Christina Ricci and her tall ex-fiancé...

  Tall, dark, and handsome? I'm 5'6" and blonde. I'm marrying a man who is barely 5'6" and blonde. It isn't about how he looks. It's about our chemistry. He's the first blonde I've ever dated, and even though I was shocked to be attracted to him, I wanted him right off the bat! Don't listen to your head. Pay attention to what your body and heart say!

  blondie, you are right on. When you fall in love, it's not always with what 'you always dreamed of'! Good luck on your marriage!:-)

  The old height debate. First of all being a man that stands 5'4" tall, height has been some what of concern. I was always so worry about how women felt about my height that I never really thought about how I felt about height. Height is only a dealbreaker for me if the woman is more than 2 inches taller than me with or without heels. There is a very small minority of women who would date a guy of my height. I usually have to work twice as hard as someone taller to get a ladies attention unless the woman is desparate or insecure more than normal. Height can suggest physical strength however, mental strength beats out physical strenth every time. If a woman's self confidence is shaken by the fact that she is bigger than her man then she is too insecure for a confident man of any size.

  Im 5'3" so if a man is shorter than me than yes its a deal breaker. I like tall men. My husband is 6'2" & I dont think I would ever go for a man shorter than 6'0". We are programmed to look for we think would make a good baby & I dont want a short boy so I think thats why I like the taller men. But every one has there own ideas of what looks good.

  I used to be one of those girls who had to date a guy taller than me . But I fell in love with my current boyfriend he's 5"3 that's short but I can over look that and look at the person not their height

  I am a 5'9" guy so i have dated women that have been in the range of 4'11" to 6' and I have to say it really does not matter to me ho wtall she is. What I don't understand is why the majority of women want a guy that is over 6'. I am close to that but I still get looks from most women like I am a leper. Why is height such a deal breaker if you like someone not just based on looks but also the personality?

  My ex was 5'10" and didn't like it when I wore heels because he said I was "too tall". Honestly, I'm only 5'5". My current bf is 6'6", and prefers me in heels because I'm "too short" without them. Haha.
