I have never though height was at all a factor in a relationship. I am 5 7 and lived with a 6 ft girl for 5 years. It did not matter at all.I have dated shorter and taller and never gave it a thought.
Male, gay, 5’7".
I’ve been attracted to guys from probably 5’2" to around 6’10" (just a guess). Height alone isn’t really a factor at all, but I end up being attracted to various heights for different reasons. For example, a shorter guy I probably will think of as more cute. A tall guy (especially if they are also kind of broad) makes me feel…secure I guess you could say.
Male, 6’3".
I’ve never included height as a criterion for a partner, although naturally Thai ladies are shorter in general than their Western counterparts. But I’ve dated tall and short in the past, both Western and Thai. The wife is actually tall for a Thai lady, 162 centimeters. That’s about 5’4". In fact, when the wife was growing up, her mother was deathly worried that she’d be too tall to attract a man. 
Female, bi, 5’9".
Height is usually the last thing I notice about a person, so it’s obviously not that huge of a factor for me. I don’t much care if someone is shorter or taller than I am, though tall and gangly tends to catch my eye more often than tall and robust, and short and curvy (as far as girls go, anyway) is more attractive than short and skinny.
Female, bisexual, 5’4-ish.
My husband is about 6’4. I’ve always been attracted to taller guys, but that’s pretty subjective since anyone from 5’7 and up looks tall to me. Most women my age seem to be taller than me too - I tend to file shorter women away in my head as too child-like to be attracted to physically. It’s kind of like my brain decides they’re more like dolls than people as far as sex goes.
I am 6’1" and I had this conversation with my 5 year old daughter last night. She is the spitting image of me and pretty tall for a girl her age. She wanted to know what that meant. I explained that height is very important for males and only moderately important for females. I like any beautiful female at least a little over 5 feet or so.
However, I work in a building with over 1,300 people in it and it is painfully obvious that males that are shorter than average have a huge disadvantage at almost everything. Almost all presidents are tall (I met Bill Clinton and you have no idea how big that man is). George Bush is tall too. I don’t think that shorter females have much of a disadvantage but males do. I would not ever trade my moderately tall height to be reduced four inches for 5 million dollars. Once you are taller than most males, it is obvious on a daily basis how important that is for virtually everything.
I’m 5’ 7", and if I see a girl who’s shorter (under 5’3") and cute, my reaction is “yum”. Of course, I married a girl who’s 5’9", so go figure.
I wonder… if we were to ask about people’s weight preferences, would we get similar responses? Or would men be flamed out for saying that they prefer more slender women?
I’m 6’4" - I like 'em all shapes and sizes but if I were to build the perfect woman from scratch she would be in the 5’9" - 5’11" range (And she would read comic books.)
I’ve never met her or anything but I find Ekaterina Gamova very attractive and she’s significantly taller than me. I don’t think I would have a problem dating her.

I’m 6’0" and my wife of 22 years is 5’0". Now that I think about it, before I got married, the girls that I dated tended to be shorter than average but it wasn’t a conscious decision. I don’t think I consider height as a factor in attractiveness.
I’d like to be a couple of inches taller but that seems unlikely at this point.
Male, gay, 41, 5’11-6’0. I like somebody in my approximate range, but if out of my range I’d rather go shorter than taller. It’s not a “power” or macho thing about being taller, but the fact I only have a double bed. 
Female, 5’4" here. I don’t have a preference as to height, really, except to say that most of the short guys I have dated (my height or shorter, FWIW) seem kind of hyperfocused on height. It seems like they have a complex about being short and paranoia is the opposite of sexy. If I found a short, confident guy I would find him just as sexy at 5’4" as I would at 5’11".
Straight male, 5’ 8". I’d never rule anyone in or out strictly because of height, though the ‘this is weird factor’ starts to kick in if a woman is three inches or more taller than me or a foot or so shorter. And I’ve been in both situations.
Now, as to my ideal, I’d say that’s a girl from five feet to about five-foot-six. Mmm, perfect kissing range.
5’11" gal here.
Love me a tall man
Male, 5’10 1/2". I wouldn’t rule out any female based on height, but I suspect that women above average height would rather not be seen with someone too close to their size. In fact, I have a theory that taller women would prefer a noticeably shorter man to one about their same height.
I’m 5’6". I like men who are taller, generally 5’11" is pretty much my cut off point (though the right man could likely sway me), but there is such a thing as too tall for me also.
My reason for being attracted to a taller man is twofold, likely it’s similar to the same reason you like shorter women, you like them to be smaller than you are. I love the feeling of being manhandled and protected by a big ole bruiser (in appearance only of course, no meanies need apply!).
Secondary to the attraction factor is that 5’11- to about 6’2" is a perfect height re: dance partnering for me, makes turns and lifts much easier and and more aesthetically pleasing (though I’m too old for lifts nowadays, there are still the turns to consider :D). Too tall and many of the moves in couples dancing are more difficult and look silly.
6’ 7" male here.
For many years I exclusively dated tall women. From 5’ 10" to 6’ 5". Even today I see a tall woman and have to stop and look.
But just about 7 years ago I got married.
To my 5’ 2" high school sweetheart.
Oh yes: If you think I’m tall, just wait until Giraffe gets in here. I am NOT the tallest Moderator.
Female, kinda bi, 5’9"
I like tall men–I’ve dated guys as tall as me and one guy who was about 5’6" but my absolute preference is the taller the better. I’m a big girl, not fat but built strong and it really bugs me if I can throw a guy around while wrestling. If a guy can pick me up in his arms I just melt… I’d climb a basketball player like a monkey up a tree!
Women, on the other hand, I prefer short and slight. I’m already a goddamned Amazon, not interested in boinking someone just like me. Tiny little brunettes make me drool.
Female…5’6"
Am I the oddball?
I’ve always had a thing for a man who had to look up to kiss me. Although height isn’t a dealbreaker ( I’ve dated 'em as tall as 6’7"), I will usually go for guys from about 5’1"-5’8".
I’m a tall guy, and I’m attracted to tall girls and short girls, but the REALLY tall girls are especially attractive. If a girl is over 6 feet tall, she is attractive to me even if her features are plain or even homely.
