I am only 5’2-5’3 so I would say a guy shorter than that would be pretty much a midget, hehe. But anyone who was 5’3 and above would be just fine with me, I don’t think that height should be a major factor, I do not have the luxury of being that picky, LOL 
I just read all the responses after a long weekend, and I have to say thank you to everyone. My question has been answered!
What all of you have said is, “there are as many answers as there are women.”
Thanks. I feel much better!
Seriously, from now on, I will keep my eye out for a taller woman with no insecurities about her appearance (so as not to make her feel huge when she’s around me), or a shorter woman who doesn’t feel the need to be protected. Hi-ho Silver.
And of course you thought this was about penis size!! Sinners…
Okay problem solved. Let’s come to the penis size…
Well they say that girth is more important than length so I’m laughing. My penis may only be one inch long but at a whopping five inches across when it’s ‘enraged’ it looks like a white hockey puck has been sellotaped to the top of my thighs.
The downside is I have a recurrent nightmare where I streak at an ice-hockey game.
I’ve rarely ever dated anyone under 6’. It may be shallow but it’s the way I’m programmed. Most have fallen into the 6’3-6’6 category (including one marvellous specimen, a rower, who was 6’7).
Can’t help it: just pushes that button, know what I mean?
I absolutely prefer “short” guys. I’m 5’3", so I’ve never dated a guy who was actually shorter than me, but the “lust of my life” was only 5’4" or so. Shorter and skinnier guys are generally a lot more fun to make out with. If we’re more evenly matched physically, then it’s not all so one-sided. In other words, I like a guy that I can throw around a bit.
When I met my husband, one of the things that I didn’t like about him was that he was 6’2 and a broad shouldered 200 lbs. He has the kind of build that a lot of women seem to admire, but I’d rather he was about 6 inches shorter and 50 lbs. lighter. He won’t admit it, but he likes very tall women–his ex-girlfriend was taller than him and Amazonian in proportion.
So, I’m too short and he’s too tall, but we’re happy anyway. And yes, Rhum Runner, I hate to say it, but I’d think of you as too tall. I wouldn’t not date you because of it, but I wouldn’t like it. (I once even dated a guy who was 6’8". I’m so open minded!)
But even though I like short guys, nothing is less attractive than a guy who is uptight about his height. Instant turn-off!
A 5’3" friend once asked me to go to an event with him as his just-friends date. I asked him if I should wear flats, and he said that I should wear whatever I liked, and for the first time I wondered whether I should consider him as a romantic possibility. So, a short guy who is not ashamed is a definite turn-on. (And if you’re wondering if I ever got together with this guy, the answer is no. I may have liked short guys, but he didn’t like pale women. All the girls he liked were Indian or black or any ethnicity that resulted in dark dark skin. Oh well.)
I’m 5’6". My wife is 5’10", but she’s a good 6’1" in heels. Our wedding photos are amusing for this reason (I didn’t stand on a box or wear Cuban heels or lifts for them). I really don’t think my height has ever been a problem for me scoring with women. Reading this thread, I’m thinking that maybe I have been disadvantaged from time to time, but I’ve probably been oblivious to it.
When we first got together, I used to get paranoid, thinking that people would laugh at our height differential. Then after a while I thought that people are more likely to be going “wow, that guy’s either really rich, or he’s got a huge cock”.
This has been quite interesting reading. I’m 5’ 1 3/4" to be exact. My ex was 5’11". I usually prefer taller man, so 5’8" is “tall enough.” I have to say, though, most shorter men were seemingly insecure with their height, so that may have affected how I responded. And I’m sorry, but I do check their hands. They have to have nice, big, masculine hands. 
I’m beginning to notice a tendency of the women in this thread to bring the conversation around to penis size? I thought men were the raunchy ones …
I am 5’3" and have dated a whole array of men! From 5’5" to 6’6" (my current beau)… kind of funny… I was never into tall guys, it just happened that way by chance.
Both my parents, as well as my brother, are 5’5". My mom has always looked taller though, but it has never bothered either of them.
My brother, on the other hand, only goes after girls who are about 5’0" or shorter… He has a MAJOR complex about being short…
grin I so agree:) I’m 5’10’’, the exact same height as the SO. Very convenient for kissing standing up, for warming each others feet, etc.
Not that I ever thought much about it – my ex-husband is 8’3’’ or so, my last-but-current BF is about 8’. GFs have been around my own height. (Which, BTW, is fairly average in Norway, I think.)
I’m 5’10", so it seems I’ve spent most of my life being hit on by guys who are eye-level with my tits. Nice for them, but if I can look down and all I see is your bald spot, you are too short to ride this ride. Sorry. Now, if you could drag your eyes away from my tits while you’re hitting on me, I might be impressed. So I wouldn’t rule out a short guy, but I just get all fluttery when I can look up at a guy.
Anyway, I don’t go for many guys. And I don’t mind being taller than my girlfriend.

D’oh! :smack: Sorry for the triple post, it timed out on me and I didn’t think it went through. My apologies.
Sweet! I knew I was in law school for a reason. Hey ladies…
8’3" ? :eek: is he a runner up in the record books? The “world’s tallest man” was only eight inches taller…
I’m 5’2", my boyfriend is 5’4". I like it that way. If he were six feet tall, though, it would not matter to me at all. I don’t think I could date a guy who shorter than I, though. I would just feel like a big old Amazon.
Being 5’8", I don’t think you have anything to worry about. It might only be average for a guy, but a woman an inch shorter than you is on the tall side.

5’6" checking in.
My exhusband was the exact same height as me, but the current BF is 5’10".
I THINK girls that are around my height are fairly satisfied with their heights, and I personally don’t really look at height as a factor when I am with a guy. I don’t think I’ve ever dated a guy that was actually shorter than me, but I can’t remember knowing any either.
Average range for me then is 5’8 to 6’2". I don’t think I’ve ever dated anyone taller than that. I wouldn’t necessarily be opposed to it, based on height alone. I’m not attrracted to the string bean type, so if a guy were TALL and SKINNY, we probably wouldn’t work out very well.
As some of the other girls stated, “roundness” is more of an issue than height.

Woman: Sorry, you’re too short for me LOL!!
Guy: Enjoy dying alone and miserable.
