[...] enough to spend our entire weekends watching Disney movies – your Prince Charming is going to be tall, dark, and handsome. Sounds pretty good, right? Sure…except for all those guys who don’t fit into that [...]

Wow! Lots of responses from typical shallow, heightist women on this forum. Ladies, I can understand the fascination with feeling petite and girly but why is it that so many of you need a tall man to make you feel this way? What happened to the modern, independent, self-confident woman? Can you not feel pretty and girly without scrutinizing your own looks based on the height of the man in your life? Y'all say that you don't want to strain your neck bending down to kiss or hug a shorter guy? That's just silly because a tall guy has to bend down to kiss and hug a shorter girl the same way. I also don't understand the notion of feeling safe and secure with a taller man as opposed to a shorter man, especially in todays world. I've taken down men twice my size and those same taller guys who had the guts to test me learned the hard way. FYI, speed kills and is even deadlier coming from a 5'5 little guy that has power too. I normally don't like demonstrating this, but some idiots taller than me chose to get in my face only to get their a$$ whipped. Some tall guys can look and act tough, but they are as weak as water when push comes to shove! Are there any women here taller and shorter who don't need a tall guy to boost or sustain your ego or are you all just plain shallow and insecure?

I'm just under 6 feet and I have dated guys from 5'8" to 6'8". Although, the truth is, it's the chemistry with the guy and his personality that matters, I have my "type". I searched and searched for taller guys, because I enforced it in my head that it was only natural and looks right. While I dated this one guy for 3 years, I started the relationship with a lot of insecurities regarding my height. I would never stand up straight an when we were in high school I refused to go to dances with him because I was scared that people would stare at me when I towered over him in heels. It wasn't until he told me that there is nothing sexier than a girl who wears her height with confidence, that I got over my silly insecurity. And I think that's true, no matter how tall or short you are, as long as you are comfortable in your skin and poised, you can feel feminine (sometimes wearing more feminine clothes helps, too). When I started to appreciate my height, it seemed like more people focused on what a cute couple we were, and not my towering heights. Not all guys prefer shorter girls, and not all guys prefer taller girls. Every guy has their own taste.

Wear your height with grace and pride, despite your size-it's definitely sexier!

I'm 5'10". Been a size 10 more or less since high school – sometimes 12, sometimes 8. For a long time I felt big and I thought it was my height. Then I lost weight and dropped to a 6. It was an AMAZING transformation. I still had plenty of curves and lean muscle. Just got rid of the aforementioned beer weight. And suddenly I didn't need a beefy guy anymore. Since I prefer leaner men anyway this works great. And instead of looking and feeling BIG I look and feel LONG. So. If you feel big, you probably are. Stop drinking alcohol and eating bread and dairy for a while (at least 2 months). Stick to veggies and lean protein. You'll eliminate waste your body has been holding on to for years, discover the body underneath that layer of cheeseburger fat, and start attracting and being attracted to a whole new range of men.

I'm jewish, 6'4" tall. I am skinny, but athletic. I workout everyday. I have never dated a girl over 5'6". Girls looking for tall jewish guys, they are out there. A friend of mine is taller than me…6'6" and jewish.

There is nothing wrong with wanting a taller man, if then, you can also appreciate that there are men that want bigger breasts then perhaps you or others have to offer. I am aware we all need to rethink our values sometimes, but remember, we can't crave say height in a relationship, but complain the other is shallow in some form or another.

I am really tall and have dated tall guys and short guys through the years and this is what I have discovered. Who cares who is taller? Relationships are hard enough without worrying about things like that. Some of the nicest guys I ever dated were a lot shorter than me. What difference does it make unless you are into gender stereotypes. My attitude always was if they were as tall or taller great, and if they were shorter that is fine too.

I totally agree. since this past February I grew another .75 inches (and I'm almost 25) and now stand at a nice 5'10.25" and am in no way a little girl-I completely understand. I'm constantly berated by my friends on why I have to wear heels-1. all my friends are 5'5" or shorter-2. I'm already tall enough. I want to feel like a petite woman-instead of some freak Amazon that everyone points me out to be.
