Generally speaking, I prefer guys that are taller than me. My ex was 6'1", and my current boyfriend is 6'.
However, I wouldn’t say no to a guy just because of his height. In fact, towards the beginning of the relationship, I don’t even notice their height or looks in general that much. I have noticed that I tend to end up in longer relationships with taller, dark-haired, paler-eyed men (for what that might be worth).

I am 5'3 so it is basically a given that the guy will be taller than me or at least the same height. My ideal height for a guy is 5'9-5'11. However I have liked guys who were 5'5 so when it comes down to it as long as I like the guy height doesn't matter.
Generally I like men taller than me, but I can settle for someone shorter than me if I really like them. I am 5'9 and a half, so right now I am a lot taller than people my age, so for me right now I am more likely to date someone shorter.
Its kinda weird as a 6'3 - 6'4 dude. I hear girls dig that (from what i know it has never helped me) but i guess thats good for me. But with my added height if she's shorter than average then i feel like i gotta look down to be with someone like that, my neck is and back is slouched enough as it is. So yes i do consider it, and if she is bigger than me then we got a weird problem
No, height just doesn't really matter. Most guys have an ideal height range, like I do. I prefer UP to 5' 3". Anything under is best for me. Other guys will prefer taller.
I like the right hand picture. That's how my mum and dad were. Dad was 6' 1". Mum is 5' 1".

I would take height into consideration. I want someone taller than me so I take that into consideration but I also have to make sure they're not too tall, there's a 10 inch height difference between my partner and I which is actually quite irritating, so I'd need to make sure that they weren't any taller than that.
Yup. I'm 5'10. People make you feel awkward for being a taller female. I feel slightly more at least around people my height or taller. Not even when dating but in friendships. I mean i'm not all "Aaah short people!" but there is more of a comradery around those i can literally see eye to eye with. And when dating I would look up at a guy than down on him. It's completely mental.
I voted B.
TBH I find really short kind of hot, but it's not a requirement at all. I'm 6'3 and have dated more tall than short.Yes. However, I don't care what her height is as long as she is shorter than me. She could be 1 inch shorter than me, or 6 inches shorter than me - as long as she is shorter than me.
Height matters to both genders to some extent, but the range of what the average guy considers acceptable for a girl is MUCH wider than the range that the average girl considers acceptable for a guy.
i can't date a guy shorter. my head will look bigger and then i can't wear heels and i will feel like a giraffe :( lol
I honestly want a guy that's 5'7 or taller, but I'm also 5'2 and half an inch tall lol. So my choice of guys is pretty broad lol.
Irrelevant. I don't look for that in a man. Besides, I'm only 4'11" so the average man in my area would be taller than me lol
I would prefer a taller guy, but as long as he has a good personality and everything I dont really care bout height
I think it matters mostly to just guys who themselves are short. Maybe women who can't be seen coming around the corner from a cubicle wall.
For me, not so much. I mean i would not care if a guy were few inch shorter than me. Though it would be pretty hard to be shorter than me as a guy.
kinda , but it depends on the person , and their preferences
i don't mind dating short girls , but i don' like dating girls taller than meOf course it's a bonus when the guy's taller. But I'm alright with the average American male height; 5'9.
I just can't date a girl under 35 feet tall, can't do it :(
Yeah. I'd put it down to personal preference.
I kind of feel bad for saying this, but I really wouldn't be cool with a short girlfriend- the closer she is to my height, the better :DNot much no. Except for if she's taller than me. If she's too tall then I don't see it working.
Slightly prefer to be the tallest one of the couple.
I'm not super conscious of it. But never really understood that obsession with tall female models with long legs.no height dnt matters... love is all what matters.. if thr is no affection however the person looks... no one give shit..
It's not all that important but I would prefer a girl somewhat close to my own height. I wouldn't mind if she was a bit taller even. I don't think guys care about height quite as much as women do.
Only to the point that I want to be able to kiss her with ease and neither her nor I need to stand on something. So me being at 5'4" would be a gal who's 4'11" to about 5'8."
