When it comes to dating, I prefer a guy who is taller than me. I love the way I can rest my head on his chest or his chin on my head when he holds me; also if a guy holds me from behind, if he's taller I obviously don't have to worry about my hair getting in his face or blocking his view.
Those are the practical reasons, as far as psychology goes as another user pointed out, being taller comes off as being more masculine and I get a greater sense of the guy being "my rock" if he's taller. Not sure if it has anything to do with it but my family is also full of very tall men, so I'm used to being around taller men as well.

Most girls like taller guys. I think its mostly just because girls want to feel petite next to a guy, most girls don't like to look/feel masculine, especially with a guy. I know tons of girls that are with guys around their same height and I even know a couple of girls who like it better like that rather than a guy super taller than them. It all just depends on the girl. Unfortunately though, most girls won't be with a guy shorter then them, at least by a noticeable amount.
Yes, I do.
I'm 5'10" and I'm attracted to guys around my height or taller. While I would date someone shorter than me, I find it less awkward if they're taller. I fear that I've succumbed to silly social notions of masculinity/femininity, and it just makes me feel more womanly when I'm shorter than my partner.
Because women are attracted to masculinity, and a taller male will make her feel safer than a shorter male. Tallness for women are like curves for men.
They do like tall guys because they feel power and security with them.

I'm pretty tall myself at 6', and honestly, I feel uncomfortable (maybe not exactly uncomfortable, but it doesn't feel right) around guys a lot taller than me because I'm not used to that. I've always been taller than the guys growing up and that's what's comfortable to me. So I guess my preferred range would be max 3" taller and 5" shorter. That being said, I won't rule out a guy if he falls outside of this range.
Personally I like guys my height and taller,but not super tall.I like guys my height because they don't judge me by my height,and I can literally see eye to eye with them.I like taller guys also because they look like they could protect me,they're usually slim,they have a masculine feeling to them,i love resting head on their chest,and also because I don't have to worry about my hair getting in the way.
i like a guy whos taller than me, no matter how big or small the height gap is. it makes me feel... petite 0:)
I like tall guys, guys my height are OK, but I don't get attracted to guys who are shorter than me...
I don't know why, I think that's because of our envirovement and stuff on TV to wich we are exposed since we were children...I like tall guys but I don't really find height that important to me
Yeah I prefer tall guys. it's just more attractive, you get to look up at the guy and he is bigger
Obviously they do
