Personally I tend to be more infatuated by a woman's eyes than her height. If she is short and beautiful, or tall and beautiful, what does it matter? She's beautiful! While most of the women I have dated were between the height of 5'0 and 5'5, I have dated women as tall as 5'10.
Guys are individual and their thoughts on the subject will vary, however, I really don't feel it's as big an issue as some women think. Of course there will be guys who may feel uncomfortable around taller women, but there will be some who will feel equally as comfortable around a woman at any height.
Generally guys tend to prefer a woman who is shorter than they are, just as generally women tend to prefer a guy who is taller than they are. The height difference between my parents was only one inch, so possibly just seeing them together for 30+ years gave me a different outlook in regard to women's height as it relates to mine.
I think it all comes down to preferences, tastes, the overall appearance of the woman and how they feel society looks upon height differences between men and women as a couple. While some men prefer to stay within the boundaries, others simply prefer to go for a beautiful woman, regardless of what her height is in proportion to his.
Some"boys" are intimidated by their own shadow.
"Men" are not intimidated by tall women.
But speaking of preference, I'm one of the men who don't "prefer" tall women.
I prefer short women.
I'm not going to piss myself if I see a tall woman either. If she's hot, she's hot, it really doesn't matter how tall she is.
I believe most "men" are in agreement with this.
Now that being said, if you want to attract more men, I would suggest wearing shorter heels or even nice flats (yes I know most flats don't look that good compared to heels, not to mention it makes your legs look better...BUT...)
Most studies, including evolutionary biology points to men preferring short women, just as it points to women preferring tall men.
So, if you are out to get a man, its going to increase your probability of finding one that will approach you if you shorten yourself up.
Because the idea is not to screen men out who you are attracted to who "prefer" short girls.
And by wearing heels you are going to be doing that, at least... to some of them.
Some guys may be intimidated,others not so much.
I'm 5'9" and I have realized some guys dig it,some can't.
So,just wear what you want and not worry about all of this.Either a guy is into you or he isn't.

5'7" isn't tall, that's about normal for a girl, perhaps on the tall side of average. But when we're talking about the average being something like 5'5" anyway, then 2 inches is pretty insignificant besides on paper.
And when girls wear heels, a lot of the time they'll be as tall or a little taller than their guy anyway. Sure, you'll find some guys that will feel emasculated if you're taller than him, but I don't think a guy that loses his mind over something like that is done self-improving anyway lol
Well most men don't enjoy looking up to a woman, no disrespect intended. But most men like to be taller because they are proud and can be egotistical. In all honesty I'm 6'2" so this problem doesn't really apply to me. But a lot of men won't date a woman taller that him.
Many guys ARE put off or intimidated, especially if they are shorter than you. Other guys are fine with it.
Having said that, you'd get a lot more guys going for you if you wore flats or small heels rather than heels that put you at 6', because that's taller than the average guy, and so you're going to make a lot of them uncomfortable. 5'7" they can manage.
When you said 5'7 curvy Latina I was like where have you been all my life lol... I think only short dudes care how tall you are, I've been tall all my life so I never discriminate on body size...
I only recently discovered that 5'7 is tall for a woman. My mother, sister, wife are all 5'7' to 5'9" Ex was about that height. Mother in law is 5'10". I think of 5'10" up as 'tall' for women.
I'm not but then again I've never met a woman taller than me in person not that it would matter or anything. I just think there are guys who feel insecure about women being taller than them.
No. We're put off by ugly or obnoxious or unkind women and we're intimidated by women who have pulled a gun on us.
I'm 5'7 and I quite like it when the woman is 5'7 or taller, a big plus if she is curvy and a bit on the heavier side.
5’7” is only a couple inches taller than the normal. You’re still pretty short for guys like me at 6’6”
It's not a turn off at all. In fact, I find them so attractive.
It doesn't intimidate me at all.
It does intimidate some guys, sure.
Heavens no. I wear my heels on those dates.
I'd assume most guys just think you wouldn't be interested because girls always want taller guys
Tall women are beautiful, I love them!
Tall guys aren't.
No, it's very sexy!
