I personally prefer tall. Here's a post I'm going to reuse from Quora.
"As a short guy, don’t want a short girl. These are my opinions (and my opinions alone):
SHORT
5'0-5'6: Short on a girl. Good enough for most guys, but I don’t like short girls (I’m short myself and not quite over it yet). I don’t want to be part of a “short couple.”
MEDIUM
5′7: Most men’s ideal height on a girl, but so-so for me. I’m okay with a girl who’s just 5′7″. To me, it’s a middle-range female height.
5'8: So-so height on a girl, for me. GREAT if she loves wearing heels (she’s tall, but not taller than me), mediocre if she rarely/never wears heels.
TALL
5'9: Good height on a girl, for me. This what I’d consider ideal for girls in general, but a little short for my personal preferences.
5′10: A good height on a girl, in my opinion, as long as she was a weak 5′10 and not like, 5′10 1/2 or something, cause then she’d be doubting my own height if she was any taller than 178cm exactly. Also, I’d be cool with it as long as she wasn’t stuck up and did the “I only date tall men” thing.
VERY TALL
5′11: I don’t like this height on a girl because this is my height. I’m fine with a girl taller than me or a girl a little bit shorter (by two inches or so), but not the “same” height. Especially if she only thinks she’s 5′11″ but actually 5′11.5″ or 6′0″. Girls are notoriously bad with heights, and some short men lie about their height, so she may be 6′0″ thinking she’s only 5′11″ and met “six foot tall” guys who were really only 5′10″. We would likely fight about this, as I’m 5′11 1/4ths (181 cm) waking up and 5′10 8/10ths (180 cm) at night, and she likely wouldn’t believe me, despite me actually hating how short I am. She’d probably assume I was a lying 5′9″.
6′0: I don’t like a girl being this close to my height; just a little taller than me. I’d constantly be tilting my head up or tippy-toeing, thinking I was slouching or something. It’d drive me nuts.
AMAZONIAN
6′1–6′3: This is my golden zone for ladies! I LOVE tall women; just not women close enough to my own height to have me second-guessing myself. I cannot explain where this attraction comes from or why I have it; it’s just always been there. My dream girl would be 190–191 cm, or less than 6′4. This is my most preferred height range for ladies, but I know how rare this is, which is why I’m willing to go down much lower than this.
GIANTESS
6′4–6′6: This is the stuff of legends. The women I could only dream about in fantasies. I’d probably be her love slave if she was this tall and this big/full figured on top of it. Not so much if she was tall and skinny; she wouldn’t look big and strong being this tall-but-skinny. If she were this tall AND big/beefy/BBW, though…? Yeah, I’d be her slave. It’d be in my best interests to avoid women this tall, if I was to retain my self-respect and dignity.
6′7 and up: Unheard of. I’ve never met a girl this tall. I’m not sure my excited heart could take it.
Recap:
5′6 or less: Unattractive to me, but I wouldn’t say No to a girl just because she was short.
5′7-5′8: Okay to me, but not really attractive. Just so-so/average appeal.
5′9–5′10: Cool/desirable. Taller would be better, but this is pretty good, too.
5′11-6′0: I’m around this height, so girls being my height is a bit iffy to me.
6′1–6′3: The Dream Girl zone. The girls I’d most desire being with.
6′4 and up: Ultra-rare; extremely unlikely to ever date or see in person."
Most Helpful Opinions
Tall (5'7 or 170cm and over).
I wrote a myTake describing my ideal, dream girl and I'd be up to her shoulder, as a guy who's 159cm.
That being said, it's not a standard, it's a preference and therefore not mandatory.
I'm 5'2" and consider myself short. I would have been happier to be 5'5" at least.

I like short petite girls BUT I have dated tall girls and would date them again if she had other things going for her. Height really is very low on my checklist.
Seriously women obsess about height much more than men do.5'3 and under because I'm 5'4 and want someone shorter. Although I find any height of a woman attractive I just can't really picture myself with someone my height or taller. Most guys think the same
I am ok with anyone as long as she is shorter than me, but I prefer girls 5' 4" and under (I am 6' 3")

Nwver factored hight into preference across the bored short to tall many women look amazing
5'7" is about perfect for me, but I've dated girls from 4'10" up to 5'11".
Shorter than me is allI care about. There aren't any specifics beyond that.
Different people like different things. I personally don't care about height.
No, shorter is better.
Girls thinking that guys like tall girls is a common mistake and just isn't the norm, sorry.
I suspect it's a projection of women's own attraction.I don't care about height at all. I don't care if the girl is shorter than me or taller than me
I’m 5’6 my girlfriend is like 5’3 I don’t discriminate against height though if I was single I’d date tall short whatever as long as I get along with the person
I like short girls... under 5'3" is great. But somehow I always seem to attract tall girls.
Short and tall have their own perks. I love many types of girls regarding basic looks.
Don't really care at all about height. More focused on the body
