I don't think almost being 6 feet would scare guys too badly, it might intimidate them a little, but the only time I think they'd be scared is if you were taller than 6 feet. What's important is that you try not to intimidate guys. You can do this by doing your absolute best to not look like you're judging, condescending, or untouchable.
Guys, tons of guys, really will look at an attractive girl, or a taller girl, and think, "I have no chance with her." and move on. It happens a lot. So you now bear the burden to convince guys who might think you're out of their league or different, that you're really okay with them. You're tall and attractive so there will be a lot of good guys who give up on you the instant they see you, so it's up to you to make those guys feel comfortable if you want them in your life.
oh, also, look for someone you like, not just some hot, tall guy. Haha, good luck!
Hi Furey, yes I'm afraid most of us have the idea that girls taller than us are off limits, although we won't mind talking with you.
It works the other way too. The REALLY tall girls over 6', who are taller than I am, similarly don't take me seriously if I flirt with them. They have the same attitude that you are finding with guys shorter than you.
Personally I've been pinching the taller girls since high school, but I'm an exception. Most guys are more than intimidated.they are downright frightened to go out with them. Somehow they think their manhood depends on being taller.
Not to me they aren't but to a lot of guys, yes. For that matter, really tall girls like you often won't look seriously at guys shorter than they are.
Being tall for a Japanese woman, I have been disappointed that men shorter than me don't take me seriously either, the same experience you are having.
Most women have internalized the idea that the guy has to be taller as well.
I find it silly but there's no doubt it's that way.
Luckily you are attractive enough that there's a big pool of taller guys who will potentially go out with you.but probably some shorter guys that you like will stammer something and run away if you smile at them!
In my experience, guys are really intimidated by tall girls, unless they are tall themselves. Believe me, I'm six foot three, and I have found that some guys don't like it when girls are taller. But there are those select few who look past it to see your personality. Go for those.

Not always.
The girl I'm with is just under 6 foot.
I am 6'1'' or something close to that.
I had feelings for her since grade school when she was twice my height,
so I was most definately NOT intimidated. It just took a while for things to work
out.
Well its not the intimidating part its more of the "Woah your really tall and I can see over you". You could always bend down slightly but usally if your body fits your height its not that bad. It weird if your 6 feet tall but way like 100 pounds then its creepy. But no tall girls arn't intimidating.
I see nothing wrong will taller girls,and would go out with one,as long as they don't make me feel small.
It doesn’t scare guys. It’s intimidating because it makes guys feel like they will be rejected for being too short. But tall girls are still attractive.
I am 5’8, and no I don’t think tall girls are intimidating at all. I would have no problem dating a girl that’s 6 ft
