Nah. I don't think guys really care all that much about height. It's seems to be more important to women. You rarely see a really tall woman with a really short man. It's like seeing a unicorn or a douchebag not wearing an Ed Hardy t-shirt. Sure, it happens, but it's more common that you see a short woman with a tall guy. Most of my female friends want to be with a guy who is taller or of comparable height to them. Or if they're tall, they'd prefer that the guy not be Tom Cruise levels of tiny. But I don't think guys really care.
Most of the short women I know are funny, sexy, feisty, cute, and all that good stuff. That's what really matters to guys. Sure, you could look for guys who are also short, but I really don't think it matters. If he's attracted to you, height isn't really going to be an issue. Look at Snooki from Jersey Shore-- she's like three foot zero and has no trouble meeting guys. Good things come in small packages. Like Girl Scout Cookies and Hobbits.
Does height matter to you? Will you go out with a really short guy? Or do you prefer your guy to tower over you?

No way I would date a guy shorter than me - but that's because I'm 5'2" and I don't want to date Danny DeVito. It would probably be different if I was say, 5'10".
My husband is 6' so the top of my head hits him about mid-chest. I think he really likes that because then he can feel all protective of me - guys dig that kind of thing.

Tall may get your attention, but personally captures your heart….
I totally agree!
I'm a six foot tall girl and I'm not sure if any guy would ever go out with me... And I don't want to date someone shorter than me, I think that'd be a little uncomfortable for me. I don't know.
I'm 5'10 , slender build.. And men are still intimidated. I find that most guys want a petite girl... So much for being tall.. I hate it, I can't wear cute heels without feeling like frankenstein stompin the village.. And most guys who actually are taller , want a midget to blow them anyhow -__- Thats why I dont discriminate if a guy is 2 inches shorter...shit I cant afford to
Hey now ladies! Being tall is amazing! I'm 6 feet tall and not afraid to wear heels. Granted when I was younger I didn't love it as much. My ex husband was about 2 inches shorter than me but had a big build so I never felt "bigger" than him. Since I've been single I have met tons of men my height or taller. My brother and cousins are all over 6'4" and they say they just can't find tall women. Men love tall women! You have to own it!
Height of a guy totally matter to me, but that's because I'm 5'10" so it's important to me to have a tall guy that can make me feel tiny and be protective of me!
I'm 4'11'' and a half (half is important!) so I don't really think it's very easy to find a shorter man (at least, I haven't met one!). I would like the guy taller, but that's because I'm really, really short. Heels are not all they're cracked up to be -- my feet really, really hurt somehow and I hardly wear them. I find that men tend to assume you're sort of small and cute, which is a disadvantage when it comes to projects, etc -- they just don't take you seriously where work is concerned. I don't think my height gets me guys though; I don't suppose it's that important... but I'm so short, so I won't know.
I'm fairly tall & I love heels, and although I wouldn't discriminate against a guy for being shorter than me.... a lot of them seem to have issues with me being taller than them.... so stupid! All I want is someone who is confident and happy with himself, but that seems soooo rare. I'm pretty much ready to give up and become a cat lady :(
Men care if you're tall. I'm 5'10'' and have had several guy friends tell me they'd never date someone my height. They say it feels emasculating to date someone taller than them. It sucks, because all the 6' guys want a 5'2'' girl to date. I actually wouldn't mind dating a guy a little shorter than I am (say 5'7' or so, I'd feel a little weird dating someone 5'1') but the one guy I did date that was 5'8' had a problem with it... But to answer the actual question guys like a girl who's short so don't worry about being short!
Hah, I'm 5'10" too. I have never dated someone who is taller than me. Most were either the same height or 2 or so inches shorter than me. And most guys nowadays aren't that tall anymore! Have you noticed that? As much as I'd love to have a 6'2" guy standing next to me, it probably will never happen. I've learned to accept the fact the height is just not that important...besides we're all the same height lying down! ;P
Anyway, guys like short girls. And plus you have the gift of heels. Embrace your height and be confident; confidence will grab men's attention in the end anyway.
"confidence will grab men's attention in the end anyway."
Absolutely rock solid advice, Meg.
Thanks MM :)
Yeah I've noticed that somehow really tall dudes seem to end up with really short girls, and one 6'4 friend actually told me that he prefers small women. A shorter guy friend felt a little weird about dating similarly sized and taller girls. Most girls I know want a guy who's taller than them, but it varies how large a height difference they want. I admit that I too have a bit of a thing for tall guys, but as long as he makes me feel loved and protected, who really cares?
I think height matters to guys, just not as much. There is such a thing as too much of a height difference. . .
