Dating Height

Thing is, for me it's not about "pleasing society" or some such, but about personal preference. It's probably part and parcel of me liking to feel safe and protected by a partner, and a taller guy seems to tick that box for me more?
Doesn't bother me at all what height a girl is if I'm interested though. `On the up

I'm 5ft 7" and prefer taller men. I like to wear heels when I am going out which adds another 3/4 inches onto my height.
I like the idea of having to stand on my tip toes to kiss my date. I would also feel more protected with someone taller
And like someone else said, the hug thing, my head should definitely be on his chest for that0 -

I'm close to 5ft 8. My dad is 6ft and then I'm the next tallest out of both sides of my family. I want to be able to wear heels and still manage to be at least the same height but preferably shorter than a date.
I wouldn't necessarily dismiss someone because of their height but I may not consider them, I think I'd be concerned about if they would find it weird too
A colleague set me up on a date with a friend of hers once, he told me, by text, before we met, he was 5 11, as we were walking back I was thinking he didn't look 5 11, so I asked him again and he said '5 9, I always wanted to be taller,' that was a bit odd0 -
I'm about 5'4" and personally my man has to be taller than me, even if only a couple of inches.
I remember when I was a young teen, I fancied a particular guy. We all used to hang about on the swings in the park and so never really stood next to him. He did eventually ask me out but once we started walking down the road (with me walking in the gutter) I knew it wouldn't last as I just couldn't get over his lack of height. Very wrong of me I know.0 -
Looks like I'm out of the running with most of you girls, as I'm only 5ft 3ins.
I'll stick to the line, "the nicest things come in the smallest parcels!"0 -

If its the right person it wont matter about height. My girlfriend is the same height as me, and slightly taller in high heels, but its other people who seem to have a problem with it and point it out.0
