a tall women also looks sexy. it's true that more often you see a woman who is shorter than her man and it would be kinda weird to be the reverse way.

as a man, definitely yes i would like to date a taller woman. when i was in college, i went out with taller women. they seemed not to have any preference or stereotypes against smaller men. height is one of the factors that may influence attraction. but it is not the factor. now, i am with a taller woman. and both of us do not seem to care of our height difference.

I agree with you that is one factor and it's definitely not the main factor in choising who you're going to be with. it's not like you're going to dump him/her because he's smaller than you. about me hm... i guess I would feel a little weird to be with a man that si smaller than me but I would definitely try to get to know him better. and if he;s ok as a person...than why not

I married a man slightly smaller than I am. Before we married, sometimes it bothered me. I wouldn't wear heels and clothes that would add to my height. Even hairdo can add height, so I got stuck with just the flowing straight style, and not wavy or curly. I bought a lot of flats. These are the things that are affected. I think it was also the problem of Nicole Kidman with Tom Cruise before -- it later appeared in the news.
But anyway, we're married now, and it's no longer a problem with me because I stopped getting bothered about it. It's not the most important element in a marriage.

Everyone has a preference in a future mate. Some people like taller women, some people like shorter men. I myself could never date someone shorter than me because I am already short. If I was taller I would make the exception but being only a little over five feet I couldn't find myself dating someone any shorter.
