Tall girls & short guys: Do you like a guy shorter than you? Do you like a girl taller than you? Why?

So I'm 5'4" I'm about 3 inches shorter than my fiance. Sometimes when i stand next to her I feel really really short, but I feel protected with her usually unless she's mad, than I get scared lol.... So short guys how do you feel about women being taller than you and tall girls how do you feel about being taller than your man? Normal size guys and gals how do you feel about seeing couples where there is 3 or more inches between them with the guy being shorter??

    on a side note....i don't like guys being taller then me....i don't know why, it makes me take a step back. so my ex is the same height as me and he hated me wearing heels and such. Now i wear what i want :)

    however i have seen guys with taller chicks and i just smile if they are holding hands.

    im a tall girl and height doesnt matter to me. i value the characteristics and traits and individual has. that overrides height for me.
    Height cant give nor take away a persons moral and integrity which i value so much a in a person. im 5'10 and i dont care how tall or short a guy is.

    Ok lol i find this topic really interesting... It seems like that taller girls don't care about men's height while short girls do, and that shorter guys prefer taller girls while taller guys prefer shorter girls.... Well, that's perfect!! because human always seem to long for things that they don't have. I'm a short girl, (only 5'2'') however I prefer tall guys who are about 6'1, and I find it hard to have a love interest in guys who are only a few inches taller than me, while many tall girls around me date guys who are around 5'6... Interesting isn't it???

    I am 5"7ft and my girlfriend is 5"9, she was not what i was looking for in terms of height, but it didnt matter because she is such an amazing person, just the way i like them :-)
    Point is, i dont think height matters when it comes to couples, we have been dating for 3 years and a half...however, i do find tall girls more attractive than shorter girls, maybe because i have a thing for legs haha...
    Tall for me is 5"8 and above, where as taller than 6ft is just too much for my height haha...

    Height doesn't matter as long as you love one another. Some taller guys can hurt girls more than shorter guys. Some shorter guys(like me) can love girls taller than them more than taller guys do. Sometimes, it's not about the height, it's about who we fall in love to. <3

    I'm 5'7" and my boyfriend is 5'1". When I first saw my boyfriend at a party I was attracted to his personality, so when we started hanging out and I realized how much shorter he was than me it felt awkward. Before him I only had boyfriends that were taller than me. Holding hands and walking next to him made me feel like people were always starring at us and I was uncomfortable at times. The first time we went somewhere where we dressed up I was apprehensive of wearing my heels, but he encouraged me to wear them. Needless to say after five years we are still together and I love the fact that he is confident with himself and his body. I eventually got over the awkwardness of him being shorter and now I even like it when people stare at us.

    I'm still in high school(f.y.i)
    I am about 5'7 1/4 and I like a guy who is about 5'3 at the most 5'4. He sits next to me in science and we always have the best time. At the same time I like a guy who is 6'2. For me, I think its about their personality. Mr.Science, we both have the same humor, and Mr. 6'2... we both love music. Thing is I've never dated before and i don't even know how to express my feelings :/

I love my shorter bf. he is a man and loves me. y'all girls are sexy (runway models), short girls are cute (photo in magazine) we are all beautiful. I love my shirt girlfriends too :)

    I'm 5'10.25'' and really hate being tall... anyway, my ex was tall, maybe 6' or a bit more, but i find myself attracted to people of all different heights. To be honest, I do not feel at ease towering over almost most women and a lot of men, but I would definitely date a guy who's shorter than me if he has a good personality and doesn't mind my height, of course. I do find myself attracted to shorter guys quite often.

    I'm currently crushing on a guy at work who's maybe 5'5 or 5'6...sigh, he's really nice to me but i know it doesn't mean anything.
    It feels like most if not all men are only attracted to women who are shorter than them, and i must agree that short girls really are cuter...I hate standing out, and just feel so bummed to be tall

    My first reply didn't quiet take. I think you should google the "tall girl short boy" tumblr. The owner of the blog is quite a tall, sexy rockabilly type. She realized height is just a physical trait. It's stupid to limit your dating pool based on that. Also, she is engaged to a guy shorter than her. It's quite inspiring, I think to both tall girls and short guys. Now, if you like this guy, you might have to make it more known before he thinks to make a move. If it were me (a short guy), I wouldn't expect a taller girl to be attracted to me. In fact, I sadly make the assumption that a girl would be embarrassed to be seen dating a shorter guy, so I would take her being nice to me as only that, nothing more. I say **** societal norms. Date the guys you want. Good luck to you!

    I'm a tall girl 5'10" ( barefoot) and I have a huge crush on a guy he's 5'5". Before I had a thing for tall guys, but I started to notice that the shorter guys were funnier, cuter, and had amazing personalities. My crush is one of my best guy friends. He doesn't care about my height and he makes me feel beautiful and sexy especially with heels on. ;)

    I am 6'1" and still at high school. Of course I would like to date a taller guy - I want to feel protected and safe, who doesn't?- but if I was in love with a shorter guy, I like to think I wouldnt care much about his height. It means I can't wear heels and have chronically large feet, but everybodies imperfections make them stronger.

    I am 5'8 and I used to always want that guy taller than me, but all the tall guys were either taken or weren't good guys. And no matter how much I tried to like someone taller than me, a guy my height or shorter would just attract my attention. All my crushes have been that way. I just can't help myself. Short guys are cute. I wouldn't mind dating one, my only worry is if they would date me....

    I'm a midget, so I have to love girls that are taller than me. When I look at my girlfriend when she is wearing no shoes, my eye level is at her waist. I have to sit in a high chair to fit at the dinner table! And my girl friend is so much stronger than me! She treats me like a baby just because I am 26 and haven't hit puberty. I am so weak that my 2 year old brother is much taller and much, much stronger. He is closer to puberty than I am. there is stuff that he can easily pick up with one hand, that I can't lift off the ground with two hands. Though as much as my girl friend, and every one else in the world is superior to me, I still like her.
