Taller than me, shorter than 5'6". I don't want to look like we escaped from the circus or he's kidnapping me.

  I'm not judging your preference, but I never got the whole "my boyfriend must be taller than me" thing. Is there a reason for it?

    I'm only 5'1, so if a guy was shorter than me he'd have to be really short and I don't know if I'd be comfortable with that. But I if I really cared about a guy, nothing would change that. So, I prefer someone taller than me, but it isn't a hard rule.

    When I was a kid my first celebrity crush was Shaggy from Scooby Doo. I wanted a tall guy. Then I became tall so I wanted a really tall guy. So for me it's an aesthetic thing. If there is a man shorter than me and we got along wonderfully the height wouldn't be a problem.
    
    I can't speak for other girls but I heard some say that tall guys make them feel "safer"

      Oh, ok. I wasn't sure if there was a more practical aspect of it, or if it affected hugs or sex or something.

I voted 6' to 6'8, because my fiancé is very tall, but I wouldn't say that's my preference, really. I just happen to love a man who happens to be almost cartoonishly tall.

By the way, where's the option for people who like guys above 6'8?

I don't know why but taller guys are more attractive to me. C:

They just have to be taller than me, which isn't hard because I'm only 5'4" :b

    Because your fiance is 6'6"? I saw a comment of yours about that. I'll never understand why I remember the most useless information. *sigh* but I do like em tall. Years ago my friend who is 5'3" had a boyfriend who was 6'9"! Whoa! He had a tiny car too. He should have removed the drivers seat and just sat on the back seat haha

      Yes! Also, how does he fit in his car? I mean, you don't need a huge car to fit a tall guy into, but it's definitely an issue when car shopping.
      
      Oh, and I didn't even remember I'd mentioned that.

I've honestly liked all of them. However, I definitely prefer them to be taller than me, and there are only a couple of exceptions to that.

I'm not sure I have a preference though, since being very tall wouldn't suit certain builds, and vice versa. And I love all sorts of body type. As someone who is 5'6", I'll say that my preference starts at 5'8" and anywhere after that is usually lovely:). As long as they don't get freakishly tall to the point where it hurts my neck to look at their face then I'm fine:P.

  How tall is freakishly tall? (I'm slightly defensive on behalf of my man)

    To be honest I'm not really sure where my preference cuts off. When I said freakishly tall I had that guy who's like over 7 foot in mind, although that's very rare. I'm sorry if that includes your boyfriend, it didn't mean to cause offense.:)

I don't care much about height as long as they're 5'6 or taller.

I'm 5'6.5 and not picky about height as long as they're not down to my knees, or nearly touching my ceiling. Its ok if they're a little bit shorter, the same height, or a little bit taller. I don't mind.

I'm about 5'4" so anything over that is fine. I have dated everything between 4'6"-6'8" and I definitely prefer a guy that is at least a few inches taller than me.

    He was disabled and in a wheelchair, he had some sort of disability where his mind was perfectly in tact but his body was stunted, he could communicate but had a speech disorder. He also had fabulous upper body strength and was very intelligent.
    
    Not palsy, but I can't remember. Either way, he was really cool and had a great sense of humor and not bad looking. He was also good with a guitar. Too bad he was fucking prick.

It really doesn't matter to me just as long as he is taller than me. Which I'm only 5'3".

It's between average and short. I'm only 5' 1' myself so I like "fun sized" guys considering we can litally see eye to eye..I Plus, I think their really cute. But tall guys are way too tall for me. I can't even see his face.

I don't really care as long as he's taller than me! I'm about 5'11", so I picked the 6'0" to 6'8" option.

Well I'm pretty tall for a girl. So it would be nice to have someone a little bit taller than me. At least 5'11" or 6'0".

What happened to 5ft 11?! That's my ideal height!

Really though, I don't mind. Preferably taller than me (so over 5ft 5) but height doesn't really bother me.

I voted for the second option. I'm not too bothered, but it would be nice for him to be at least a little taller than me.
