    Personally I'd rather date someone shorter than me, people who are taller than me kinda intimidate me. Though at 6'3 most people are shorter than me so it works :slight_smile: I like average to kinda tall guys 5'9 to 6'0, but height isn't a super important factor to me.

    Hmmm. I about 6 feet and I prefer someone who is taller than me or at least the same height.

    It doesn't matter to me. I really don't have a preference when it comes to height.

    Taller, definitely. Shouldn't be hard, considering I'm only 5'2".

    Probably about my height, but at my height, that would be difficult to find. At the very least, the trend in the poll so far for taller people gives me hope.

    I'm 5'5", and I usually prefer people who are taller. But height isn't that big of a deal.

    When I liked girls, definitely shorter. Guys, about the same height. My bf is like an inch taller than me (I'm 5'10, he's 5'11). Perfect!

    I somewhat prefer taller. But I'm only 5 feet tall, so "taller than me" isn't difficult.

    This isn't a big deal to me, though. In the end, it's so far down the list of what's important that I hardly think it could possibly make a difference.

    But if I was designing my perfect mate, she'd be, I don't know, 4-6 inches taller than me, I guess. (Notice, though--a few inches taller than me is not actually very tall. Pretty much average female height, actually.)

    Taller. I'm already really short, so it would be weird dating someone shorter. Lol.

    I prefer taller but I've dated shorter. It usually isn't a big deal.

    I am of average height, maybe a 5'10'', and wrote "don't care" on the survey because my real preference isn't there. I like people who have a significant height difference compared to mine. It does not matter if they are taller or shorter, as long as we are not of the same height. If a boy whom Im attracted to is shorter than me, I develop a lolita complex (even if he looks adult and manly) and want him to sit on my lap and cuddle him like a chrished child. If he's taller, I actually want to BE the child lol. Maybe the "tops and bottoms" dichotomy is trueb after all, even though I want to be versatile. What I really mean is that the process of arousal works very differently depending on the height. And thankfully, it does not mean I would reject anyone based on it.

    I couldnt agree with this video more. Theres a boy in my school whom I think i very cute, funny and even sexy at times. If only he followed this video's advice, my life would become really wild haha.

    I would rather date someone taller since I'm already small at 5'3", but I wouldn't mind dating someone around my height too. If he is shorter than me, then preferably by not too much.

    About my height, or shorter. It's not like I wouldn't date someone based on their height, I probably would date someone taller. I just prefer somewhere around my height. My girlfriend and I about the same and I think it works out well. Haha.

    I am 6'4" and get freaked out by anyone that is taller than 6'5". My preferred height is 6'0"-6'4". 5'10" is probably my cut off point. As of this post, only 1 person would date someone shorter, lol. I like people around my height, so however that's interpreted, I don't know.

    I say about the same height or shorter, but I don't really think it's a dealbreaker. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Just a "I like to blend in" and when I'm 6'3, if I'm with someone taller like my mom when I was still 6 feet tall (she's 6'1), then we kind of get stared at. A lot. xD

    It doesn't really matter to me much at all. For preference sake I like someone about my height (5'10) or just slightly shorter.

    I tend to to think my height or alittle shorter.. but I wouldn't rule out someone who was a bit taller either.
