What is "tall" to you? I am a 6'1" guy but there are guys taller than me at 6'3". I don't live in LA though. I live in San Diego.

Overall, I know what people mean, it's not like other cities where the general population seems taller. Any "mega diverse" city usually seems shorter.
Funny, a lot of the A list actors that make it in Hollywood are either short or just a cut above average. From Tom Cruise to Brad Pitt who's only 5'11. I saw Matt Damon at a bar once and he was super short, I mean I towered over the guy. His bio says he's 5'10 but I don't buy it for a second. The guy was wearing boots and looked no taller than 5'8.

For me personally, a 6' guy is normal and everything above that is tall.

There are a lot of short and average height actors but there are tall actors too. Will Smith, Eric Bana, Hugh Jackman, Jason Segel, Will Ferrell, and Vince Vaughn to name a few. Some of those may not be A-list but they are still Hollywood actors.

Lived in Phoenix for 2 years and frequented Scottsdale quite a bit and I have to say, that claim is bologna.
I pretty much towered over most everyone and I am not even that tall.

Height: 6'2" - check!
Feet: size 12 - check!
Package: don't need a magnifying glass - check!

So, Eve, what time should I pick you up?

At 6'1" I just barely meet your "tall" standards. I don't know how old you are so I might be too young for you LOL. I am about to turn 23. I wear size 13 shoes.

Sounds about right. Here's what woman in LA want: ideal man is six feet or taller, six figures or more, six pack or more, white or white seeming, charming, sensitive, chivalrous, large "package," has own place, nice car, funny, well traveled, educated, perfectly groomed, emotionally stable (like that exists), lovely parents... the list goes on.

But men like that are a rarity. One in a thousand at best. Just settle for the short, semi broke, beer bellied average Joe with a heart of gold.

yes, instead of looking for "Mr. Right" you might have to settle for "Mr. you'll do"

Well see, we met at least one of the criteria here. So the answer then would be, "Go inland."

Let me return my ticket to Scottsdale first and dust my high heels, then I'll be ready.
