My grandmother is 5'3 my grandfather 5'4 and one of their sons is 6'4

Reagardless if how tall your kids will be is on the top of your list of what you look for in a potential mate u may want to revaluate your lifes priorities because theres about 8 million things more important to a sane person..

Actually, I prefer shorter guys. Anything from 5'5 to 5'10 is perfect. Honestly, I don't like the tall lanky look on guys, nor do I like the tall built look. Particularly, this is just a thing I have, I really don't like guys with long legs, especially if they are skinny! Not sure why, but never have!

I am only 5'4, maybe if I were taller I'd feel different, but I doubt it. Never bothered me to be with a short guy that was shorter than me if I were wearing tall heels.

I'd prefer taller men because I"m 5'9" but I seem to attract the shorter ones. I was married to a shorter man he said he was 5'5" reality is I think more like 5'4", at the time it didn't bother me, but now that we split I went out and bought lots of heels.lol I guess it bothered me more then I realized.

Because I am not you. We are not cookie cutter people, yanno? We all have our own preferences. Thank goodness!

I am 6'3" 320 built like a defensive lineman. My first son was 10lbs3oz and 28". Yes it may be primitive but I think I would be doing a rail thin woman no favors to try and make a life together.
Thats becasue the fashion industry is controlled by homosexuals. They only like the thin frail women because gay men don't like curves. Duh

To be honest, I have always preferred men who were close to my height! This way, we seem more like equals. I'm 5'7" and so is my husband! We've been married for nearly 23 years now.

yeah, i've inquired upon a couple women of the same, (i am of similar height) and the "protector" thing is usually their reply.

I guess I wasn't really looking for a "protector" when I met my husband....I was looking for a friend, playmate, companion and "equal."

I can use a handyman. Me thinks they're better when tall! Besides, I have a 2-story house with some high ceilings...
