It sounds kind of hot, actually.

I see a lot of social pressure brought to bear on people if their dating choices make the majority question their preconceptions.

Sure why not?

Tall chicks can reach stuff for me. Plus I can stare into a girl's lovely belly button. I'm definitely a belly buttons guy

No because I'm a very petite lady (5' and 100 pounds) and I do not think I'd be able to get used to a guy shorter than me. I'd likely say sure if I was 5'6 or taller, though.

**Just realized this thread is a tad old... lmao

I think petite gals are cute; I think tall gals are cute. I think gals are cute in general! :heart:

I'm tall so yeah I've dated shorter guys. I dated one guy who was about 5-5 or so. He was a really good looking Lebanese guy.

It is not that shorter men are unattractive on their own, but that I feel like giant next to them and even same height men, so there is turnoff factor from that, so I do much prefer taller men. I often find short men attractive in movies, when I am not standing next to them. I am not that tall (5, 9), but I still feel like I am too large and unwieldy next to shorter, more compact men.

I'm 5'4", so maybe that impacts my decision... an inch or two shorter isn't that noticeable.

I wouldn't say no to a taller woman, neither to a wider one.

How high was I when I started this appallingly heteronormative thread? I apologize.
