I am feeling very productive at work today, that is why I found this article on msn.com (go here to read). Of course, I was totally doing work-related research...
Anyhow, the topic really hit home because I am 5'8" and can relate to the author and the ladies interviewed. However, I do not think it's that big of an issue. While I am not that tall, all the shoes I own have high heels. That's all I wear, not because I am trying to be taller but because they make me feel sexier. So, if you ever see me out you would think I am 6'1". I never felt that it limited the number of men interested in me. On the contrary, there is something about being a confident tall woman that is very magnetic to men of all sizes (maybe, I have the modeling industry to thank). I do have my own height requirements for my dates but I am flexible. It seems like I get hit on by the short guys a lot more than the tall guys. After discussing that with several guy friends we came to a conclusion that men and women view the issue very differently.
Taller Women: They are thinking, "Are people looking at us funny? Are they thinking I was that desperate? Do I look like a cow next to him?"
Shorter Men: They are thinking, "Damn! I am on fire! I got me a tall chick! Everyone around me now thinks I have a lot to offer in the other department!"
The bottom line is - be yourself, be comfortable with who you are and what you look like. That is the most attractive physical quality any way and people will notice.

I'm petite...no, let me rephrase that. I'm short!!! I always wished I were taller!!! I actually sometimes envy my taller friends. I always think of how wonderful it may be to be taller. I'm only 5'1" and wish I were 5'6" or something in that area.
I also know A LOT of guys who just LOVE tall girls! You're right. There is something about a tall woman that is sexy and confident!
Aside from Eva Longoria, name me one short... uh, I mean, petite (to be politically correct) woman who's über yummilicious to men. Go ahead - name me one...
I disagree with the MSN article's author. No such thing as girls being too tall to date. Men love love love tall women. That's why I wear heels that are at least three-inches high every day - not because they make me feel sexier, but because I, um, need to (even though they're absolute torture at the end of a super long day). I've faced this fact: fashion dictates it, and men love it.
I hear ya, Kimmie! *sigh*
men do not like tall women!!!!! I have never been hit on by a a man in my life!!!! I used to be an amazing model and no guy would ever look at me in person....5'11+female = alone but it's ok I'm a good mom, a kind person and a teacher......
This is my life too, never had a boyfriend in my life & I'm 34. That is great that you seem ok with it. I wish I was dead most of the time!!! I have scars everywhere from cutting! I hate myself every minute of every day! I know men are not worth it but I've even tried lesbian sights and their height requirements are under 5'9. I'm just gross! I wish I'd never been born and often wonder why my parents did not take me to a doctor & stop this from happening to me!!!
How did you have children or are they adopted? Just curious?
This is amazing. I am 37 unmarried, never been married and have had few companions all because I am tall. I am 6'1 and women do not like me because I am too tall. I have been also told that I am 'too good to be true', thus as a result I am rejected. Women never believe anything I say, they always assume that everything I say is a lie. I just published my first book, I really did and it is available nationwide. But when i tell a woman this they assume that it is a lie. Like I was told, "too good to be true". I am very sorry that this society is so sick that men who are honest, are about something and who work hard are suspect. But the fact remains that I have no one. But I always hear the stories of the abusers and men who lie, cheat and steal. But it seems that they are the ones who are loved.
