It was a year after college, and the person asking me that was a guy I had just started casually dating. He actually was a couple inches taller than me, but the question caught me off guard. It was as if he had peeped in on my mental conversation earlier that afternoon, when I was debating whether I should wear wedges or flats. Years before this, I went to an all-female high school, which meant that if there were going to be boys present at a dance, we had to invite them. I distinctly remember brainstorming who I was going to invite to my first dance as a freshman.
Do Women Care About Height When It Comes To Dating? 11 Women Get Really Honest

Celebrities getting hastily engaged is neither new nor particularly exciting, but this pairing offered some fun new twists: an age difference, a tangential relationship to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry , and the perceived height difference between the two. But the Jonas-Chopra height debate reenergized me, so I decided to email a few of my friends on both ends of the height spectrum to see how being tall or not has affected their love lives or not. When asked how they navigate dating apps as a tall person, most of the single women I talked to said that they lay it all out upfront. Middle school teasing aside, height preferences in the dating world are related to a whole host of societal pressures worth unpacking. A few of the women I asked shared a similar, imprecise equation, which factored height and width into the math of not feeling bigger. I also tone down the flirting with taller women because I feel like they are most likely not interested in me based on my height. I hear women talk about being attracted to taller men a lot.
Why I’m Glad I Got Over Not Wanting to Date a Guy Who Was Shorter Than Me
I think it's safe to say that most girls' dream guy is someone taller than them. Our society has idealized the "perfect couple" as a short girl and a tall guy. It often makes couples who don't fit this standard feel their relationship is inadequate or unacceptable, but this certainly isn't the case.
