Yes I do have a preference that men be about 5'10" (I'm 5'5" but shrinking, lol). I think for me a lot of it stems from my ex husband. He was taller than me, but only as long as I didn't wear heels that were too high. It bothered him, so he never wanted me to wear the really great high heels. I do admit that if I go dancing with a guy and I'm wearing heels, I don't want to bend over to rest my head on his shoulder. Just not appealing.

Right now though I'm talking with a man who I think is about 5'7" or 8". We haven't met face to face yet, but I'm not ruling him out because he is below 5'10". Now if he were only 5'6" or below, I think it would be a different story.

I prefer taller (I'm another one of the 5'4" group), by at least several inches, slender, and I do enjoy the androgynous look (which is damned near impossible to find, at my age).  Since that's the case, I haven't really found a 'type' that immediately appeals, other than being taller (5'8" tends to be my low end..)

I have a preference for taller men. I have dated men that were shorter, but not any doms who were shorter than myself...

It isn't something I would rule out, within an inch of my height, but it is a strong preference to the point that when men email me and they are of slighter stature than myself, I tend to rule them out.

I tell everyone that I like men built like doors-- tall, and wide.  *grin*

I'm 5'7" and I adore heels. 

If we're standing face to face, I'd like my eyes to be just about shoulder height.  That is just purrrrrrrrrrfect. 

I like a man to tower over me-- it makes me feel feminine and protected.

The tallest I was ever with was 6'6", the shortest - that ever got anywhere- was 6'2". 

I'd like to think I'm open enough to be happy with someone that's shorter... but I just don't know.

Rather than height, what does influence my attraction to a man is physical type. A certain sense of solidity and masculinity is very attractive to me, and I find any man with an androgynous and delicate build a bit of a turn-off. I'd rather be with a 4'10" guy built like a gorilla than a 6'10" elf. I don't want to be with someone who looks like they'd snap in two if I gave them a hug! ( Though with that being said, mental attraction always comes first... )

I come from a tall family. My older bro is a bit taller than you, my dad is your height, mom and I are 5'9"/ 5'10" (the 'short' ones in the family), my sis has about 6" on me.... hmmm....I think you may be a long lost brother of mine, WBS! Mom will be so surprised!

I totally agree with what you wrote above. While I like tall men, build is much more important as regards physical attraction. I like solid guys (preferably furry), and slender or androgynous men just aren't attractive to me. That said, compatibility and connection trump the physical stuff.

I'm 5'2 and of average to petite build. While It probably doesn't take a huge guy to dominate me, my Master is definitely not small in ANY way thank you very much! lol. I do prefer tall men though and I like my men thick to as well. I like to feel dominated in every way. I dated a few guys closer to my height and I didn't treat them as well, they were very vanilla relationships and I pretty much kept them as playthings and didn't take them seriously. My Master however commands respect and obedience from the word go!

I am 5 foot 10... felt that once when I dated this guy who was 260 and 6 foot 5. It is not just the height, but the breath of a guy...lol

Sorry, Julia, I just couldn't resist

I get what you are saying, though. Bear-type guys rock for us tall girls... although, for me, there's something kinda hot about wearing tall heels with a bearlike Dom who is my natural height. It's like being a gazelle walking with a lion

i like men about the same hight as myself, that is totally best for dancing and sex.
though i also adapt to people much taller or shorter than me, it is just not as good a match as could be, i like our eye level to be about even.
i always prefer chunky to slim

i think purely aesthetically smaller men with good bodies look best, bigger men might look clumsy...

It's interesting to note that your profile doesn't even list your own height.

It doesn't mention a lot of things.   I am 5'8."  I have 4" down to one inch heels and dress sandals with a 1" base.  I wear the flattest shoes I can when with a man 5'10" . . . .  he may not have a problem with my heels (any ht) but I certainly do.

I have 4 other sibs and I am the 2nd tallest.  The tallest is 6'4."
And speaking of families with height......  that brother married a woman almost 6 ft and their kids are both over 6', both being younger than 20 yrs old.   I love bear hugs from my brother... I feel overwhelmed and encircled . . . I tell him I like to hear his heart beat.
My 6'2" 16 yr old niece stoops to give me a hug...she likes her aunt to encircle her......  she is a great kid.

For Me i do care about height. Seems i Like the feeling of being enveloped and Manhandled and Overpowered, more of the little woman thinking. Being mindful that He can push You up against the wall and TAKE me when ever He wishes and Mean It! * snaps out of that day dream! * i also love nice legs on a Man... thicker thighs and calves..Powerful! ..YUM!

i went out with a short guy once as well... when we slow danced His head rested on my chest.. good place for HIM not so good a place for me.. lol

The only problem i run into is that , since i am only 5'4" when a man is 6' or taller there is a problem um.. " lining up in certain positions and they tend to think High Heels are the answer and unfortunatly ( and this IS depressing to me !!) i cannot wear high heels ( nothing more than a kitten heel due to my feet being stood on working most of my life and High Heels are impossiable now at almost 52! Men do not seem to understand this.. of course they ALL say .."Well I didnt say Youd have to walk anywhere in them.. uh huh.. and well.. as long as there is something to lean against or lay on while in them and its ok i am good to go .. but seems a bit silly to me.. * shrugs* but oooooK!

i wonder if anyone else has noticed that Most of the profiles say they are 6' ? i think it is more of a standard answer then the truth.. i have met a few in person and there is no way they are 6'! Are they feeling the pressure ? interesting thought...

Always something.. always!

*laughs at the pic in her head now of face on the floor over the knee ! * thanks! holly! lol

Wow reading this thread has made me feel tall....

I'm 5'8/5'9", taller is my preference. It's not set in stone. Who they are is much more important to me than what they look like im most regards.

I'm 5'4 1/2".  -Blinks.-  Daddy's about 5'11".  I complain on occasion that I'm "too short" to reach things, but His response is that He likes to help me.  He also says I'm the perfect height for Him.  My head fits right under His chin, so He can hold me. 

But yeah.  I'm not really into guys who're too short.

Actually I tend to like men who are kinda wiry... although my last dom wasn't.... there is something to be said about having someone weigh so much more than you that they take your breath away when they use their body weight to hold you down... the Goldie Locks in me says "just right"

I am 5 ft i am the shortest one in my family my sisters are all taller then me. My Master is 6' and the top of my head comes up to his shoulder. Not that i mind at all. i have always liked tal men. At my height finding a man shorter than me would be hard. Even if i did not have master i would not date a man shorter then me, to me that would just be too weird. I would date a guy 5'3 ,5'4 if i was single it is mostly the personality not the height. Like i said i perfer tall man but i would not discount a shorter man just because of his height as long as he was not shorter than me.
