And just a random little thought: a few other men that are sexy....and short
Prince   5'2"  
the late Ronnie James Dio 5'3
Dustin Hoffman 5'6"
Chuck Norris  I've also heard he's 5'4" but have not found anything official
Al Pacino is 5'6"

OH...and by the way....

Marquis de Sade.  He was also....  ....5'2"

And another benefit of short men...when you slow dance their mouths are generally in a yummy place

Come now, you don't like the sappy romantic concept of being the woman small enough to rest their head against the man's chest and hear their heartbeat during a slow dance?

Sure, that's lovely too, although at 5'9" barefoot and 6 feet at least in my shoes, it's not a common occurrence. My man is 6 feet so we are usually cheek to cheek when we dance, which is perfect for some nuzzling...

I do find an awfully lot of shorter men hot, always have, can't explain it. it really did start though in my teens with my insane insane attraction to Al Pacino when I first saw Scarface. I still love that man. Yum!

Needles, you aren't stating a preference; you're stating a mandatory. How much respect would you have for me if I said I would only date the slimmest five per cent of the female population, no matter what, that her personality, etc., just didn't matter? I would consider myself to be a douchebag if I had a firm requirement like that.

I have dated two women much taller than I am, and they definitely would have preferred it if I were taller, but they didn't mind being seen in public with me, even when they were wearing heels. (Both of them are bedroom subs, if that makes any difference.)

Wow... what a shame... or *shrug* perhaps not...

you certainly have closed yourself off to a lot of wonderful people... I'm certain of that...

5'11" would be okay. However I'm not sure that this is that unhealthy a thing. Being attracted to people with anger management problems is unhealthy. Guys who are in prison for murder, that's unhealthy. But not having an immediate click, or ever having that click with a guy who's only 5'6" isn't in the same ballpark.

This is like me not eating green beans. I don't like them and I see no reason to try to learn to like them. I eat broccoli and zucchini and sweet red peppers and sugar snap peas. The lack of a green bean doesn't prevent me from having a healthy diet. Dating a guy who is within a couple of inches of 6' isn't that limiting that I'm unable to find a healthy relationship.

Besides, how long should one try when there isn't any chemistry? Isn't it more fair to not raise his hopes by being honest then to go to bed with him and never enjoy it? Or should I try to fake an orgasm with a guy who doesn't turn me on? Or should I limit myself only to dating guys who I won't invite home hoping in year or twenty I will want to invite one of them? That just seems crazy to me, to only pick guys who I won't be able to have a relationship with.

I wouldn't say this is unhealthy as perhaps shallow. But I'm not sure that's the right word either. This isn't something I choose, it's an atavistic reaction, that zing which makes a relationship worth while. There's an old line; sex is the glue that holds a marriage together. And I think it's true. It's hard enough to keep a healthy sex life going year after year, decade after decade. Starting with a bad sex life seems a set up for failure.

By your viewpoint, people wired for power relationships are 5% unhealthy because they won't do the work to prefer a power equal relationship instead. Or don't you extend it to that?

the above is what I thought was getting a little snippy and personal--perhaps I misinterpreted your intonation then

I don't think it really matters. ... There are many things that I do agree with you and Julia on.... this just ain't one of them.

I dated a guy in college a couple of times who was 6'5" and who was a great guy. He only dated very tiny girls, at 5'3" I was the tallest girl he had dated. He finally had to tell me that although he had tried, I just didn't do it for him. I was glad though, it's the first and only time in my life I've ever been too tall.

My daughter's 5'10" and very strong. She's only dated football players in college, because only guys taller and more powerful than her aren't intimidated by her height and strength. Training 1200 pound horses for a couple hours every day builds muscles.
