Wouldn't this really vary depending on the guys height?
5'8" t0 5'5" works great for me but thats just my pref.

Too short a woman, and I gotta throw out my back to kiss her. Sorry, if she isn't tall enough, I'm gonna have to carry around one of those stools they use to board trains. And that's a hassle.

j/k

I would like a woman to be in the 5'8" - 5'10" range, but I'm willing to be really "flexible" on this one.

I'm 6'2, maybe taller, so atleast 5'8 but preferably 5'11.

I chose 5'1", but really my wife is my ideal woman and she is only 5'0".

On a side note, I don't know why, but I know a lot of women under 5'.

It's also funny that every woman under 5'4" usually adds a 1/2" to their height if you ask them. My wife won't tell you she's 5', she'll say 5' 1/2".

search for "162 cm in inches" => 63.7795276 inches, divide by twelve, round down, gets 5'4".

Gotta go with 6'2" - just tall enough to only need to tip up her chin to kiss her. Three of my girlfriends have been shorter than 5'8", and I become a teddy bear.

Being a taller guy (6'4"), I have always dated and am attracted to shorter women. All have been under 5'4". I just think that a taller guy with a shorter girl "looks" good.

i've always dated "shorter" women (by chance), but never really let "height" be a factor in determening wether i wanted to be with someone.

but being 6'2" myself, i always wondered what it would be like to get with a girl almost my size. a couple of weeks ago i "accomplished" this for the first time. it was really really cool!

Perfect height, I'm 2"-3" taller than her unless she wears heels.

For me the least would be 6'. It always reminds me of my Junior year in high school. My English/drama/speech teacher said "you tall guys always marry those short girls and leave nothing for us." "If you marry a short girl, I will kill you." Well she would be happy my wife is 6' 1".

Depends on the size of the bed.

I have a King size bed. Actually wish is was longer than 80". Still much better than the twin I grew up with. Now I'm used to sleeping with my legs folded some.

I'm 5'2 1/2. Most of the guys I've dated are pretty tall. I guess I like to be with a guy who makes me feel even shorter. My boyfriend is around 5'9", which is shorter then usual for me, but its a perfect match. I can wear whatever shoes I like and still be way shorter. It works well.

Short girls rock. We do, we do.

That is nice to hear sweatervest. In college I was computer matched to a girl that was 5' 2". It was for a mixer. We had a lot in common, so the computer did a good job. Dated her a couple of times. Thought the height bothered her.
