I am 5'6"
I have never dated a girl shorter than me, most are near my height but usually just barely taller, as in maybe 1/2" or so. a few who have liked me have been a good 3-4" taller, but having the same girlfriend for a long time, I didn't date them. I don't think it matters that much what someone says about height, if they really like the person or think they are hot, height is only part of the equation and can be overlooked (har har - pun intended).
