As an exotic dancer, I know this because I wear high heels. I try not to wear super-high ones, only because I’m afraid I’ll break my neck. But even the 4 or 5 inch ones prompt a lot of questions from any guy under six feet about how tall I am without the shoes. What they seem to really want to know is: am I taller than they are? And my answer to that is: who cares? It’s really not all that important.In general for women, having a tall man is not the be-all-and-end-all of existence. Personally, although I tend to go for tallish guys because I’m tall myself, a guy being short is not a “deal-breaker” for me. I have fallen in love with guys of all different heights.I was just reading recently that the average height for a man is something like 5'8". I would have thought it would be taller. So there ya go. The average guy is not that tall by American standards.And then there are the women who prefer a shorter guy. Usually because they’re shorter themselves. Or, not. My partner in crime, Lila, seems to be taller than her guy, and I’ll bet that hasn’t hampered their relationship at all!So, what to do if you consider yourself to be “short” for a man and you have a problem with that? Practice loving yourself just as you are. A short man is no less lovable than a tall one. And if it helps, realize that women in general don’t really care all that much. We’d rather have a man that’s honest and fun any day over a man with a certain height. Reply to this Article

bootydoctors is verified as being by the original poster of the question Dear Sammi Star,
I think we all tend to think this way-that men should be taller than women, because it's what we've been socially conditioned to believe. But we here at the Booty Doctors are here to question every supposed truth that we've learned and see if we want to learn something different. Sounds like you did, and it's working out well for you!

 Great article :) You're right, we spend too much time worrying over height issues...and I'm so guilty of it lol. When I was single and dating I was very picky and refused to consider guys that weren't taller than myself. Then I got with my partner who is the same height as me and fell so head over heels for him that his height seemed the least important thing in the world! However, I won't wear heels when I'm out with him as I hate to be taller than he is, not quite sure why, just the way I feel!

 hehe ... i never thought there would be men who think that way maybe because I'm not that short but my problem is a little different ... its not about how tall that's bugging me :S anyways I'm sure that your thought did make many men who are worried about their vertical measure feel better xD and thank you for sharing ...
