I am 5′ 8′ and with heels that usually makes me about 5’11. Thats pretty close to 6′. There was a time in my life where I thought I was of average height, but since dating, I realize I’m actually above average. Especially when it comes to the height of the men I prefer. Like most women, I want to feel petite next to man, don’t want my ass to be twice the size and sure don’t want to feel like an amazon next to him that’s for sure. There’s nothing better than a tall hunky man that holds his arms around you that makes you feel safe and protected. So typically I am attracted to a man 6′ and over. I think women that are about 5’5" have it pretty good. They can feel comfortable dating a man who is let’s say 5’9" without a problem. I did a little research, on Wiki Answers, the average height for a man in the US is 5′ 10". Which means half are taller and half are shorter.
