	Well, actually, I think I'd be a little uncomfortable going
out with a woman who was a lot taller than me (I'm 5'6"), although
the majority of my SO's have been a little bit taller than me (just
lucky, I guess :-)). At any rate, I've found a lot of women to prefer
men who are much taller than them; I remember seeing a personal ad once,
placed by a woman 5' tall who was looking for a man 6'+. This sort of
thing can make life frustrating after a while.

	There's a good book on this whole subject, called "The Height
of Your Life", by Ralph Keyes, in which he talks about the role that
height plays in American society. One chapter goes over how height and
romance mix (or don't mix, as the case may be). Interesting reading.
