Well, I get a sore neck from shorter companions.. If someone is more than 6 inches shorter than you some serious bending over is required. After a long time with someone a foot shorter than I, a taller companion might just give me back my posture. ( And give me someone I can look up to ). What annoys me is when a ( gorgeous ) female who is my height or 1-2 inches shorter craves someone 'noticeably taller'. Maybe girls get used to going out with taller males, especially since males are usually taller. The 'average female' is going to be shorter than the 'average male'. How this relates to height preference, I don't know. What does anyone think about going out w/MOTOS who are the SAME height, not taller or shorter? It is perhaps the case that our culture prefers the tall, for no sane reason. Tall often seems equated with beauty ( i.e. most models are tall ). The real question is, when you add height, do you add beauty? eric
