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.
