Height is the most important physical caracteristic for woman.
If you are really short they doesnt care about any other good caracteristic that you have, you are out.
END.
who would date a girl first?
1-brad pitt face with 5foot height.
2-adrien brody ( ugly man with 6foot 1)
END.
what kirp1 is trying to explain, it's that height is the only physical characteristic, which you can't change, that can be considered as unacceptable for a romance with a woman.
I would like to add than when you ask a girl to describe the perfect man, she always, or atleast in 50 % of the cases, to mention his stature.

Yes unfortunately height is an important part of our attractivness. Obviously it isn't the most important but if you are too far out of the average range it will be an issue more or less.
Also I think we can all agree that it is very benificial to be tall, i.e more than 7CM above the average height.
7 cm above the national average height feels good, really. Good enough to feel tall.
7 cm above the youth average (if there is such a thing. like a broken tape recorder, I saw the pdf files of western countries. youth height = national average), feels great, divine in fact. I think the youth in my country is 175 cm average (but again, I repeat, this is perception. doesn't agree with statistics).So for me I guess 182 cm is great.
As your country average is higher, the no. of cm might be smaller. ie, maybe 5 cm above youth average of 180 cm is already tall, instead of 7 cm. (cf: another shorter country)
As you get taller, the returns diminish.
so 189 cm is perfect in Sweden
in my coutry (france) it's 187 cm

Would say 191-2CM is pretty much perfect, but that's just my opinion.
Can't say anything about france though.

100% this. It's when you're far out of the range of "average" (super short or super tall) that your height will really negatively impact your life. This also goes for men who are too tall.

You are correct sir. I found a study a while ago that polled college girls on "average attractiveness score based on height". 5' 11" to 6' had the highest average score, while below 5' 7" and above 6' 5" were relatIvely low. Let's not forget though, that the 6 5" guys are rare, and the 20% of girls who want them will be like leeches.

Exactly as I thought. And we have to account for the fact that, even though girls SAY 5'11-6' is most attractive, they can't tell visual height down to the exact inch (unless they themselves are very tall women), so even 5'9-5'10 guys can almost be in this "ideal" range. It's when you're under 5'7" (especially if you're stocky/fat/too built) that you start to appear very short. So I'm very happy at 5'8", even if I'm a pinch under, because I feel like in more of "safe" range (especially considering the other things I have going for me).
