And you are right, finding someone like that reveals a lot about their character. Kate P.S. The "shock and awe" approach is pretty funny :) Hi Jheri,

If you are close to the average male height there are still a lot of guys who will be taller and you might be choosey. There are so many reasons why you may want to go out with a guy or not, adding this may not make a huge difference. At my height only a few percent of guys are taller than me. If I limit myself to this group, there is very few that will have the other traits that I like. Fewer than 1 in 5000 guys is as tall as my friend, so she either has to focus on tall clubs or basketball players if she wants taller. Both of us gave up on that sort of thing. I think when you are taller than most adult males when you are 12, you develop a different outlook. I've seen some who are always hunting for that prince charming and either not finding him or settling for a guy who is mr trouble. I won't say I totally ignore height. I'm partly deaf and someone who is shorter or taller by a head is difficult for me to understand when we are walking. But there are a lot of guys who are taller than a head below me. A bigger problem is finding guys who don't mind a taller girl. Much of my dating isn't formal dating, but just going out as friends. The ones that are good sometimes develop into something deeper. That is a better approach for me that the "shock and awe" approach, which is what a friend calls me on a blind date. If a guy can put up with a few stares and strange comments, it usually says something good about him. I guess you could try hanging around certain types of athletes:-)
