I am tiny and small. 5'0 even. A peanut. My first kiss was with a man who was 6'5. It was uncomfortable and awkward for both of us. We had to involve a small staircase to make it work.

Heh, well, to me (I'm 5'5"), it's not about being shorter than a girl, it's about being short in general. Every person I talk to, I'm thinking they don't take me seriously as an adult. And apparently I look young. The cashier at the convenience store told me I looked like I was 17. Which would be flattering, except I'm 24.

~6'4" or somewhere between 192 and 193 cm for our metric members. I also have really long arms, 6'7" between the tips of my middle fingers when I do the Jesus pose.
Mostly it's good. I almost always had the reach advantage when I practiced martial arts. Almost never get stuck behind someone taller at the movies.
Clothes can be a bit of a problem. I can usually find pants long enough because my legs aren't super long, but my torso is sometimes too long for shirts that are the right girth. Also I hit my head on things too much, and I'm top-heavy so kind of clumsy.
My GF is pretty short, like 5'2" IIRC. It's kind of amusing to see us together. I love her to death and think we're going to get married but if we ever do break up, I'm gonna make it a goal to get jiggy with a chick taller than me before I settle down again though. They're rare but do exist.

If you measure me in the morning right after I roll out of bed and before gravity gets a hold of my spine and shortens me up a little bit later in the day, I'm just over 6'6" without shoes, so I tell everybody I'm 6'7", they will then immediately claim that I'm neither TRUE nor HONEST, then they insist they measure me and sure enough, it's just at 6'7" in shoes every time.
Three of my last four sweetbolts were 5'2", 5'2" and 5'1", the third was 5'8", height isn't really a factor one way or the other in what I find appealing in general. When I consider that the average US male is 5'10" tall, it makes me laugh that somewhere out there there's a 5'1" guy bringing the average down to normal to counterbalance me, then I think about how my dad is 6'4" and brother is 6'5" and uncle is 6'7" and laugh because that means you've got another 5'1" guy out there mad at a pair of guys who are all of 5'3" and 5'4" for taking all the height and leaving him none.
American culture definitely fetishes height in men in general, along with several other specific characteristics between both genders, I find, and kids love to ask me if I can dunk a basketball. (At one time yes, not since knee reconstructive surgery on my dominant leg though anymore, it's all jumpers and body positioning for rebounds since then to be effective.) It never really struck me that I was 'tall' until I came home from Pop-Warner football practice one day when I was around ten, then my dad asked me if I was the tallest player on the team again and I said yeah, but only by about a head over everybody, not that much. He took a straight edge ruler and held it up to my head, showed it to me that it was the entire foot length in measurement and just kind of raised his eyebrows as the realization sunk in that I was at least about a foot taller than all my teammates.
In high school it was really apparent when I would walk in the halls between classes and only see an expanse of other students' hair all jumbled together around chest height and at the end of the hall coming the other way was our basketball team's 6'4" all-state forward's face peaking unobstructed over the rest of the hall traffic and we'd kind of share a laugh with a shrug when we'd make eye contact on a different level of altitude from the rest of our classmates. I can't even stand up in the first floor above ground basement of my house because there's not enough room for me to and also hit my head in the loft in the living area easily as well. I also have concussed myself mildly in door frames when entering and leaving a house a few times and good luck finding a car that I don't have to contort at least mildly to be able to comfortably sit in.

I am 5'9''. I don't find height a very important factor when it comes to getting a boyfriend-free girl, but I wouldn't date extremely short or extremely tall girls.
I think it would be cute to find a girl a little shorter than me, but overall, height is not a very important factor to me.

I'm 5' -5'1'', about to turn 21 in a few weeks, and because I'm physically skinny I get mistaken for a highschooler. It bugs me because I get mistaken as the little sister when I'm with my sibling (even though I'm the oldest). But I get away with alot of stuff like being weird at malls because people think I'm a weird teenager.
My honeybunches of oats is 5'10-5'11 and is all leg. (like a flamingo) and he finds it fun to pick me up because I'm short, so I guess thats another good thing.

Lots of interesting replies here, so thanks guys. From what i'm reading, it's pretty much what i thought; yeah... it kinda matters, but not really (and not nearly as much as a lot of other things), and mostly only to you.

My dad was nearly a foot taller than my mom. I'm 5'9" and fell nicely inbetween. I can easily pop up to six feet in heels and am really happy with my height. I once dated a guy who was 7'3" so really high heels were no problems in those days.

I'm 6'3". Compared to my Dad's family, I'm a fucking giant as he's the tallest man in the family and he's 5'8". Both his ex-wife and his current wife are taller than him, so Some JERK's friend's bitching about height is meaningless. (Hint: He's probably a virgin-with-rage because of his shitty personality.)
Personally, I find short women absolutely adorable. I'm going on a trip in a week and a half and I'm picking up a girl who is 5'. Her boyfriend isn't pleased. And he'll probably be livid if he found out that we want to do acid together, so yeah.

Good to know I'm not the only 5'4 - 5'5 guy here. Height differential isn't really an issue for me, I've dated some taller girls before including the one I'm seeing now, albeit she's just a smidge taller than me. I will say that it kinda sucks being short when you're a guy, though. People will either automatically assume you've got a Napoleon complex, or they won't take you seriously, or they'll, for whatever reason, just assume your height is fair game for teasing, which I can deal with usually, but shit like "C'MON SHORTY, REACH FOR IT" gets really old after awhile.
