Really depends on a lot of things but generally I've found more taller men attractive than shorter ones

How short? I’d rather date someone my height or taller. So if he is shorter than me it’s an easy answer the tall one

It can do. Depends on the person. My dad is short and he's never had problems. All three of my mums husbands have been shorter than her

I never took height into consideration, had a bf much taller than me, had a bf shorter than me, my husband is a tad taller than me.

I'd pick the funnier guy.

No, in all my romantic experiences, I never considered height an important thing. I am aware ofcourse that for a lot of people height is an important consideration, but I could never really get why so many are so hanged up about it. Looking back at all the boys (when I was a girl myself) and men who provoked my interest, only one was much taller than me. Others were similar height, one was shorter. I have to say I am short myself though.

For the second question, I am already married, so I would imagine this scenario with the version of myself before I met my now husband.

I don't think it's possible for me to like two people exactly equally. I would most certainly have a preference among the two, but most important consideration for me would be how virtuous my 'candidates' are, and how much our worldviews and wishes for the future align. It is hard to imagine that both men would be exactly the same in this. But if you really insist they are both exactly the same apart from the height, and they both equally satisfy the criteria I listed, I would probably choose the shorter one - it would be easier to kiss him whenever I want lol (as I am short myself, it would be easier to reach his face).

Probably depends on the person but to me I prefer taller men

Of course height is important to most women. But it really depends on her other deal breakers imo. I prefer 5'8 or taller myself. But when I was on the dating apps, I looked at whether or not the guy had kids before anything else.

Lets say two men that are 5'8 and 5'11 are interested in me. They both are childfree, equally attractive, and have the same personality type- Of course I'm picking the 5'11 man.

Lets say there are two different men, one who is 5'9 and the other is 6'2. Same as the example above, only the 6'2 guy has kids and the 5'9 guy doesnt. I'm picking the 5'9 guy without a second thought.

Mostly people just don't want to tell you it's hopeless, because it's not hopeless but it definitely is harder.

Height isn't a requirement for me but i think it is more common to find tall men attractive in general. It's easier for short men to come off as child like, depending on the features, which is a hard thing to get past.

If it's between the two men it probably ends up being the one i get attached to first. Typically taller men have more confidence and move things along faster but there are exceptions. Some of my most intense crushes have been on short men but I've found it harder to get it going anywhere due to their lack of confidence. One of the most sexually successful men I've dated was short, but he has quite a bit of confidence and nothing about him comes off as child like.
