Tall or short, which do guys prefer?

Are guys more attracted to petite or tall girls? I'm asking this because I'm only 5'2" and I was wondering if this affects the way other people see me. I think some people tend to treat me like a little kid (although they know I'm a teenager) just based on my height. I read somewhere that guys make themselves taller on online dating sites, and women make themselves shorter. Is it all just personal preference?

Okay, so if you were to meet me, based on my stature, what would be your first impression of me? I'm petite, curvy, and have big brown eyes.

I just want to hear some different opinions from other people.

I moved to eastern Asia two years ago, almost every girl here is short.
You can move here too, you won't feel strange.

Depends on the guy.

And my guy prefers girls that are shorter, and I am tall, so personality really is more important.

As a 5'1.5" female, I don't give a fuck what height people are. I do think they're lame if they're so insecure as to lie about it, though. I also think tall women who refuse to wear heels that they like because it will make them "too tall" are insecure. I think girls who refuse to date guys below a certain height are sexist and silly.

I'm 28 and get treated like a teenager. Welcome to the rest of your life. I hold out hope that I might be respected as an adult by the time I'm 50.

Science has proven that guys prefer shorter women. Shorter women have higher estrogen and are viewed as 'more attractive.'

I would prefer someone my own height but ultimately I wouldn't give a shit

Most of the short guys I have met constantly act like they have something to prove, or seem like they are angry at the world.

That reminds me of a character from the story Of Mice and Men.

I read that over 20 years ago. But you obviously get what I mean.

I don't mean guys who just aren't tall, but the ones who are definitely shorter than average for male.
