Ladies, have you ever dated a shorter guy? Guys, have you ever dated taller? If you haven't, our friends at How About We have come up with 7 reasons why you should. Here are four of our favorites.

katie holmes tom cruise

1. "Handsome doesn’t have a height requirement. Seriously, a good face and hot body looks just as good at 5'7" as it does at 6'3," they claim. This is true ... but you also have to look down to see him.

2. "Maybe you’re not a supermodel, but you’ll certainly get to feel like one when you go out with him in heels," they argue. Who wouldn't want to feel like Katie Holmes standing next to Tom Cruise once in a while?

3. "A short guy willing to go out with a girl who’s taller than he is is confident and probably ok with his girlfriend upstaging him. He’s not too hung up on appearance or machismo. This is a good quality to have in a boyfriend." Agreed.

4. "Uhm, you say Napoleon Complex like it’s a bad thing? Guys with Napoleon complexes are ambitious, capable and driven: they also have learned how to command respect through means other than appearance, all admirable traits." This appears to be true ... some of the shortest guys we've known have been the hardest working.

The truth is, a few inches really shouldn't make a difference, and can even look kind of sexy. And ladies, have you really met so many great guys that you're willing to overlook (pun intended) shorter studs?

    Mind if I "cut in" here? At 6 feet 2 inches tall, I'm sure that I can more than match any lady out there.

    That's fine. I don't know what the future may bring so who knows, I could change my mind. However, the choice is mine to make...everyone has a different opinion on what physical attributes they find attractive or unappealing.

    Yeah I'm not super tall, only about 5'8", but I do like to be able to feel "feminine" compared to the guy which I don't feel I can get with someone smaller than me.

    Does it really matter? If you're attracted to someone, you're attracted to them (tall or short).

    "Should" they? What are you, the dating police? These surveys are sometimes the stupidest non-questions.

    As long as "shorter" doesn't mean 6'0 like myself... Picture a couple of kids: their size never matter because they're all short and cute!

    Plus, there are *many* actual physical issues with the woman being even slightly bigger than man, sex-wise, that I won't get into detail... And most of them don't happen when men are bigger. Some natural things have their good reasons.

    I dated a guy who was about one centimeter taller than me, but I liked him so much I barely even noticed.

    We might all have preferences before the fact, but as everyone knows, we don't pick love--love picks us.

    If she doesn't mind looking down on him, who am I to judge? Short men need love too. ;-)

    Never have dated shorter myself. NOT interested.

    Ladies, this is New York City and getting a man is a rarity! You better snatch him up when you can - tall, short, fat, thin, rough and tough and strong and mean...

    I never have and doubt I ever will.I'm just too tall to do so. I really like the ability of looking a paramour directly in the eye when toe to toe...or other position..

    I respect your position; but in NYC women need to get it where they can - there are too many women to compete with to be overly picky - job, straight, and disease free are the only qualities that need to matter!

    I respectfully disagree. At least 50% of the men I've dated either live in the city or live here and work there.A friend yesterday tried to fix me up with a model/actor (lives here -works there).i'm not interested but I'd be happy to pass him along to you.If interested I'll let you know where to find his pics

    6'3" It's not nuts, but I'm usually one of the taller guys in the room.
    If I'm not, I'll be quite honest, it creeps me out.

    lol. It's tall but not out of this world tall. That's good.
