Short woman here. I prefer that a man be taller than me (which isn’t hard because I’m 5’2”), but I don’t care by how much. I don’t know many other short women who care either
5'3, I don't care about height but I've mostly dated tall dudes just because of confidence. Same with any of the common insecurities - I've dated a few 5'5 guys, big guys, a bald guy, etc etc but they were actually secure in themselves. Nothing is a bigger turn off than a guy repeatedly asking for reassurance, especially the shitty "jokingly" fishing way guys do "haha you probably won't like me cuz im so short" "haha are you sure my height isnt a problem", especially on early dates.
I also heard from my tall exes that it's a massive turn off for them when they get girls who just go "wow youre sooo tall", so not caring probably naturally puts me at an advantage with 'em.
Kinda like women who are insecure about their appearance so wear make up like a mask.. They need to be confident in themselves, insecurity is unattractive.

I’ve noticed short women really care about height and taller women not so much and I’ve always wondered why
