Well, I know and knew women who went by a list, i.e. Irish, Catholic, professional, athletic, reasonably good looking, is one list I remember very well bkz it was so specific. Tall was probably in there, but she had to compromise there.
It struck me then and now as so cold...
For me, it was, as we say in Italy, like "un colpo di fulmine", like getting hit by lightning. We had a tempestuous relationship, broke up, got back together, and ultimately got married. That's my only experience of "falling in love" and I never had a checklist or anything like it, so, I'm no help on this matter.
Oh, I'm 5'6 and he's 6' tall, tall enough for a perfect dance partner even if I'm wearing heels, as I always was, so that worked out, but I doubt it would have mattered if he were 5'9 or whatever. Above a certain height it always seemed to me that most men got a little uncoordinated. Not good dancers, anyway, which I was happy to find was not an issue.
I have experienced both, women who were very superficial and interested in a tall men and then the ones who just didn't care. Where the "need" for a tall man comes from?... I guess it has to do with the most primal instincts in all of us? The best hunter ensuring our lines continue.
None of us can control what turns us on... BUT... I always like indifference as it indicates evolutionary flexibility if you will. As in: "I prefer tall, BUT... how important is it really?"
