Height has rarely ever been an issue for me. I am 5’11.5”, and there have been maybe 2 or 3 times where a woman (under 5’3”), had issue that I was 6’1”. I’ve dated some slightly taller women. I suppose if I was less attractive in the face, or if I didn’t hit the gym so often, I would run into issues. But, 99.99% of the time, my height has never been an issue.
Everyone is entitled to their preferences. I can say the only 2 or 3 women that had an issue with my height (not really an issue just an, “I thought you’d be taller” meetup kind of thing), were not in my league in the looks department. So, I think it’s more of an insecurity thing. Kind of like those guys who always want to be seen with a super model, but don’t want to be seen with the thick girl that they actually like.
Money or not, height isn’t a huge dealbreaker for many women, unless you are 5’8” or something.
