I am 6'4" and I have to think that my height DID attract my super spicy brown girl - who is a petite 5'2"! Yeah, a 14 inch difference between us. The other day a colleague walking out of work while we were walking in stopped, looked at us, and said "You two look funny! I never see you both together!"
Funny how little height seems to matter to guys, though, right? I don't remember ever hearing a guy friend say a girl needs to be tall or short to get his attention.
Tall guys DO have a little bit of an edge, I think, when it comes to first attraction. Being the tallest person in the room is a very noticeable trait.
