Both of my wife and ex-wife are around 5'-5'2". Although I dated taller women as tall as 5'8" , perference is for more a shorter woman.
I'm 6'5 and my wife is 5'9". That said, I've dated many short/petite women. As far as body type is concerned, fitness is more important to me.
So much BS in this thread! Height does not matter you say?
Well, I was passed over many times for no prettier girls. At least some men tell me I am attractive and all the parts go together OK.
In my younger year's the word got back to me many times so and so would be interested except for your height.
Then I met the pick of the male litter in my University and at 6'4" almost 6'5" he does not have any problem with my height. In recent years more mature men do not seem to mind either.
You can understand just how a tall girl appears to the average man when she is 5'11" and always wears heel when going out of the house.
Someone shorter than me?! I just wanna adore her, hug her, and if she's shorter than me it'd be romantic!
Wilt Chamberlain should have an interesting perspective, but most folks will have a limited experience with enough short/tall people to make any sort of intelligent response.
Height is WAY down the list of qualities......I wouldn't probably get all hot and bothered by a dwarf, but that's just me.
It does not matter to me how tall or short she is..
Speaking a guy of average height, a lot of the girls I've been attracted to are taller than me. Ultimately though it doesn't matter, I don't feel threatened by kissing a girl who I'm shorter than, or being in bed with her. That being said, there's something insanely comforting about being able to rest your chin on top of a girl's head when you're hugging her. It's the simple pleasures in life.
There are a lot more critical factors before height for me
I am 6' in my stocking feet. Given that I am usually wearing something like a 2-3" heel (clogs or low heels), I am not exactly petite.
The range of men attracted to me seems to run the gamut, and I'm not sure why. Certainly it took me a while to accept my height, but now I am quite comfortable with it, and my own confidence probably contributes to the overall attractiveness scale.

I love tall women, especially if they have great legs.
I am a fan of tall women.
They can only be taller if they give me sexy piggy back rides.
Addendum. Who wouldn't mind dying by snusnu?
I've dated women as short as 5'2" quite happily, and hit on women over 6' (unsuccessfully, I'm afraid). Given a magic wand (no, not that one, you pig), I'd probably be with a taller woman; really tall women are really hot. But I'm pretty happy with the right lass regardless of her height.
OK, back to work...
I am 6'5". My first wife was 5'7" and my current wife is 5'5". Height is not an issue.
