It's more like girls don't dig for shorter men in general, and I-HAVE-TO-LOOK-LIKE-A-MAAN factor is a lot stronger in the US than in Japan. Whatever the case, I don't see many guys going out with women who are taller than them, or speak in a language that isn't their own (Non-English) to their partners here in the states ether. It all comes down to personal preferences I guess. I don't mind going out with a girl who is an inch or two taller than me but I don't think I'll be attracted to a girl who is 8" taller, like 6'4". Not like she would be to me of course. Anyway, as long as a girl is hot and has a good personality, height is pretty much the bottom of the list, I think for most guys.
