Hi there. Height is not at all important.
5 foot 10 is a pretty good height for a man, it's about average.
The most attractive thing about a man is his personality, sense of humour and his smile.
Also, how you both get along with each other, this is what makes a relationship good.
Height is pretty irrelevant in the general scheme of things.

Women trip over their own feet in lust for the tall guys and run to the hills in disgust to avoid the short guys. Height is the one universal trait a guy must have or he's SOL in the dating world. Those women who say height doesn't matter are just lying to sound less shallow, and this is coming from experience. Sure, there's girls who pretend to be exceptions to the norm, but by choice they know they would choose the taller man. I'm every bit of good looking, physically fit, educated and ambitious. None of this matters to women when you stand 5'5.

Height is NOTHING when a girl gets to know you. I thought I would never like someone shorter than me. But I was proven SO wrong. I fancy a guy so much I almost fall over when I see him, and he is half a foot shorter than me! Really, women say they prefer men taller than themselves, but what they really mean is they hope they fall for someone taller than them - because they're scared of what people would think of them if they go round with shorter guy. To tell the truth I don't even take a second glance when I see the woman taller than the man in a couple. Have no fear!!!! XD I fancy quite a few guys who are shorter than me (oh and don't lose faith - I'm not being vain but I am good looking and popular, you're not going to have flocks of girls you don't want. Oh and I'm also nice :) I'm a mentor and I participate in cake sales etc etc. I love my life :P )
Just be confident and you'll have no trouble. You're not short anyway. I'm considered tall and I'm only 5'5. It's the heels!!! Just imagine the girl you like without those heels she's wearing! She's probably shorter than you.
Hope this helps
Kazz.

 Where the hell did you hear that?
If that were true then over population wouldn't be a problem. Girls aren't that shallow that they won't notice a winning personality in a small body?
My boyfriend is 5'4" and I fell for him almost as soon as I met him =]

i'm actually 14 years old, and i am 5,10"
If i could choose, i would prefer a tall guy,
but its personality that really counts.
I've been out with a guy way smaller than me before, but i didnt mind. Just have confidence in yourself x

 My boyfriend is about 5'5" or 5'6". Anyway, we're almost idendical in height. It doesn't bother me at all, obviously. In fact, I almost prefer it that way. We're on the same level and I don't have to crane my neck to talk to him:) Plus, super tall people freak me out...I feel like I'm going to get stepped on.

How you're built can make a big difference too. There's only about 1" difference between me and my friend, but people always describe me as "tall" and him as more like "medium height" just because we're shaped much differenlty. My shape kind of exaggerates my height and his does not.

 I think if you run into girls who are only concerned about a guys height you are looking at the WRONG girls.
I might have a preference to guys who is taller then myself, but I did date a guy (we dated almost 5 years) who was the same height as myself, 5 foot 7. I don't think it was the height that made me interested, it was his personality, sense of humor....

 I am dating a man who is 5"8, and we are very happy together (I'm 5"2). I also know plenty of my friends who have boyfriends under 6ft. Generally as long as you are taller than the girl (you wont have a problem with this as not many girls are 5"10+) then you are fine. Some girls like short guys, some like tall guys, some really dont care. Height really is not that important to most girls, and everyone is different so what might be one girl's type wont be the same for another girl.
You really dont need to worry about this!
