    I'm 5'10, and with my heels, I was probably around 6'2-6'3.

    I really never had a problem with it because guys just assumed I was tall because of my shoes. That, and they loved the long legs.

    There were a few times when I'd be sitting with a guy, we'd get up to do a dance, and he'd be like, "omg, I didn't realize you were so tall". It never seemed to bother or turn anyone off though. (Plus, I always took my shoes off for dances...more comfortable for me..)

    I even danced for midgets before....seriously, who were like to my knee. Some guys like the whole amazon woman, giantess thing.

    I can only remember one time where a guy straight out told me that he preferred petite women and turned me down for a dance because of my height.

    I know every guy has their preference, and I'm sure there have been times where I was "too tall" for a guy, but I only have that one time where something was actually said in my 7 years of dancing.

    I'm 5'6-5'7 so I am not that tall but yes some men are intimidated by it. Most aren't though.

    I am 5'7 and with heels easily clear 6'1. I am Asian.

    The dancing world can be tough on one's self image. I too admit I feel awkward when I get turned away for being too curvy and tall. Most Asians are small and petite and that's what most dudes who are looking for "asian" want.

    But in day to day life I am not considered tall or too curvy. I am 5'7 tall 140 pounds 38DD-29-38.

    I have numerous tall & leggy friends who do really well in this industry, so I don't think customers are scared of them at all.

    I'm sure a small minority are intimidated. Some are straight up turned on by it and prefer supermodel-tall lean girls to more normal-looking figures. The rest - in a SC at least - are part intimidated and part 'Wow!That's hot!' at the Amazons towering over them.

    As for relationships though, unfortunately I know a lot of shorter guys with insecurities about height. My bf, for one. He's a few cm shorter when I'm in flats, and he finds it emasculating enough then. Even though I truly find his (lack of) height sexy. I love a 'compact' dude, especially with his broad shoulders. It's not a dealbreaker though. He grumps about when I wear heels, especially if it's not strictly necessary, like for a bar. But we have a laugh about it - there's no other option now that I often practice strutting around home in my stripper heels. He's so far away!

    End of the day, a good guy - or custy - won't dwell on it.

    I was going to post pretty much the same thing Avery said, except for the midget part!

    I love being tall, especially when I was dancing. 5'10 plus 7" heels! I feel that it made me stand out also.

    Just here to reiterate that most dudes either love tall girls with long legs (I always play them up on stage) or don't even notice the height. As long as you're confident about it and not self conscious (as with any other features) you should do fine. I've only ONCE had a customer say I was "too tall" but he still gave me money for table dances and paid me and another girl to do doubles for his friend. If anyone ever comments on your height negatively, just say it doesn't matter how tall you are when you're laying down. It'll get a laugh for sure.

    My BFF is also a dancer, we work together sometimes.....she's 6' WITHOUT shoes! So with them she's like 6'7".....guys eat it up. She makes jokes about it like, how guy's heads are perfect boobie height so she'll walk up to them and jiggle her boobies on their head and they love it. She cleans up.....one of the top earners. Sometimes the DJ will play the clip from Deuce Bigalow "That's a huge bitch!!" when she's stepping off stage and people love it.....they'll follow her to second stage and tip her enourmously.

    I think personality has alot to do with it. If my BFF wasn't a total silly goofball then she'd for sure be extremely intimidating.

    lol. this is a joke, right? tall, leggy girls do quite well in this industry. though, i guess some guys are intimidated, so intimidated they'll hand you their wallet.

    i never wanted to be taller when i was younger, but that changed when i became a stripper. very short girls can do well too. it seems the main liability is being average.

    Just don't go on stage with a shortie and you'll be fine (it'll make you both look bad)! Some guys loooove the tall thing, some guys loooove the short thing. I'm tiny and I'm certain I've been turned down because of that before. Super tall girls always seem to do really well from what I've seen. Variety is key in a SC.

    I can see why a taller woman can be intimidating but take that as a good thing. If you have long legs I am so jealous of you! Wish my legs were about 5 inches longer.

    I'm almost 5'10 and wear five or six inch heels- I get a lot of compliments on my long legs.

    Although I have danced for really short guys and they sometimes feel awkward about it, no one has ever complained or said they wouldn't get a dance with me because I'm tall.

    I love this secret about tall women from PostSecret- http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a7jkcMVp5V.../hotttshit.jpg

    I'm just guessing it only scares wimpy men. And there are probably those with a tall girl fetish, so like anything else, it's a matter of personal preference.

    I knew a girl who was black and FIERCE. She is 5'11" and always wore the most obnoxious 8 inch heels. She refused to back down about her height. She loved towering over 99% of the customers, cuz with the shoes she was like 6'6". But it's really awesome in my opinion. My friend at work is naturally 6'1" but because our stage is on the small side, she wears like 3 inch heels just so she can still do pole tricks. But she looks like she could be on a runway (and she should be IMO!) and she does the best of anyone at our club.

    I think it depends on the club or the area.In a club with mostly shorter girls,a taller one would seem even taller.I'm 5'9 w/o shoes,but sometimes people act as if they are looking at a giant,I wear 6,5 inch heels.
    Also,in some areas,like Manhattan,you'll see taller girls more often,maybe because of the modelling agencies around,dunno,but can change too.
    The ones that do react in a weird way are usually the cheapos,and this actually makes it easier to weed them out!

    ^^This is true about location! I've worked all over the eastern half of the country and I can tell you, while all areas have guys that like tall and others that like short. In the south, the majority of men seem to prefer short and curvy, the more rural you get, the truer this will be (although a tall girl will bank if she is one of the only ones in the club, cause again, everyone likes something different). Up North, like NJ, NY tall and thin rule, hell short and thin is okay, you just have to be rail thin (and in a lot of clubs have zero tits) unless you wanna work in a dive. If you are in an area that seems to prefer shorter girls, just shop around till you find a club that doesn't have many tall dancers and you'll still bank! When I was in NJ, I just found a club that didn't have many shorties, and guess what? I was the 2nd highest earner, in an area that prefers tall and rail thin (and I'm built like a mini Pamela Anderson). It really is all about the variety.

    As a tall and built woman (nearly 6'4" in heels), I can safely say it has no seemingly detrimental effect on how men view me. Every guy has their preferences obviously, and I tend to avoid the ones who would probably be squashed by my sheer enormousness. I get a lot of compliments on my height though, and I actually like the domineering effect it has (guys seem a lot less likely to f**k with me)

    Height isn't something we can change, so I say roll with it and play it up as part of your persona. I'm proud to be a gigantic glamazon woman!

    That's how is here in Virginia. The really hot dancers work in dives 'cause dives are into variety. All the nicer, upscale go go clubs are for tiny, waif chicks.
