Because we are talking about the height: I like taller women because I am tall, too. But some tall women are moving kinda spider-like; that is something that is not esthetic. So if the movement is a bit cat-like and self-conscious, everything is ok.
But, as Irish said, the person is the important part (although I always like looking, too).
