i don't know why not. but ultimately, it depends upon the girl. and the guy. i'd have happily thrown out my "preferences" for someone who forced me to re-think/re-consider the ideal.
as a girl who's in the "taller" range (5'8") my first serious boyfriend was exactly my height, and i dated guys (briefly who were close to my own height. the problem i grew to have with guys around my height were their own issues and insecurities with it. for example, that boyfriend would always whine about my heels and heeled boots, which seemed so silly and petty.
as a side note, i think a guy who has the confidence to date a woman who is his height or even taller attractive. because i've come to believe that it's not usually the height issue that bothers the majority of women, it's the insecurity and other issues that accompany guys who are bothered by it and make it known.
also, i have had a couple girlfriends who were in the 6 foot range and i think they were a little more realistic about guys and height, seeing slight-ish differences as no big deal. in fact my 6'1" girlfriend married a guy who i think is a couple inches shorter than her.
finally, i've noticed that so much of this issue about height expectations is largely about their own security or other things that are highly personal. often, women look to men's heights as a reflection upon their own femininity. i've seen girls who are both short and taller than average allow this quality to shape their preferences. the more mature/secure the woman is, the less likely i would expect her to care about minor differences in height. it's a whole different story when you've got differentials of greater than 5-6% or so.

One of my coworkers is a few inches taller than me. She's rather attractive too. But given the circumstances, I can't just walk up to her and ask her out. I just assume that she is married or otherwise taken.
Plus, office romances are kinda frowned upon and I don't want to go down that slippery slope............
