I'm sorry y'all. I'm 5'5.5". I cannot date, nor do I find myself interested in, a man shorter than 6'2". I find myself interested in two men, and it was their height that pulled me in. I just feel safer with a larger and taller man.
It's hard for a man to get my attention, but I eventually found myself attracted to two men. One is a US Army officer who stands 6'4" and the other is an IT person who stands 6'7". I ended up dating the latter.
They've both hugged me and I felt very safe from the hugs! The Army officer has muscles bulging through his uniforms! The other dude is just HUGE! Their hugs made me feel safe and protected, like if we're out and about and some sort of physical altercation occurs from some out-of-the-way man, both these men would be able to protect me.
For me it's a matter of personal security. I MUST feel safe with my man.
I could apologize for not leaving the taller men for the taller women, but let's be real here. I refuse to apologize because men want who they want and it has very little to do with us.
Initially, a man is attracted to a woman's physical characteristics. That means they are attracted to a woman of a certain height and a certain weight as are we women towards men. That's what pulls them into us.
My late husband was 6' tall and he and I were very much in love for the duration of our marriage. His height was of no significance to me. However, I have evolved and when I started dating, I'd get irritated when a mean under 6'2" would approach me.
I used to work in advertising, a male dominated environment. Customers respond positively to taller and more attractive males. They are more successful in the industry. What I witnessed in the industry is that shorter men more often that not, carried a bit of resentment...felt threatened over the success experienced by the taller, more attractive males.
Then I learned that this applies in life, more often than not. Shorter men behave aggressively, whether active of passive, as if they must prove that short men have it 'going on' too. They often have a level of insecurity in the presence of taller men.
I could go on about what I've seen over the 51 years I've been on the Earth. ...like when I grew up some of the shorter men's insecurities caused them to be physically and/or emotionally abusive to their women.
But since this post is already too long, I'll end it here LOL!
Love to all my sistahs!
. When a slim woman is with a shortish man it often makes her look modelesque when in heels and in some cases receiving more attention as a trophy. The short man gets increased status because he managed to pull a long legged beauty. It's kinda mutually beneficial for some, in terms of ego boosts anyway.
forgive me for thinking that a man who contacts me on a dating site is interested in dating.....I have no interest in diluting this Amazonian gene pool I'm working with over here 
. I did feel kinda bad for him though.
