I had stopped dating short guys after a series of short men mistreated me. I had noticed that they seemed not to like MY height. I'm usually 5'8.5". I shrunk recently to 5'6". After seeing a chiropractor, I'm back over 5'7". (Never ignore chronic pain!) After a while, height became sort of a fetish for me, and I exclusively dealt with men over 6'2". Those men liked that I was tall, and I was really comfortable with them. Since, I've given a few short guys a chance, being disappointed only once, and his height wasn't the problem. None of the short guys I went with gave me any static about my height. They didn't even care if I wore heels. A comedian even gave one a high five during a show because I was several inches taller, and have (as revealed by the jokester's questions) a tattoo that has to do with the Egyptian God Horace, who is kind of a phallic figure in mythology. The comedian said, "Dude. And YOU conquered that?" *high-five* I wouldn't have called myself a THAT, and I wouldn't have considered myself conquered (more like someone whoseattention and affections had been won for the short-term), but the point of the joke was not lost on us.
My current dude is probably 5'6". The last time we were able to be together in person (long distance relationship) his family noted that I was taller than he is, but when I face him, I feel like we are the same height. Since then, the chiropractor has stretched me back out some, as I noted earlier. I love how close in height we are. It feels novel after so many years of extreme differences in size between my partners and I. Most of all, I love how our bodies fit together when he holds me while we sleep. I love how it feels like we envelope each other when we make love all wrapped around each other. Really tall men still catch my eye when I'm out and about, but that's all they catch. Someone else already captivated everything else that matters.
A lot of factors govern attraction. Height is only one, and there are always those who will want exactly what you bring to the table, including your height, regardless of whatever that height actually is.
