i measure 5'8" which i consider to be at the bottom end of average height. the other day my friend was showing me the personal pages he was looking through on a website and i couldn't believe what i saw.... 90% of all the adds were asking for a guy to be taller than 6 feet. this is including the ad's from girls who were short, from 4'11" to 5'2"! now before anyone brings it up i understand the angles of caveman kind of instinct/father figure psychology and i understand the whole "i've to to do a projection equation for when i go out in high heels" angles on the topic. i also understand wanting someone close to your height if you're a girl and you're taller than 6 feet yourself. but heres what i was wondering....

1) why do you think this discrimination is coming from short girls? isn't having a guy thats half a foot taller than you enough to slow dance with and feel masculinely embraced and safe? do you really wear heels often enough that it's worth cutting the entire 5'8 - 5'10 bracket out?

2) how many of you girls have gone out with shorter guys? how did that work for you?

3)it's a little more common, but i'd also like to hear from guys who dated taller girls. i've done so myself and it went off without a hitch. i loved it and still am attracted to girls that seem to be too tall for some of my friends.
