In sort of the same vein as you, I'm a tall girl with the expectation of dating an even taller man. I'm 6'1" and I've dated guys 5'6" or shorter. I've also dated guys taller than me. But when I was with the shorter guys I actually had people tell me I should be dating guys my height. If it doesn't matter to me or the guy, why should it matter to anyone else?
It is so primitive though. As a species we have gone way past size being a necessary factor in selecting a partner. Within limits obviously. Being 2ft or 8ft obviously can possibly lead to health complications. Not to say that people even at those extremes are undateable but height definitely does factor in at that point. But people finding value in mere inches of height is crazy. A guy that is 5'6 is short, 5'10 is tall "enough". Yet it is 4 inches of difference. That is around the size of a GI Joe figure or something lol. Who cares?
