The reason I ask is that I recently dated a man who was a lot shorter than me - think by a foot.
It didn't bother me as otherwise I wouldn't of gone out with him but I think it bothered him as he was very insecure, jealous, controlling, egotistical. He didn't like it if I wore high heels or looked 'too nice' if we went out. I think he had a real Napolean complex I think.
I had previously dated someone who was only a tiny bit shorter than me (by maybe a cm) and again he had a real issue with it. I remember him once making us standing heel to head, backs up against each other with a book on our heads because someone had suggested that I was taller than him.
Is height a really big deal for men generally? I think it was for these two. I don't mind a man being shorter than me but I think I might be prejudiced against them now that I have dated a couple with such issues.
