Most of the guys I have been involved with have been over 6' tall and I've never gone out with a "short" guy (take that anyway you want). I just find the extreme height difference to be a pain in the neck (literally) sometimes. It would be nice to just be able to lean over and give him a kiss while were standing up with out having to ask him to bend down or go stand by the stairs.
