But I'm open to dating a shorter man, if he is awesome in other ways. I dated a guy who was 5'7, last year, briefly, and he was great. He would have made a wonderful long term mate, but my heart wasn't in it, for other reasons.
How is this a double standard though? Just as many men discriminate their women based on height? Some men will only date women built like models, whereas other men wouldn't even consider a tall woman because they want to feel dominant.
Will, just because you and I are cool with height, doesn't mean that its equally discriminated against by men and women equally. Hardly a "double-standard."
