I always find it amazing how different people can be. You're 5'6", and wouldn't date a guy under 6'. My wife is 6', and married 5'1" me. Her father who's 6'6" or 6'7" still suspects that I'm "ethnic".
Thats wonderful...we all have our preferences in life, preferences as to who we would date or not date...even tho I am a blond, I dont believe I ever dated a guy who was blonde...I just preferred 'dark' men...
My very tall son, usually dates gals who are under 5'3"...that is just how it works out with him...
