I'm 5'8" and dated a guy who was 1/2 Caucasian 1/2 Chinese who was also 5'8". He was fairly slender (135 lbs) as most Asian guys are, and we could basically wear each others clothes (I'm ~125 lbs). He was a great guy and I was really attracted to his personality, but I have to admit that I did have a negative visceral response to being the same size as him. It also didn't help that he was kind of a momma's boy, and I ended up feeling like the dude in the relationship. But from that I discovered that I want to be with someone taller than me, even if it's by 1". It feels like it's just hard-wired in me.

What gives, here? It's not like someone two inches taller than you will be able to protect you better than someone two inches shorter. Yet, you almost never see any female "with" a shorter male. Short guys date even shorter girls. Yes, there are exceptions, such as your Aunt Edna being taller than ol' Uncle Clem, but by and large the taller guy holds true. Why? And yes, I know that men are taller in general. The question still stands.
