Short dyke syndrome?

I know most men ( sweeping generalization here, please forgive me ) prefer women who are shorter than they are. Do you have a preferance as to your woman's height? Would you rather be the taller one? Do you feel odd being shorter than your woman?

Shelley is 5'4, barely and I'm 5'6 and she hates it! She's never been with a woman who is taller than she is. She's always telling me she has short dyke syndrome......LOL. Before she and I started dating it never occured to me that it mattered one way or the other. I've had shorter girlfriends and taller girlfriends. Shelley has a FIT on the very rare occasions that I wear high heels........LOL.

Well, for me it doesn't matter how tall a woman is. I once had the hots and (I still do) for a woman that is literally 4ft tall. Of course, she was straight, roflol! Ah the women I used to chase after, lol! Because my left femur (thigh) has been fractured because of a car accident that I was in. Well, it's being held together with screws, pins and a metal plate. Ergo, my left leg is an inch and half shorter than my right. My true height is 5'6". But I like a woman that is either 5'5" or just an inch shorter.

But I wouldn't turn a woman away if she's 6ft tall, I would feel just a bit awkward if we decided to marry, and I had to step up on a stool to kiss my new bride, lol!! (If there are any women 6ft tall reading this, please don't take offense).

lol I think stereotypes come into play some -- taller equates with stronger, the leader, the protector, the masculine role in society. I'm 6 ft. I am not a small woman. rofl

I am not always a fearless leader type. lol Sometimes I need to be the one being led, or supported, or comforted, the softer one, kind of. I don't always want to be the leader. Most times...lol :p And my conditioning screws my expectations or reactions.

Yet I see strong confident women of all sizes. :) I saw a very Butch woman, a photographer, in the bank the other day. She was taking light readings. I just loved her air of in control, at ease and capable. Gaydar went off, with her short blond hair cut and her khakis and button down shirt. I would have liked to talk to her, but I didn't. :p She was my height, maybe in her 40s. I liked the connected feeling I had. So maybe with someone my own height I feel like I can let stereotypes go? I like being free of that women. :) Just being w/o the dancing of roles I get with men. -- some are not comfortable because I'm taller, and make not so funny remarks, etc. Like, get over it, ya know? I'm taller than you. So what! lol

I come from a tall family so most people I know are shorter than me. I am 5'8" barefoot and the rest of my fam is much taller (my sister's oldest boy is 6'8"!!!). I would be fine with someone taller since I'm used to being the shortest (in my family). My co-workers are all between 5'0" and 5'4" so I tower above them. Still, confidence and authority come from within, and most short people I know have that stuff within that makes them a force to be reckoned with.

LOL I am about five three and there isn't any short dyke syndrome here. When I was younger, I had lack of confidence dyke issues, but not because of my height. Now there aren't any confidence issues so people would probably stereotype and say I had a Napoleonic dyke syndrome. That's not true, either. In my mind, I never see myself as short. It just doesn't occur to me. When I went to a national umpire's clinic once, my evaluator told me I was very good, but that I had two problems. The first was that I was short and the second was that I was a woman. I thanked him and said that I understood. So, I never walk to coaches, they come to me. I never cross my arms, I either put them on my hips or behind me. Show no fear, look 'em square in the eye.

Anyway, since I am in the process of checking y'all out, I say bring everybody on! Short, tall, in between. It doesn't matter to me. Height is never an issue.

Hugs to all out there!

hehehe I guess I never really though about it, but now that I do I would tend to go for someone taller than me. I'm 5'3" so most likely everyone will be taller than me anyway. lol

This is so stereotypical....I hate to admit this....but being more on the femme side I would want my partner to be taller. I think I might feel less femme if my partner was shorter than me. That sounds so crazy, I know.

Hmmmm, you seem taller than that to me. Funny how it is about perception, right?
