Yeah, it's mostly internet drama. Go outside and look at couples. You'll see.

You're right about the heels. I hadn't thought about that, but if you like to wear heels then you'll be more likely to prefer a guy who's 2" or 3" taller than you in heels. So, if you like platform heels and the like, and you're on the tall side of average or tall, now you're talking about a 6' minimum requirement. You're also right about behavior I'm heels and out of them. I dated a guy for a short while once who wanted to come to the park (my daughter and I skate) but just to hang out and watch us, not to engage or skate himself or anything. He'd be fine till we got there. But omce we laced up, my daigbter and I were taller then him. She was around 13 or 14 at the time, about 5'6". He made an absolute ass out of himself toward her. Took everything as an affront, even stuff he instigated or was clearly meant to be humerous. So, after the first time, I laid it out for him and suggested he not accompany us. He admitted he felt dwarfed and overreacted because of it. But he wanted to come again, so we all went to the park one day. Same thing. To the Urchling's relief, I dumped him after that trip.
