I am average height, 5'5" and prefer taller guys definitely 5'11" plus. My ex's "type" though is very tall women, like 5'10", he's 6' (though his last 3 partners have all been around my height....). I think perhaps the overall construction of person is more important than just their height!! I can understand why guys would like shorter girls, feeds the whole Alpha male protective instincts I guess. My ex was more of a Beta male looking back on it, hence his preference for tall women so THEY can protect HIM. Lol.
