I personally do not give a fuuck about how tall(or in this case short) another dude is. (my brother is 4-5" shorter than me and could whoop my ass in a second..)
But chicks?
I would not want to marry a woman taller/bigger than me.
And most heterosexual women are the opposite, they prefer a taller, larger framed spouse.
I'm 5'11" but had a 6'1" GF for a while. A former Olympic high jumper no less...
